No. 17 Volleyball Closes Regular Season With Sweep Over Colorado
11/30/2019 1:49 PM | Volleyball
Team Holds Colorado to .051 with 11.0 Blocks
BOULDER – The No. 17 Utah volleyball team closed out the regular season with a sweep over Colorado on the road in their final game of the regular season.
Â
Dani Drews finished the match with 21 kills hitting .302 to lead the Utes on offense. It was a very efficient day for Utah on offense as they hit .292 with 49 kills.
Â
With the win, Utah finishes with a 22-9 record overall and 14-6 record in the Pac-12. That is the most wins in the Pac-12 since joining the conference, and they also finished in third place, which is the highest finish since joining in 2011.
Â
In the first things were tight until the Utes went on an 8-1 run to go up 19-12. The Buffalos made a small run, but Utah closed things out 25-20 to take the lead.
Â
Colorado held a lead in the second set, but once Utah settled in, they started to roll. This time it was an 8-2 run that gave the Utes the lead at 21-17. Utah didn't slow down and continued to push only losing one more point the rest of the way to take a 2-0 lead. After trailing 12-14, the Utes closed the set on a decisive 13-4 run.
Â
With a chance for their second sweep in a row, Utah closed things out strong. They built a lead as big as six early and held that the rest of the way to secure the sweep in the regular-season finale.
Â
Saige Ka'aha'aina-Torres had 35 assists and 13 digs.
Â
The team had 11.0 blocks on the day and held Colorado to just a .051 hitting percentage. Berkeley Oblad and Kenzie Koerber both led the way with 5.0 blocks.
Â
With the start today, Oblad became the program leader in matches played and sets played in Utah history.
Â
With their regular season over, Utah will now wait until Sunday, December 1 to figure out who they will be playing in the NCAA Tournament. The NCAA Selection Show begins at 6:30 p.m. MT. Utah has a chance to host the first and second round of the NCAA Tournament in the Huntsman Center.
