BYU's best-ever NCAA finish was a Final Four berth in 1993. The Cougars lost to Penn State in the Championship Semifinals.

BYU Last Week in NCAA First and Second Rounds

Led by the hitting of sophomore Nina Puikkonen, the BYU women's volleyball team came from behind to defeat Wisconsin 3-1 (6-15, 15-10, 15-4, 15-9) Saturday at the Smith Fieldhouse in Provo, Utah.

She finished the night with 24 kills and a .477 hitting percentage while also contributing seven blocks. The Cougars hit --.080 in the first game which was the first game of the season that saw the Cougars hit a negative team percentage. They bounced back to hit .364 in the second and took the game 15-10. The BYU block was also a strong key to the victory. The Cougars had 20 team blocks to the Badgers' eight. Sophomore Jackie Bundy led both teams with nine blocks and 14 digs.

Freshman Erin Byrd and senior Allyson Ross led the way for the Badgers. Byrd finished the night with a double-double, tallying 12 kills and13 digs. Ross, playing in the final match of her career, ended the night with 11 kills and eight digs. BYU defeated Princeton, the Ivy League Champions, in three games in its first-round match.
