There’s not much more room to move up, but the Kentucky volleyball team continues to find a way.

After two more sweeps this weekend against Mississippi State and Alabama – the Cats’ 11th sweep of the year – UK moved up to No. 7 in the latest America Volleyball Coaches Association Top 25 Poll.

The Cats, who are 19-1 on the season, continue to dominate league play with an undefeated 9-0 record. UK leads a scorching LSU team – which UK swept earlier in the season – by one game in the loss department for the Southeastern Conference lead.

Florida, the preseason pick to win the league crown, dropped back to No. 10 in the AVCA poll and sits at 8-2 in the SEC.

In addition to the rankings, Kentucky freshman defensive specialist Stephanie Klefot was named SEC Freshman Player of the Week. It’s also the fourth consecutive week a UK player has earned a weekly honor from the conference office.

Keep an eye out for a volleyball feature later this week. This team is too hot not to write about.
