GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Since Craig Skinners arrival in 2005, the Kentucky volleyball team has continually captured firsts for the program. Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2016 will now serve as another date to remember. The Kentucky Wildcats traveled to Florida and downed the fifth-ranked Gators (25-17, 25-18, 25-23) in dominating fashion for the first sweep over Florida for UK since 1990.Combined with Kentuckys 3-1 win in Gainesville, Florida a season ago, Kentucky has knocked off Florida in back-to-back trips for the first time since the 1987 and 1989 seasons. Its the second time under Skinner that UK has won in consecutive meetings. Kentucky won in 2008 at home before taking a road contest in 2009. Furthermore, its also the second-straight year the Cats knocked off the Gators as a top-five ranked team.Our players were focused and determined to follow the game plan, Skinner said. Offensively, we were very good on the left and as the match went on we got a lot of production out of the middle as well. We had a very balanced night.Balance offensively and another tremendous defensive effort propelled the Cats to the win. Sophomore setter Olivia Dailey directed UKs offense to the tune of 49 kills on .290 hitting. Kentuckys most explosive set came in the second frame as Kentucky posted 20 kills on a .471 clip. Dailey dished out 37 assists and added seven digs and a pair of blocks.Olivia did a great job of getting people involved at the right time and Im really pleased by the concentration and determination by our kids to win in a really tough environment on the road, Skinner said. Weve really bought in to our defensive philosophy. (Assistant coaches) Lindsey (Walton-Grey) and Anders (Nelson) did a great job with our serving and defensive plans and our team continues to execute.Kentuckys defense swallowed up the Gators to the tune of an average of 10 kills per set and a mere .128 attacking clip. Kentucky had 11 team blocks - seven of which came from junior Kaz Brown. Junior libero Ashley Dusek picked up a match-high 11 digs to lead UK who accumulated 41 for the night.Offensively, freshman Leah Edmond accounted for a match-high 19 kills - just one shy of her career best. Brown and junior Darian Mack each posted nine, while Emily Franklin contributed seven. Sophomore Brooke Morgan added five kills and added six blocks.Sophomore McKenzie Watson contributed six digs, while senior Anni Thomasson added four digs in the winning cause.The Wildcats improve to 10-4 on the season and 3-0 in Southeastern Conference play. Florida falls to 12-2 on the year and 2-1 in league competition. Kentucky will remain on the road with a matchup at South Carolina on Sunday. The Cats and Gamecocks will meet at 1 p.m. ET with the match available on the WatchESPN app.Set 1 Kentucky opened the scoring on a crafty kill from Edmond. She had three kills in UKs first four points as the Wildcats jumped out to an early 4-1 lead. Kentuckys front-line frustrated the Gators in the early going and the home team managed just two kills over the first 10 points scored. A run by Florida allowed the home team to come to within two at 12-10, but a service error and an Edmond conversion on a free ball enabled UK to recapture a four-point edge at 14-10. It was all the more breathing room the Cats would need en route to a dominating 25-17 set win. The Wildcats logged 12 kills on .114 hitting, but it was their defense that forced the Gators into a .100 hitting clip and a mere eight kills. UK registered five blocks, four from Morgan, and 16 digs.Set 2 Edmonds seventh kill of the night opens the second set in the same manner the match began. After UK gained a 2-0 lead, the Gators would tie things quickly at four apiece. Florida earned its first multi-point advantage of the match at 8-6. Despite an impressive rally from both sides, Florida earned a 13-9 advantage and the Cats opted for a timeout. Three-straight kills from Edmond enabled the Cats to pull to within one at 13-12 forcing Florida into a timeout. Back-to-back blocks allowed the visitors to keep the rally going and take a 14-13 edge. Franklin came up with consecutive kills to stretch UKs lead to 19-15. The Wildcats were powered by a 14-2 run midway through the stanza and they ran with it to a 25-18 win. Florida was again frustrated offensively by the Cats defensive effort as UF managed just 11 kills. Kentucky posted 20 on a blazing .471 attacking clip.Set 3 For the first time in the match, the Gators won the opening point, benefiting from a UK service error. A kill from Edmond and a block allowed the Cats to tie things at two, before Florida logged consecutive points to recapture the two-point edge. Florida maintained its edge for much of the set, but a 5-1 spurt allowed UK to tie things at 14 all. Following the media timeout, Florida once again took a two-point advantage. A block from Morgan-Franklin and a kill from Franklin allowed UK to tie the score at 16 apiece and then Florida was charged with an illegal attack and the Cats grabbed a lead for the first time in the set. Kentucky forced Florida into a timeout after Morgan laced one to the middle, followed by a miscue by the Gators enabled UK to earn a 19-17 edge. Edmond came out of the break swinging and posted consecutive kills for a 21-17, Kentucky lead. A couple of miscues allowed the Gators to once again get within two at 21-19. Morgan tooled the block following a UK timeout for a 22-19 edge. A challenge overturn allowed Florida to get within one at 22-21, but Brown converted off the slide. UKs junior middle blocker then posted the matchs final point with a kill for the 25-23 win. The Wildcats notched 17 kills on .289 hitting, while once again pestering the Gators defensively. Florida logged just 11 kills for a match-low .083 hitting clip. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Alex-Mack-Jersey/ .

A 41-year-old page ripped from a barbers appointment book sold for $1,824 last week on eBay.The reason? It might be the last dated autograph of acclaimed runner Steve Prefontaine.The item became available when Pete Peterson, who had been at the Red Rooster for more than 45 years, left after selling the barbershop earlier this year. He sold memorabilia to a customer named Eric Warlick, who eventually posted it on eBay.Jordy Geller, the worlds most famous Nike collector, spotted it and made the purchase last week.Prefontaine is such a legend, and this is a one-of-a-kind piece, said Geller, who has four original pairs of the model shoes made for Prefontaine for the 1976 Olympics.Prefontaine never made it to Montreal, of course, as he died in a car crash in the early morning hours of May 30, 1975, after winning a 5,000-meter race and attending a party hosted by Geoff Hollister, who was Nikes third employee.The date in the appointment book was May 29. That morning, as Peterson tells it, Prefontaine walked into to make a 2 p.m. appointment, and wrote his name down as customers would do, but he came in again and crossed it out.I just want to concentrate on the race, Prefontaine told Peterson.The next day, Petersons wife came into the bathroom as Peterson was showering and told him that a reporter on the radio was reporting that Prefontaine had died at the age of 24. I was shell-shocked, said Peterson.The two had hungg out together countless times since Prefontaine started getting his hair cut as a student on the track team at the University of Oregon.dddddddddddd They would frequently go to the local pub and Prefontaine would smoke cigars.People never believe me because he was the runner that he was, but he did love the cigars, Peterson said. I was friends with one of the investigators of his accident, and they said his autopsy showed he had twice the normal lung capacity of a normal human.After winning seven NCAA titles, Nike -- which was co-founded by Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman and one of his runners, Phil Knight -- signed Prefontaine as its first endorser in 1973.He kept trying to get me to invest, Peterson said. He started with $5,000 and eventually was down to $1,000.Peterson said he doesnt have any regrets about saying no to a deal that would have made him a millionaire because he didnt have the kind of cash to make the investment.Peterson cut the hair of the likes of Norv Turner and Dan Fouts when they were at Oregon. Fouts famously said that Peterson had the best reading material, which referred to Petersons full collection of Playboy magazines.Geller bought the memorabilia in the shop and, aside from the Prefontaine piece, will be auctioning that off on eBay in the coming weeks.
