PROVO, Utah - Behind an all-time hitting performance, No. 1 BYU women's volleyball defeated San Francisco (25-12, 25-12, 25-9) in the Smith Fieldhouse on Senior Day in front of 4,213 fans. 

With the win, the Cougars (25-0, 15-0 WCC) clinched at least a share of their fifth-straight West Coast Conference championship. A win in any of their last three games will give the Cougars the outright title. 

Playing their first match without All-American McKenna Miller after Miller suffered a torn ACL on Thursday, the Cougars rallied to hit at a .537 clip, the second-best percentage in the rally scoring era and fourth-best overall in program history.

Roni Jones-Perry led with 12 kills and two aces with Heather Gneiting adding 10 kills and six blocks. Three players had eight kills apiece: Kennedy Eschenberg, who also hit at a .800 clip, Madelyn Robinson, and Lacy Haddock, setting a season high. 

Haddock, Jones-Perry, Lyndie Haddock-Eppich, Sydnie Martindale and Danelle Stetler were honored before the match for Senior Day. (See the end of story for each players' Senior Day bio.)

"I’m grateful for Lyndie, Lacy, Danelle, Syd and Roni," BYU head coach Heather Olmstead said. "They each bring something special to our team. They all played great today."
