2024 Season Overview

The 2024 volleyball season marks the beginning of a new era for the University of Washington volleyball program. New head coach Keegan Cook, previously the head coach at the University of Minnesota, will lead the Huskies into their new season.

The Huskies will open their season at home against No. 5 Stanford on August 30th, 2024, before traveling to take on No. 11 Creighton the following weekend.

Other notable games on the Huskies' schedule include a trip to No. 2 Wisconsin on September 13th, a home match against No. 3 UCLA on September 27th, and a road match at No. 4 Texas on October 11th.

The Huskies will also play a home-and-home series with Pac-12 rival Oregon, hosting the Ducks on October 4th and traveling to Eugene on November 1st.

The regular season will conclude on November 23rd, with the Pac-12 Tournament set to begin on November 28th.

Key Players

The Huskies will be led by a number of key players in 2024, including:

• All-American middle blocker Lauren Sanders
• Senior outside hitter Madi Endsley
• Junior outside hitter Shannon Crenshaw
• Sophomore setter Ella May Powell
• Redshirt freshman libero Sophie Summers

Expectations

The Huskies are expected to be one of the top teams in the Pac-12 and a contender for the NCAA Tournament in 2024.

Cook has a proven track record of success at the collegiate level, leading Minnesota to three Big Ten Championships and four NCAA Tournament appearances during his time in Minneapolis.
