The field events started the competition, where the Mountain Hawks had a few top performances. Senior Grace Aggen was Lehigh’s top performing thrower, where she led Lehigh in both events. Her best performance was in the shot put, where she threw 13.11 meters to place fifth. She also threw 13.38 meters in the weight throw, placing 15th. The Mountain Hawks had two other top five field finishes. The first was in the high jump, where sophomore Anna Troutman jumped 1.67 meters to earn fifth place. Senior Laura Reigle leaped 3.77 meters in the pole vault to secure a three-way tie for third. Senior Grace Nation may not have had the highest placing day for the jumpers as she finished seventh in the long jump, however she had the best individual jumping performance of the day. Her 5.56-meter jump was not just a personal best, but moved her up to seventh place on Lehigh’s all-time indoor performance list.

Senior Grace Kennedy and sophomore Jade Sanders had excellent days in the sprinting events earning top finishes. Their best performances were in the 400 meter where they both placed top ten and posted top Division I times. Kennedy led the way, placing second and running 56.53. That mark was not just the 42nd fastest time run in Division I this year, but also the 55th best time in the entire NCAA. Sanders ran 57.60, which landed her in ninth place and was the 89th fastest Division I time this year. In the 200 meter, Kennedy led the way once again with a 25.60-second run, earning her ninth place. Sanders clocked in at 25.85, which was good for 12th place and was an indoor personal best. Close behind them was first-year Harper Glennon, who ran a collegiate best time of 25.99 to place 14th. Glennon was also Lehigh’s top finisher in the 60 meters, where she placed 16th (7.87).

The 800 meters also featured personal best performances. Sophomore Lauren Bower ran an indoor personal best time of 2:14.02. This performance was the 48th best time in the NCAA, and placed her at seventh in the meet. Senior Amber Barrios was just behind in ninth place. She finished in 2:16.24, which earned her the 84th best time in the NCAA this year.

Lehigh had two other top ten placements in the competition. First was first-year Lyssi Penn in the 60 meter hurdles, who’s 9.27-second run earned her ninth. Senior Dakota Russell also placed ninth in her event, she ran 10:21.79 over 3000 meters.

The Mountain Hawks also placed well in the 4×400-meter relay. The team of Barrios, Bower, first year Kayleigh Jamieson, and senior Corinn Brewer placed sixth by running 3:59.55.

Lehigh next competes next week, when the Mountain Hawks will split their squad. Some of the team will head back to Philadelphia to compete at the Quaker Invitational, while the others stay on campus to compete at the Moravian Blue and Grey Invite at Rauch Fieldhouse.

PROVO — Trent Moser said it best with a smile and a nod.

After BYU’s 6-foot-8 senior transfer from Grand Canyon opened the season with 14 kills in a 3-0 win over Saint Francis in front of 3,343 fans at the Smith Fieldhouse, Moser smirked at the simple question: Good to be home?

“It’s amazing,” Moser said after hitting .333 with a dig, two assists and four blocks. “Playing here and playing at GCU was totally different. It was good, but we got around 1,000 people per game; it was awesome. But when I get here to warm up, there are already 1,000 people in the stands.

“It feels so good having that much support.”

Moser had seven kills on his first nine swings, hitting .667 to lead the Cougars to a 25-22 win over the Red Flash (0-1) in the opening set.

The outside hitter had the first kill of the opening set, and finished with 14 kills and four blocks as the No. 8-ranked Cougars opened the 2026 season with a 25-22, 25-20, 25-18 win over NEC contenders Friday night.

After which, Moser helped gather his teammates — returners, freshmen and transfers alike — and the group threw a Super Y (the kind you probably remember Chase Roberts introduced with the football team) and cheered with the crowd.

For Moser, who started his career at BYU, that moment alone was a unique one.

The Gilbert, Arizona native played two seasons in Provo, where he earned All-MPSF freshman team honors in 2023 and started nine matches in 2024.

But Moser transferred to GCU after that season, and went on to a standout career with the Lopes, leading the team in kills and earning All-America honorable mention honors by the American Volleyball Coaches Association.

Then early in the offseason, he got a message from the coaching staff: a mandatory team meeting in the locker room, where GCU officials told the players they were cutting the program.

Such a moment is never easy. But several close friends from Provo made it a little easier for Moser.

“GCU posted it on Instagram at the same time they told us,” he recalled. “In that meeting, I was sitting down and Jackson Fife (BYU libero) called me, as well as some other friends to see what was happening.

“Jackson said, ‘Dude, you should come back’. And I said, if Shawn wants me back, I’m cool with it.”

Turns out, BYU coach Shawn Olmstead was “very cool with it.” Moser was a standout under Olmstead before, was better after a year in the Valley of the Sun, and wanted to return to the school where his sister Tristyn also played volleyball in 2016-17.

“I think it’s such a cool story,” Olmstead said. “A kid like that, who has that kind of experience, goes to another school and becomes an All-American. Then circumstances fall the way they did, and credit to him — I think it’s a credit to the guys and all the coaching staff.”

Olmstead sent Moser a text when he found out the program was cut, but not inviting him back to BYU or trying to schedule a campus visit. He had a simple message: If you need anything, let me know if I can help you.

“I found out that day the guys were already talking to him,” Olmstead added. “He was talking to Jackson, and Jackson called us while we were in a staff meeting … and said, I’m talking to Trent; what do you think?

“We said, you know the answer to that. And right when he hung up, that’s when I texted Trent. From there, we immediately went back and forth.”

Moser also brought along some friends, including sophomore setter Kyle Zediker and 6-foot-5 outside hitter Connor Oldani, who had six kills and 10 digs Friday night. There was also Max Philippe, a 6-foot-6 freshman from Houston who initially committed to GCU but reversed course when the program was cut and signed with BYU.

Pair them with returning players like senior setter Tyler Herget, who had 35 assists and eight digs Friday night, and BYU lived up to the billing of a top-10 team nationally on opening night.

“I had great things to say about those guys; I love those dudes,” Moser said. “They were little freshmen last year at GCU, and it was fun leading them. So when Shawn asked me about them, I only had great things to say about those guys: great workers, want to win, want to compete every day.”

BYU continues nonconference play Saturday against Saint Francis (7 p.m. MST, Big Ten+), before hosting UC San Diego next week as part of six-straight home matches to open the season.
