Column: Kentucky volleyball still a top tier program despite slow start

Kentucky Volleyball finished out its non-conference schedule with a three-set loss to Nebraska on Sunday, finishing with a 5-4 record going into SEC play.

The start to the season is the worst the program has had since Craig Skinner became the head coach of Kentucky in 2005, leaving many fans worried about the future of the team.

Over the past five years the Wildcats had been nothing short of dominant, winning five consecutive SEC Championships, and a national championship in 2020.

Skinner also led the squad to 16 straight NCAA tournament appearances, accumulating 12 20-win seasons in his 14-year tenure in Lexington.
