No. 14 Kentucky swept by reigning national champions No. 6 Wisconsin

Kentucky volleyball was defeated 3-0 by Wisconsin on Friday, suffering its second match loss of the season.

The match was much anticipated by the Wildcats with the badgers being the reigning NCAA Tournament champions, but the Cats could not overcome key errors, leading to the sweep in three sets.

Kentucky began the match with an early lead in the first set but would find itself unable to maintain the momentum to overcome the scoring runs that Wisconsin would soon put together.

The first set had five separate ties, but the ability to put runs together saw the Badgers take the set 25-23 in the end.
