Kentucky’s volleyball team wrapped up Southeastern Conference play undefeated for the first time since 1998 and the fifth time in program history.
The Cats (24-4, 18-0 SEC) swept Auburn 3-0 (25-12, 25-22, 25-19) on Saturday in Memorial Coliseum in front of a season-best crowd of 3,078 fans.
“It’s a special group to be a part of,” UK Coach Craig Skinner said. “Just the effort, passion, energy, selflessness of a group to try and go undefeated in the league is almost impossible. I’m just proud of the relentlessness that this group has shown. Today our strengths came out: offensively, we were good and our serving pressure put a lot of stress on Auburn so it was good to see.
