Cougar volleyball team blanks IPFW

LONG BEACH, Calif. — BYU's ninth-ranked men's volleyball team remained perfect on the weekend with a 3-0 sweep of IPFW on Saturday.

Kevin Sagers knocked down a match-leading 11 kills, marking consecutive double-digit kill nights for the Cougars' sophomore outside hitter. Redshirt freshman Futi Tavana added eight kills and a team-high seven blocks in the victory.

The Cougar defense held the Mastodons to a -0.01 attack percentage for the match, the lowest by a BYU opponent this season.

The Cougars return to Provo for a three-week home stay. First up will be MPSF foe Long Beach State for a pair of matches next weekend. Both Friday's and Saturday's matches will be played in the Smith Fieldhouse beginning at 7 p.m.
