PROVO — Lone Peak and Pleasant Grove high schools are at odds in most prep athletic events, but the two programs apparently work well at the collegiate level. At least in the case of Pleasant Grove's Heather Gneiting and Lone Peak's Madelyn Robinson, who both played key roles in lifting the No. 1 BYU women's volleyball team past visiting Portland on Saturday in straight sets (25-14, 25-15, 25-18.)

Gneiting, who starts at middle blocker, contributed seven kills on just nine attempts along with three block assists in the win. Robinson, who came off the bench at outside hitter, added eight kills on 14 attempts.
