No. 15 Kentucky (11-7, 5-2 SEC) defeated Alabama (10-8, 2-5 SEC) 3-0 (25-22, 29-27, 25-15) for its second straight road victory.

In the first set Kentucky started off slow trailing 14-10 causing Kentucky Head Coach Craig Skinner to take a timeout. After the timeout, the Cats went on a 8-1 run and didn’t look back, winning the first set. 

Star sophomore Brooklyn DeLeye and her nine kills dominated the first set in the first. 

Set two was back and forth until Alabama went on a 6-2 run, giving them a 19-15 lead as they tried to even the match one set each. 

Alabama had set point, but Kentucky went on a 3-0 run to tie the set at 24. DeLeye’s 16th kill of the game won the Cats the second set.

Alabama started the third set 4-1 trying to force a fourth set, but it was all Kentucky after that. Kentucky dominated the third set winning 25-15. 

DeLeye led the team with 21 kills. Freshman Asia Thigpen also added nine kills herself as she is starting to get more comfortable after coming back from a knee injury. 

Kentucky will try to remain perfect on this five-game road trip as they next take on Ole Miss on Sunday, Oct. 27, at 3:00 p.m. ET.
