BYU roundup: Cory Calvert to play a season before serving mission

Published: Monday, April 23 2012 5:24 p.m. MDT

Summary

BYU sports news from the Web for Monday.

BYU announced Friday that signee Cory Calvert will play this season before serving an LDS Church mission. Calvert, a 6-foot-3 guard who was the 5A MVP in Colorado, had previously planned to serve a mission before enrolling.

Over the weekend, BYU's No. 2 ranked lacrosse team defeated No. 3 Westminster, while the Cougar rugby team defeated Colorado, 99-12, on senior day.

While the BYU-Utah football series could end after this year, which programs could be rivals for the Cougars?
