Hilltopper Hysteria began Friday night with a Lady Topper volleyball match against conference foe University of Alabama Birmingham (9-14).
The opportunity made for what Head Coach Travis Hudson described as a beneficial atmosphere for the team and WKU fans.
“This is a fun opportunity," Hudson said. "We have so many season ticket holders for the sport of women’s volleyball now that saw their first volleyball match on the night of Hilltopper Hysteria."
The Lady Tops (20-2) uncharacteristically struggled early as they dropped the first set to UAB 25-20.
“We just didn’t play well in the first set," Hudson said.
