BYU ultimately focused on retaining and recruiting players who could play off Dybantsa in a dynamic offense -- clear the lane and create opportunities for the Cougars star but also take shots when needed -- and ended up with a balanced mix of stars and role players. Now the Cougars are developing the chemistry they'll need to make another deep NCAA tournament run a year after a trip to the Sweet 16.

There's already a surprise team emerging in girls' volleyball. Harvard-Westlake, under first-year coach Morgan Wijay, is 7-0 and won its division of the Lakewood tournament last week. Wijay left Bishop Alemany to take over a Wolverines program that went 13-15 last season and 2-8 in league. The Wolverines have a showdown match with 3-0 Marymount on Thursday at Marymount. Maya Stillwell, a 6-foot-4 senior middle blocker who has committed to Northwestern, gives Harvard-Westlake a force in the middle.
