LOS ANGELES — The No. 2-seeded BYU men's volleyball team fell heartbreakingly short yet again, dropping a four-set thriller to No. 3 UCLA in the semifinal round of the NCAA championships on Thursday.

It was the fourth time the two teams matched up this year, with each team winning two matches. But the Bruins, playing at home in Pauley Pavilion, won the big one, with the Cougars left to gather themselves after another championship run came up just short.

The teams battled tightly throughout until the Bruins took command in the fourth and final set.
