The BYU women’s volleyball team’s appearance at the 2018 NCAA Final Four was shorter than hoped.
Stanford swept the Cougars 25-15, 25-15, 25-18 to bring an end to BYU’s season one match short of the national championship game. The Cardinals — whose only loss this season was to BYU back in August — move on to the title match, where they’ll face the winner of Illinois and defending national champion Nebraska.
BYU went into the match leading the nation in hitting percentage at .315, but Stanford kept the Cougar offense in check. The Cardinal also had 17 blocks to four for the Cougars.
