Furthermore, its also the second-straight year the Cats knocked off the Gators as a top-five ranked team.Our players were focused and determined to follow the game plan, Skinner said.

We had a very balanced night.Balance offensively and another tremendous defensive effort propelled the Cats to the win. Sophomore setter Olivia Dailey directed UKs offense to the tune of 49 kills on .290 hitting. Kentuckys most explosive set came in the second frame as Kentucky posted 20 kills on a .471 clip.

(Assistant coaches) Lindsey (Walton-Grey) and Anders (Nelson) did a great job with our serving and defensive plans and our team continues to execute.Kentuckys defense swallowed up the Gators to the tune of an average of 10 kills per set and a mere .128 attacking clip.

It was all the more breathing room the Cats would need en route to a dominating 25-17 set win. The Wildcats logged 12 kills on .114 hitting, but it was their defense that forced the Gators into a .100 hitting clip and a mere eight kills. UK registered five blocks, four from Morgan, and 16 digs.Set 2 Edmonds seventh kill of the night opens the second set in the same manner the match began.

Back-to-back blocks allowed the visitors to keep the rally going and take a 14-13 edge. Franklin came up with consecutive kills to stretch UKs lead to 19-15. The Wildcats were powered by a 14-2 run midway through the stanza and they ran with it to a 25-18 win. Florida was again frustrated offensively by the Cats defensive effort as UF managed just 11 kills. Kentucky posted 20 on a blazing .471 attacking clip.Set 3 For the first time in the match, the Gators won the opening point, benefiting from a UK service error. A kill from Edmond and a block allowed the Cats to tie things at two, before Florida logged consecutive points to recapture the two-point edge.

A block from Morgan-Franklin and a kill from Franklin allowed UK to tie the score at 16 apiece and then Florida was charged with an illegal attack and the Cats grabbed a lead for the first time in the set.
