(8-8, 1-3) at STANFORD (9-7, 3-1) 6 p.m. Friday Jan. 12, 2018 Palo Alto, Calif. Maples Pavilion (7,233) - The Cougs head to California to take on Stanford and No. 24 Cal over the weekend. - Last season, the Cougs fell to Stanford at home in the lone regular season meeting. Two months later, the Cougs faced Stanford once again in the Pac-12 tournament with the Cardinal prevailing en route to taking the Pac-12 championship title. - WSU is looking for its first win over the Cardinal with Stanford holding a 62-0 record against the Cougs all-time. In a game dominated by whistles it was no surprise that the contest would be decided at the free throw line as Utah (12-3, 3-1 Pac-12) hit a pair of freebies with 0.5 seconds remaining in the game to steal a win on the road against the Cougars (8-8, 1-3 Pac-12) Sunday afternoon at Beasley Coliseum. Dominating for most of the game, the Cougs could never quite shake the hard-nosed Utes despite another huge scoring effort out of Borislava Hristova who scored a game-high 29 points and finished just one point shy of being the third Coug to ever record back-to-back 30-point efforts. For three quarters, the Cougs shot the lights out of Beasley, pushing their lead to as much as 13 points late in the third before going cold in the game s final period. The Utes climbed back into the game with a 14-2 run, initially sparked by the play of Daneesha Provo, between the end of the third and the start of the fourth to turn a potential blowout into a tie with 7:37 to play. Provo would score 14 of her 22 points in the second half before fouling out of the game 2:27 to go. With Provo out, the Cougs would score five quick points to go up with 2:03 to play only to be outscored 9-2 in the final minutes. Alexys Swedlund would tie the game at with the Cougs final points of the game from the line only to see the game slip away in the final second thanks to the two free throws by Tilar Clark. Clark was fouled after collecting a pair of offensive rebounds when the Cougs forced an initial bad shot by the Utes with just :04 seconds to play.

5 Coaching Staff June DAUGHERTY Head Coach 11th Year Washington State University Head Coach June Daugherty completed her 10th season with the Cougars, having led the charge toward a new era in WSU women s basketball. Just as she had done at each of her two previous stops, Daugherty, who has coached more than 800 career games, has begun turning around the WSU women s program, leading the Cougars into the postseason in three of the last four seasons including a semifinal run in the WNIT in She continues to bringing in top-ranked recruiting classes, improve attendance numbers and oversee student-athletes who place premiums on academics and community service. In arguably her best coaching performance in her 10 seasons on the Palouse, Daugherty led an injury-riddled Cougar squad into the postseason in 2017 after earning the Pac-12 s automatic bid to the WNIT. Making the most of their new life in the postseason, the Cougars, with Daugherty at the helm, won their first-ever postseason game with a victory at BYU on Mar. 16 in the opening round of the WNIT. The Cougs would go on to win three more games and run their way into the WNIT Final Four while playing in four different time zones and traveling over 4200 miles. Most impressively, Daugherty kept a young Cougar team together despite season ending injuries to four players including the team s top three starters. Even without the three starters for much of the year, the Cougs managed to finish seventh in the Pac-12 standings, earning their spot in the postseason. The Cougars finished the regular season with a overall record, including a 6-12 mark in Pac-12 Conference play earning a tie for 7th after being picked to finish 10th in the preseason. The Cougars defeated one nationallyranked opponent, upsetting #9/7 UCLA, 82-73, on Jan. 6 in the biggest upset in school history. The Cougars would go on to set numerous season records on the year including games played (36), minutes played (7,275), rebounds (1,455), assists (500), blocked shots (152), and steals (375). Off the court, the Cougars continued to shine in the classroom with three Pac-12 All- Academic honorees led by Pinelopi Pavlopoulou on the first team. She would be joined by Alexys Swedlund and Maria Kostourkova as honorable mention recipients. Under Daugherty, Washington State has reached the Pac-12 Conference Tournament semifinals two times, 30 student-athletes earned all-academic honors in the last nine years, and five players signed professional contracts to play overseas in the last four summers including Lia Galdeira who was selected No. 19 overall by the Washington Mystics in the 2016 WNBA Draft, the first player drafted in program history. In , Daugherty guided a youthful team to the school s best start since the season. WSU went 9-2 in nonconference play before entering Pac-12 play and the toughest RPI conference in the country. Under Daugherty s leadership, freshman Borislava Hristova earned All-Pac-12 and Pac-12 All-Freshman Team honors, breaking WSU freshman records in 20-point games, total points, scoring average, field goals made, and free throw percentage. The Cougars finished the season with a record and a 5-13 record in Pac-12 play, finishing ninth with season sweeps of Colorado and Arizona. Daugherty also oversaw the defensive success of WSU s frontline, which tallied a then school-record 120 total blocks. The Cougars picked up a top-25 win over No. 25 USC with a decisive victory. During the campaign, Daugherty hit a personal milestone, earning her 400th career win as the Cougars defeated Utah Feb. 15. Daugherty continued to build on the success of the previous season, as WSU earned a second-consecutive postseason berth for the first time in school history. The WSU women s basketball program earned national recognition, recording one of the biggest wins in program history with a victory over No. 10/8 Maryland, an eventual No. 1 seed and Final Four participant, in Puerto Rico, November 29. During the season, Daugherty led the Cougars to one of the best campaigns in program history, earning a trip to the WNIT, the program s first postseason appearance since 1991, and posted 17 wins, the most since WSU also notched four wins over ranked teams, including one on the road against No. 10 Nebraska and went on to post nine conference wins for the first time since Guards Lia Galdeira and Tia Presley both earned spots on the All-Pac-12 Team, becoming the first pair of Cougar teammates to earn all-conference honors in the same season in program history. The Cougars received some national recognition late in the year, receiving votes in the Top-25 USA Today Coaches Poll following their Pac-12 Tournament run, becoming the first WSU team to be mentioned in a poll since the season. In , Daugherty led a team that featured six freshmen and three sophomores to the Pac-12 Conference Tournament quarterfinals for the second straight season, beating Arizona State in the opening round before falling to top-seeded Stanford. The Cougars improved three spots in the conference standings from a season ago, finishing eighth. WSU produced some notable wins while playing one of the toughest schedules in the country, beating No. 20 Ohio State, posting a road victory over regional rival Gonzaga and sweeping the season series with Arizona State. The Cougars finished the year with a program record for blocks in a season with 114. Also under Daugherty s guidance in , the Cougars backcourt received recognition from the conference as Lia Galdeira, the second-leading freshman scorer in the country and three-time Pac-12 Freshman of the Week winner, earned a number of All-Pac-12 accolades as a freshman after pacing the Cougars in scoring, rebounding, steals and minutes. Sophomore point guard Tia Presley also earned all-conference honors despite being limited to seven conference games due to injury. Daugherty also saw center Carly Noyes cap off her impressive career by becoming the school s alltime leader in blocked shots, games played and career starts. The campaign saw Daugherty lead the Cougars to one of the most successful seasons in program history while playing one of the toughest schedules in the country (No. 27). WSU posted the most wins since , recording 13 overall victories and the second double-digit win season under Daugherty while improving their final RPI by 50 spots from the season prior. The Cougars saved its best for last, beating UCLA the final weekend of the regular season before posting the program s inaugural wins at the conference tournament. WSU knocked off Oregon State and USC in the first two rounds to advance to the nationally-televised semifinal against California held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Additionally, Daugherty led the Cougs to the program s inaugural win over a Big Ten Conference opponent (Wisconsin) and the first win over a Big East Conference opponent (Marquette) in over 20 years. Daugherty s team followed nonconference play by winning its first three games of Pac-12 play for the first time since The Cougars made their mark on the record book as well, posting the most rebounds, the sixth-most points, fourth-most threes, fifth-most assists and second-most assists in WSU single-season history also saw Daugherty s first WSU recruiting class cap their impressive careers as a pair of 1,000-point scorers exited along with a threetime academic all-conference selection in addition to the three players who received invites to the WNBA combine.
