10/14/2018 | Volleyball
LEXINGTON, Ky.ย ย --ย ย ย Ole Miss volleyball suffered a Sunday sweep, falling 21-25, 14-25, 17-25 to No. 16 Kentucky at Memorial Coliseum in Lexington.ย
ย
Ole Miss slips to 11-10 and 1-6 in conference play, while Kentucky improves to 12-5 and remains undefeated in league play at 6-0.ย
ย
Junior Emily Stroup registered her league-leading 11thdouble-double, recording 14 kills and 10 digs. Senior libero Caroline Adams tallied 20 digs, and freshman Aubrey Sultemeier led the charge at the net, putting up five blocks.ย
ย
Kentucky came out firing in the opening stanza, picking up the first six points. After a quick tip over from junior setter Jordan Fate got the Rebels on the board, they slowly began inching back, narrowing the gap. After a UK error, a block from Sultemeier and an ace from sophomore setter Lauren Bars put Ole Miss within three at 19-22, the Wildcats regrouped, taking the frame 25-21.ย ย Sultemeier posted three rejections in the set.ย
ย
The Rebels turned in a sluggish second game as Kentucky secured eight consecutive points to build a heavy lead Ole Miss was unable to overcome, dropping the frame 25-14.ย
ย
Things started in Set 3 with a quick 3-0 run from the Wildcats, but Ole Miss cut things close to 9-7 on a block from Sultemeier and kill from Stroup. Kentucky fired back, turning in a five-point rally and taking 11 of the next 15 points to build a 21-12 lead.ย
ย
Stroup and Sultemeier continued to respond, gaining assistance from senior Caitlin Wernentin as the Rebels took three straight points, cutting the deficit to 21-15. The mini rally wasn't enough, as Ole Miss dropped the contest 25-17 and suffered from a 3-0 loss in the match.ย
ย
UP NEXT
Ole Miss returns to Oxford, welcoming nationally-ranked Florida for a rematch Friday before hosting in-state foe Mississippi State Sunday on a special Caturday celebration.ย
