So far this season, Louisville has not surrendered a single set to league foes in going 12-0 through their first four games. Lady Leopards Volleyball has not won 12 straight sets to start a league season since rally scoring was adopted in 2006. This is the first time Louisville has won 12 straight sets to start a season since 2000 when they began the season on an 18-set winning streak through their first 9 conference games using the old scoring system. That year, Leopards Volleyball won one of their four District Titles in their history.
