BYU Volleyball is good. Really good.
But that’s no secret to BYU fans. After all, the women’s team is coming off a spectacular 2018 season which ended in the Final Four to eventual champion Stanford. They spent 11 straight weeks as the top-ranked team in the nation and were the only team to beat eventual champion Stanford in their first meeting. Seven different players earned eight different AVCA honors (Heather Gneiting won Freshman of the Year and was named Third Team All-American).
Now the men’s season is just under a week away, and expectations are high.
Shawn Olmstead’s Cougars are ranked fifth in AVCA’s Preseason Poll and are coming off a third straight Final Four appearance, as well as a MPSF Title in both the regular season and the conference tournament.
