Cougars Sweep Gaels

In a Thursday night thriller the BYU Cougars took on their first WCC opponent St. Mary's College, and won.

The Cougars found their revenge sweeping the Gaels 25-14, 25-17, 25-13, after the match earlier this season.

Understanding Stats

It has come to my attention that some people would like a quick run down of the stats sheet. For the most part all stats sheets look the same but I'll point out a couple of differences from the normal BYU. So here it is(from left to right):

Comeback for the Cougars

After letting last night's match slip through their hands the lady Cougars came back stronger than the football team for a four set win against the Matadors of Cal State Northridge, 25-15, 25-22, 16-25, 25-17.

Third Time's the Charm

On the road for the past five matches the Cougars couldn't put up a solid front to stop the Cal State Fullerton Titans from a 4 set win, 22-25, 22-25, 26-24, 23-25.

POW Jen Hamson put up a good effort Friday night.

Despite good play from some, the Cougars couldn't get three hitters in double kills and couldn't get their three sets.

Top Cat in Utah

With a win tonight in Logan, the BYU Cougars have faced and swept all three of their in-state opponents for the 2011 season, making them pretty much the best volleyball team in Utah, but you already knew that.

The Cougars swept the Aggies in three tonight, 25-22, 25-21, 25-19 giving themselves a nine-match win streak.

Cougars take Crown

In the final match of the Utah Invitational the BYU Cougars swept in-state rival Utah under the rug in a decisive victory!

Me with the best cousin/roommate/hitter! And the trophy! ;) 

In my favorite match of the season so far the Lady Cougars laid the smack down on the Utah Utes in front of a packed house at the U of U. A three match sweep, 25-20, 25-17, 25-14, the Cougars brought home not only the Tournament Championship but also the Deseret First Duel Trophy.

Cougars Shut Down East. Michigan

In their second match of the Utah Invitational BYU shut down the team-to-beat Eastern Michigan in a 3-1 win.

The previous night EM had defeated host Utah in 5, and looked to continue an 8-win streak, but only the Cougars could come out on top.

BYU sweeps over UC Riverside

In the opening match for Utah's Invitational the BYU Cougars swept the UC Riverside Highlanders under an ugly rug.

In a three match sweep the Cougars came on top, 25-20, 25-14, 25-16, in one of the most creative matches I've ever seen. 

Sister Rivals and a W

In a great showing of sisterly rivalry the BYU Cougars of Provo went up against the BYU Seasiders of Hawai'i last night in the Smith Fieldhouse in Provo. In a dominant three set sweep the Cougars showed their sisters how it's done.

Tourney Champs

And the Champions are...BYU!

THE team from BYU.

The Lady Cougars took first place in Varney's Kansas State Invitational Tournament! After handily defeating Idaho and Georgia Southern  on Friday, BYU went head to head against Kansas State on Saturday and came out on top.

BYU goes to Kansas in Winnning Style

Thursday the volleyball team headed out early to Varney's Kansas State Invitational at Kansas State in Manhattan, Kansas. 

Friday the volleyball team defeats both Idaho and Georgia Southern with style.

Saturday the volleyball team will probably defeat Kansas State and bring home a tournament victory, just sayin'.
