No. 14 BYU volleyball sweeps Utah in rivalry match
October 16, 2026 at 3:38 AM MT · via KSL · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting
The 14th-ranked BYU volleyball team swept Utah in three sets Thursday night at the Huntsman Center in the first of two rivalry meetings this season. The Cougars dominated the match despite playing in a hostile road environment.
BYU transfer KJ Burgess, who played for Utah last season, was a key contributor against her former team. The Utes, rebuilding under new leadership, could not keep pace with the ranked Cougars.
The teams will meet again later this season. BYU continues to position itself for NCAA tournament consideration with the Big 12 schedule underway.
