PROVO, Utah—BYU men’s volleyball released its 2015 schedule Monday, getting set for another season of national powerhouse competition.

Twelve of BYU's 2015 opponents were ranked in the final 2014 AVCA Coaches Poll and three reached the six-berth 2014 NCAA tournament.

The Cougars begin the 2015 season with neutral-site matchups with Lewis and Loyola at Stanford. After a brief stint in nonconference action, BYU opens league play against UCLA at the Smith Fieldhouse Jan. 16 and 17.

In 2015 the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation returns to a doubleheader format, where teams play the same opponent Friday and Saturday. In 2013 the MPSF switched to a home-away schedule, but with Pacific retiring its men’s volleyball program the league switched back to the doubleheader schedule.

Following the home opener, the Cougars hit the road to face UC Santa Barbara Jan. 23 and 24.

Feb 20 and 21, BYU will face Long Beach State at the Fieldhouse before taking a break from conference play with Ball State Feb. 27 and 28.

The Cougars rematch with Stanford on the road March 6 and 7. Last season the Cougars and Cardinal played four times, with BYU winning three out of the four contests, including the MPSF Championship match.

The Cougars finish out March with matches against Pepperdine, which tied BYU for the 2014 regular-season title, on the road and UC Irvine at home. BYU ends the regular season at home, with a doubleheader against Hawai’i.
