Skinner Hits 500 Wins, Wildcats Soar | Lexington News

Craig Skinner just etched his name in Kentucky volleyball history with his 500th win — a commanding three-set victory over South Florida at the Bluegrass Battle. In his 22nd season, Skinner joins an elite club as only the second SEC coach to reach 500 wins at one school. His leadership has transformed the Wildcats from a program stuck in mediocrity into a national powerhouse — crowned NCAA champions in 2020 and finalists twice more. Celebrations erupted post-game with heartfelt video tributes from players, coaches, and family. The Wildcats are now 3-1 and ready to take on UCLA on ESPN2 — a team that’s made 20 straight NCAA tournaments and consistently hits 20+ wins annually. This is more than stats — it’s legacy.
