Trust me, Leah and I will make sure to spend plenty of time giving every player the love they deserve on the podcast this weekend. But the job that true freshman Kassie O'Brien did tonight against a team of that caliber in her first-ever Final Four match is hard to put into words. Kentucky's serve receive wasn't at all favorable for her tonight- she was often running all over the floor to set the ball. But she finished with 54 assists, nine digs, two blocks, and led that Kentucky offense to keep pace just long enough with Wisconsin's to outlast them. UNBELIEVABLE effort.
NEW: Kassie O'Brien has put together one of the most impressive freshmen campaigns in Kentucky's history, an astounding accomplishment when you remember that athletes like Leah Edmond, Madison Lilley, Alli Stumler, and others have walked the halls.. And as a result, she is your AVCA National Freshman of the Year. @VBAdrenaline

Way to go Kassie!
This looks like a repeat from 4 years ago, but on a MUCH larger stage!
We are so proud of you.
Your ambition, drive & grit are unmatched.
