He hasn't returned into the game since. He is still on the bench. They didn't take him into the training room.

Do you have any idea what it was? Ankle? Knee? And how does Ivan look?

Ivan made a few errors in the back row early but had three kills on three swings. He was his same explosive self.
Cala walked off. I think it was an ankle but don't quote me.
BYU wins the third game 30-36

I'm guessing 30-26, sure sounds like CSUN made a run at it. Tough way to end the season. Thanks for the blow by blow postings. Sure made it fun to read.

Good luck to BYU in the rest of the playoffs. Nice win tonight. Thanks CSUN for another good season. I really enjoyed following you guys again this year. To Dan and James - You two have been a lot of fun to watch over the years. It has been great watching you both play. I will miss you both next year. Good luck with your future endeavors. I am sure you will be successful in everything you do in the future.

From the BYU website:
BYU Gets First Postseason Win Since 2004
PROVO, Utah (April 21, 2007)--After taking an early exit from the postseason the past two season, No. 2 BYU coasted to a 30-26, 30-28, 30-26 sweep over No. 7 Cal-State Northridge in the MPSF quarterfinals.
The Cougars improve to 23-5 on the season with the victory while the Matadors finish their season with an 18-15 record.
"The guys were picking each other up tonight," co-head coach Ryan Millar said. "They showed a lot of heart tonight."
Yosleyder Cala led the way for BYU, knocking down 16 kills while hitting .464 (16-3-28). Robby Stowell added 14 kills while hitting at a .360 clip. The Cougars hit .370 as a team while CSUN hit .221. Eric Vance and Dan Rhodes led the Matadors with 15 kills apiece.
BYU got out to a quick start in the first set, jumping out to a 6-1 lead courtesy of a pair of Cougar service aces and early attack errors by the Matadors. CSUN responded, going on a 5-1 capped by an ace by Sean Pedersen to cut the Cougars lead to 10-8. BYU responded with a 5-1 run of its own as the Cougars pulled ahead. Northridge never led in the first set as BYU hit .333 while the Matadors swung at a .189 clip. Cala led the Cougars with eight kills in the opening game while Eric Vance had six for CSUN.
After jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the second set, BYU held on to the lead throughout as the two teams traded side outs. With the Cougars holding to a 16-13 lead, Northridge went on a 6-1 run to take its first lead of the match at 17-16. The Matadors extended their lead to three at 25-22 on a BYU blocking error. The Cougars responded with a 4-1 run capped by a Yamil Perez ace to tie the set at 26. After tying the game, BYU added two points on a Northridge hitting error and a second Perez ace. The Cougars were then able to trade side outs to hold on to the set with a Cala kill capping the game.
In the third set BYU got off to another quick start, jumping to an 11-5 lead. The Matadors fought back, going on a 9-4 run to cut the Cougars' lead to one and forcing a BYU timeout.
"We needed a timeout to regroup," co-head coach Shawn Patchell said. "We needed to get the energy back. The team really came together."
BYU came back with a 6-1 run to build a comfortable 21-15 advantage. The six-point advantage was won that the Cougars wouldn't relinquish. BYU held on to finish the match after CSUN made a small run.
The Cougars will now travel to Malibu, Calif. next Thursday to play in the semifinals against either third-seeded UC Irvine or sixth-seeded Hawaii. The match will start upon conclusion of the first semifinal match at approximately 8 p.m. (PDT)
