TOP STORYLINES

WKU opened the season ranked for just the fifth time in program history during the 2021 fall campaign, also marking the first time the team will do so twice in back-to-back campaigns. The Hilltoppers came in at No. 25 to begin the 2020-21 spring season, followed suit starting off No.16 before the kick off of fall 2021, and came in the AVCA Coaches Preseason Poll at No. 21.
WKU ranks No. 21 in the latest AVCA Coaches Poll - steady with the preseason marks in August. The Hilltoppers have now been ranked in 11 of the last 12 seasons and received votes for 19-straight campaigns.
The Hilltoppers have won 25 consecutive sets thus far, including the three-set sweep over Tennessee to mark the program's first win over the Lady Vols in their four meetings.
WKU Volleyball is more accessible than ever with radio broadcasts for every match. The Tops are 1 of just 10 Division I Volleyball programs that currently have live radio for home and away matches.
Kicking off with a 10-1 season, the Hilltoppers started off their 2022 campaign with a three match 3-0 sweep over their first tournament weekend of the season hosted by Bradley -- the first time since 2007.
Despite the season's only loss to No. 3 Louisville for WKU's home opener, the Tops guided a regular-season attendance record inside Diddle Arena. 3,811 fans packed in to watch WKU compete against the highest-ranked team in program history.
