The BYU women's volleyball team came out on top against the Gonzaga Bulldogs 3-0.
The final scores of all three sets were 25-21, 25-16 and 25-16 respectively. This game had special meaning as the Cougar fans were asked to wear pink in support of breast cancer awareness. The crowd, full of 2,142 fans, was a roaring sea of pink and blue.
'Shout out to the ROC,' head coach Heather Olmstead said. 'I appreciate people just coming out and supporting the awareness for breast cancer. Everyone probably at some point has had someone effected by breast cancer, so it's just nice that we can think of those people who are fighting and will fight in the future.'
