    All season long, the WSU women’s soccer team had one clear goal for the season. To make the NCAA tournament, something the Cougars had not done since 2002. The NCAA passed over the team in 2005, despite it reaching 11 wins for the first time in Matt Potter’s three years as head coach…

  • Cougar soccer ties Huskies

    The WSU soccer team (8-5-5, 2-3-2 Pac-10) will have to wait another year to settle any bragging rights with the University of Washington.

  • Soccer hosts rival UW on Friday

    A win over a cross-state rival can heal just about any wound. Even a wound as deep as losing to an unranked Oregon State that had a 21-match conference winless streak.

  • Soccer to have rough weekend

    No one ever said life in the Pac-10 was easy. The WSU soccer team (6-3-4, 0-1-1 Pac-10) can testify to that. The Cougars will not get a chance to exhale after taking on No. 3 UCLA and No. 5 USC last weekend. The team will continue to navigate itself through the gauntlet that is the Pac-10…

  • Cougar defender leads by example

    Maggie Dougher is a defensive player in the purest form. Rather than scoring goals, the junior defender finds her glory in shutouts. And this year, the team has posted its fair share with the help of Dougher, who has played defense for most of her soccer career…

  • Soccer loses in overtime to No. 3 UCLA, ties USC

    Fifty-seven seconds away from victory. The WSU soccer team (6-3-4, 0-1-1 Pac-10) cannot get that thought out of its head. Those seconds were all that separated the team from victory in Friday’s 2-1 loss at No. 3 UCLA. The Cougars held a 1-0 lead for almost the entire game until…
