EDINBURG, Texas - Deise Borghetti "carried" the Wolverines with a school record 30 kills to sneak past Texas-Pan American 18-30, 27-30, 30-24, 30-27, 15-12, Saturday night. Utah Valley State lost the first two games, but came back to win the final three in dramatic fashion.

Borghetti had only five errors in 61 total attempts and hit an impressive .410 on the night.

"Deise [Borghetti] was incredible," said head coach Sam Atoa. "She carried us all the way through. Thirty kills! That has to be some kind of a record."

Atoa was right. Borghetti's 30 kills is a record in UVSC's short history as a Division I program. The senior southpaw out of Medianeira, Brazil also had 15 digs on way to her sixth double-double of the year.

The Wolverines didn't make the come back easy. After winning games three and four and forcing a fifth and deciding game the Wolverines fell behind in the final frame 9-3.

"It was their will and desire," said Atoa about what happened next. "They weren't going to fold and they battled hard."

The battle back came in the form of a 12-3 Wolverine run to steal the game and the match from the Broncs.

"It was amazing," added Atoa.

UVSC setter Lacee Koelliker found Borghetti time and time again, helping the Wolverine offense hit at a .252 clip for the match. Koelliker tallied her second double-double in as many nights and was two kills away from a triple-double. She finished with 40 assists, 18 digs, and 8 kills. She leads the team with nine double-doubles on the season.

Krystal Taylor also had another solid night with 12 kills.

Atoa said the turnaround after the first two games was due to a more balanced attack.

"We started digging the ball better, blocking the ball better, and hitting the ball better," said Atoa. "Those adjustments gave the spark we needed to make a run."

With the win, UVSC gets back to .500 on the season at 8-8. The Wolverines will try to make another run on Tuesday as they travel to in-state rival Weber State for a 7:00 p.m. (MST) match.
