SALT LAKE CITY- The No.15-ranked Utah Utes (18-6, 9-4 Pac-12) rolled past the Washington State Cougars (14-12, 3-11) in a three-set win (25-18, 25-11, 25-18) Thursday night at the Huntsman Center. Utah earned its ninth sweep of the season and its third sweep during conference play.

Â
Utah and Washington State traded points to open the match and went into the media timeout of the first set with the Ute lead at 15-13. Out of the timeout, Utah scored three of the next four points, forcing a Cougar timeout. The Utes continued its momentum with a kill from Carly Trueman, followed by a solo block from Berkeley Oblad to lead 20-14. The Utes would take the frame on a kill by Anae, winning the first set 25-18.
