SEATTLE – The Utah volleyball team wrapped up the road trip to the Pacific Northwest going toe-to-toe with Washington at Alaska Airlines Arena on Sunday afternoon, falling in five sets (25-19, 20-25, 20-25, 26-24, 14-16).
The Utah offense was clicking on all levels on Sunday, setting records for multiple Utes. Four different Utah players recorded double-digit kills as this is the highest team kill total since totaling 65 against UConn at the San Diego preseason tournament in 2022.
Sophomore setter Viktoria Wahlgren tallied 51 assists against the Huskies, the most of her young career. The Canada native also contributed defensively by adding four blocks and six digs, the most since collecting 12 digs at USC earlier this season. Dominating the middle of the court, Emrie Satuala piled up a career-high 18 kills with a .375 hitting percentage. Satuala remained a steady asset throughout the match as she put together five kills in both the first and fourth sets. The sophomore transfer shined at the net as the team’s season block leader, using her seven blocks to lead all scorers.
Utah was a force defensively as all five of the match’s block leaders were Utes. Following Satuala’s strong afternoon, Allie Olsen contributed six blocks while Amelia Van Der Werff and Kamryn Gibadlo joined the party with three blocks each. Leading the back row, Vanessa Ramirez led all scorers with 18 digs, tying her second-most of the season.
