Jaren Wilkey/BYU, BYU
PROVO — Pepperdine came oh-so-close to doing something only four teams have accomplished against the BYU women’s volleyball team this season.
The Waves almost won.
No, not a "win" win. Including the Cougars’ 3-0 victory Saturday, an opponent still hasn’t managed to do that in 19 matches against BYU. High-ranked Stanford is the only team that’s given the nation’s No. 1 squad a real scare, and that was almost two months ago.
Rather, the Waves nearly won a set against the Cougars, something that’s nearly as rare as a nonexistent BYU loss.
