The No. 12 team in the country is in Logan tonight (7 p.m. MT) for the 59th all-time meeting between BYU (10-1) and No. 38 Utah State (7-3). This is BYU's first trip north to play the Aggies since 2011.

With what should be an electric, sold-out Club Estes crowd, the Aggies will look to spring an upset and nab their first win over the Cougars since 2010 (@BYU, 3-2) – falling in Provo last season, 0-3. For those unable to attend, the game will be broadcast via the Mountain West Network and at UtahStateAggies.com.

USU must put together a complete game to emerge victorious against the red-hot Cougar offense and stout defense. BYU is ninth nationally in blocks per set; 10th in opponent hitting percentage; and 39th in hitting percentage, entering this match having claimed big wins over No. 5 Pitt (3-1); Utah (3-1) and Utah Valley (3-0) while falling just once, at No. 13 Washington State (1-3). The Aggies enter having swept Northern Iowa and Utah Valley on the road in their last two games, bouncing back from a straight-sets loss at TCU.

Tonight's key matchup pits Utah State' leading blocker, Kennedi Boyd, against BYU's leader in kills, Erin Livingston. With a three-game winning streak on the line for both squads, expect plenty of drama tonight for the marquee bout in Club Estes.
