Wazzu Surges in Second Round, Holds Tight at No. 2
Second round, and Wazzu didn't just hold serve, they surged. The Cougs jumped out of the gate with the kind of energy that makes you sit up a little straighter in your seat, and they never let off. By the time the dust settled, the team had locked down the No. 2 spot, and it wasn't a fluke. This was grit, execution, and that particular brand of Pullman patience that wears opponents down.
You could feel it in the way they moved. Crisp passes. Defensive rotations that looked rehearsed but felt instinctive. Nobody panicked. That's the part that gets you, the composure. For a program that's been building something real, this second round felt like a statement. Not a loud one. Just a steady, confident reminder that these Cougs belong in the conversation.
