PROVO, Utah – No. 12 BYU women’s volleyball returns home this week for a pair of matches against Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine.

Loyola Marymount

  • BYU will first face off against Loyola Marymount (17-3, 5-3 WCC) Thursday at 7 p.m. MDT at the Smith Fieldhouse.
  • The Cougars won both matchups a year ago in conference play – first a five-set thriller on the road and then a closely contested sweep at home.
  • The Lions have never beaten BYU in the teams’ eight matchups.
  • Loyola Marymount returns just three starters to last year’s squad that finished 14-14, 8-10 WCC.

Pepperdine
