Beat Texas 3-1 to win Championship! Skinner is a great coach, and Madison Lily (setter) is the national NCAA POY.

It was awesome. I was as excited as I was watching the men's basketball team win it all in 2012.

I watched the semifinal and the championship games. Both were very exciting. Those girls were great. Congratulations to the first UK and first SEC volleyball champs! [ 04-25-2021, 09:13 AM: Message edited by: jerseycat ]

I also found the game incredibly exciting. The speed and power of the game was incredible!
Of course, all those spandex shorts didn't hurt either.
But, seriously, this is a real accomplishment for UK sports. Barnhardt set out to expand the number of successful programs, and IMO, he has succeeded. That makes 4 different sports that UK has won a total of 13 championship in:
Men's basketball (8) Rifle (3) Women's track (1) Women's volleyball (1)
I like to throw in the "consensus" national championship that Bear won in Football in the early 50s to make five sports and 14 championships.

Yes, UK actually has won 25 cheerleading championships. But those championships are not "NCAA sanctioned". The sponsoring organization determines the champions.
Not to detract from their remarkable achievements, but I was referring to NCAA championships. [ 04-25-2021, 08:47 PM: Message edited by: Tiptree ]
