Utah knocks off school-record sixth top-25 ranked opponent on the season
EUGENE, Ore. – The No. 19-ranked Utah volleyball team knocked off another top-25 opponent with a 3-1 (25-22, 21-25, 26-24, 25-15) Pac-12 Conference win over the No. 16-ranked Oregon Ducks Wednesday night at Matthew Knight Arena.
The Utes (18-8, 9-6) matched a school record with its sixth win over a ranked opponent in a single-season with its victory over the Ducks (17-7, 10-5). Utah matched the six wins it collected over ranked opponents back in 2014. All six wins over ranked opponents this season have come on the road.
Junior Adora Anae paced Utah with 15 kills, but fellow junior Carly Trueman registered four of her 11 kills in the fourth set to help the Utes put the match away. Sophomore Berkeley Oblad had two of Utah's match-high seven service aces and led the team at the net with six total blocks. Utah went on to out-block the Ducks, 11.0 to 7.0 in total team blocks.
Obald did it all in the first set, registering a pair of kills, two service aces and a block to help lead the Utes to a 25-22 win. The Utes hit just .091 in the frame, but Utah countered with four total service aces and Oregon tallied five service errors to make up the difference.
Oregon led by as many five points midway through the second set, up 15-10, but Utah managed to chip its way back into the frame and got back within two points of the Ducks following a pair of kills from Anae. Trueman added a kill and made it a 22-21 game, which forced Oregon to call a timeout. The timeout proved to be an added boost for the Ducks as the home squad scored the final three points to take the set 25-21.
Trueman put down three straight kills and then added block to give Utah a 10-7 lead midway into the third set, but Oregon countered with an 8-2 run to go up 15-12. Utah climbed its way back though and following a kill from junior Eliza Katoa Utah had notched things back up at 22-22. Oregon and Utah traded points to a 24-24 tie, but Utah closed out the set with a kill from Anae and quick dump kill from sophomore Jessie Openshaw to take the frame 26-24 and a 2-1 lead in the match.
The Utes jumped out to an early 8-4 lead thanks to another three straight kills from Trueman and Oregon was forced to call a quick timeout. The Ducks rallied with a 4-1 run to tie things at 9-all, but Trueman put the Utes back on top with her fourth kill of the set. Oregon would tie the set up at 11-11 a few points later, but Utah ran away with the set following a 9-1 run, which gave Utah a 21-12 lead. Oregon would put down three more points, but it wasn't enough and Trueman's 11th kill of the night gave Utah the set, 25-15, and the match 3-1.
Oregon tallied more kills (60-53) and more assists (57-48) in the match, and for the majority of the evening was out-hitting the Utes by a large margin after the first two sets. Utah came up big on the offensive side of the net in the final two sets though, registering hitting percentages of .462 in the third set and .423 in the fourth set, respectively, on the way to out-hitting the Ducks overall, .223 to .183.
Utah collected more digs on the evening, 76-75, behind Anae's team-high 23 digs and Brianna Doehrmann's career-high 20 digs on the evening. Openshaw posted her third straight double-double after recording 24 assists and adding 13 digs in the victory.
Sophomore Emma Kirst recorded a season-high eight kills on .316 hitting and added a pair of blocks at the net. Junior Tawnee Luafalemana was a force at the net as well, collecting five total blocks on the night.
Utah splits the season series with Oregon for the second straight season and third time overall since joining the Pac-12 back in 2011.
The Utes have now recorded nine wins in Pac-12 play, tying the program's most conference win total as a member of the league. Utah won nine conference matches in 2013 and 2014.
The Utes will make the quick trip over to Corvallis, Ore., to take on the Oregon Ducks tomorrow (Thursday) night. First serve is set for 7 p.m. PT/8 p.m. MT.
