LEXINGTON – It was the upset that almost was for WKU.
On Saturday, the Lady Toppers picked up where they left off on Friday afternoon, claiming the first two sets over Kentucky in dominating fashion.
However, the No. 6 Wildcats would not be denied on their home floor.
With their backs against the wall, Kentucky used a massive comeback to oust the Lady Toppers from the second round of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament with a 3-2 win (25-16, 25-22, 19-25, 21-25, 12-15) on Saturday evening in Lexington.
Like the match against Notre Dame on Friday afternoon, the Lady Toppers threw a load at the Wildcats in the first two sets and left the opposition with few answers, and Kentucky head coach Craig Skinner’s message to his team at the intermission was simple.
