Kentucky volleyball prepares for top ten showdown against Penn State

Kentucky is set to take on No. 7 Penn State in a top-ten matchup at Historic Memorial Coliseum on Friday at 7:00 p.m. ET.

The Wildcats will try to get their first-ranked win of the early season after dropping their first game of the season to No. 2 Nebraska. Since that match, Kentucky won the Bluegrass Battle by going 3-0 against fellow Kentucky schools.
