Utah Sweeps Green Bay to Close Out the Utah Classic
9/1/2024 4:42 PM | Volleyball
Kamryn Gibadlo named Utah Classic MVP
SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Volleyball closed out the opening weekend of competition with a clean sweep of Green Bay, 3-0 (25-11, 25-12, 25-21). Utah improves to 3-0 to start the season, capping off the Utah Classic with wins over UTEP (3-0), Utah State (3-1) and Green Bay (3-0).
Â
Kamryn Gibadlo claimed Utah Classic MVP honors, putting down 36 kills in three matches, averaging 3.60 kills per set and hitting .378. Vanessa Ramirez earned All-Classic Libero honors, with 25 digs on the weekend, averaging 3.13 digs per set. Fellow All-Classic honorees for the Utes were Emrie Satuala and Rianne Vos. Satuala accumulated 14 blocks with 16 kills throughout the weekend. Vos came off a career-high night against Utah State, where she tallied 14 kills, finishing the weekend with 20 total kills, hitting .529 to get the season started.
Â
Utah dominated the first two sets, holding the Phoenix to a .000 or negative hitting percentage throughout the two sets. The Utes opened the match by going on a 5-0 scoring run with Gibadlo putting down five kills in the first set alone. Utah forced a Green Bay timeout midway through the set after a five-point run. The Utes continued their momentum with a 10-2 run, extending Utah's advantage, 22-10.
Â
In the second set, Green Bay came out swinging, putting down the set's first three points unanswered. Utah returned to even things up at 5-5, getting some more firepower from Gibadlo. Utah kept its foot on the gas, behind an eight-point Gibadlo service run, which included three kills from Levani Key-Powell. As the offense carried the momentum, Satuala helped give the Utes their largest lead of the second set, 20-9.
Â
The Utes would have to fight to finish off the Phoenix in the third set, as Green Bay found a spark to its offense. Green Bay took an early lead to open the set, 7-4, extending its advantage to 11-6, before Utah was able to spark a rally with kills from Allie Olsen and Gibadlo. With Utah finding its fire midway through the third set, the Utes would go on a 5-0 run, knotting the third set up at 11 and taking their first lead, 12-11. It would be a back-and-forth battle down the stretch with the scoreboard showing 11 ties and six lead changes before the Utes sealed the victory.Â
