The match came down to a tiebreaker in the third set of the final singles match. The Cougars were not deterred and beat the Aztecs of San Diego State the next day 5-2.

Denver is coming off a home win against Boise State Saturday. The Pioneers defeated the Broncos handily in a 7-0 sweep. In addition, Denver defeated Utah State 7-0 the day prior to make it two consecutive sweeps. Historically, competing against Denver, BYU is 8-6.
