The streak is over. For fifteen long years, the University of Louisville has held bragging rights over Kentucky in their intense volleyball rivalry. On Thursday night, in front of nearly 11,000 fans at the KFC Yum! Center, that streak came to a crashing, emphatic end. L's down.
The #6 ranked Kentucky Wildcats stormed into enemy territory and knocked off the #3 ranked Louisville Cardinals in a wild, five-set instant classic (21-25, 25-21, 24-26, 25-12, 15-7), securing their first victory in the series since 2009.
A battle of resilience
The victory was a testament to the Wildcats' mental fortitude.
