Washington State Cougars volleyball begins a highly anticipated first season in the West Coast Conference later this month. In addition to being picked to finish sixth in the conference, senior Katy Ryan was chosen as a member of the preseason All-WCC team.

The players on the All-WCC team were selected solely by a vote of the conference’s 11 head coaches. Coaches cannot vote for their own players.

Ryan is a returning three-year starter for the Cougars at opposite hitter. The Lakeland, Idaho product averaged 2.27 kills per set while hitting .279 as a junior. She was a Pac-12 all-conference honorable mentions last season.

The full team is below.
