Klefot also added a bit of offense to her performance with a squad-best five aces in the three matches – including a season-high three in a win over Ohio.

Volleyball: Lauren O’Conner

Freshman Lauren O’Conner broke out as UK’s top offensive threat en route to three consecutive sweeps in capturing the Kentucky Classic this weekend. O’Conner was simply spectacular topping the team with 3.09 kills per set which included three matches with 10 or more kills as she paced the UK attack in all three victories and earned All-Tournament team honors for her efforts. Her 13 hammers in a tournament-clinching win over Virginia Tech is a career-high. O’Conner smashed seven kills in the final stanza that UK won 29-27 to preserve its unblemished mark in its home tournament. She had not totaled more than seven kills in a match in her previous four appearances. O’Conner also had a career-high .364 hitting clip in a win over Ohio. Her breakout performance began against Western Kentucky, a team receiving votes in this week’s AVCA poll, with a then career-best 11 kills on .216 hitting with career-bests in digs (3) and blocks (3). She now is tied for the team lead with three matches with 10 or more kills in a match, and is the only player on the team to string together three straight matches with that output.
