Legendary finish by Bajema seals comeback win vs Utes

It took 21 points for Washington to get past Utah in the fifth set.

Kara Bajema had 12 of them.

The senior outside hitter had one of the most legendary matches in Husky volleyball history as #13 Washington (21-5, 12-4 Pac-12) fought off seven match points and seized sole possession of second place in the Pac-12 with a 3-2 win (25-18, 20-25, 18-25, 25-14, 21-19) over #15 Utah (19-8, 11-5).

On the match, Bajema had a career-high-tying 26 kills on .339 hitting to go with 10 digs, 7 blocks and 2 aces. Her seven blocks ties her highest total in her three seasons as an outside hitter (she had as many as 12 while playing her freshman season as a middle blocker).
