STAFF REPORT [email protected] No. 24 ranked UK Volleyball shocked the Stephen C. O’Connell Center and the No. 5 ranked Florida Gators Sunday, upsetting Florida 3-1 (22-25, 25-23, 25-21, 25-21) behind a career game from freshman Brooke Morgan. Morgan’s career-best 13 kills Sunday helped guide the Cats to its fifth straight match victory, now 9-5 overall and 2-0 in SEC play. Florida’s loss puts them at 9-2 overall and 1-1 in SEC play. It was a back-and-fourth battle in the first set, sparked by two blocks from Kaz Brown and Morgan Bergren to give the Cats a 3-1 lead. It wasn’t until Florida went on a 4-0 scoring run to take a 12-9 lead in the set and didn’t look back from there, taking the first set 25-22. UK found themselves trailing again early in the second set, but rallied behind 11 kills

Anni Thomasson dished out ace after ace in the third set, stretching the Cats’ lead to six at one point in the 25-21 set win.

UK clawed back behind Emily Franklin’s 8th kill of the day, which gave the Cats an 8-7 lead. UK continued to build off the momentum, scoring three straight — forcing Florida to call a timeout trailing 12-9.

The Cats posted a season-high nine aces in the upset, and the win gives the team a share of first place in the conference. Sunday’s win was the first time since 2009 that UK has defeated a top-five opponent and beaten the Gators in Gainesville. The Cats are back in action at 7 p.m. on Friday as they return to Memorial Coliseum to face the Mississippi State Bulldogs (11-4, 1-1 SEC), and will air on the SEC Network.
