Volleyball leaves it all on the floor in San Diego loss
San Diego State took the win, but the Cougar volleyball team left nothing in the tank. In a loss that felt closer than the final score, WSU fought through every rally, every dig, and every point until the horn sounded. That kind of effort doesn't always show up in the box score, which is exactly what we talked about in our piece "Four Cougs got touches in a loss the box score won't show."
This was a game where you could see the fight. The Cougs made SDSU earn it, and that matters even when the W-L column says otherwise. For a team that has been grinding through a tough stretch, the resolve on the floor in San Diego was unmistakable. They played like they knew they could win. That's not moral victory talk, that's just what you saw if you watched.
Head coach Kirby Moore broke down what this loss means for the squad moving forward, and we covered that in a separate story worth your time. The short version: the Cougs are learning, adjusting, and not backing down.
If you're a Coug who believes in the process, not just the scoreboard, this is a team worth keeping an eye on. They're not satisfied. Neither should we be. Go Cougs.
