In case you haven’t noticed, fall sports at UK are in full swing and the result was a packed weekend. Joker Phillips is holding his weekly press conference this afternoon and we will have coverage as always. Before then, let’s run down the action you may have missed as you get your week started on a rainy Monday.

• Headlining the weekend was the No. 29 men’s soccer team, who won a pair of games on the road to claim the 2011 South Carolina Classic. The title was punctuated by an upset win over the No. 15 Brown Bears. The Wildcats are in the midst of road stretch that has sent them to the West Coast one weekend and the East Coast the next, with another trip to the Midwest to play third-ranked Creighton in Omaha, Neb., on Wednesday. Before the game, I will speaking to head coach Ian Collins and a couple of his players about their play, this long road swing and their offensive explosion so far this season with a feature story to follow.

• Believe it or not, the volleyball team lost a set this weekend. The Cats, though, won two matches to open SEC play over Auburn and Georgia to run their winning streak to nine matches. Over that stretch, UK has won an astounding 27-of-29 sets to run its record on the season to 11-2. Ann Armes and Christine Hartmann paced the team in a 3-1 victory over Georgia on Sunday. Armes posted 11 kills at a .450 hitting clip while Hartmann directed a balanced UK attack with 42 assists.

• In less than a month, men’s basketball will officially tip off its season at Big Blue Madness, but John Calipari, now stateside after coaching the Dominican Republic National Team in the FIBA Americas Championship, had a chance to work with his team in a couple one-hour sessions this weekend. Over at CoachCal.com, Calipari and a handful of players discussed the workouts in a video that I encourage you to check out if you’re craving a basketball fix. This morning, men’s basketball also announced the television schedule for all non-conference games that had not yet been picked up, as well as Big Blue Madness and the Blue-White scrimmage.

• Nine former Wildcats saw the field in NFL action this weekend. Wide receiver Stevie Johnson made the biggest splash, catching eight balls for 96 yards and a touchdown as the Buffalo Bills had a comeback win over the Oakland Raiders to move to 2-0 on the season. Linebacker Wesley Woodyard started for the Denver Broncos, tallying 13 total tackles in a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Randall Cobb, the reigning NFL Rookie of the Week as voted by the fans did not quite match his season-opening performance, but he did have a pair of catches for 25 yards. Head on over to KyForward.com to see a full rundown of how all the former Cats fared yesterday.
