STANFORD, Calif. – Behind 13 kills from Kathryn Plummer, No. 2 Stanford women's volleyball swept Utah, 25-17, 25-19, 25-18, Sunday, at Maples Pavilion.
 
Stanford (22-1) won its 20th straight match and its 29th consecutive victory at home. The Cardinal remains in control of the Pac-12 standings at 14-0 with six matches remaining.
 
Plummer's 13 kills led all players as the outside hitter posted a .346 attack percentage to go with five digs and three aces. Outside hitter Meghan McClure hit .462 with seven kills on 13 swings with just one error. The sophomore finished one dig shy of a double-double.
 
The Cardinal hit .388 for the match, while holding Utah (13-12, 5-9 Pac-12) to a .174 clip. Stanford led the Utes in aces (6-2) and digs (41-29), but was out blocked (7.0-6.0) by the Utes.
 


Junior setter Jenna Gray tallied 33 assists and offensively matched her season-high with five kills on a .571 attack percentage. Junior libero Morgan Hentz kept her double-digit digs streak intact, finishing with a match-high 13, while sophomore defensive specialist Kate Formico had nine.
 
Junior Audriana Fitzmorris registered eight kills on .375 hitting and three blocks, while freshman Holly Campbell had five kills and two blocks. Senior middle blocker Tami Alade added three kills and four blocks.
 
Twelve of Stanford's 15 available players appeared in at least one set Sunday. Freshman Mackenzie Fidelak, who checked in for just the second time this season, recorded a kill on match-point to seal the victory.
 


Utah was led by sophomore Dani Drews, who finished with 11 kills and three digs. Outside hitter Megan Yett chipped in with seven kills and seven digs.
