🔵 ONE BIG THING

Back-to-Back. Two volleyball players were recognized by the American Volleyball Coaches’ Association for the second season in a row. Emma Grome and Reagan Rutherford made the AVCA All-America lists, with Grome on the second team and Rutherford on the third team. Grome led the NCAA with 12,10 assists per set. Rutherford averaged 3.47 kills per set and averaged a .315 hitting percentage. 

These honors are number 53 and 54 in Kentucky Volleyball history. It is the 16th time the Wildcats have placed multiple players on the AA teams and 13th time in a row.
