PROVO — Turns out Gabi Garcia Fernandez isn't the only true freshman providing great play for the No. 2-ranked BYU men's volleyball team.
The Cougars are set to finish out their regular season home schedule this weekend with matches versus No. 14 Concordia Irvine and No. 13 Grand Canyon on Thursday and Saturday nights, respectively. They'll do so with a team mix of several savvy veterans mixed with some impressive freshmen, which includes Fernandez from the opposite hitter position and Felipe de Brito Ferreira at middle blocker.
The 6-foot-7 Fernandez has been a standout since the first match of the season, while an unfortunate injury to senior veteran Price Jarman paved the way for big contributions from the 6-9 Ferreira.
