BYU Splits with Oklahoma and Central Florida

Image

BYU's Kim Wilson and Erica Lott Named to All-Tournament Team

PROVO -- BYU improved to 4-2 on the season with a dominating 3-0 sweep of Central Florida to conclude the BYU Mizuno Classic.

On the strength of their serve game, the Cougars recorded wins of 30-15, 30-12, 30-22 over the Knights. The Cougars finished the tournament with a 2-1 record to place second behind 3-0 Oklahoma. The Cougars dropped a tough five-game match to the Sooners earlier Saturday afternoon.

"We played really well," BYU coach Karen Lamb said. "We've had to deal with several injuries but everyone stepped up and did a great job."

Led by middle hitters Lindsy Hartsock and Catherine Parker, the Cougars hit a season-high .400 against Central Florida. Hartsock put down a game-high 13 kills while hitting .579 while Parker recorded 10 kills and a .533 attack percentage. Outside hitter Erica Lott added nine kills for the Cougars and a game-high four service aces. Setter Lauren Richards had three aces while totaling 30 assists.

BYU's strong serving and solid defense helped hold the Knights to a negative (.067) attack percentage as Central Florida managed just 17 kills to BYU's 45. Shane Neiderworder and Janet Mitchell led the Knights with five kills apiece.

In BYU's first match of the day, the Cougars lost a close contest to Oklahoma, falling in five games (26-30, 30-28, 30-27, 20-30, 10-15).

"They played better than us in all phases of the game," said Lamb. "I'm disappointed. We need to take care of the first game instead of getting ourselves into a hole, but we'll do better in the next match."

The Cougars struggled in the first game as they tried to find their rhythm. Despite having their best hitting percentage of the match, .351, BYU could not overcome mistakes and dropped game one.

In game two, the Cougars stepped up the defense, recording seven of their 13 total blocks, to overcome a dismal .150 hitting percentage and win the game. After going down 18-12, BYU put together a 6-0 run, which included two aces and a kill by Richards, to get back in it. Kills by Kim Wilson on four of the last five Cougar points gave BYU the victory.

BYU returned to form in game three, hitting .333 and doubling up the Sooners on digs, 14-7. Two consecutive kills by Wilson, who had 20 in the match, sealed the game for BYU to put them up 2-1.

But it was all Oklahoma from there as the Sooners dominated the fourth and fifth games, hitting .439 in the fourth game and .400 in the fifth while holding the Cougars to .250 and .190 respectively.

Wilson and Lott led the way for the Cougars offensively, with Wilson recording 20 kills on .326 hitting and Lott notching a career-high 19 kills on .255 hitting. Lindsey Evans picked up 18 digs and Lindsy Hartsock led the way with 8 blocks.

UVSC also matched BYU's 2-1 tournament record, while Memphis went 1-3 and Central Florida finished 0-3.

Oklahoma's Joanna Schmitt was the Mizuno Classic Most Valuable Player. Joining BYU's Wilson and Lott on the All-Tournament Team were UVSC's Deisa Borghetti, Memphis' Tiara Gilkey, Central Florida's Emily Watts and Oklahoma's Rachel Jackson.

Cougars To Make Home Debut

Image

PROVO -- The Cougars will make their Provo debut this weekend as hosts of the annual Mizuno Classic presented by the Provo Courtyard Marriott. With matches against Memphis, Oklahoma and Central Florida, BYU looks to improve its 2-1 record.

After a strong opening weekend at the Penn State Classic in which the Cougars' only loss came at then-No. 8 Penn State, the Mizuno Classic offers BYU a chance to compete against quality teams in the friendly confines of the Smith Fieldhouse. BYU was 12-2 last year at home and has compiled a 419-73 record in front of the hometown fans since 1972.

"Being at home is definitely an advantage for us," said BYU head coach Karen Lamb. "Playing on our court in front of our fans will really help elevate our game."

BYU has hosted its annual tournament since 1977 and in that time has compiled a 112-24 record in the event. The Cougars have won the tournament 17 times, including last season as they defeated Ohio State, Rice and then-No. 8 Penn State. Besides Memphis, Oklahoma and Central Florida, this year's line-up also includes Utah Valley State College.

With tradition on their side, the Cougars are ready to once again take the tournament title. Outside hitter Kim Wilson is coming off an outstanding opening weekend during which she was named to the Penn State Classic All-Tournament team after recording back-to-back double-doubles against Rutgers (21 kills, 14 digs) and Penn State (15 kills, 10 digs). Her 21-kill outing marked the first time a BYU player has notched more than 20 kills in a match since Wilson did it against Penn State in last year's Mizuno Classic.

Setter Lauren Richards is also ready to lead the Cougars to victory as she quarterbacks the attack. Richards earned All-Tournament honors at Penn State along with Wilson after averaging 12.17 assists per game and coming within three assists of her career high against Rutgers.

There were also many new faces on the floor for the Cougars that will look to make a significant contribution this weekend as well. A total of six Cougars made their collegiate debuts in last week's Penn State Classic. Redshirt freshmen Catherine Parker and Erica Lott earned starting positions while three other redshirt freshmen, Stacie Powell, Annie Kemp and Lindsey Evans saw playing time. True freshman Chelsea Goodman also competed for the Cougars. Lott was particularly impressive, starting on the rightside as she put down 13 kills against Penn State and was third on the team in blocks per game (0.92) and fourth in both kills (2.42) and digs per game (1.50).

With so much talent on the floor, Coach Lamb is optimistic both for this weekend and for the games to come.

"We know we're good but the important thing is that we've learned what we need to do to be better," Lamb said. "We just have to improve every match no matter who we play and refine things offensively."

The weekend schedule for the Cougars includes match-ups with Memphis Friday at 7:30, Oklahoma Saturday at 2:30 and Central Florida Saturday at 7:30. Volleyball fans can also catch the action of non-BYU matches all day Friday and Saturday in the Smith Fieldhouse. Live stats for all of the Mizuno Classic matches will be available via the internet by going to www.byucougars.com and clicking on women's volleyball. Friday evening's BYU-Memphis match will also be broadcast live on BYU-Radio.

Here's a look at the teams who will take the floor against the Cougars this weekend:

MEMPHIS

Memphis began its season hosting the annual Memphis Invitational. The Tigers went 4-0 over the two-day event, earning wins over Tennessee State, Alabama A&M, Delaware State and UIC. In a dominating weekend performance, the Tigers swept all four teams and have yet to lose a game this season.

Memphis will be in action Thursday night at Weber State before taking on Oklahoma and BYU on Friday night and UCF and UVSC Saturday in the Mizuno Classic presented by Provo Courtyard Marriott.

OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma is off to a 4-0 start entering the Mizuno Classic. The Sooners are 1-0 at home and 3-0 on the road after defeating Providence 3-0 in their season-opener at home and then earning wins over Louisiana-Monroe, Grambling State and Texas-Pan American. In those matches only Texas Pan-Am was able to pick up a game verses the Sooners, losing 3-2.

The Sooner will open the Classic against Memphis Friday at noon before taking on UVSC Saturday at 10 a.m. and then the Cougars at 2:30 p.m.

CENTRAL FLORIDA

Central Florida is 0-3 this year entering the Mizuno Classic after a tough opening weekend, dropping two matches to LSU 1-3, 0-3 and one match to Rice 0-3.

The Knights will begin the Mizuno Classic matched up against Utah Valley State College Firday night in Orem before competing against Memphis Saturday afternoon and BYU Saturday night in Provo.
