I don’t think the score is indicative of how good of a game that was. It got away from us, no doubt about it.
BYU ran out of elimination-game magic Saturday afternoon.
The Cougars, who had won five consecutive win-or-go-home contests dating back to last week’s West Coast Conference tournament, lost to top-seed Stanford in the NCAA regional 9-1 at Klein Field at Sunken Diamond.
BYU, the West Coast Conference champion, finished its season with a 38-21 record. The Cougars posted a 1-2 record in NCAA Tournament play, falling to Cal State Fullerton and Stanford while earning a victory over Sacramento State.
