"This was as good of a match as we've played," BYU head coach Chris McGown said. "The boys put everything together tonight. We played as well-rounded of a game as I've seen us play, and it was against a tough team in a tough environment."
Freshman Ben Patch led the Cougars with 12 kills, and senior Ryan Boyce added 35 assists. More stats are available here.
