UK Volleyball has gone to the NCAA Tournament 11 consecutive times.
During the Cats’ streak of 11 straight NCAA Tournament appearances one thing has been a constant: coach Craig Skinner, who in the last game of the season won his 250th career match.
Skinner is the all-time career leader in wins as the UK women’s volleyball head coach and has changed the culture of volleyball in Lexington.
In Skinner’s first year as coach he took UK to its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1993 and won the 2005 SEC Coach of the Year award.
