Series Preview
Utah Valley heads to Pullman, Washington this week to take on Pac 12 Washington State in a four-game series beginning Thursday at 4 p.m. PT/5 p.m. MT. It's the first true road series for the Wolverines this season, who have played eight of nine games so far this season at neutral sites.

UVU (4-5) went 2-3 last week, winning a midweek game against  San Francisco before dropping three of four at Santa Clara's Jack Gifford Memorial Tournament. The Wolverines fell to host SCU on Friday before a 2-0 loss to UC Davis on Saturday. The weekend wrapped up with a Sunday twin bill with Utah Valley losing 6-5 to Saint Joseph's before a 10-8 win over UC Davis.

Greyson Bogden had a big week for the Wolverines, batting .458 with three home runs and six runs batted in. Patrick Wolfe also continued his excellent relief work early on, making two appearances and combining on 7.2 innings and allowing just one run on two hits while striking out 11. He struck out a career-high eight against Saint Joseph's on Sunday, and through just four appearances the junior southpaw is only two strikeouts shy of tying his career-best total.

About the Cougars
Washington State (3-5) will be home for the first time this season and is beginning an eight-game homestand on Thursday. WSU has won six in a row in the series against Utah Valley. The last time the teams met the Cougars swept the Wolverines in Pullman in 2011.

WSU went 2-2 at the Al Ogletree Classic last weekend, hosted by UVU's WAC partner UT Rio Grande Valley. Washington State lost to UTRGV, 3-1, split two games with Houston Baptist and defeated Prairie View A&M. The Cougars host Northeastern next week before beginning Pac 12 play at UCLA.

On Deck
Utah Valley returns to the Beehive State to face BYU next Tuesday in Provo at 6 p.m. MT. The Wolverines will then host Portland in a four-game series to open the 2016 home schedule. That series begins on Thursday, March 10 at 6 p.m. MT.
