No. 1 BYU men’s volleyball beats No. 7 Pepperdine in tough matchup with two overtime sets
No. 1 BYU men’s volleyball beat No. 7 Pepperdine in a competitive matchup that included two overtime sets on Saturday night.
Both teams put up a tough fight in each set as neither team won a set by more than two points.
Head coach Shawn Olmstead credited his team for sticking in each set and being able to pull away for the win. “For the guys to stick to it it was big. The guys dug deep for the win.”
The Cougars won three sets consecutively after dropping the first set to Pepperdine. Getting senior opposite hitter Gabi Garcia Fernandez more involved and improved passing were the biggest factors for BYU’s comeback, Olmstead said.
