The sweep left them 14-against Pacific in Provo and helped many of the Cougars get past the suprising loss to Stanford, suffered just a week ago. Pacific enjoyed solid serves and kept the first two sets close with 13 lead changes and 36 ties, but just couldn't overcome the long list of Cougar stars. They are a good serving team," said BYU coach Shawn Patchen. "They put some pressure on us. I think that kept them in, and even gave us a little trouble in third set still, but we got a lot of good touches defensively and we got into a rhythm."
