Ohio out blocked, out hit, out dug and out assisted No. 13 seed BYU on its home court in Provo, Utah during the 2015 NCAA Tournament first round matchup Friday.
That, however, wasn’t enough when it came to facing West Coast Conference Player of the Year Alexa Gray and her fellow upperclassman, WCC Defensive Player of the Year Amy Boswell, in a game where tournament experience mattered down the stretch.
“BYU did a great job winning the close ones,” Ohio coach Deane Webb said. “Give credit to their team, they were very poised late in sets.”
The Bobcats came close to knocking out the 2014 NCAA Tournament runner-up Cougars, but ultimately lost 3-1 in four sets: 25-19, 23-25, 17-25 and 24-26.
