It was a tough day for Kentucky Wildcats sports. The Kentucky football team lost in a blowout to Alabama, and the volleyball team dropped their second game of the season in a tough match with No. 8 SMU 3-1 (25-27, 25-21, 21-25, 25-27).
Attack errors were a problem for the Wildcats, as they were in their other loss this season. They had 28 of them plus 9 service errors in the match. Overall, they had a paltry .161 hit percentage, not good enough against a good team like SMU.
Morgan Gaerte led the way for the Cats with 17 kills. Brooklyn DeLeye added 14. Kassie O'Brien had 46 **** ists. Defensively, they had some nice plays. Lizzie Carr had 8 blocks, and Gaerte had 7.
The loss drops Kentucky to 6-2 on the season. It doesn't get easier for them either. They face Houston next, then Louisville before starting what will be a tough conference schedule. They'll have to bounce back quickly.
