LEXINGTON, Ky. -

As you turn in your Election Day ballot, those involved with the University of Kentucky volleyball team want to be sure you have all of the facts. See, the 19th-ranked Kentucky volleyball team is in the midst of a spectacular season—and we don’t want you to miss out!

Rather than go into a lengthy dissertation of every incredible detail and statistic about the squad we’ll give you FIVE awe-inspiring reasons as to why you should support Kentucky Volleyball ’08.
