PROVO — BYU women's volleyball coach Heather Olmstead didn't initially know why she was being congratulated via text message just minutes before the NCAA tournament selection show, but she soon learned it was due to some very good news coming her way. She soon learned the Cougars (27-1) were given the No. 4 seed on Sunday, which means they'll host tournament games until the Final Four stage, so long as they keep winning matches.

"We're just so thrilled. We feel we've done a good job with our non-conference and our conference (matches) and played really well," Olmstead said.
