Jeff Malone scored the game's first and last two points, allowing Utah to lead from the opening tap and hang on when New York rallied in the dosing minutes.

But first, before any of that, Nashika wants to get the most out of volleyball. "I just love it," she said. "I have ever since I started playing it." Provo coach Wendy Bills agreed. "One of her greatest strengths is that she just loves the game," said Bills after the Bulldogs clinched the Region 4 title Tuesday. "She's a great competitor, in the game and in practices. She's a team captain and she's always hustling." Stokes refuses to accept a star label. She said the Bulldogs are undefeated this year because every player fills a role and fills it well, with nobody really standing out. Bills said a team attitude, with everyone being willing to fill a role, has been a key to her team's success this year. Nashika's role, she said, is "to be a passer and our followed the game plan and did what I was told. We wanted to make him chase me and waste punches. That's what we did.
