In the second night of the their back-to-back match up against Pacific, the BYU men's volleyball team saw more of the same story as they matched their first night's sweep with another three-set win, 30-24, 30-28, 30-20.

With records at polar opposites, the third-ranked Cougars (14-1, 9-1 MPSF) defended not only their position in the standings, but fought to preserve a home record, having never lost to the Tigers (1-16, 1-13) in the Smith Fieldhouse.

The sweep left them 14-0 against Pacific in Provo and helped many of the Cougars get past the suprising loss to Stanford, suffered just a week ago.

Pacific enjoyed solid serves and kept the first two sets close with 13 lead changes and 36 ties, but just couldn't overcome the long list of Cougar stars.

"They are a good serving team," said BYU coach Shawn Patchell. "They put some pressure on us. I think that kept them in, and even gave us a little trouble in third set still, but we got a lot of good touches defensively and we got into a rhythm."

Senior Ivan Perez led BYU with 15 kills and nine digs, and monster .500 attack percentage.

"I just think we have a really good team. Its hard to key on just one guy, and it was just my night," Perez said. "The fact that they keyed on Jonathan Charette, opened the court for me. Its always good to win at home, and in three. We wanted to come here to win, and that's what we did."

Even though the Tigers focused on stopping Charette, they couldn't do it, finishing with 12.

After two close wins, the Cougars came back for the third set with a different mentality. Just like an actual Cougar who has grown tired of playing with his kill, BYU ignored the close first two sets to grab a sizeable lead and put the Tigers down quickly, with a 10-point margin.

"There's no small enemies, so we try to play as hard as we can always," Perez said. "Play like they are the No. 1 team in the nation."
