LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kansas volleyball is ranked for the 40th-straight time in the AVCA Coaches Poll after the latest poll was released on Monday with the Jayhawks placed at No. 11.
Entering the ninth week of the regular season, KU features a 3-2 record against current top-25 teams, including wins over No. 6 Kentucky, No. 17 Purdue and No. 22 Iowa State.
Four of the Big 12’s nine teams are ranked in the top-25 this week — No. 11 Kansas, No. 3 Texas and No. 22 Iowa State and No. 24 Baylor.
