The Kansas Jayhawks volleyball team is coming off a pair of sweeps over Ole Miss and Grand Canyon in the Jayhawk Classic, improving to 7-3 on the season.

 

The pair of wins mark Kansas' sixth straight three-set victory after a slow start to the year.

 

Following the match against Ole Miss, head coach Matt Ulmer says his team came out with some aggressiveness but was able to settle down and find its offensive rhythm in the first and third sets.

 

As Kansas prepares to begin Big 12 play, Ulmer says his players are building better connections and chemistry, while he would also like to see more consistency in the serving game.

 

Kansas will open conference play Friday when it hosts the Houston Cougars at Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena. First serve is scheduled for 6 p.m.
