LONG BEACH, Calif. — The No. 3-ranked BYU men's volleyball team was swept out of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) tournament on Thursday in surprising fashion. Matched up with No. 4 Hawaii in the semifinal round, the Cougars were swept in straight sets (25-22, 25-23, 25-22) and summarily bounced from the tournament.
The loss puts BYU's aspirations for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament in question, with the committee set to announce the participants in the six-team playoff following the conclusion of the conference tournaments this weekend. Four teams will receive automatic bids, with the Cougars now hoping to receive an invitation.
