The Cougars are coming off a series win at Washington, winning two of three in Seattle. BYU allowed just two earned runs all weekend as the team won its seventh series in nine tries this year.

BYU's pitching staff continues to be one of the strongest in the country, boasting a 3.47 ERA, .240 opposing batting average, 2.97 walks allowed per game and 7.39 strikeouts per game. If the season ended today, all four marks would be the best in program history since 1969.

Senior Jordan Wood (4-1, 4.10), sophomore Easton Walker (5-0, 0.89) and sophomore Justin Sterner (7-3, 2.58) will again make up the rotation for BYU.

The Cougars are 10-5 in the WCC, tied by win percentage for first with Gonzaga, LMU and San Francisco, all at 12-6. The top four teams in the conference qualify to play in the WCC Tournament the last weekend in May. Pacific is in eighth at 8-10.
