Durham, N.H. - The University of Utah women's volleyball team defeated the UMass Minutewomen in three games, 15-8, 15-10, 15-2, at the New Hampshire Tournament on Sat., Sept. 2. The Utes improve to 2-0 overall, 0-0 in the MWC. UMass drops to 1-1 overall, 0-0 in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
For the Utes, senior Jen Snow-Richards led the team with 13 kills for a career-high .722 hitting percentage and six digs. Freshman middle blocker Kim Turner racked up 11 kills and Katrena Ellett totaled 10 kills and led the Utes with 11 digs. McKelle Stilson added nine kills and three blocks. Senior setter Lucie Turkova had five kills for a .625 hitting percentage and 49 assists. All 12 Utes saw time in the match, and as a team Utah posted an impressive .339 hitting percentage.
Jennifer Davis led the Minutewomen with nine kills and teammate Lymarie Llovet added seven kills. Jennifer Drennan posted 21 assists and teammate Rebecca Hasson led the team with 10 digs. UMass managed a .131 hitting percentage as a team in the match.
"It has been a really good team effort in a three game match where we had three players score double-figures in kills,," said Launiere. "What I liked about the match was that we started off pretty rattled and it looked like the second match of the season, but once again we got a lot better as the match went on. We started figuring them out and exploiting their weaknesses and at the same time taking their strengths away and that allowed us to play a more controlled match."
UP NEXT: Utah takes on its host, UNH at 7:00 p.m. (EST) on Sat. Sept. 2. The Utes open their home schedule Tues., Sept. 5, against Stanford University at 7:00 p.m (MST) at Crimson Court.
