Apr 23, 2022

SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Beach Volleyball wrapped up its home tournament on Saturday as the program honored seniors Stef Jankiewicz and Sage Patchell in their final home matches. Utah dropped the day's matches 5-0 to Boise State and No. 13 Cal Poly.

Utah began the day against Boise State and saw two courts go to a third set despite seeing the Broncos pick up wins across the board. Utah's No. 2 pair dropped the first dual point, while Lauren Sayre and Sommer Daniel on the court over won a nail-biting 24-22 first set. The 4s for the Utes couldn't sustain the momentum and fell 21-16 in the second before dropping a heartbreaking third set 16-14.

Leading 2-0, Boise State sealed the win from a straight set victory on court five, while shortly after taking the match at the third position as well. Utah's top pair of Patchell and Amaya Messier stormed out to a 21-17 win in the first set, but went on to drop the next 21-10 and head to a third. The Bronco pair ultimately took the win 15-11 to close out the match.

In Utah's senior day match, the team fell behind early after wins from Cal Poly were picked up on courts two and four. Sayre and Daniel played a tight first set (21-19), but couldn't get enough going at the end of the set to close it out. The next wave saw straight set wins from the Mustangs as well to wrap up the day.

Utah Beach Volleyball will be back in action next week at the Pac-12 Championships at Bear Down Beach in Tucson, Ariz.
