Why Washington
“Choosing WSU was easy. Not only did it allow
me to play in any volleyball player’s dream
conference, but it gave me the opportunity
to play with the support of a great family of
teammates and coaches as well as the entire
surrounding community. What more could a
girl ask for?”

“The main reason I chose to come to Wazzu is
because of the high levels of cohesion among
the Cougar nation. I have never been to a
school with more pride than WSU, and believe
it or not, that statement is completely unbiased!
It really doesn’t get any better than this!”
Brittany Tillman
“I came to WSU because I wanted to play
against the best competition in volleyball the Pac-10 - and I thought WSU was a great
opportunity. I couldn’t think of any other place
where I could excel better both as an athlete
and as a student.”
Jackie Albright
State University?
“I chose to become a Cougar because of the
strong sense of student spirit, the academic
opportunities and to play with these incredible
athletes that made me feel like part of the
Cougar family from the very beginning. After
my visit, I knew that this was the place for me
to grow and develop not only as an athlete but
as a person as well.”
Cassie Robbins
“I chose WSU because I was born and raised
in Pullman and grew up watching Cougar
volleyball. The small town atmosphere filled
with Cougar pride and Pac-10 volleyball all
make Washington State University an amazing
place to be. I am proud and grateful to be a
part of Cougar Volleyball.
Amy Small
“I came to WSU for the combination of
the academic opportunities and a closeknit community with the big-time college
atmosphere.”
