Kim Glass had a heated look on her face. She couldn't believe what was happening to her team. She was playing in front of the audience she had always dreamed of, and many of them began to lose hope in their team when it went down two games to zero.

She wasn't used to losing because she didn't have to experience it much back in high school in Pennsylvania.

Picked by the Pacific 10 Conference coaches to finish last in the league, WSU was just hoping not to finish in the conference cellar for the fourth-straight year. The Cougars had very few known players on offense, with the exception of their quarterback, and a defense that was questionable.

However, that hasn't been the case.

During the fall individual season, the Wildcats have looked like a different team, with many players rising to new levels.
