"When we started the season we had a lot of very good players and 6, 5, 6, three exceptional players Ryan Millar, Steve Hinds, and Oswald Antonetti," said McGown. "We've lost two of those players, and we have to move people into positions they've never played before." Hinds, a 4 junior, was lost early in the season. Antonetti, a 1 sophomore, injured his finger this week and is expected to be out for the season. That leaves Millar, a 7 sophomore who was NCAA Freshman of the Year in 1996. Moving from middle to outside, Millar led BYU with 23 kills against Loyola-Chicag- o but hit only .107 for the match. Coming to the rescue for the sputtering BYU team was freshman setter Chris Pitzak, who replaced an erratic Hector Lebron at the end of led 14-- 6 Game 2. Loyola-Chicag- o and eventually tied the match at one game apiece with a 9 win. But Pitzak's razor sharp setting got the BYU offense back on track. Pitzak counted 46 assists in just over two games and raised BYU's hitting percentage from .130 in Game 2 to .400 in Game 3 and .386 in the deciding fourth game. "Chris Pitzak was exceptional tonight," said McGown. "He had some really good sets and gave our hitters great balls to swing at." Trailing 0 in Game 3, BYU's blocking allowed the Cougars to run off 12 points to take a 12-- 2 lead and eventually win the game 15-- 6 on a Millar blast. Defense and Pitzak's setting pushed BYU's lead in Game 4 to 1 and then 14-Finally. Ingo Lindemann tooled a hit off the block for the game winner at 15-Lindemann finished with 22 6-- 6-- 6-- 1), SAN ANTONIO.
