Durham, N.H. - The University of Utah women's volleyball team defeated its host New Hampshire in three games, 15-12, 15-4, 15-4, to win the New Hampshire Tournament held in Durham, N. H., on Sat., Sept. 2. The Utes improve to 3-0 overall, 0-0 in the MWC. UNH drops to 1-2 overall, 0-0 in the America East Conference.
For the Utes, junior McKelle Stilson led the team with 14 kills for a .545 hitting percentage and four total blocks. Katrena Ellett and Lenka Urboanova racked up nine kills each, with Ellett leading the Utes with eight digs. Freshman Kim Turner added eight kills and senior setter Lucie Turkova posted 35 assists. All 12 Utes saw time in the match, and as a team Utah posted an impressive .394 hitting percentage.
Three Utah players were named to the 2000 New Hampshire All-Tournament Team. They were: Lucie Turkova, Jen Snow-Richards and tournament MVP, Katrena Ellett.
Jillian Ross led the Wildcats with nine kills and teammate Katie Jentes added six kills. Stacy Barnett posted 20 assists and teammate Alyson Coler led the team with 10 digs. UMass managed a .190 hitting percentage as a team in the match.
"I felt we've been serving really well and that took them out of their game," said Launiere. "We were able to take away some of their strengths from our serving and we had a lot of things click for us. I think the name of the game is serving and passing, and we did that very well tonight. It allowed us to run our offense and take control of the game."
UP NEXT: The Utes open their home schedule Tues., Sept. 5, against Stanford University at 7:00 p.m (MST) at Crimson Court.
All-Tournament Team: Katrena Ellett (MVP) (Utah), Lucie Turkova (Utah), Jen Snow-Richards (Utah), Jen Walker (UNH), Rebecca Hasson (UMass), Lymarie Llovet (UMass).
