BYU men's volleyball: Cougars ready to take on UCLA in the MPSF championship match

The Cougars struggled to get by Santa Barbara in the semifinals and know they'll have to be better come Saturday to take down the Bruins.

“They’re a great program, and we’ve already had some wonderful battles this year, and they’re going to be ready to play come Saturday. We’ve got to focus and be ready to do the same.”

PROVO — Winning an MPSF championship isn't the ultimate goal for the No. 1-ranked BYU men's volleyball team, but doing as much could prove very beneficial in acquiring the ultimate goal of an NCAA championship.

By advancing to the MPSF championship match with a hard-fought win in five sets (25-18, 25-22, 23-25, 24-26, 15-12) over Santa Barbara, the Cougars are on the cusp of locking up an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
