Kenzie Koerber notches first-career double-double in the victory
SALT LAKE CITY – Utah sophomore Brianna Doehrmann tallied a career-high 30 digs to help lead the No. 12-ranked Utah Utes (17-3, 8-1) to a four-set win (25-20, 22-25, 25-21, 25-19) over No. 13-ranked UCLA (12-6, 5-4) Friday evening at the Huntsman Center.
Â
Utah took the first set 25-20 behind Kenzie Koerber's set-leading five kills and 12 digs from Doehrmann. The Utes opened the set with an 8-3 run, which forced UCLA to call timeout, and the Bruins responded winning 12 of the next 21 points to get within two points. That led to a Utah timeout and UCLA would win the next point out of the break, but Utah countered with an 8-4 run to end the frame.
Â
UCLA outhit the Utes .367 to .250 on the way to taking the second set, 25-22. Utah opened the frame winning five of the first six points and led throughout the majority of frame until the Bruins tied the set at 17-all. After trading the next few points, UCLA would close out the set with a 5-1 run to take the frame by three points.
Â
The third set would go back-and-forth between the two teams until finally the Utes rattled off a 4-1 run to take a 15-13 lead into the media timeout. UCLA countered with back-to-back points to notch things up 15-all, but the Utes came back to win five of the next seven points to take a 20-17 lead. UCLA would get back within two points, down 22-20, but back-to-back kills from Koerber pushed Utah's lead to 24-20 and forced the Bruins to call timeout. UCLA won the next point, but Carly Trueman connected on her sixth kill of the match to give the home the a 25-21 win and a 2-1 advantage in the match.
Â
Adora Anae tallied six of her 17 kills in the fourth set and Utah cruised to a 25-19 win to take the match. The Utes hit just .080 as a team in the frame, but limited the Bruins to hitting at a negative clip of -.020. The Utes opened the frame with four straight points and later followed with a 5-1 run to push its lead to 10-3, forcing UCLA to call timeout. After going up 16-9, the Utes yielded four straight points to the Bruins, but Anae would get the home team back into it with a block and back-to-back kills. Berkeley Oblad would later finish off the Bruins with a kill, giving Utah the set, 25-19, and the match 3-1.
Â
The Utes are back in action at the Huntsman Center on Sunday, hosting No. 19-ranked USC. First serve is set for 1 p.m. MT.
