BYU women's volleyball team sweeps Texas to win region, advance to national semifinals

PROVO — The Cougars are headed back to the NCAA women's volleyball national semifinals — and this time it came at Texas' expense.

A year after being knocked out by Texas in the Round of 16, BYU (31-1) swept the Longhorns in front of a soldout Smith Fieldhouse on Saturday night (25-23, 25-23 and 25-21) in the regional finals.

final point was a block error by Texas on an RJP kill attempt. Match was a lot more competitive than a straight set win would indicate, but Cougars just closed out strong. RJP really stepped up big late in sets 2 and 3
