For the sixth straight season, the WSU volleyball team is headed to the NCAA Tournament. The Cougars were awarded an at-large bid on Sunday and will face Northern Colorado on Thursday.
The Cougs will have a tough road ahead. If they beat Northern Colorado on Thursday, they would advance to likely face No. 5 Baylor on Friday. Baylor is the host of the regional and would also have a significant home-court advantage.
Northern Colorado finished the regular season 24-6 and 13-3 in the Big Sky. They will be at a significant disadvantage on Thursday as their head coach Lyndsey Oates will not coach in the game due to Covid-19 protocols.
