LEXINGTON, Ky. – Following its 10th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance in 2014, the Kentucky volleyball team is set to play 12 matches against NCAA qualifiers from a season ago as head coach Craig Skinner announced his team’s upcoming 2015 schedule on Monday. Kentucky returns five starters and nine letter winners from a team that went 27-6 last season.
Composing a challenging schedule that encompasses a multitude of playing-styles has continually prepared Skinner’s teams for post-season berths. The 2015 schedule adheres to that mold once again. UK will face nine teams and have 12 matches against teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament a season ago, host a non-conference tournament and rival Louisville and play host to the NCAA Regionals for the third time in five seasons (rounds of 16 and 8) Dec.
