The Wildcats will look to extend their win streak to three games after beating Oklahoma in five sets the last time on the court. Kentucky is now 8-6 overall with an SEC record of 2-1 which puts the team in fourth place in the standings. Brooklyn DeLeye continues to lead the Wildcats offensively and the same rang true against the Sooners as she finished the match with 25 kills. Molly Tuozzo dominated on defense, coming up with 20 digs to help hold a strong Oklahoma offense to .243 hitting. While the team is heavily favored to beat Missouri, with No. 7 Texas up next on the schedule, the Wildcats have some kinks to work out before facing the Longhorns.
