Kentucky Volleyball Shines in Rupp Debut, Knocks off No. 24 WKU in Four

With Memorial Coliseum currently under renovation, the No. 10 Kentucky volleyball team made a strong debut on the court inside of Rupp Arena Thursday night, knocking off No. 24 Western Kentucky 3-1 in its lone exhibition match of the 2023 season.

UK head coach Craig Skinner promised a fast offense and a slew of talent in his preseason press conference, and both were on full display Thursday. The Cats totaled a whopping 62 team kills with just 14 errors, good for a .378 hitting clip. Four Wildcats reached double figures on the evening, led by junior outside hitter Erin Lamb.
