The Auburn volleyball team fell 3-1 (14-25, 25-20, 22-25, 23-25) to the No. 15 Kentucky Wildcats Wednesday night at Auburn Arena.
The Tigers (12-18, 4-13 SEC) led Kentucky (25-5, 14-3 SEC) in kills (61-60), assists (59-54) and digs (62-59) in the match, but could not keep the point advantage at the end to win enough sets.
Four Auburn players finished with double-digit kills and a .278 hitting percentage. Sophomores Breanna Barksdale and Stephanie Campbell led the way with 13 kills apiece.
Freshman Macy Reece recorded a team-best .455 hitting percentage with 12 kills on 22 swings, while freshman Courtney Crable collected 11 kills and added in three digs.
Single-season assist record holder Alexa Filley recorded 53 assists and 15 digs for her 17th double-double of the season. The freshman leads the conference with 11 double-doubles.
Junior Alyssa Ivey led the Tigers with 18 digs, while sophomore Emily Klitzke collected a team-high four blocks for the Tigers.
A 5-1 run by Auburn in game two tied the match at 1-1, but the Wildcats came out on top in the last couple sets to claim the match.
The Tigers will take on Mississippi State in their final home match of the season on Saturday at Auburn Arena.
