Ranked Lady Toppers to start season with excitement

The WKU Volleyball team met with media last week for the first time this season as their preseason No. 22 national ranking in the AVCA preseason poll gave the team extra excitement to start their season.

“I think it’s the sixth straight season that we’ve been ranked in the top 25 at some point," head coach Travis Hudson said. "That’s a pretty remarkable stretch we’re in right now. It continues to speak to the credibility of our program nationally. I think winning in the NCAA tournament last year helped a lot with regards to that.”

“We were really excited about the rankings, it’s always great to see you start there,” senior defensive specialist Georgia O’Connell said.
