No. 18 Baylor volleyball’s first ever matchup against Utah ended in disappointment as it was swept by the Utes 25-21, 25-14, 25-21, Saturday afternoon at Jon M. Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City.
The Bears (10-6, 2-3 Big 12) found themselves playing from behind for most of the afternoon, facing heavy firepower from the Ute duo of junior middle blocker Emrie Satuala and sophomore outside hitter Kamryn Gibadlo. After senior outside hitter Elise McGhee recorded two kills to start the scoring for Baylor, Utah (15-2, 5-1 Big 12) went on a pair of 3-1 runs to take a comfortable 9-5 lead.
