LOGAN, Utah – Utah State volleyball dominated in every phase of the game en route to a 3-0 (25-12, 25-18, 25-12) sweep of Nevada on Tuesday night at the Wayne Estes Center. The Aggies hit .500 (40-5-70) for the match, the team’s first time hitting .500 or better since hitting a program-record .550 against VCU in 1997. Head coach Rob Neilson “That’s as complete of a match as maybe we’ve ever played in my five years here and we’ve had some really good teams that have accomplished really good things. We hit great. We defended them great. We blocked great. We served great. We passed great. I’m just really impressed by how our team is growing. It’s fun to see against a really good, aggressive and competitive Nevada team. I’m really proud of our group and how we got after it.” Set One USU dominated from the opening serve, hitting .700 in the first set and recording three aces. The Aggies used an early 4-0 to open up a quick lead before taking firm control with a 9-3 stretch midway through. Utah State left no room for a comeback, closing the set on a 5-0 run to win, 25-12.
