Las Vegas, Nev. - The University of Utah women's volleyball team defeated the UNLV Rebels in four games, 8-15, 15-5, 15-12, 15-11 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nev., on Fri., Oct. 20. Utah improves to 16-3 overall, 7-1 in the MWC. UNLV drops to 2-16 on the season, 2-7 in Mountain West Conference play.
Freshman Kim Turner led Utah with 16 kills for a .206 hitting percentage and eight total blocks. McKelle Stilson and Lenka Urbanova racked up 15 kills each, with Urbanova tying a career-high 17 digs. Katrena Ellett totaled 12 kills and nine digs, while senior Jen Snow-Richards had seven kills and 12 digs. Senior Lucie Turkova posted 60 assists and 10 digs. As a team Utah hit for .200 and racked up 13 total team blocks.

"It was a typical conference road match," said Head Coach Beth Launiere. "It wasn't an easy environment to play in and our number one passer went down. This match was a total team effort and we found a way to win, really against all odds. They've got a lot of talent and this is a tough place to play. We came prepared and we got into a situation we needed to respond to, and we did."
