College Sports Madness has announced their Western Athletic
Conference Preseason All-Conference teams and four Redhawks were named across
the two teams. Bubba Morrow (Auburn, Wash.) and Sarah Petosa (Federal Way,
Wash.) were named to the First Team and Lisa Maulden (Maple Valley, Wash.) and

“We are proud to have four representatives on the Preseason
All-WAC Team,” said head coach Dan Powers. “Sarah, Brianna, Lisa, and Bubba are
