The thud of the ball on the hardwood caused an eruption of madness by the sold-out crowd at the Smith Fieldhouse as Claire Little-Chambers' ace meant another Holy War victory for the Cougars Wednesday night.
BYU won 3-2, with a crucial win in the fifth set for the BYU women's volleyball team, with the NCAA tournament just around the corner.
BYU is looking to get into the top 16 teams before the bracket selection. This will mean they will get the opportunity to host a tournament game at home in Provo.
Being the last official home match of the season, the three seniors on BYU's roster were honored with their families before the game.
Hannah Billeter, Elena Wallace, and Macy Marshall were all celebrated and presented with a framed picture to serve as a memento for their time spent with the Cougars.

Seniors might have been the focus before the game but BYU's freshman star Suli Davis stole the spotlight when the action got going.
Davis ended the night with 26 kills and two aces to push BYU to this gritty end of season win.
Her total of 507 kills on the season means that she is now the record-holder at BYU for single-season kill total as a freshman.
"Its a huge honor," Davis said "I couldn't have done it without my teammates and this awesome fanbase."
Davis and her teammates had to continue to fight the whole time to try and stay in the game.
BYU and Utah traded sets the whole night with the Cougars winning sets one and three and the Utes winning the second and fourth set.
The Cougars, in the end, seemed to have just a little bit more to play for with Davis saying after the game they were so happy "that we were able to get the win for our seniors."
The victory extends BYU's win streak to three in a row for a team that is finding its momentum at the perfect time of the year.
BYU will travel to No. 23 Colorado on Saturday for its last regular-season game.
This matchup will be crucial in determining both these teams' seeds for the upcoming NCAA tournament.
