Strong defensive play helped propel No. 9 BYU women’s volleyball to a straight-set win (25-15, 25-13, 25-21) over Gonzaga on Thursday night at the McCarthey Athletic Center.
"Offensively, we had a great match tonight," BYU head coach Heather Olmstead said. "Lyndie (Haddock) did a good job of distributing the offense and we took smart swings. We served tough and played scrappy defense behind the block. We're looking forward to using this match to keep getting better."
Veronica Jones-Perry led the Cougars with 16 kills to go with seven digs and three aces. Lyndie Haddock set the team with 33 assists to go along with nine digs, while Mary Lake collected 16 digs.
