The Wildcats held their first practice of the 2014 season Saturday morning. The two-hour session was filled with plenty of energy as Kentucky prepares for the 31-match regular season and the opener on Aug. 29 in Memorial Coliseum. While the team had their first team meetings yesterday, today it was time to get to work.
After a 22-win season in 2013, UK will look to notch a 20-win season for the seventh time in the past eight years and earn their 10th consecutive NCAA Tournament berth. While the big goals are clear for the 2014 Wildcats, today the focus was on taking a good first step as a team. Twenty days remain until Kentucky takes on Wichita State in the season’s opening match, and Craig Skinner and the Wildcats know that every moment of the preseason matters.

Great energy and focus to kick off preseason for @KentuckyVB. Can’t wait to get back into the gym this afternoon! #one #ukvb #bbn
