In an intense matchup at the Jenny Craig Pavilion, the BYU Cougars displayed a valiant effort but ultimately fell short against the San Diego Toreros. The game was characterized by fluctuating momentum and fierce competition from both sides. The Cougars started strong, outscoring the Toreros in the first quarter with 13 points to 11. However, they struggled in subsequent quarters, scoring only eight points in the second and hitting a low of four points in the third.
Despite trailing behind after three quarters, BYU staged an impressive comeback attempt in the fourth quarter by racking up 24 points — their highest-scoring quarter of the game. This surge brought them within striking distance of victory but was not enough to secure a win over San Diego.
