In what was a back-and-forth match from the very beginning, No. 11 seeded Arizona volleyball saw its season come to an end in a four-set heartbreaker (25-22, 20-25, 23-25, 23-25).
The Wildcats (25-9) won the first set 25-22 but lost the second set 20-25. In the second set, Arizona struggled at the end, falling behind as many as six points. The first set ended controversially as BYU head coach Shawn Olmstead earned a yellow card.
The third set was much of the same as both teams fought for the lead as BYU took it 25-23. In the fourth set, the Wildcats took it all the way to the wire but ended up losing it in the final moments.
