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!

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. [Eek!]

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. [Smile]

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.
