Kentucky volleyball started coach Craig Skinner’s 19th season by splitting matches in Colorado last week. The Cats were picked to win the SEC again and started the season ranked in the top 10.
Junior Erin Lamb had 203 kills in 23 matches she played in 2022. She’s dealt with a back injury most of her previous two years at UK but seems close to fully healthy now. She had 21 kills in UK’s first two matches.
“She is as healthy as she has been since she got here,” Skinner said. “She had a really good summer. She is hitting the ball as hard and moving as well as she ever has.
“It’s exciting to see her healthy and have that special look on her face. Her position is so important and her versatility and range will help us immensely if she can stay healthy.”
Lamb was an Under Armor second team all-American during her prep career in Minnesota where she also won a state championship. She was a top 30 player in her recruiting class.
Kentucky hosts Pittsburgh tonight in Rupp Arena.
