We did a good job of following the gameplan both offensively and defensively. Ashley (Dusek) was very good defensively and was all over the court. The defense is what separated us in all three sets.Senior Anni Thomasson broke the 25-point rally scoring era service ace record when she recorded an ace in the second set. Thomasson now sits at 99 aces in her career and moved past former three-time AVCA All-American Whitney Billings.Anni is a gamer and always has a ball in her hand, Skinner said. Her contact on the ball as a server is pretty special and she has shown that throughout her career.Freshman Leah Edmond paced the Wildcats with her eighth double-double of her young career. Edmond put up 18 kills on a blistering .471 attacking percentage and 10 digs during the three-set win.Two other Wildcats joined Edmond with hot hands. Junior Kaz Brown hit double digits with 11 kills on a .643 attacking clip. Junior Darian Mack joined Brown with a .463 attacking clip as she added seven kills on 13 swings with just one error. Kentucky hit .327 as a team.Brown was stellar on the defensive side of the ball as well. The Waterloo, Iowa native added a team-best seven blocks. The squad had 11 team blocks, with sophomore Olivia Dailey and junior Emily Franklin both picking up three of their own.Junior Ashley Dusek was all over the floor with 23 digs. The match was her best during a three-set contest this season. The team helped Dusek with a combined 58 scoops. After Edmonds 10, Dailey was one dig away from a double-double with nine of her own. Dailey also facilitated the offense with 45 assists.Set 1Arkansas started the set with the first point of the match but Kentucky responded with a Franklin kill. UK gained the lead at 5-4 after a rejection from Brown and Mack, but Arkansas responded and grabbed a 6-5 lead. UK rattled off three-straight points to go up 8-6. Arkansas responded and took a 11-9 lead of their own. After Edmond knotted things up at 11 with a hammer, the match went back-and-forth until Arkansas led 15-13 at the media timeout. Out of the timeout, UK took the lead when Brown picked up a kill to go ahead at 16-15. After Arkansas was able to tie the set at 17-17, UK went ahead and didnt look back. Kentucky took a three-point lead 20-17 when Franklin sent one back. UA cut the lead to one at 20-19, but UK would win the set 25-21 after a Brown kill. Mack led the Wildcats with five kills on just seven swings and hit .714 in the first frame.Set 2Edmond started things off for UK with a kill and an early 1-0 lead. Arkansas responded with four-straight points to go up 4-1. Kentucky tied it at 4-4 after a Thomasson kill from the back row, and the match went back-and-forth.
