LEXINGTON -- The Western Kentucky volleyball team gave everything it had left in Friday’s 3-0 (25-16, 25-17, 25-21) loss to Kentucky in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at Memorial Coliseum.

With injuries leaving WKU at less than full strength, Kentucky was able to use a balanced attack to end the Hilltoppers' season at 29-4.

I’ve always said you get to tournament time, you got to be really good, and we are, but you got to get a little bit lucky, and we haven’t been,” WKU coach Travis Hudson said. “... You got to have the balance and we didn't have the balance, but it allowed us to show people.
