Utes showed resilience in loss to the Buffaloes
SALT LAKE CITY – No. 23 Utah Volleyball showed resilience in a three-set loss to Colorado on Saturday afternoon at the Jon M. Huntsman Center.
Despite fighting back and making each set close, the Utes failed to secure a win, falling to the Buffaloes 3-0 (25-18, 26-24, 25-22).
SET ONE
Utah freshman outside hitter Devin Wiest started set one fast for the Utes with a service ace that helped the Utes to a 5-0 lead.
Colorado didn't stay down for long, eventually taking the set 25-18.
SET TWO
Utah shook off the first set loss going neck-and-neck the entire second set with Colorado.
Junior outside hitter Kamryn Gibadlo hit the service ace to make it a one-point game with the Utes trailing 20-19, but the Buffs pushed the gas to come up with a 26-24 second set win.
SET THREE
Utah trailed through most of the third set until Gibadlo hit a kill to take the lead 16-15. Unfortunately, that fight wasn't enough to take the set, and the Buffs walked away with the 25-22 set win that sealed the match.
STANDOUT STATS
Utah heads out on the road next week to take on the Arizona Wildcats in Tucson on Thursday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. MT that can be viewed on FS1. The Utes will then head north to Tempe to take on Arizona State on Saturday, Oct. 4 at 1 p.m. MT. That match will air on ESPN+.
