No. 16 BYU womenâs volleyball sweeps Portland twice in opening week
The No. 16 womenâs volleyball team dominated in the opening week of West Coast Conference play as the Cougars swept Portland on Jan. 26 and 27.
The Cougars showed no signs of rust due to an extended off-season, coming out of the gate strong to win the first set 25-9. They completed the sweep with scores of 25-22 and 25-17 in the final two sets.
Senior outside hitter Taylen Ballard-Nixon matched her career high with 14 kills, hitting at a .393 clip and leading the Cougars to their season-opener win over the Pilots. Ballard-Nixon also added seven digs and a pair of aces to the team’s stats.
