Women's Sports at Wazzu is a file of 3 stories. The newest of them: “Coug Women Hold Steady at No. 13, Still Top of the West”, “Cougs get their tip times for Pac-12 women's hoops slate”, and “West Region's top spot finally belongs to our Cougar women”. No. Tip times are out. The unofficial read for people who left Pullman and stayed Cougs. The list below is every Women's Sports story on Wazzu, newest first.
Coug Women Hold Steady at No. 13, Still Top of the West
No. 13 in the country, and still the top-ranked program west of the Mississippi. That is where the Cougar women sit in the latest national poll, and it is a spot that feels earned. Not flashy, not lucky. Just steady. While other programs wobble and reshuffle, WSU's women's team keeps proving that consistency is its own kind of flex. There is no drama here, just results. Being the best in the West means something when the West includes Stanford, Oregon, and UCLA. It means Pullman is on the map for more than just football talk. If you want to dig into how the rest of Cougar sports is shaping up, Kirby Moore broke down Boise State week on the Cougar Football Hour. That is worth a listen. But for now, the women have given us a reason to hold the phone and just be proud. No asterisks. No caveats. Just a ranking that says what we already knew: this program is built right. Go Cougs.
Cougs get their tip times for Pac-12 women's hoops slate
Tip times are out. That means we can finally start planning our February weekends around the Beasley Coliseum instead of pretending we'll get anything done on a Saturday afternoon. The Pac-12 women's hoops slate is here, and the Cougs have actual times to circle. No more guessing. No more refreshing the conference site like it's a job. We know when to show up. The schedule itself is what it is. Conference play is always a grind, and the Pac-12 is not going to hand anyone an easy path. But there's something about having the tip times locked in that makes it real. You can look at a Tuesday night in January and know exactly where you'll be. That's the stuff. That's the rhythm of a season. And sure, we've been through a lot lately. The Beavers and Cougs made their rivalry official, which still feels like the right kind of weird. There's also been plenty of talk about the new Pac-12 and who's rising while others slide. That's all fair. But for now, this is about the women's team and the road ahead. They've got a slate. We've got a calendar. The rest will sort itself out on the court. So mark the dates. Set the reminders. Grab the crew. Cougar basketball is coming back, and we know exactly when to be there. Go Cougs.
West Region's top spot finally belongs to our Cougar women
The West Region's top spot finally belongs to our Cougar women. That's not a headline we get to write every season, and it's one worth sitting with for a second. For a program that has spent years grinding in the shadow of bigger names and sunnier climates, this is the kind of win that changes how people talk about you. It's not just a ranking. It's a statement. You don't luck into being the best in the West. You earn it, match by match, point by point, often without the crowd noise or the primetime slot. These Cougars did the work when nobody was watching, and now they've got the region's attention. That's the kind of story that makes you proud to be a Coug, whether you're still in Pullman or reading this from a coffee shop two time zones away. If you want to see how this team builds on that momentum, check out our coverage of the soccer squad finding its rhythm against Fresno State. Different sport, same grit. Go Cougs.
