LARAMIE, Wyo. — Two days after getting reverse-swept by Utah State, Wyoming pulled off a reverse-sweep of its own against Nevada. The Cowgirls volleyball team rallied to win a five-setter over the Wolf Pack, 22–25, 15–25, 25–7, 25–13, 15–9.
The Cowgirls dominated much of the late stages of the match, allowing Nevada to score just 29 points across the final three sets. After the Wolf Pack controlled much of the first and second sets, the Brown and Gold turned the tables in dramatic fashion, leading wire-to-wire in the third and fifth and only trailing at 2–1 in the fourth.
The Wyoming offense was led by Paige Lauterwasser’s 20 kills while she hit .375. Claire Wagstaff also finished in double figures with 10 kills and hit .353. Kayla Mazzocca and Sarah Holcomb added nine and eight, respectively, while hitting .400 and .471.
Holcomb and Mazzocca were terrors at the net defensively, combining for 22 blocks. Holcomb recorded a career-high 14 blocks in the win while Mazzocca had eight. Wagstaff tallied a career best with nine total blocks, while Kasia Partyka had five.
Wyoming dominated at the net, recording 23 total team blocks — just half a block shy of tying the program record for most team blocks in a five-set match.
Partyka had a solid all-around day as she paced the Cowgirls with 48 assists while adding six digs and three kills. Sierra Grizzle led Wyoming with 22 digs in the victory. Lauterwasser’s 11 gave her her eighth double-double of the season.
Four Cowgirls recorded aces at the service line.
It was a victorious Senior Day for Wyoming. Prior to the match, UW honored Macey Boggs, Mazzocca, Partyka, Kendal Rivera and Sonte Stewart.
