Seattle Times staffDec. 2, 2023 at 10:16 pm
The No. 10 Washington State volleyball team advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament by beating Dayton in Pullman on Saturday night.

The fourth-seeded Cougars (26-7) won 25-21, 25-15, 20-25, 25-16 against the No. 5 Flyers (32-3).

The Cougars will be at top-seeded Pittsburgh (27-4) on Thursday. Pitt beat No. 8 USC 3-1.

It’s the Cougars’ first trip to the Sweet 16 since 2018.

Magda Jehlarova had 15 kills and 10 blocks for the Cougars, and Pia Timmer added 12 kills and 11 digs. Argentina Ung added 42 assists, eight digs and seven blocks for WSU, and Iman Isanovic had 11 kills and seven digs.

Jehlarova became the Pac-12’s all-time leader in career blocks with No. 757 early in the win. She had no errors to hit .750 for the match.

Taylor Russell led Dayton with 15 kills, and Lexie Almodovar had 11 kills and 15 digs.

The loss snapped a program-record 27-match win streak for No. 19 Dayton, which was undefeated in Atlantic 10 play.

Julie, can I chime in about the "sweet Lady Cougs" thread title without getting my ass chapped by everyone else on this Board?

Really trying to keep away from the female references. It's a rough road for a guy who adores women.

Watched the match. Kudos to Dayton for putting together a good third set, but the Cougs had them outclassed from the get-go. Looking forward to taking a long lunch on Thursday to watch the match.

We've done well on the road; the experience level on the team is a big help. I like our chances even though it is on their floor.

Scanning Pitt's schedule there were a few common opponents this year. Lost to BYU (1-3) and Oregon (2-3). Split with Louisville. Lost in their first match 0-3 then won later in the season 3-2.

Julie Dalton is an OH for Pitt. She was at WSU for a year before hitting the portal. Seems like she's maybe been injured this year?

Pitt obviously has a really good program and going east for an early game isn't easy. Glad we have a lot of vets.

Interestingly enough, when you click the "watch" button for the game on the WSU official website, it brings up ESPNU.
