Congrats to the MPSF regular season and tourney champs. This is a fun team to watch and I'm really hoping for a National Championship. They got the top seed and UCLA, who they've defeated 3 times in the past couple of weeks is the 2 seed. Looking good for them. 8)

Allow me to explain as an LDS guy from SoCal who played high school volleyball. - Why BYU has great volleyball teams

It's a long read but it answers the question from A CA local.

Good read. It's nice to see that occasionally BYU gets some gems from other locations as well. Even Utah!

No comments about this? I am surprised. We beat Long Beach State 3-1 to move to the finals. On Saturday we now have 3 teams in finals.

Saturday 6pm MST on ESPN2 against Ohio State. Maybe some Big12 fans will watch us take down OSU.

I wasn't able to watch live, but I did get on ncaa.com and watch the replay. Really impressive serving by the Cougars. If they can continue that against Ohio State they'll be in great shape!

Been a LONG time since the team won it all. Hope they take it home tomorrow. BYU could actually win 3* national championships tomorrow in Men's Volleyball, Men's Rugby and Women's Rugby.

*The Rugby teams are club teams.

To bad BYU didn't show up in the match. 3 trips the national championship game in 4 years and BYU loses all 3 times by being swept. What a waste. :~( :sick:

Men's Rugby BYU goes up 29-12 then stops playing as they though they had it won and Cal then goes on to win 40-29 with 3 straight treys in the last 10 minutes of the match. :sick: :sick: :~(

Women's Rugby played well but lost 15-5 in the end. Held Penn St. to the lowest score in quite some time. Good job ladies despite the loss. :~(
