WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - In what only could be described as a marathon outing, the No. 24 Kentucky volleyball team notched its first ranked win of the season, downing No. 20 Purdue, 3-2 (25-20, 25-18, 24-26, 21-25, 20-18), in front of a raucous crowd in Holloway Gymnasium on Saturday evening.Fans got more volleyball than they paid for, with the fifth set going deep into extra play. Sophomore opposite Brooke Morgan had a pair of critical kills to give the Cats two chances to close the match out. Three plays later, junior outside hitter Darian Mack charted one of her 20 career-best kills to even the match at 18-all. Junior defensive specialist Harper Hempel was called upon to serve, delivering two consecutive balls that proved too tough for the Boilermakers to handle, leading to back-to-back serving errors to close the fifth, 20-18.Im really proud of our teams toughness throughout the match, 12th-season head coach Craig Skinner remarked. It easily could have gone either way and our team showed a tremendous amount of guts in the fifth. We had our ups and downs against a very good team. Im really proud of how our outsides performed - they scored a bunch of points and allowed us to win that match.Holloway Gymnasium is one of the toughest venues in the country, Skinner said. I think tonight helped us prepare for more tough road trips down the road this season. With the end result, both the Wildcats and Boilermakers move to 2-1 on the young season. Kentucky will continue the non-conference portion of its schedule Sept. 2, at the USC Radisson Classic, where the Wildcats are set for another top-25 bout, this time against No. 7 Southern California at 11 p.m. ET.As Skinner mentioned, the outsides were impressive throughout.
