Kentucky volleyball earned the No. 8 seed overall seed in the NCAA Tournament during Sunday’s NCAA Tournament Selection show, with the team hoping to bring a second national championship back to Lexington.
The Wildcats finished the 2023 regular season 19-7 and ended the year on a 16-match winning streak. Kentucky also earned the outright SEC championship, which marked the seventh consecutive championship for the program.
“Obviously you lose, you’re done, so I think we’re just taking it day by day,” freshman Brooklyn DeLeye said about the pressures of keeping the streak alive in postseason play.
The Wildcat roster is riddled with SEC award winners including Emma Grome, Eleanor Beavin, Reagan Rutherford, Azhani Tealer and DeLeye, who were all named to the All-SEC Team.
