No. 13 Kentucky was swept by No. 2 Nebraska 3-0 on Sunday, bringing its record to 5-4 on the season with all four losses coming from ranked opponents.
The loss followed an up-and-down weekend that saw a tough defeat to No. 3 Louisville despite Adanna Rollins’ 19 kills against the Cardinals, and a bounce back sweep over Indiana State.
Facing a meat grinder of a schedule, Kentucky’s match against Nebraska would be its third against top-four teams, all of whom made the final four in the NCAA Tournament last season, since Sept. 9.
The Cats’ desire for a statement victory was apparent from the first set with Rollins, Reagan Rutherford and Erin Lamb racking up four kills each.
