Tastes sweet: Kentucky VB sweeps WKU to move on in NCAA Tournament

There’s something about NCAA Tournament matches in Lexington, and that something has to do with sweeping. For the second night in a row No. 12 Kentucky volleyball has beaten its opposition 3-0. This time Western Kentucky was the victim following the Hilltoppers’ first-round win against Bowling Green on Thursday night.

Kentucky dismantled Loyola Chicago on Thursday, but made sure to save some for WKU. From start to finish, the energy was high and the ‘Cats were flying. BBN didn’t disappoint either providing a loud atmosphere from the get-go. The crowd’s influence didn’t go unnoticed, but head coach Craig Skinner has high aspirations for the Wildcat faithful.
