Yeah the announcers were losing me with the terminology.... I knew about digs, sets, and kills, but was impressed with the announcers.

Hard to fathom that it’s the first ever national championship for the SEC. What a huge accomplishment. What a roster of dominant players, too.
Congrats ladies. What a tremendous accomplishment.
Everyone should start wearing Volleyball Champs shirts! Congrats to the team.
What a fun team to watch this entire tournament. So happy for them, and always appreciative of something to celebrate after the last year the world has had.
Wow our girls are some badass Volleyball players with a killer instinct, they never got rattled or panicked after getting down one set. They made to many unforced errors the first set, settled down and kicked as the rest of the way going toe to toe with a big athletic Texas front line. Great Job girls, congratulations on doing something no other SEC team has ever done!!
Congrats Lady Cats!!! Awesome game to watch. I have never really ever watched a women's volleyball game before. That was fun!
Congrats Lady Cats! I thoroughly enjoyed watched 4 games of the tournament run. I’m now a big fan and will keep watching in the future.
Stumler can jump out of the gym and, at what 6’2’’ I wonder if she can dunk? At least a tennis ball maybe?

Great accomplishment by this team! So proud of Coach Skinner and the women!!!
National Champs!
National Champs!
Then proceeds to go out and play her best game of the year. Little calling-your-shot-esque there.
How do the official scorers keep up?

I enjoyed watching the f4 games. very impressive. stumler has a pile driver tomahawk swing.
Heck Yeah! Impressive run by the CATS! I can't believe they dug themselves out of that hole in the 4th.
Can you image taking a facial from one of those missiles?
Went to ukteamshop.com to see what kind of championship gear I can get. ALl they had was some t-shirts. Went to go buy the one listed for $24.99. After tax, shipping, and handling, it's going to cost $35.40. And it's just a 100% cotton t-shirt from some brand I never heard of. How absurd. I'll just do without if that's the **** they are going to be pulling.
One of the Longhorn players did get hit in the face on a slam... think it was during the third set? She shook it off pretty well.
They play with so much heart and grit. Glad Stumler is just a junior. If two or three of the seniors come back we could be right back there next year. Very proud the way they represented and got it done! Just great athletes also.
I think they played on and may of actually scored on it if it's the same play I'm thinking of.
Youre right. It did. Square in the mouth and they then saved the point. Pretty amazing play.
Texas 27-1 and they had several great players, to beat them like we did is pretty amazing. One of the differences was we had more great players. Every one of them was major contributors. And we have one of the very best coaches because he has took every Kentucky team he has had to the tournament.
UK game notes with names and team pics.
That's hilarious. They just steamrolled through the schedule. 3-0, 3-0, 3-1, 3-0, etc

The future looks bright.
With the extra year of eligibility, they could all theoretically come back
Now I am interested if they have any top rated players signed for next year.
