PROVO, UT. -- California Baptist University went into BYU looking to break up history, but there is a reason why the seventh-ranked Cougars had a program-best 31-match winning streak going into Saturday's Mountain Pacific Sports Federation match.
Â
After taking the first set off BYU Friday, CBU looked to bounce back from a four-set loss with a victory Saturday. The Lancers were held back by the eighth top-11 ranked team they have seen this season in a 25-18, 25-20, 25-20 loss. They move to 3-9, 1-8 in the MPSF this season, while the Cougars improve to 8-2, 7-1.
Â
Enrique de Diego Garcia led CBU's offense with 10 kills and no errors on 21 attempts – a personal-career high. The freshman middle blocker had a .476 attack percentage and two blocks on the night.
Â
Rohit Paul had nine kills and an ace for CBU, while Zachary Melcher ended up with 30 assists, five digs and two blocks.
Â
The Lancers return home to face sixth-ranked Hawaii on Wednesday and Friday, with both matches set for a 7 p.m. start in the Van Dyne Gym.Â
