(Provo, UT) – San Francisco volleyball battled back from a 2-0 deficit, but could not come all the way back against BYU, dropping a 25-23, 25-14, 25-19, 25-22 West Coast Conference decision Saturday night at Smith Fieldhouse.

After struggling at the service line of late, the Green and Gold were much improved, committing just three errors on serves.
Junior outside hitter Jocelyn Levig enjoyed a strong match for the Dons, with a team-high 17 kills on .238 hitting to go along with eight digs and two service aces. Freshman opposite hitter Vendula Strakova added 14 kills on .333 attacking with three aces and a block. Sophomore middle blocker Malina Terrell recorded 11 kills for the Dons, who dropped their sixth straight match – all of them in four sets.
Freshman libero Rebecca Kopilovitch tallied a match-high 21 digs. Freshman middle blocker Valentina Zaloznik added eight kills with three blocks (one solo) for San Francisco.
