Kentucky wins first volleyball title in 4 sets over Texas

By ERIC OLSON

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Kentucky’s Alli Stumler bumped into coach Craig Skinner at the team hotel a few hours before the NCAA volleyball championship match and had a question for him.

“You ready to win a natty?” she said she asked him.

Of course, Skinner was. So was Stumler. The All-American had a season-high 26 kills, the biggest coming on the final point of the match, as Kentucky won its first national championship in women’s volleyball with a four-set victory over Texas on Saturday night.

“The moment we woke up, we knew we were going to win this thing,” Stumler said. “The moment we stepped off the plane in Omaha, we said we were going to win this thing. There was never a doubt there was any team better than us.”

We have a granddaughter that plays club ball. We had tickets for when it was scheduled in December. Covid cancelled them.

Marta wouldn't let me get tickets for last night because we haven't had our second shots yet. We get them Wednesday.
