The Cougars open their 2014 slate with a three-game series at Cal State Fullerton, a 2013 Super Regional participant, Feb. 14-16, followed by a single game at UC Riverside (Feb. 17).

“We have a great nonconference schedule,” Washington State Head Coach Donnie Marbut said. “Most of the games will be against teams that were in the postseason or on the verge of it last season. Then we get to Pac-12 where we open with the last-two national champions.”
