4-1-1 ON MTSU On Nov. 21, #24-ranked Middle Tennessee State All-America forward Alysha Clark led the Blue Raid-ers to a hard-fought 84-73 victory over Austin Peay in Clarksville, Tenn. The game marked the 1,000th contest in MTSU program history. Clark poured in the points connecting on 18-of-22 fi eld goals for 38 points in 37 minutes and added a game high 11 rebounds for good measure. With the 38 points, she also surpassed the 1,000-point barrier as a Blue Raider. Fellow Pre-season First Team All-Sun Belt selection Brandi Brown was the only other Middle Tennessee (2-1) player to reach double fi gures, as she hit three 3-pointers as part of a 13-point night. A tight game throughout, Jack-ie Pickel drained a trey at 10:31 as Middle Tennessee pushed its lead to 11 behind a 10-2 run to tie for its largest fi rst half advantage. APSU trimmed the defi cit to as close as fi ve, 30-25. However, Middle responded with a 13-7 spurt the remainder of the stanza to enter the locker room up 43-32. The Blue Raiders couldn’t shake the Govs and held a fi ve point lead, 72-67, with fi ve minutes to play. Clark went to work scoring three straight layups to crush APSU’s upset hopes.

OUR LAST MEETING WITH MTSU The Tennessee Lady Vols earned win number 299 at Thompson-Boling Arena and Head Coach Pat Summitt’s 990th career victory with an 81-52 decision over the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders on Dec. 11, 2008. Freshman Shekinna Stricklen posted team-highs of 20 points and six rebounds to lead the Lady Vols, who were energetic coming off a nine-day layoff for fi nal exams. UT came ready to play from the opening tip and never trailed against the Blue Raid-ers. Sophomore Vicki Baugh fi nally scored the game’s fi rst points at the 18:59 mark of the fi rst half. After a Blue Raider bucket, the Lady Vols opened the game up with a 14-2 run. MTSU was able to get back within three with three straight three-pointers, but Tennes-see answered with a run of their own, keyed by pair of Alyssia Brewer steals, which converted into fast-break layins. Stricklen fi nished off the half with a 33-foot buzzer-beater to give UT a 41-23 halftime lead. Freshman Briana Bass earned her fi rst career start as redshirt-sophomore Cait McMahan did not play to give her knees some rest. Head Coach Pat Summitt trot-ted out the youngest starting lineup in Lady Vol history

with freshmen Bass, Stricklen, Glory Johnson, and sophomores Baugh and Angie Bjorklund. Three previ-ous times, Coach Summitt had three rookies starting together, but each time there was at least one upper-classmen in the lineup. Bass keyed the UT defensive effort that limited MTSU to its then-second-lowest of-fensive output of the year with four steals. Bjorklund, making her fi rst start of the season after earning 30 as a freshman, tallied 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting, and added three assists. The third Lady Vol to score double fi gures was Johnson, with 11. She posted double digits in her fi rst eight games of the season. UT senior Alex Fuller, playing against her high school coach Rick Insell, came off the bench for 21 produc-tive minutes, including a pair of assists and a steal.

LAST TIME IN MURFREESBORO The Tennessee moved to 2-0 on the 1979-80 season with a 63-48 win over MTSU on Nov. 26, 1979. The Blue Raiders jumped out to a 30-25 halftime lead before a boisterous crowd of 1,500 spectators. UT Coach Pat Head implored senior All-Americans Holly Warlick and Jill Rankin to get on the boards and pres-sure Middle’s guards. The second half Tennessee turnaround found the Lady Vols executing the game plan as UT outscored MTSU 38-18. Rankin paced UT with a 14 point and 12 rebound double-double as posts Debbie Groover added 13 points and Cindy No-ble 10. Warlick led the Lady Vols with seven assists and fi ve steals to go along with six points. Rookie Lea Henry, Warlick’s heir apparent at point guard, came off the bench to add 12 points. Tennessee shot 44 percent for the game (29-66) while holding Middle to 18-53 (33 percent). Middle cashed in on 12-12 charity tosses off of 15 Lady Vol fouls.

LADY VOLS WHO PLAYED FOR INSELL AT SCHS Although MTSU Head Coach Rick Insell is just in his fi fth season in the collegiate ranks, he’s no stranger to distaff hoops. Prior to taking the head coaching job at his alma mater, Insell was the head girls basketball coach at Shelbyville Central High School in Shelbyville, Tenn. He led the Golden Eaglettes to 10 Class AAA state championships, 23 district championships, and produced six Tennessee Class AAA Miss Basketball Award Recipients. Five Tennessee players have hailed from Shelbyville Central High School and benefi ted from the coaching of Rick Insell. Sisters Abby (2004-05) and Amanda Canon (1998-2002), Michelle Johnson (1993, 1995), Tiffany Woosley (1991-95) and Alex Fuller (2004-09) all were Golden Eaglettes before they became Lady Vols.

UT-MTSU FACING THE RANKED Tennessee is slated to face 12 ranked teams in 14 games this season while MTSU is expected to face three ranked teams in three games (LSU, Tennessee, Xavier).

TV AT MTSU A state-wide televised broadcast for the up-coming Middle Tennessee-Tennessee women’s bas-ketball game has been announced. The contest will be shown throughout the state on three MyNetwork-TV affi liates, including Nashville’s WUXP (MyTV30) as the fl agship station. Fans in the Murfreesboro/Nashville viewing area can watch the game on Comcast Channel 14. Other stations set to show the game include WAPK (MyWAPK) in the Tri-Cities and WVLT-2 (MyVLT2) in Knoxville. The game, set for 7 p.m. CT Nov. 25, will mark the Lady Vols’ fi rst visit to Murfreesboro in 30 years. Middle Tennessee’s director of broadcasting Chip Walters will handle play-by-play duties, while former Vanderbilt standout Ashley McElhiney will join him on the call as the ana-lyst.

HOME SWEET HOME Much is made of the Lady Vols palatial locker room in Thompson-Boling Arena. The team lost the right to use the locker room following back-to-back losses last season to #7/10-ranked Duke (Feb. 16, 62-54) and Kentucky (Feb. 19, 66-56). Following

the Lady Vols win over at #12/17-ranked Virginia on Nov. 22, 2009, Coach Pat Summitt announced in the post game talk to the team that they had earned their locker room back to thunderous cheers from the team.

RANKED TIDBITS Tennessee is 2-0 against ranked opponentsthis season in three total games played. The Lady Vols opened the season with a 74-65 win over #7/4-ranked Baylor and took a 77-63 win on the road at #12/17-ranked Virginia. Next game against a ranked opponent will come at #24-ranked Middle Tennessee on Nov. 25 in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

DUPREE DEALS WITH BACK PROBLEMS University of Tennessee Lady Vol Head Basket-ball Coach Pat Summitt announced on Nov. 23, 2009, that freshman center Faith Dupree will be sidelined this season. “Faith has been experiencing recurrent lower back pain,” explained Summitt. “Our medi-cal staff (Director of Sports Medicine Jenny Moshak, team orthopaedist Dr. Greg Mathien and team physi-cian Dr. Becky Morgan) felt that the best course of ac-tion was to spend this season treating her. “We are disappointed for Faith and what she means to our team,” said Summitt. “She worked really hard in the preseason drills and conditioning but now she needs time to focus on getting her back healthy.” Moshak, University of Tennessee Associate Athletics Director for Sports Medicine, has been treating Dupree for back pain for several weeks. “We are going to use this year to explore treatment options and provide aggressive rehabilitation,” said Moshak. Dupree, a 6-3 freshman from Knoxville, Tenn., appeared in the fi rst two games of the season. Against #7/4-ranked Baylor she logged four minutes and grabbed a rebound. In San Antonio at the ESPNU Road to the Championship, she played 18 minutes and tossed in fi ve points, grabbed six re-bounds and had three assists in 18 minutes against Texas Tech. Tennessee’s roster now drops to 11 ac-tive players for the 2009-10 season. Also sitting out this year, following both shoulder and brain surgery, is 6-1 sophomore forward Amber Gray of West Chester, Ohio.

JOINING THE LADY VOL FOLD University of Tennessee Lady Vol basketball head coach Pat Summitt announced the early signing of two student-athletes to National Letters of Intent for the 2010-11 academic school year. Joining the eight-time NCAA Champions are signees Lauren Avant, a 5’9”, guard from Memphis, Tenn., (The Lausanne


Game Notes • Tennessee vs. Middle Tennessee • Nov. 25, 2009Collegiate School) and Meighan Simmons, a 5’9” guard from Byron P. Steele High School in Cibolo, Texas.

UNBROKEN CIRCLEThe 2009-10 Lady Vols are taking their “Circle

of Infl uence” media guide them into a postgame center court jump circle huddle with their oppo-nents. Before the game with Baylor, UT junior Angie Bjorklund invited the Lady Bears to join them for a postgame prayer. Each opponent has followed suit meeting at center court after the game for the mo-ment of thanks.

1200 GAMES Coach Pat Summitt coached in her 1,200th college game when she faced Texas Tech on Nov. 17.

BJORKLUND IS A WOODEN NOMINEELady Vol junior sharpshooter Angie Bjorklund

is a preseason candidate for the John R. Wooden Award. She joins the initial list of student athletes who, based on last year’s individual performance and team records, are the frontrunners for college basketball’s most prestigious honor. This season, the Lady Vols will face a number of Wooden nomi-nees including: Jayne Appel and Jeanette Pohlen (Stanford), Alysha Clark (Middle Tennessee), Allison Hightower (LSU), Ashley Houts (Georgia), Danielle Robinson (Oklahoma) and Monica Wright (Virginia). In late December, the Wooden Award Committee will release the Midseason Top 20 list, followed in March by the National Ballot, consisting of approximately 15 top players who have proven to their universities that they are also making progress toward gradu-ation and maintaining a cumulative 2.0 GPA. The Women’s Wooden Award All-American Team will be announced the week of the “Elite Eight” round dur-ing the NCAA Tournament. The 34th annual Wooden Award ceremony, which will include the announce-ment of the Men’s and Women’s Wooden Award, and the presentation of the Wooden Award All-Amer-ican Teams and the Legends of Coaching Award, will take place the weekend of April 9-11, 2010.

STRICKLEN IS ON THE NAISMITH LIST Lady Vol sophomore Shekinna Stricklen has been named to the Naismith Player of the Year “watch list.” The watch list was compiled by the At-lanta Tipoff Club’s Board of Selectors, which based its criteria on player performances from the previous year and expectations for the 2009-10 college bas-ketball season. The Naismith Trophy presented by AT&T will be awarded at the 2010 NCAA Women’s Final Four in San Antonio, Texas.

STRICKLEN DOUBLES UP ACCOLADES Lady Vol sophomore Shekinna Stricklen was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Week and Lady Vol Athlete of the Week (Nov. 9-15)after lead-ing the No. 8/9-ranked Lady Vols to a 74-65 win over the No. 7/4-ranked Baylor Lady Bears on Nov. 15 at Thompson-Boling Arena to open the 2009-10 season. The Morrilton, Ark., native scored 25 points, grabbed a career-best 14 rebounds, dished out fi ve assists and tallied three steals. The game against the Lady Bears marked Stricklen’s third career double-double. Her 25 points were one off of her career-high 26 points, which were scored at No. 6/5-ranked Auburn last season.

600TH WIN Tennessee’s win over Baylor to open the 2009-10 season was Lady Vol Coach Pat Summitt’s 600th victory over a non-conference team. She is now 602-129 versus non-conference opposition over 36 seasons.

IS THERE A BIG 12 DIVISION FOR US? This season, Tennessee might qualify for divi-sional play in the Big 12. The Lady Vols have four opponents on its schedule from that conference. UT defeated #7/4 Baylor in Knoxville (74-65)... traveled to San Antonio to defeat Texas Tech, 91-53 and will en-tertain #10/13 Texas on Dec. 6 and #20/16 Oklahoma on Jan. 3 in Thompson-Boling Arena.

ESPNU ROAD TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP The Lady Vols took the ESPNU Road to the Championship (formerly the ESPNU Women’s Bas-ketball Invitational) when it defeated Texas Tech in Nov. 17. The preseason women’s basketball dou-bleheader, UConn defeated Texas in the night cap, is played in the same city as the women’s NCAA championship. The ESPNU Road to the Champi-onship is an ESPN Regional TV (ERT) owned and operated event. San Antonio is the host city for the 2010 NCAA women’s basketball championship.

WE TOOK THE ROAD BEFORE In 2007-08 season, the Tennessee Lady Vols were invited to the inaugural ESPNU Women’s Bas-ketball Invitational in Tampa, Fla., site of the 2008 Final Four. It marked the fi rst meeting of the CP3s -- Tennessee’s #3 Candace Parker and Oklahoma’s #3, Courtney Paris. The Lady Vols registered a 70-67 victory over Oklahoma in 2007 at the St. Pete Times Forum in the ESPNU Classic in Tampa, Fla. Tennessee returned to the same venue a little over four months later to win the 2008 NCAA Final Four defeating Stanford in the title game.

FROM THE TRAINING ROOM Several Lady Vols have been nicked up al-ready this season and qualify for “Moshak’s Medical Moments.”

Vicki Baugh-Continuing to rehab from torn ACL suf-fered in the 2009 game at Oklahoma. Participates in practice and pulls herself when the knee “talks” to her.Faith Dupree- Dealing with back spasms. Will sit out this season. Glory Johnson- Suffered a left shoulder injury in practice (Nov. 11) but is a full go.

GET THIS... It’s a fact that Tennessee has produced some of the greatest players ever in women’s collegiate basketball. It’s a little known fact that there has only been one double-fi gure rebounder in the history of the program -- Olympian and Kodak All-American Patricia Roberts. Roberts hauled in 14.2 rpg (467 total) in her only season as a Lady Vol in 1976-77. She also claimed scoring honors with 29.9 ppg (987 points). In 2006-07, Candace Parker came the clos-est to a double-fi gure rebounding average but had to settle for 9.8 rpg.

GOT THE PATCH Six Lady Vols are proudly displaying VOLScholar patches on their jerseys this semester -- Briana Bass, Angie Bjorklund, Kelley Cain, Glory Johnson, Alicia Manning and Sydney Smallbone. The VOLScholar program is an initiative of UT’s Thornton Athletics Student Life Center which is a comprehensive academic and citizenship-building program that has gained enthusiastic support from UT’s men’s and women’s athletic teams. Student-athletes earn the right to wear the VOLScholar patch on their uniform by achieving a 3.0 grade-point aver-age during the previous fall and/or spring semester.

POLLSTERS The Tennessee Lady Vols started the season in somewhat unfamiliar territory in the Top 25 Pre-season polls. The Associated Press placed UT in the eighth position to start the season, while the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll had UT in ninth spot. Last season, UT started in seventh in the AP and sixth in the coaches’ poll. Tennessee’s start in the AP poll is the lowest since the 1985-86 season when UT started in the number nine spot.

HIGH SCHOOL TO LADY VOL TEAMMATES This season marks the fourth time in Lady Vol Basketball history (under Summitt) that high school teammates are taking to the fl oor in a Tennessee uniform. Freshman post Faith Dupree joins fellow Webb School teammate and UT sophomore Glory Johnson in the line-up this season. Previously, Cherokee H.S. (Canton, Ga.) teammates Debbie Groover and Cindy Ely roamed the paint from 1977-81; Baldwin Co. H.S. (Milledgeville, Ga.) teammates Val Freeman and Lisa Webb played from 1983-88 -- both even tore ACLs one week apart as sopho-mores, and Shelbyville Central H.S. (Tenn.) team-mates Michelle Johnson and Tiffany Woosley played during the 1991-95 seasons.

HEY! WE LOVE A HAPPY MEAL The Tennessee Lady Vols lead the nation with the number of McDonald’s High School All-Americans on their roster in 2009-10 with nine players. Tennes-see’s McDonald’s All-Americans: Vicki Baugh, Angie Bjorklund, Alyssia Brewer, Kelley Cain, Amber Gray, Glory Johnson, Alicia Manning, Shekinna Stricklen and Taber Spani.

ELITE COMPANY Rookie forward/guard Taber Spani became the 13th Lady Vol player to start her very fi rst game as a Lady Vol when she started against Baylor. Last season, when Coach Pat Summitt started freshmen Shekinna Stricklen and Glory Johnson against San Francisco, it marked only the 11th and 12th time in her coaching career that a freshman started her very fi rst game at Tennessee. The list of opening day rookie starters: Taber Spani 2009, Glory John-son and Shekinna Stricklen, 2008, Angie Bjorklund, 2007, Candace Parker, 2005, Shyra Ely 2001, Ash-ley Robinson 2000, Gwen Jackson 1999, Kyra Elzy 1996, Chamique Holdsclaw 1995, Tiffani Johnson 1994, Bridgette Gordon and Sheila Frost 1985.

THE NOD Last season, a record number of players – FIVE – were called on to start for the Lady Vols as rookies… Shekinna Stricklen (starter number 53), Glory Johnson (number 54), Briana Bass (55), Alicia Manning (56) and Kelley Cain (57) all earned starting assignments becoming the 53rd-57th freshmen to earn the honor. Angie Bjorklund became the 52nd all-time Lady Vol to start during her freshman season –she started in 30 of 38 games. Previously, Cait McMahan earned a start at point guard versus Louisiana Tech during her fresh-man season. Prior to Cait’s starting nod, then-redshirt freshman Candace Parker played and started in all 36 games her rookie season in 2005-06. A season ear-lier, Tennessee coach Pat Summitt liked what she saw out of the 2004-05 rookie class as two players earned starting nods during the season. Nicky Anosike played in all 35 games with 25 starting assignments and Alexis Hornbuckle played in all 35 games with 21 starts. This duo became the 48th and 49th rookies all-time to earn starting assignments at UT as rookies. The 2001-02 rookie class found three players earn a starting nod as Loree Moore, Shyra Ely and Brittany Jackson all started at some point in their rookie careers.

UT’S SEASON-OPENERS UNDER SUMMITT Over the last 36 years on opening day, the Lady Vols have won 33 times and lost just three con-tests. Coach Pat Summitt lost her very fi rst game as a college head coach -- a heartbreaking one-point decision at home in Alumni Gym to Mercer, 84-83, on Dec. 7, 1974. The next time UT lost an opening game was in Knoxville on Nov. 21, 1981, to Stephen F. Austin, 80-74, in Stokely Athletics Center. Most re-cently, UT fell in their fi rst contest of the 1999-2000 campaign dropping a 69-64 decision to Louisiana Tech on Nov. 14, 1999 in Thompson-Boling Arena. Until the loss to the Lady Techsters in 1999, the Lady Vols had won 18 consecutive season openers.

ALWAYS A HOT TICKET Joe Arnone, UT Associate AD for Ticket Opera-tions, says Lady Vol season ticket sales have been steady despite the disappointment of the 2008-09 season. As of Nov. 11th, 10,011 season tickets had been sold. Last season, over 10,400 season tickets were sold.

THOMPSON-BOLING ARENA • WELCOME TO “THE SUMMITT”

The playing court in the Thompson-Boling Arena on the University of Tennessee campus donned a new look for the 2005-06 season. After Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt passed Dean Smith for most NCAA collegiate basketball wins of all-time with a 75-54 win over Purdue on Mar. 22, 2005, UT named the TBA court, “The Summitt.” The fl oor had a complete overhaul with permanent logos of both the Lady Vols and Vols painted directly in front of the scorer’s table; the free throw lanes were painted or-ange with “SEC” reversed out; the giant jump circle/mid-court TENNESSEE was given a new brighter color scheme, and “The Summitt,” Coach Summitt’s actual signature adorns the sidelines opposite the team benches.

300 WINS IN TBA Tennessee recorded its 300th win in Thompson-Boling Arena when the Lady Vols defeated the Stanford Cardinal, 79-69 OT on Dec. 21, 2008. Seven years ear-lier, UT grabbed its 200th TBA win over the University of Southern California on Nov. 18, 2001, 106-66. UT has now amassed a 308-20 (.942) record since the Orange and White moved into the Thompson-Boling Arena to start the 1987-88 season 22-years ago. Along the way, the Lady Vols have produced nine fl awless home re-cords in 1988-89 (15-0), 1991-92 (14-0), 1992-93 (13-0), 1993-94 (15-0), 1994-95 (15-0), 1997-98 (16-0), 1998-99

JUST 20 LOSSES The Tennessee Lady Vols rarely lose at home. In fact, since moving to the Thompson-Boling Arena for the 1987-88 campaign, UT has lost two games in one season just seven times. UT lost two games in TBA dur-ing the inaugural 1987-88 campaign, 1996-97, 1999-00, 2001-02, 2003-04, 2005-06 and 2008-09 seasons. The 20 all-time losses at TBA have come at the hands of just 10 teams: Virginia (2008), Florida (2006), LSU (2008, 2006), Duke (2009, 2007, 2004), Connecticut (2004, 2002, 2000, 1996), Louisiana Tech (1999, 1989), Geor-gia (1996, 1991), Texas (2003, 2002, 1987), Stanford (1996) and Auburn (1988).

HOME SWEET HOME -- OVER 400 HOME WINS The victory over Georgia on Jan. 31, 2005, was the Lady Vols 400th home win since Pat Summitt took over as head coach in 1974. Summitt has won 91.4 per-cent of all home games in 35 years producing a 459-45 overall record. Home losses (in the Summitt era) include: six in Alumni Gym from 1974-76; 19 in Stokely Athlet-ics Center from 1976-87; and 20 in Thompson-Boling Arena.

100 POINT GAMES Since 1974, the Lady Vols have gone over the century mark 69 times. The 1987-88 team hit triple digits in seven games to lead the NCAA.

IN OVERTIME Tennessee is 26-14 all-time in overtime games. The most OT games in a year was tied in 2003-04 with four as the Lady Vols went 3-1 in overtime losing to Georgia, 68-66, and defeating Auburn, 68-61, DePaul, 96-89, and Stanford, 70-66. It tied the mark set in 1996-97, when the Lady Vols were 3-1 in overtime contests losing to Georgia, 94-93, and defeating Texas, 68-65, Vanderbilt, 92-79 and LSU, 100-99.

2009. Since that time, UT is 1-0 on a neutral court.

SEC COACHES TAB LADY VOLS The Southeastern Conference unveiled its sixth annual women’s basketball preseason All-SEC fi rst and second teams, Thurs., Oct. 30, to tip-off the 2009-10 season of SEC women’s basketball. In ad-dition, the coaches voted on a predicted order of fi n-ish, overall champion and a preseason Player of the Year. In the closet vote yet, Tennessee was pre-dicted to win the Southeastern Conference regular season championship over LSU by one vote. The Lady Vols were 22-11, 9-5 in the SEC last season, while LSU fi nished 19-11, 10-4 in conference play. Mississippi State, Georgia, Vanderbilt and South Carolina round out the top half of the league with Florida, Auburn, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Kentucky and Alabama rounding out the lower half. LSU senior guard Allison Hightower was named SEC Women’s Basketball Preseason Player of the Year. Joining Hightower on the All-SEC First Team were Arkan-sas’ C’eira Ricketts, Georgia’s Ashley Houts and An-gel Robinson, LSU’s LaSondra Barrett, Mississippi State’s Alexis Rack and Tennessee’s Angie Bjork-lund and Shekinna Stricklen.

Two Lady Vol players were recognized on the preseason All-SEC Team as the media picked soph-omore Shekinna Stricklen for the First Team and junior sharpshooter Angie Bjorklund for the Second Team. LSU’s Allison Hightower was the overwhelm-ing choice of the media for SEC Women’s Basket-ball Player of the Year with 18 votes, the remaining votes were for LSU’s Lasondra Barrett and Tennes-see’s Angie Bjorklund. Joining Hightower on the All-SEC First Team were Georgia’s Ashley Houts and Angel Robinson, Mississippi State’s Alexis Rack and Tennessee’s Shekinna Stricklen.

FRESHMEN AT TENNESSEE When Pat Summitt started freshmen guard/forward Shekinna Stricklen and forward Glory Johnson on Nov. 15, 2008, against San Fran-cisco, it marked the 11th and 12th times in her coaching career that a freshman started her very fi rst game at Tennessee. The list of opening day rookie starters: Angie Bjorklund, 2007, Candace Parker, 2005, Shyra Ely 2001, Ashley Robinson 2000, Gwen Jackson 1999, Kyra Elzy 1996, Chamique Holdsclaw 1995, Tiffani Johnson 1994, Bridgette Gordon and Sheila Frost 1985.

THE NOD Last season, Stricklen and Johnson become the 53rd and 54th Lady Vols all-time to start during their freshman season. Briana Bass became the 55th to earn the nod. Alicia Manning was the 56th and Kelley Cain became the 57th when she start-ed against Alabama. As a rookie, Angie Bjork-lund started in 30 of 38 games. Previously, Cait McMahan earned a start at point guard versus Louisiana Tech during her freshman season. Prior to Cait’s starting nod, then-redshirt fresh-man Candace Parker played and started in all 36 games her rookie season in 2005-06. A sea-son earlier, Tennessee coach Pat Summitt liked what she saw out of the 2004-05 rookie class as two players earned starting nods during the season. Nicky Anosike played in all 35 games with 25 starting assignments and Alexis Horn-buckle played in all 35 games with 21 starts. This duo became the 48th and 49th rookies all-time to earn starting assignments at UT as rookies.

Exhibition #1: Carson-NewmanNov. 5, 2009 • Knoxville, Tenn.

Thompson-Boling Arena (12,363)

EXHIBITION 1: CARSON-NEWMAN Six players reached double fi gures and No. 8 Tennessee defeated Carson-Newman 124-34 in an exhibition game Thursday night in Thompson-Boling Arena. Sophomore Glory Johnson led the way with a game-high 22 points and 10 rebounds, and junior Angie Bjorklund scored 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting before making her exit midway through the second half. At one point after halftime, Bjorklund had scored more points than Carson-Newman. “We wanted to focus on what the team brought at both ends,” UT coach Pat Summitt said. “Last year, we would sometimes play down to the level of our competition. Tonight, we maintained our intensity. Last year, we’d get a lead and think the game was over. Tonight, we were thinking execution.” Freshman guard Taber Spani started and scored 17 points in her fi rst game as a Lady Vol. Alicia Manning added 18 points, and Kelley Cain had 16 points. Shekinna Stricklen chipped in 12 points, 10 of which came in the fi rst half. No other freshmen played until forward Kamiko Williams, who scored two points on 1-of-2 shooting, entered with about 6:21 remaining in the game. Faith Dupree did not play. For the game, Tennessee hit 62 percent of its shots from the fi eld, including a 45-percent clip from beyond the 3-point line. Bjorklund and Spani both hit a team-high three 3-pointers. The Lady Vols opened the game on a 16-3 run and cruised to a 64-18 lead at halftime, thanks in large part to 18 fi rst-half turnovers by Carson-Newman. Tennessee scored 22 points off turnovers in the opening half and used their considerable size advantage inside to outscore the Lady Eagles 34-8 inside over the same span. The Lady Vols defeated Carson-Newman 135-55 in an exhibition game last year and have now scored more than 100 points in fi ve of their last six exhibition games against the Division II school. “Overall, I was pleased,” Summitt said. “We played well together. Sometimes our defense was too tight. We weren’t perfect, but we’ve got some good fi lm to look at.”

Exhibition #2: Delta StateNov. 9, 2008 • Knoxville, Tenn.


EXHIBITION 2: DELTA STATE Kelley Cain breezed to a double-double Monday night in a 79-46 exhibition victory over Delta State in Thompson-Boling Arena. Cain, who fi nished with a game-high 20 points, 20 rebounds and seven blocked shots in just 19 minutes of play, loomed large over the Lady Statesmen, whose tallest player still gave up four inches to Tennessee’s 6-foot-6 center. “When she’s playing that way, you can’t stop it,” Lady Vols guard Angie Bjorklund said. “Having that inside presence really helps us, especially in the outside game. Coach (Pat) Summitt says that you win with rebounding and defense and she’s a huge part of that.” Tennessee opened on an 11-0 run and used another 11-0 run to take a 22-5 lead early in the fi rst half. Delta State, ranked No. 4 in Division II, made a couple charges in the second half but never seriously posed a threat. “I wasn’t real impressed with what did in the fi rst half,” Summitt said. “We played in spurts in the second half. The bright spots for us were Kelley Cain and Taber Spani.” Despite coming off the bench in favor of sophomore Glory Johnson, Spani notched a double-double of her own with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Seven of those boards came on the offensive end. “Taber is just a player,” Summitt said. “She just wants to play. It doesn’t matter where. She has a great feel for the game.” Angie Bjorklund scored 12 points on 4-of-13 shooting, while Shekinna Stricklen added 10 points and nine boards. Johnson fi nished with seven points on 2-of-6 shooting with two blocks and fi ve rebounds. Freshman Faith Dupree made her Lady Vols debut Monday, but failed to score in 10 minutes on the court. She did record a block and two steals. Point guard Bug Cooper paced Delta State with 15 points, but the Lady Statesmen shot just 26 percent from the fi eld and turned the ball over 19 times. Tennessee and Delta State last played in 1979 before Monday’s exhibition, but the two programs met in the 1977 AIAW Final Four where the Lady Statesmen defeated Tennessee to claim their third consecutive AIWA national title.

Game #1: #7/4 BaylorNov. 15, 2008 • Knoxville, Tenn.


GAME 1: #7/4 BAYLOR The Tennessee Lady Vols offi cially opened the 2009-10 season against the No. 7/4-ranked Baylor Bears, and as in 33 other season openers under Head Coach Pat Summitt, the Lady Vols came away with a win, 74-65. Leading the way for Tennessee was sophomore Shekinna Stricklen, who played all 40 minutes on her way to her third career double double. The Morrilton, Ark., native scored 25 points - one off her career high - and grabbed 14 rebounds, establishing a new career best. Stricklen also dished out fi ve assists and grabbed three steals on her way to Player of the Game honors. The Lady Vols got off to a quick start, building a 10-3 lead nearly four minutes into the contest. However, the Lady Vols shooting would go cold as the Lady Bears took a 26-24 lead into the lockerroom. While UT mustered only 28.9 percent from the fi eld in the fi rst 20 minutes, the Lady Vol defense limited Baylor to only 29.2 percent shooting. The second half belonged to Tennessee, as the Lady Vols outscored Baylor 50-39 in the fi nal stanza. In addition to Stricklen, center Kelley Cain posted 13 of her 15 points in the second half. The Lady Vols used a 16-0 run from the 1:02 mark of the fi rst half to the 16:16 point of the second half to transform a six-point defi cit (20-26) into a 10-point lead (36-26). Junior Angie Bjorklund was the third Lady Vol to fi nish with double fi gures as she posted 13 points. Her three three-pointers moved the Spokane Valley, Wash., native into a tie for fi fth all-time with Sidney Spencer in the Tennessee record books with 133 career triples made. Sophomore Glory Johnson was the only Lady Vol to fi nish with more than four points. The Knoxville native tallied nine points to go with seven rebounds and four steals in 33 minutes of action.

Game #2: Texas TechNov. 17, 2008 • San Antonio, Texas

AT&T Center (4,586)

GAME 2: TEXAS TECH The Tennessee Lady Vols made their fi rst road trip of the season and handed the Texas Tech Lady Raiders a 91-53 loss at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. The two sides squared off as part of the ESPNU “Road to the Championsip” - the 2010 NCAA Final Four will be held at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The Lady Raiders grabbed the early lead, going up 6-2 just over four minutes into the contest. The Lady Vols would respond in a big way. Tennessee went on a 24-2 tear over 10:55 to build a 26-8 lead with just under fi ve minutes to play before the halftime horn. Leading the way for UT in the fi rst stanza were sophomores Shekinna Stricklen and Glory Johnson, who each tallied nine fi rst half points and fi ve rebounds. Johnson fi nished the contest with 17 points and six boards, while Stricklen tossed in 16 points, pulled down seven boards and dished out fi ve assists. Tennessee was not about to let up in the second half, and opened the second period on a 32-4 run over the fi rst six minutes of the half. Junior Angie Bjorklund keyed the run with nine points on three three-pointers over a mere 25 seconds, giving UT a 51-21 lead with 15:56 to play.

Game #3: at #12/17 VirginiaNov. 22, 2008 • Charlottesville, Va.John Paul Jones Arena (11,895)

GAME 3: #12/17 VIRGINIA Junior Angie Bjorklund was feeling it on Sunday afternoon at John Paul Jones Arena against #12/17 Virginia in Charlottesville, Va. Monica Wright, the Cavaliers preseason All-American, said so. “She tore it up tonight. She was just so hot,” said Wright. Bjorklund fi nished with a game high 24 points, including fi ve three pointers in leading the #6/5 Lady Vols to a 77-63 win in a hostile JPJ Arena on Nov. 22. It was the Spokane Valley, Wash., native’s 34th career double digit scoring game and the seventh outing in her time at Rocky Top that she has scored at least 20 in a game. Bjorklund’s shooting from beyond the arc was instrumental for the Lady Vols. Midway through the fi rst half, she scored six points in 21 seconds to give UT a 32-19 lead. Not even two minutes into the second half, the Cavaliers had cut the Tennessee lead to 42-39, when Bjorklund converted a four-point play which silenced the record-crowd of 11,895. On the next play at the defensive end, she grabbed the rebound, came down the fl oor and found freshman Taber Spani for a three-pointer to put UT up 49-39. A trio of Tennessee sophomores also had a big impact on the win. Knoxville native Glory Johnson scored 14 points and grabbed six rebounds. In addition, Johnson was charged with defending Wright, who scored 35 against UT a year ago, but was held to 21 this time around. Shekinna Stricklen scored 20 points - her sixth career 20-point plus performance - grabbed eight rebounds and dished out a season-high six assists. Center Kelley Cain was limited to only six points, but her inside presence opened the perimeter up for the Lady Vol guards. Cain added six rebounds and six blocks, one off her career high and tied for third best in a single game for Tennessee. The Lady Vols owned the rebounding edge, 46-42, for the third time in as many games this season. UT’s 40 fi rst half points were its most in the fi rst 20 minutes this season.
