See: http://byucougars.com/volleyball_m/releases/20010410_mvlb_rel.html

" It all comes down to this. No. 1 vs. No. 2. The MPSF regular-season title, homecourt advantage throughout the MPSF Tournament and one giant step closer to the NCAA Final Four in Long Beach, Calif., is all riding on the outcome of this weekend’s two-match series between top-ranked Hawai’i and second-ranked BYU. The two teams will square off Friday, April 13 and Saturday, April 14 at the Smith Fieldhouse, beginning at 7 p.m. (MDT)."

"In my opinion, this will be the most important weekend in BYU volleyball history," BYU head coach Carl McGown said. "There are so many things at stake this weekend, including a trip to the Final Four. As a collegiate volleyball player, it really isn’t possible to play for more important things in one match."
