Grep only exact string

I'm using a df command to show disk space but want to grep each line separately:

Filesystem     Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/disk2     59Gi   22Gi   37Gi    38%    /
/dev/disk3s2   11Ti  5.2Ti  5.7Ti    48%    /Volumes/UserStorage
/dev/disk4s2   11Ti  5.9Ti  5.0Ti    54%    /Volumes/UserStorage-BACKUP

I need to extract the values from /Volumes/UserStorage separate from /Volumes/UserStorage-BACKUP

But the following still gives me both:

% df -Pklh | grep /Volumes/UserStorage
/dev/disk3s2   11Ti  5.2Ti  5.7Ti    48%    /Volumes/UserStorage
/dev/disk4s2   11Ti  5.9Ti  5.0Ti    54%    /Volumes/UserStorage-BACKUP

Ideas how to get each line separately, I.e. 

/dev/disk3s2   11Ti  5.2Ti  5.7Ti    48%    /Volumes/UserStorage

then 

/dev/disk4s2   11Ti  5.9Ti  5.0Ti    54%    /Volumes/UserStorage-BACKUP

??

You need to use end of the line anchor $

df -Pklh | grep '/Volumes/UserStorage$'

This would match the line which has exactly /Volumes/UserStorage string present at the end.
