BYUH had handled Western New Mexico with relative ease on Monday night, winning in three games.

BYUH receivied three first-place votes in the latest AVCA Division II Coaches Top 25 Poll, released yesterday -- but will most likely drop after losing to Western New Mexico.

MSUB needed four match points in the final game to secure the victory.
