2014 BYU Women's Volleyball

[Jeff Lebowski]

I suppose we might need a forum for non-football/bball sports. Going to put it here.

Need to give a shout-out for the women's volleyball team. They have made it all the way to the elite eight.

Next game is tonight vs. Nebraska.

Jennifer Hamson is the star. Same woman who led the basketball team to the Sweet Sixteen this year. She has had an unbelievable run: All-American in two sports. Has any other BYU athlete ever done that?

I was gonna say Danny Ainge, but looking him up, I don't think he was all-American in baseball, which is weird because he played in the Majors.

Hamson is truly amazing. She deserves and has earned all the success she has.

Ainge never played baseball at BYU. He was drafted by the Jays out of high school, and actually made the majors while he was still in college (one of the better summer job options--wish I'd pursued that). As I recall, in the same year that he led BYU to the Elite 8, he played infield (SS or 3B, I can't remember) while a teammate was throwing a perfecto. I suspect there are few players who have done both in the same year, or lifetime.

Yeah, I'm just old enough to remember him playing basketball, but I didn't realize he went pro so early in his baseball career. Guess you miss out on some of the "honors" when you skip ahead like that.

BYU got screwed by not getting seeded. Glad they are making this run -- will definitely watch tonight at 9:30.

No doubt. The volleyball tournament seeding is always jacked up. Happens in the men's tournament too. Last year it was a joke that Loyola didn't have any MPSF teams in its side of the bracket.

Byu had an untimely loss or two toward the end of its season.

[SCcoug]

BYU wins the first set.

[Dwight Schr-ute]

Is this really live? Why the late match.

[SCcoug]

And BYU wins the second set.

[PaloAltoCougar]

They're relentless with the blocks and surprisingly fun to watch.

[CardiacCoug]

Alexa Gray is awesome.

[Jeff Lebowski]

2-0. Just need one more.
