Columbus, Ohio • Third-seeded BYU has little trouble with sixth-seeded Barton College in the NCAA men's volleyball championships on Tuesday night at St. John Arena.
The Cougars rolled to an easy 3-0 win to move into Thursday's semifinal match against No. 2 seed Long Beach State. The scores were 25-19, 25-11 and 25-15.
BYU hit .351 and held the Bulldogs to .067 hitting in the first-round match, sometimes referred to as the play-in match.
The going will be much more difficult Thursday at 4 p.m. MDT. LBSU is the MPSF tournament champion and beat BYU 3-0 the last time the teams met.
