No. 11 Kentucky’s comeback falls short in five-set season opener

Kentucky volleyball’s season opener ended in a loss for the No. 11 Wildcats in five sets against Marquette on Friday.

The Golden Eagles’ 3-2 victory tied the all-time overall series at 3-3.

Kentucky dropped its first two sets of their season, though there were positives to take from the defeats.

Marquette started the match with an early lead that it maintained throughout the set.

Undeterred, Adanna Rollins impressed in her debut in blue as the Penn State transfer recorded nine kills in the first set and put on a two-point sequence that brought the crowd in Memorial Coliseum to their feet.
