WCC play begins with matchups against LMU and Pepperdine Sept. 22 and 24 in the Smith Fieldhouse. The conference schedule continues with Thursday and Saturday matchups through the majority of the season and will conclude with a Tuesday night home match against San Diego on Nov. 22.

After falling to Pitt in the Sweet 16 last season, the Cougars finished with a 30-2 record, which included going 18-0 in conference play and winning the team’s sixth conference title in the last seven seasons.

Despite losing four starters from last season, the Cougars still return plenty of production, featuring WCC Setter of the Year and All-America Honorable Mention Whitney Bower, along with USA Collegiate National Team members Erin Livingston and Heather Gneiting.
