SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah volleyball team extended its winning streak to four with a 3-1 (27-30, 30-27, 30-16, 30-21) win over UNLV tonight to improve to 11-6 overall and 5-1 in Mountain West Conference play. UNLV falls to 8-9 overall, 2-4 in the MWC. Utah hit for .240 on the match and held the Rebels to just .061. The Utes also out-blocked UNLV 17-15.5.
"We were pretty average through the first two games, but in the third and fourth we picked it up and played better," Head Coach Beth Launiere said.
Senior All-America candidate Kim Turner finished with a triple-double - 20 kills, 13 digs and 10 blocks - to lead Utah. She hit for .467 on the night. "Kim has the ability to hit in a lot of different sets," Launiere said. "She is a very talented player and came into the match very focused."
Sophomore Shelly Sommerfeldt and junior Lyndsey Henderson added 15 and 12 kills, respectively. Henderson also had five blocks.
Junior setter Tracy Neumeier dished out a career-high 50 assists to go along with six digs and three blocks. Senior libero Jackie Morrill also had a big night, tying a career high with 21 digs.
UP NEXT:
The Utes host San Diego State at 7 p.m. tomorrow, Oct. 18. "This is a big match tomorrow," Launiere said. "We just have to take it one game at a time. Every conference match is tough, so we can't focus on our overall record. We just want to keep winning."
