FIRST SERVE
THE KENTUCKY MATCH
¢ Tennessee faces its third opponent ranked inside the AVCA Top 25 when it hosts No. 13 Kentucky on Friday night at Thompson-Boling Arena. The No. 13 ranking is the highest for UK since 2011. ¢ The Lady Vols will be looking to snap a threematch skid against the Wildcats, currently tied for its longest losing streak against any SEC opponent. ¢ UK (14-2, 4-0 SEC) is in first place in the SEC standings and is riding an eight-match winning streak. The Wildcats swept No. 19 Texas A&M in Lexington its last time out. ¢ UK’s roster features the two reigning SEC Players of the Week as junior Morgan Bergren was named Offensive POW and senior Jackie Napper earned Defensive POW honors on Monday. ¢ Junior Shelby Workman currently ranks third in the SEC in kills per set at 3.44. She delivered 19 kills against Alabama last week and 15 against Texas A&M. ¢ The Wildcats have appeared in the last nine NCAA Tournaments, including a run into the second round last season.

THE LSU MATCH
1:30 p.m. ET
¢ Sunday marks the 56th meeting between Tennessee and LSU, dating all the way back to 1977. ¢ The Tigers are 6-7 on the year with a 1-3 record in SEC play. That lone win came on Sunday when LSU prevailed in a five-set thriller over Arkansas. ¢ Sophomore middle blocker Briana Holman has been at the center of LSU’s efforts this season, leading the team in both kills and blocks per set. The DeSoto, Texas, native currently ranks third in the SEC with 4.56 k/s while her 1.67 b/s place her atop the league rankings. ¢ Holman posted 10 kills and five blocks against the Razorbacks on Sunday, but freshman Gina Tillis stole the show with 26 kills and five blocks in the win. On the season, Tillis averages 2.88 k/s. ¢ As a team, LSU ranks fifth in the SEC in total blocks per set, but also ranks at the bottom of the league in opponent hitting percentage. Opposing teams have averaged an .240 attacking clip against the Tigers. ¢ Setter Malorie Pardo, who ranks just ahead of UT’s Lexi Dempsey in the SEC assists per set list at 9.65 a/s, tallied 54 helpers against Arkansas. She now has seven matches of 40 or more assists this year.
