Thursday’s game is set for 4:30 p.m. ET with Friday’s contest at 2:00 p.m. ET and Saturday’s game scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET.

All three games of the West Virginia series will be broadcast live on ESPN+ and will also be available on BYUradio.org and on the BYU Radio app.

BYU is 9-8 on the year and 4-1 in its last five games over an eight-day stretch. Those five games include a 2-1 Big 12 series win over Cincinnati (5-2, 7-9, 10-9) in the opening week of conference play. The Cougars are also 2-0 versus in-state foe Utah Tech, defeating the Trailblazers 19-2 in Provo on March 10 and winning game two of the season series 18-5 in St. George on March 17. The bat cats scored 37 runs on 40 hits in two games with UTU.

BYU has rolled up 59 runs on 69 hits, including 15 home runs, 12 doubles and 56 RBI in the last five games. During that stretch, the Cougars hit .365 with a slugging percentage of .677 and an on base percentage of .440.

Pitching has also been solid with 15 different hurlers over 45 innings combining to hold opposing hitters to a .276 average while striking out 44.  Garrison Sumner, Austin Park, Ethan Zufall  and Nate Gray all picked up wins, while Ashton Johnson recorded a save.

BYU and West Virginia have met in baseball just six times, all coming during Big 12 Conference play. The Mountaineers currently lead the series 4-2.

BYU faced WVU in its first baseball series as a member of the Big 12, March 7-9, 2024. The Mountaineers took two of the three games (10-4, 4-1, 2-0), but BYU won game two of the series for its first-ever Big 12 baseball victory.  West Virginia traveled to Provo in 2025 with similar results as the Cougars won the first game (14-5,) but dropped the final two games of the series (20-6, 19-16).

West Virginia enters the weekend series with a 13-4 record, tied with BYU at 2-1 in conference play. The Mountaineers took two of three games from Baylor in Waco last weekend and have won five of their last six.

WVU won the Big 12 Conference regular season title in 2025. After falling to eventual champion Arizona in the semifinals at the 2025 Big 12 Baseball Championship, the Mountaineers went on to win the NCAA Clemson Regional before falling to No. 6 LSU in the NCAA Baton Rouge Super Regional.

WVU enters the weekend series hitting .316 as a team, good for fourth-best in the Big 12. BYU checks in at .295, good for seventh. On the hill, the Mountaineers currently lead the conference with a team ERA of 3.14 while the Cougars are 11th at 5.79.

Men’s volleyball returns home to face Concordia

No. 10 BYU men’s volleyball is back home at the Smith Fieldhouse this weekend for two MPSF this weekend against Concordia University Irvine.

After six straight matches on the road, BYU is back home this weekend for the first time since Feb. 21. That six-match road trip included some difficult tasks at No. 4 Hawai’i and hard-fought battles at No. 18 Stanford. The Cougars picked up two wins at UC Merced ad Jessup. While the Cougars are 6-4 on the road, they are 8-2 at home this season.

After starting of the season at No. 8 in the AVCA poll for the first five weeks of the season, the Cougars moved up a spot to No. 7 for a few weeks, but last week’s losses pushed the Cougars back to No. 10.

Senior outside hitter  Trent Moser  continues to lead the Cougars offensively this season with 3.45 kills per set on a .342 hitting percentage. Moser is coming off a career-high 22 kills in BYU’s five-set loss to Stanford last Saturday.

Senior setter  Tyler Herget  is averaging 10.29 assists per set. That mark is second-best in the MPSF and fifth-best in the nation.

The Cougars have been able to get contributions from a number of players this season, with 12 players having played 25 sets or more. That depth has come into play, helping fill in after injuries and to provide a number of viable offensive and defensive options.

BYU is currently 10th in the NCAA in blocks per set at 2.390.  Gavin Chambers  is the Cougars’ individual leader with 1.091 blocks per set and 72 total blocks this season. His blocks per set are 12th-best individually in the NCAA.

In his 11th season with the BYU men’s volleyball program, head coach  Shawn Olmstead  recently hit the 200-win plateau. He is now three wins away from matching Carl McGowan for the program’s most wins for a head coach. McGowan reached those victories in 336 matches. Olmstead is currently at 284 total matches.

The Eagles are 5-12 this season. They have a top-20 win over Princeton and two MPSF wins over Menlo two weeks ago. Before the Menlo wins, CUI had dropped nine consecutive matches, winning just three sets in that stretch, which included facing No. 2 Long Beach, No. 5 UC Irvine, No. 10 UC San Diego and No. 18 Stanford. UCI is led by the duo of Christian Galoppo and Logan Whitaker on the offensive side. Paul Schulteis leads the team in aces with 22. The Eagles as a team are third in the MPSF and 15th nationally in aces per set.

BYU is currently on a 13-match win streak against CUI, holding a 14-2 overall record. CUI’s last win was in Irvine in a five-set match in 2019. The first year the two teams faced each other was in 2017. They played twice last season in Irvine with BYU winning both meetings.

Both matches this weekend will stream live on Big Ten Plus. The matches will also be available to watch on-demand for free after 10 p.m. Mountain Time on BYUtv.org and the BYUtv App.
