2024 will mark the first season in the West Coast Conference for Washington State Cougar soccer. Despite the adjustment, early predictions say it could be a productive year for the Cougs.

In addition to being chosen to finish second in the league in this week's WCC coaches poll, senior forward Grayson Lynch and sophomore midfielder Reagan Kotschau were tabbed as preseason all-conference selections.

Kotschau started all 19 games of the 2023 sesason for Washington State as a true freshman, netting four goals and two assists with 15 shots on goal.

Lynch, a fifth-year senior in 2024, missed most of last season with a knee injury. The Colorado has 17 goals and seven assists on her resume as a Cougar.

The Cougars play their first match of the regular season on August 15 at Purdue and open their home slate on August 22 against Montana.
