Utes put on a show for record Huntsman Center volleyball crowd
SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Volleyball handled their business against No. 23 BYU, fighting back for a reverse sweep, 3-2, against their rival in front of a record 6,021 crowd at the Jon M. Huntsman Center Friday night.
The Utes fell into an early hole losing the first two sets of the match (25-17, 25-22) but showed determination in the last three sets (25-21, 25-21, 15-12) to earn their 12th win of the season.
Utah's efforts against the Cougars got an exclamation mark from senior middle blocker Emrie Moea'i who earned her 1000th career kill during the match.
SET ONE
BYU raced off to a 6-0 lead to start set one against Utah at the Jon M. Huntsman Center until Moea'i hammered a kill to get the Utes on the board.
Utah made up some ground going 6-2 against the Cougars to make it a 16-10 game. The Utes continued to be relentless, chipping the first set down to a four-point game, 17-13, but BYU ultimately prevailed 25-17.
SET TWO
The second set started much more competitively between Utah and BYU with the rivals trading two lead changes and eight ties before the Utes took the lead at 9-8.

SET THREE
Like set two, set three started close with the Utes and Cougs trading three ties and one lead change before Utah took off 4-3.
About halfway through the set, the Utes were up comfortably 12-8, but BYU made a late push to make it a two-point game down the stretch, 20-18.
Unlike the round, Utah held strong taking a 25-21 set win and forcing a fourth set.
SET FOUR
Once again, set four started tight with the Utes and Cougars going back-and-forth with five lead changes and 10 ties.
