SALT LAKE CITY - Junior Kylie Miller had the best match of her collegiate career with personal bests in assists (41) and digs (22) to post her seventh career double-double, as the 17th-ranked Bruins recorded a four-set victory at No. 23 Utah on Friday at the Jon M. Huntsman Center. Set scores were 25-21, 18-25, 29-27, 25-13.
