The UCF volleyball team has now entered into the latest ranking polls after going undefeated in non-conference play for the first time in program history.
The Knights are coming off an 8-0 start to the season to close out non-conference play after winning all three games in the Jayhawk Classic Tournament this past weekend, which saw the team sweep both Kansas and Lipscomb.
The Knights were led by graduate student Mckenna Melville who was named American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week. Melville picked up 27 kills in a five-set win over Omaha Thursday, 23 kills in a 3-0 sweep against 23rd-ranked Kansas and closed out the weekend with 10 kills against Lipscomb.
With the undefeated start to the season, the Knights check in at No. 25 in the latest American Volleyball Coaches Association Top 25 Coaches Poll. This is the first time UCF has been ranked since Nov. 26, 2018, where the Knights checked in at No. 18.
The Knights will open conference play this Friday against the Memphis Tigers at 7 p.m.
