OREM, Utah – (UVU Media Relations) Macky Treanor and Lauren Bakker led Utah Valley University to a 3-0 sweep (25-22, 25-22, 25-21) over in-state rival Utah State on Senior Night in front of a season-high 1,829 fans at the PE Building on Monday evening.
Treanor paced the Wolverines offensively with 13 kills while Bakker led the way defensively with seven blocks. Bakker also recorded nine kills for UVU (13-16) in the contest while senior Kalani Norris added seven. McKenna Tait anchored the back row with a match-high 17 digs.
Bakker, who previously became UVU's all-time leader in solo blocks and total blocks last week, set her third blocking record in as many matches in the contest. The Layton, Utah, native passed Jessica Endres (2004-07) early in the opening set for first-place in the record books for block assists on Monday. The middle blocker now leads Utah Valley in that category with 386 for her career.
The victory marked UVU's third in a row and fourth over Utah State in its last five tries. The Wolverines finished their home season with an 8-4 record at the PE Building in 2014.
The contest marked the final home match for four Wolverines seniors, as Norris, Tait, Jen Hardman and Cassie Wahlin were all honored prior to first serve.
