Provo, Utah –The No. 20 Utah Volleyball team traveled south to Provo to take on in-state and Big 12 Conference rival No. 24 BYU, falling to the Cougars in an instant classic, 2-3 (21-25, 27-25, 25-23, 23-25, 12-15).
Â
Utah was tested in the first set, trailing BYU 13-15 at the media timeout. The back-and-forth down the backstretch of the first set began, as the scoreboard flashed a tie score at 17, 18, 19 and 20. The Cougars put together a pair of scoring streaks to take the first set, 25-21.
Â
The Utes could not be denied in the second set, jumping out to an early 7-3 lead. Utah continued to add to its advantage, doubling up on the Cougars after stringing together a five-point scoring run, taking the lead up to 14-6. The Utes saw kills come from Ashley West, Allie Olsen and Lauren Jardine, to get the offensive rally ignited. Utah was forced to fend off a pair of four-point runs by the Cougars to help maintain the lead at 21-17. After one final back-and-forth, BYU put together a five-point run to tie the match at 23-23. After a marathon rally, Kamryn Gibadlo put away the go-ahead kill for the Utes at 26-25. Lauren Jardine brought the match back to even at one set apiece, serving up an ace, giving Utah the 27-25 set victory.

Utah kept the momentum rolling into the third set, stringing together an eight-point run throughout the early stages to secure a 12-7 lead. The Utes didn't look back, exchanging points with BYU and maintaining the advantage. Putting away the final two kills for the Utes were Gibadlo and Kamry Bailey, sealing the set victory, 25-23.
Â
In the fourth set, Utah was unable to put together any sort of significant scoring run. The two sides were knotted up at 15 at the media timeout, coming off the kill from Bailey.
