Set three

They formed a monster block together and Eleanor Beavin charted her second ace of the match, giving Kentucky an early lead, 4-2. A kill from Goetzinger and a foul in Alabama gave the Wildcat a 6-2 lead before Alabama took five points for the first stanza change of lead, 8-7.

Set four

Like the other sets, the Wildcats started strong defensively with Bella Bell charting a solo block and killing a piece in front of Lamb, Rutherford and Melby, giving the Cats the early lead, 4-2. Two consecutive service aces from Rutherford extended Kentucky’s lead, but Alabama went on their own with three straight runs to bring them inside one, 7-6. Another trio of terminations from Lamb, Rutherford and Melby alongside a crucial monster block from Bell and Lamb led to a timeout in Alabama ahead of the UK four, 11-7. Erin Lamb controlled the defense with four terminations, extending the Wildcat lead to seven at 16-9. A service foul by the Cats threatened to give Alabama some momentum, but a 4-0 run with two consecutive kills from Melby cemented Kentucky’s lead. Three more Kentucky finishes put the UK within two of the set, as a kill from Melby brought the Wildcats to the set point. A service ace from Riah Walker gave Kentucky the set and the game, 25-13.
