Washington State athletics face upcoming matchups

Washington State University (WSU) prepares for a series of athletic contests. The women's volleyball team, currently holding an 8-9 record, is scheduled for a two-match stand at home against Colorado State and Texas State. Following a five-set loss to Fresno State, head coach Korey Schroeder emphasized the need for improved performance after the team recorded its second-lowest hitting percentage of the season during their recent outing.

In football, the WSU Cougars are set to host the 21st-ranked Boise State Broncos at Gesa Field. Boise State enters the matchup with a highly productive rushing attack led by Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines. WSU head coach Kirby Moore noted the difficulty of defending the Broncos' backfield, which features Riley, who has recorded 835 rushing yards, and Gaines, who has contributed 354 yards.
