SALT LAKE CITY — How sweet it is!
The Utah women’s volleyball team advanced to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament Friday after defeating the Purdue Boilermakers 3-1 in the second round of the tournament. Utah returns to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2008 and the first time since joining the Pac-12.
Utah (24-9) took a commanding lead early and was looking for the sweep after winning the first two sets, but Purdue (23-10) had other plans, as the Boilermakers came out in the third set and routed the Utes in a 25-13 win.
