LEXINGTON, Ky. –
As you turn in your Election Day ballot, those involved with the University of Kentucky volleyball team want to be sure you have all of the facts. See, the 19th-ranked Kentucky volleyball team is in the midst of a spectacular season—and we don’t want you to miss out!
Rather than go into a lengthy dissertation of every incredible detail and statistic about the squad we’ll give you FIVE awe-inspiring reasons as to why you should support Kentucky Volleyball ’08.
• UK is ranked No. 19 in the country. They currently hold a 22-3 overall record and a 13-1 record in the SEC—and are winners of 19 of their last 20 matches.
• Kentucky has won 17 or more matches in each of Craig Skinner’s four seasons as the Head Coach. Skinner and the Cats have now won 20 or more matches in back-to-back seasons.
