COUGARS, VANDALS

The newest Cougar basketball coach is moving into a house with a history. A short history, but one with roots.

New women’s basketball coach June Daugherty is buying Dick Bennett’s house in Pullman. A solid house, with a deep Midwestern foundation, we presume.

Now Cougar fans are hoping she can bring the same values, and the same success in building a program, that Bennett brought to the men’s team.

Jim Meehan shares Akey’s thoughts in the story linked above and on his blog.

• The Vandal women moved into the Western Athletic Conference tennis semifinals, while WSU golfer Amy Eneroth was a second-team All-Pac-10 pick. Both are covered in this roundup.
