Cougars Edge Cardinal in Five Game Thriller
PROVO -- The BYU men's volleyball team avoided its first back-to-back loss in over two seasons by overcoming a 2-1 deficit to knock off fourth-ranked Stanford 27-30, 30-26, 29-31, 30-28, 15-13 on Saturday in the Smith Fieldhouse. The Cougars' first win of the season evened their record at 1-1, while Stanford suffered its first loss of the year, falling to 2-1.
"I got to a point in the match where I would have been satisfied with any outcome," BYU head coach Carl McGown said. "After last night I wanted to come out with some heart and play with some emotion. I feel like we were able to do that. We showed some heart and kept fighting to the very end. I was very pleased with our effort tonight."
In a closely contested match, the Cardinal had the momentum, and looked to be on their way to winning their second straight match against the Cougars. But BYU displayed resiliency in overcoming a tough Stanford attack and win its first match of the season. Despite 19 service errors by each team, the intensity and competition was high in this early season match.
Stanford jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first game, and never looked back as the Cardinal continued its previous night's solid play against the Cougars. Although an even game statistically, as each team had 20 kills and six hitting errors, Stanford held the lead throughout.
The Cougars took an early 3-0 lead in the second game, and stretched their lead to 26-19 before eventually putting the game away. Both teams had trouble serving, as evidenced in the second game, with seven of the game's last 20 points scored on service errors.
The Cardinal out-hit the Cougars .429 to .282 in the third game, but three additional service errors by BYU proved to be the difference, in a tightly contested game.
Although still early in the season, the fourth game displayed a high degree of competition, in a point-for-point game that featured 20 ties. BYU called a timeout down 24-26, and the Cougars came out determined to win the game. Cougar senior All-American outside hitter, Mike Wall, had a decisive service ace to put BYU up 29-27, and junior outside hitter Luka Slabe capped the game with one of his 11 kills on the night.
With the momentum, BYU seized a 3-0 lead in the fifth and final game, and never looked back as the Cougars out-hit the Cardinal .647 to .556. Behind the crowd of 3,040, Wall clinched the match with a clean cross-court kill.
Wall led the Cougars with 25 kills on 46 swings (.391) and racked up eight digs with four blocks. Three other BYU players reached double-digits on the night, including Joaquin Acosta, who was 20-of-30 (.533) at the net, sophomore Chris Gorny, who tallied 16 kills and Slabe, who had 11. Setter Jeremiah Larsen had a break-out night, totaling a match-high 78 assists.
"We're a young team," McGown said. "We have new middle blockers, a new setter and we're still trying to figure out where we are going to play some of these guys. I'm not the fastest at trying to figure these kinds of things out, so we're going to take our time and make sure we're doing things right. I think tonight showed we're heading in the right direction."
Stanford was led by junior outside hitter Curt Toppel, who had a match-high 32 kills to go along with a .472 hitting percentage. Junior outside hitter Billy Strickland had a double-double for the Cardinal with 12 kills and 10 digs.
BYU will prepare this week for its second straight MPSF double-header. The Cougars will host Pacific on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 18-19, in the Smith Fieldhouse. Both matches are scheduled to being at 7 p.m. (MST).
"Pacific is in the same class as Stanford," McGown said. "We will have to have a good week of practice and get ready for UoP. They are a good team--a team we can't afford to take lightly. We will have to have a good week of practice and get ready for a very good team."
