OREM, Utah - The Utah Valley University women's volleyball team will have a rematch and its last home match of the season on its plate this week as it travels to Ogden, Utah to play Weber State Tuesday and hosts Houston Baptist in Orem Friday. Both matches are scheduled to start at 7 p.m.
The Wolverines beat the Wildcats of Weber State a five-set match in Orem earlier this season. Sophomore outside hitter Kayli Broadbent had 23 kills in the match, and junior libero Allyce Wilson racked up 29 digs. Utah Valley is 4-5 all time against Weber State but has won three of the last five meetings.
Houston Baptist is a new opponent for UVU, but the teams will quickly become familiar with each other as they will compete as members of the Great West Conference in 2009. Fans can get $2 off admission to Friday's match against the Huskies with a can of food to be donated to the Utah Food Bank. Students get in free with a can of food.
Broadbent, a sophomore outside hitter, leads the way offensively for the Wolverines this season. She has 225 kills on the season and averages 3.52 per set. Wilson, a junior libero, and junior middle blocker Kristin Anderson anchor the UVU defense. Anderson leads the team with 86 total blocks and Wilson has 300 total digs.
