Kentucky Volleyball Dominates North Carolina | Lexington News

Kentucky’s No. 3-ranked volleyball team crushed No. 18 North Carolina in three straight sets, led by a scorching Morgan Gaerte—17 kills, .383 hitting, her best as a Wildcat—and a suffocating defense that held the Tar Heels to a miserable hitting percentage. Gaerte added 11 digs for her first double-double, while Brooklyn DeLeye (15 kills) and setter Kassie O’Brien (44 assists) anchored the attack. The win boosts Kentucky to 6-1, already downed top-12 foes like Wisconsin and Penn State, while North Carolina drops to 4-1. Next up: the Bahamas Paradise Invitational, where they face No. 8 SMU Saturday and either Purdue or Houston Sunday—ready to keep rolling.
