🔼 Smart Skills. Not only are these women smart on the field, but they also bring their knowledge to the classroom day in and day out. The College Sports Communicators named Payton Robertson, Maya Lacognato, Anna Young, Maggy Henschler, Taya Hjorth, and Marz Josephson to the Women’s Soccer Academic All-District Award. To qualify, the athletes had to be at least a sophomore, have a 3.50 cumulative GPA, and compete in 90% of the games or start in at least 66% of their games played.

🔼 Repeat x6. Now the sixth time this season, Emma Grome has been named Southeastern Conference’s Setter of the Week. She continued her NCAA-leading performance of 12.00 assists per set and hit another 50+ assist match against Texas A&M with a total of 55. Along with Grome, Brooklyn DeLeye got noticed by the SEC, being named Freshman of the Week. She leads the league, being named four times. DeLeye logged 4.75 kills per set and is the first freshman at Kentucky since 2016 to have three 20+ kill performances.
