Lehner sets the pace for WSU at Tyson Invitational
Lehner didn't just show up at the Tyson Invitational. He set the pace for WSU, and that's the kind of start that makes you sit up a little straighter. You don't need a win to show you belong, sometimes you just need to be the one everyone else is chasing down the stretch. That's what this felt like.
We've seen this team handle business before. If you missed the Coug serving crew suffocating Texas State, go read "Coug serving crew delivers nine aces, suffocates Texas State." It's the same kind of focus, just on a different court.
The Cougs are stringing together real efforts. Even when the win doesn't land, like in Fort Collins, the effort doesn't disappear. That's what matters. You can't fake that in February.
Lehner is doing the work. The team is doing the work. Pullman isn't a place where you coast. You show up, you set the pace, and you let the results speak for themselves. So far, they're saying plenty.
Go Cougs.
