They did it again, and they did it again. The Kentucky Wildcats women’s volleyball team earned another win yesterday defeating Kansas State 3-2 in yet another five-set match. This is the third five-set match out of the last four matches for the Wildcats. Blair Hiler was the leader of the Wildcats with her first career double-double effort having career-bests in kills (16) and digs (14). In the decisive fifth frame, Kentucky posted a .231 hitting percentage with eight kills to roll to a 15-8 win. Armes scored three kills in the stanza with Hiler picking up eight digs in the set.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
“I’m proud of this group for gutting out another five set match and getting the win,” UK coach Craig Skinner said. “We had a tough preseason and we improved a ton. Our best volleyball is ahead of us, and I really enjoy coaching this group.”
With the UK Invitational the Blue and White close out the non-conference portion of its slate. Kentucky will open Southeastern Conference action at home Fri., Sept. 17 when it hosts No. 4 Florida.
