Coach's Minute | No. 7 BYU Comes to the Hilltop - University of San Francisco Athletics

AT A GLANCE
SAN FRANCISCO - USF (3-11, 0-1) heads into Saturday's mid-day match up with No. 7 BYU (12-1, 1-0) looking to bounce back from Thursday's evening loss. On top of trying to tally a "W" in the win column, the Dons are also seeking growth. The Cougars were ranked to finish first in the WCC pre-season poll with nine first place votes. Their roster includes two sophomores that were named to the all-WWC preseason team - Mary Lake (libero) and McKenna Miller (outside hitter).
