Gibadlo has a career-high night with 20 kills
BOULDER, Colo. – The 23rd-ranked Utah Volleyball team traveled to Colorado, taking down the Buffaloes, 3-1 (25-21, 23-25, 25-17, 25-17). The Utes have now defeated the Buffs in three consecutive matches, playing four or more sets in each of the past five meetings.
Â
Utah found themselves trailing the Buffs early, as Colorado doubled up the Utes at the midway point, 12-6. Emrie Satuala provided a kill and a big defensive stop to help spark some momentum, helping Utah climb back to within four, trailing 12-8. Sending Rianne Vos back to the service line, Utah put together a six-point run, bringing the set back to even at 16-16. The Utes found their first lead at 18-17, getting some separation from the Buffs at 20-18, coming off a Lauren Jardine kill and an Allie Olsen ace. Utah continued on to secure the first set with a 25-21 win.
Â
The two sides were deadlocked at 9-9 through the early stages of the second set. Colorado put together a four-point rally and adding two more scores extending its lead to 15-11. Utah began to chip away at the Colorado advantage, posting a pair of three-point runs, taking their first lead of the set with a 20-19 advantage. Heading down the stretch, the two sides traded points as the score was tied 20-20 and 21-21, before the Buffs took the set, 25-23.
Â
Utah bounced back in the third set, jumping out to an 8-2 lead through the first 10 points. Utah continued to double the Buffs score, leading Colorado 12-6. The Utes maintained the momentum not allowing Colorado to score more than two consecutive points, leading by as many as eight at, 24-16 and holding on to secure the set, 25-17 third set win.
Â
The Utes carried the momentum from the third into the fourth set, jumping out to a 5-0 lead to get the action started. Utah continued the surge, forcing a Colorado timeout, leading the Buffs, 10-1. The Utes fended off a Colorado rally as the Buffs cut the Utah lead down to five at 13-8. Utah quickly turned around sparking a four-point run, extending the lead back out, 18-12. The two sides exchanged points, as Utah carried on to take the final three points and claim the fourth set for the match, 25-17.
