Kentucky volleyball is set to compete in the AVCA First Serve Showcase in the KFC Yum! Center on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET. The Cats will play powerhouse Nebraska, which will start the season ranked No. 2 in the country.
The Wildcats will start the season ranked No. 9 after an strong season last year where they went 17-1 in the SEC, earning their seventh straight SEC championship. Kentucky’s season ended in the NCAA Regional Semifinal last year.
Nebraska went 33-2 and won the Big Ten last season. The Cornhuskers were ranked as the No. 1 team in the country most of the year, but ended up losing to Texas in the National Championship game.
