TO DO
• Find a way to beat archrival and league champion Utah (the Utes swept the Cougars this season).
• Play as well in November as September (BYU upset No. 4 Stanford in September but got knocked out of the first round of the MWC tournament in November).
GOING• Three-time all-MWC middle blocker Lindsy Hartsock won't be easy to replace.
• Four-year starter Kim Wilson Sorensen provided the Cougars with depth and experience.
COMING BACK
• Three all-MWC players — outside hitters Chelsea Goodman and Erica Lott and middle blocker Rachel Dyer.
• Setter Amy Schlauder, who missed much of the year with a broken finger, will look to stay healthy next season.
• Outside hitter Bryn Porter and freshmen middle blockers Ashton Hansen and Marisa Vandersteen look to make a bigger impact in 2007.

Kim Wilson Sorensen, Provo (Provo HS): The 6-0 senior outside hitter posted double-digit kills in 12 matches, including 17 against UC Santa Barbara in the first round of the NCAA tournament to help BYU come back from an 0-2 deficit.
