The Utes outblocked the Golden Bears, 18.5 to 5.0, which was a season-high for blocks in conference matches this season.
Last weekend, Utah held a 3.00 to 1.62 block-per-set advantage in matches at Oregon and Oregon State last weekend.
A Glance at No. 3 Stanford: Stanford has won nine of its last 10 matches and is second in the Pac-12 in blocking, with a 3.24 block-per-set average.
