Roll Tide. It's not just a football expression in Tuscaloosa anymore. Guess whose volleyball team cracked the national rankings for the first time ever?
Alabama volleyball is 12-1 heading into SEC play this week and checked into the rankings last week at No. 25, a program first. The lone loss was at the hands of Purdue, one of six unbeaten teams in the nation. The 12 wins include a 3-0 victory over Conference USA power Western Kentucky, a rally in five over Villanova and a weekend sweep of a Southern Miss team that swept the Tide last fall.
"We actually get everyone's best game because when people play us, they think they're playing Alabama football," said Doris Carter, who has emerged as one of Alabama's top offensive threats after transferring in from South Florida. "It's fun to play here because of that."
