The Cougars (16-4), who knocked archrival Utah out of the MCLA in the quarterfinals, have a quality balance of returners and newcomers to make for a promising spring.

BYU snagged three of the four first-place votes.

Colorado (11-5) grabbed the other first-place vote, helping them sit in the second chair. The Buffaloes qualified for nationals for the 10th straight season in 2019.

Colorado State (4-10) and Utah Valley (3-11) tied for third in the four-team poll.
