Utes Fall in Four Sets on the Road
TUCSON, ARIZ. – Utah earned a split on the road this weekend after dropping its Sunday match against No. 25 Arizona in four sets in the McKale Center.
Â
Brianna Doehrmann had a season high 28 digs in the match.
Â
The first set was tight, but Arizona went on a 5-0 run to take a 17-14 lead. Utah responded and came back to take the lead 21-20. They eventually built a 23-21 lead with eyes on taking an early lead in the match. The Wildcats came back with a 3-0 run to earn a set point up 24-23. Utah held one set point forcing extra points, but couldn't hold the second as Arizona took the opening set 26-24.
Â
Doehrmann had 10 digs in the first set alone.
Â
After dropping the second set and falling down 2-0, Utah got a jump early in the third racing out to a 6-1 lead. The Utes held that lead the rest of the way pushing the match to a fourth set.
Â
Both teams had big runs early in the fourth set forcing each team to use a timeout, but it was a 5-0 run by Arizona to go up 14-9 that turned the tables. The Wildcats eventually took a lead as big as eight, but Utah tried to get back in the set. They used a 5-0 run to get back within three, but Arizona closed out the match 25-20.

Dani Drews closed out her good weekend with 16 kills hitting .218 and seven digs.
