Shaped by his parents' sacrifices and five different countries, @WSUCougarSoccer coach Chris Citowicki, fresh off great success at Montana, ushers in a new era and culture for WSU in the new Pac-12. "You're supposed to help them through the hard things." lmtribune.com/sports/the-win…

The last guaranteed Apple Cup in Pullman will be the first played in August. lmtribune.com/sports/wsu-uw-…

WSU wbb beat Westmont 71-46 Sunday in Pullman. Alex Covill paced WSU with 15 points, 10 rebounds. Ele Villa was 5-for-5 from the floor. The Cougars put together a 10-0 run and held Westmont scoreless for nine straight possessions. WSU opens the season at Cal, 7 p.m. next Monday.

A lot to like from WSU mbb's 84-80 exhibition win at UW. Ronnie Harrison 23 points. Lazerek Houston 12/14 on fts Cougs gave the ball away 19 times, but navigated 6 lead changes to win, holding UW to 39% shooting. May not have been the "real thing" but it certainly wasn't AI.

If you thought a September Apple Cup was weird, how about an August Apple Cup? WSU and UW will meet Aug. 28, 2027, a change from the previously scheduled date of Sept. 18.

FINAL: WSU 1, Texas State 1. The Bobcats snag a last minute equalizer. One last fight song for the Cougars' seniors on their home field.

WSU senior goalie Ashlyn Dvorak makes the senior day save on Texas State's PK to preserve the Cougars' 1-0 lead 68 minutes in.

A costly turnover turned a one-score game in the fourth quarter into a runaway win for No. 21 Boise State, which rattled off 21 unanswered points to beat WSU 31-10. lmtribune.com/sports/cougars…

PULLMAN — The Cougars put up a fight, hanging within one score for three quarters, but it was not enough to buck the No. 21 Boise State Broncos, who beat Washington State 31-10 on Saturday at Gesa Field. lmtribune.com/sports/boise-s…

FINAL: Boise State 31, WSU 10 Cougs hung around for three quarters before Boise State rattled off three straight touchdowns to win the schools' first Pac-12 encounter. Broncos were more physical and made fewer mistakes. That's a winning formula.

A humbling reminder that Boise State is ... Boise State. The Broncos' Dylan Riley breaks loose for a 72-yard touchdown run on the third play of the drive. BSU 31, WSU 10 | 6:26 4Q

On the second play after an interception, RB Dylan Riley skates away from Cougar defenders, fortifying Boise State’s lead at 24-10, 11:40 4Q

WSU QB Owen Eshelman misfires from the WSU 41. Seemed to think Kirby Vorhees was going the other way and threw it right into Boise State's Boen Phelps paws. 13-yard return has BSU set up at the WSU 33, already up 7. 12:23 4Q.

Boise State QB Maddux Madsen polishes off a 15-play, 70-yard drive by finding a crossing Cam Bates for the 6-yard go-ahead touchdown. BSU 17, WSU 10 | 13:33 4Q

Jack Stevens nails the 46-yard field goal and it's a tied game again. Eshelman extended the drive with 10 and 18-yard centerfield shots to Daniel Blood and Branden Ganashamoorthy, respectively. WSU 10, BSU 10 | 5:53 3Q

WSU and BSU both come up empty handed on the opening drives of the second half. Boise State elects for a screen pass on third-and-3 that the WSU defense, led by LB Keith Brown, snuffed out. Broncos lead 10-7, 9:41 3Q

BSU 10, WSU 7 1/2 time notes -Going for it on 4th down is pretty fun, right? Cougs convert twice on one series for massive 16-play, 73-yard TD drive. -BSU has its breakthroughs, but WSU's run D has also had its moments. -Eshelman looks good, BSU not giving him tons of time.

Now that would have been something. WSU nickel Jamarey Smith was in the right spot at the right time, but couldn't come down with the interception as Maddux Madsen rushed the ball into harm's way. Broncos kick a field goal to retake the lead. BSU 10, WSU 7 | HALF
