PROVO, Utah — The BYU men's volleyball will travel to Palo Alto, California to compete in the 2023 MPSF men's volleyball tournament, with a matchup in the Quarterfinals against the No. 7 ranked Concordia University Irvine on Wednesday, April 19 at 3:05 pm PDT in Maples Pavilion. Stanford University will be hosting all of the games for this year's MPSF Tournament.

BYU (18-6) is coming off an eight-game win streak, including a perfect 14-0 home season. The Cougars stayed at No. 6 in this week’s AVCA coaches poll, its 12th week in a row on the rankings. Last season, BYU’s highest ranking at any point was eight.

Concordia are 8-18 on the season, but have two wins against ranked opponents in the top-10. In March, the Golden Eagles were able to upset No. 5 GCU in five-sets in Arizona, something BYU was not able to accomplish when they traveled to the GCU Arena this year. The Cougars defeated Concordia twice this season on the road, with one game going to five sets. 

In the MPSF Tournament, the Cougars have been named MPSF Champions eight times (1991, 2001, 2004, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021).
