TENNESSEE /// LADY VOLUNTEERS VOLLEYBALL 2011 MATCH NOTES 2011 SEASON SCHEDULE TO NOTE... A TOP-25 CLASH Following back-to-back home wins, the No. 18 Lady Vols begin another four-match SEC road trip on Wednesday, when they square off against No. 25 Kentucky in Lexington on ESPNU. The match will be a battle of the top two teams in the SEC East, as both squads rank in the top three in hitting percentage in the conference. By starting the season a perfect 8-0 against SEC schools, the Lady Vols have now won 11 straight matches this season and 11 consecutive conference matches dating back to last season. Tennessee will also make a stop in Starkville, Miss. on Sunday to battle Mississppi State. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT The wins continued this past weekend for the Lady Vols, who extended their winning streak to 11 matches with victories over Alabama and Ole Miss. By sweeping the Crimson Tide and gutting out a five-set nail bitter versus the Rebels, Tennessee (15-2, 8-0) is in the midst of its longest winning streak since 2004 and currently one of three teams nationally to have a current winning streak of 11 matches or better. By starting off the SEC slate with eight straight wins, the Lady Vols tied their best conference start all time. Against Ole Miss and Alabama, sophomore Kelsey Robinson registered her 11th and conference leading 12th double-doubles on the season. She led the team in both kills and digs against the Tide and Rebels, including notching her second 20-20 game of the season versus Ole Miss. Junior Leslie Cikra hit double digit kills in both matches on the weekend, blasting 13 versus UA and 16 against OM. Freshman Tiffany Baker provided a spark off the bench for UT, hitting a combined .393 on the weekend, highlighted by a hitting .444 against Alabama and registering 10 kills versus Ole Miss. Sophomore libero Ellen Mullins has recorded double digit digs in every conference match this season. OPPONENTS AT A QUICK GLANCE Tennessee has defeated the Wildcats in five consecutive matches, including downing UK on ESPNU a year ago in Knoxville. Prior to UT winning the last five matches versus UK, Kentucky defeated the Big Orange in five straight, spanning from 2006-08.

ALAN EDWARDS /// ASSISTANT COACHIn July, former Iona College head coach Alan Ed-

wards joined the UT staff as the team’s new assistant coach and recruiting coordinator.

“I am very excited about adding Alan to our coaching staff ,” Patrick said. “He brings a wealth of volleyball experience, both as a head coach and as-sistant coach from a number of Division-I programs, and is someone who I feel will be able to assimilate himself into our team very quickly.”

Edwards was most recently the head coach at Iona for the past fi ve seasons, where he led the Gaels to a 75-79 overall record and four appearances in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships.

During his time in New Rochelle, Edwards men-tored one of the top defensive players in NCAA history in Allison Neiters. One of the top volleyball performers in Iona College and MAAC history, she shattered the Iona and conference career record for digs with 2,682, the fi fth highest all-time total in the NCAA.

Neiters was named the 2007 and 2008 MAAC De-fensive Player of the Year and 2009 MAAC Libero of the Year, as well as the league’s Defensive Player of the Week 17 times during her career. She was also a three-time MAAC All-Academic Team and MAAC Honor Roll member, two-time CoSIDA Academic All-District selection and earned Iona’s Academic Merit Award for holding a 3.50 or above grade point aver-age.

RACHEL COOPER /// ASSISTANT COACHAfter a standout career at Mississippi State as a

player and coaching the past three seasons as an as-sistant at ETSU, Rachel Cooper joined the Tennees-see staff in May.

Prior to her time as an assistant coach at ETSU, Cooper served as a graduate assistant with the Buc-caneers, where she assisted in recruiting and coordi-nated team travel and community service.

“The thing that most impresses me about Rachel is her work ethic,” Patrick said. “I’ve gotten to know her in recent years when she has come to work our camps and I am very excited that we have been able to add her to our coaching staff . She has experi-ence in recruiting and understands the day-to-day responsibilities involved with running a high-level volleyball program.

“Rachel was also an outstanding player in the SEC and knows exactly what it takes to be successful at the highest level in our conference. Her personal-ity is very engaging and inviting, and I expect that our players will be able to easily relate to her.”

A Roscoe, Ill., native, Cooper was a four-year let-ter winner and starting outside hitter for the Missis-sippi State Bulldogs. A two-year captain and team Most Valuable Player, Cooper was also the fi rst Bull-dog athlete ever named SEC Player of the Week. She fi nished her career third all-time in kills with 1,405.

A LOOK AT THE 2011

COACHING STAFF

Two-time National Coach of the Year Rob Patrick has developed a tradition of excellence since com-ing to Tennessee 15 years ago. Following his arrival at Rocky Top, Patrick has become one of the nation’s top coaches and helped the Lady Vols attain levels of success never before reached in Knoxville, as evidenced by NCAA Tournament berths in six of the last seven years, including a run to the Final Four in 2005. His nine-year stretch of winning seasons from 1998-2006 marks the longest-such run in program history, topping the previous high of seven, set from 1978-84. The Big Orange has won 20 or more matches in seven of the last nine campaigns. Prior

to Patrick’s arrival at UT in 1997, the Lady Vols last recorded a 20-win season in 1988.

Patrick joined the UT program in July of 1997 after spending the previous three seasons as an as-sistant coach with national powerhouse Stanford. From 1994 to 1996, he helped lead the Cardinal to a combined 92-6 record and two NCAA champion-ships, including title-game victories over UCLA and Hawaii in 1994 and 1996, respectively.

During that stint, Stanford never lost a home match en route to participating in the 1995 NCAA Final Four and winning three consecutive Pac-10 titles.

A MONUMENTAL WINBy downing the No. 6 Gators on Sept. 25,

Tennessee broke Florida’s streak of 24 straight SEC wins, which dated back to their last conference loss in 2009 — which was also against Tennessee.

It’s been seven years since the Lady Vols defeated Florida on its home court, as the 2004 squad topped Florida in the regular season fi nale, then returned a week later to win again in Gainesville to capture the SEC Tournament crown.

FLORIDA DOESN’T LOSE AT HOMEFlorida’s loss to Tennessee was just its 21st defeat

at home since Head Coach Mary Wise took over the team in 1991, and just the 52nd loss at home in program history.

By being unoffi cially ranked No. 26 on Sunday, Tennessee is just the second unranked team to defeat Florida in Gainesville since 1991, and the fi rst in 17 years.

Now with 3 victories in Gainesville, no other team has more wins over the Gators at home under Coach Wise than the Lady Vols.

Below is a list to show just how rare it is for the Gators to suff er a defeat in Gainesville.

CAN’T MISS TELEVISIONTennessee games have aired 7 times on an ESPN

network over the years and the Lady Vols are 5-2 in those matches. Overall, the team has won 12 of their last 14 televised matches.

SCOUTING THE OPPONENTS KENTUCKYThe Kentucky volleyball team earned two more

victories last weekend to improve to 16-3 overall and 7-1 in SEC play. UK has lost just one match since August. Kentucky overpowered its two opponents with UK charting an above .300 hitting clip and holding its opponents to a mere .072 percentage. Kentucky’s defense quieted Alabama to a mere 16 kills on a -.012 hitting percentage. It marked the fi rst time a Craig Skinner team limited its opponent to 20 or less kills since 2008. The negative hitting percentage was also the fi rst this season for a Wildcat defense. Junior libero Stephanie Klefot led the charge for UK’s defense with an average of 4.43 digs per set to continue to set the standard for SEC defensive stalwarts. Klefot posted 31 total digs to move into fourth place on UK’s alltime career list. Sophomore Whitney Billings led the off ense with back-to-back 11-kill performance on a blazing .447 hitting percentage. Freshman Lauren O’Conner continues to provide a consistent off ensive hand as the Wildcats improved to 7-0 in league play when she posts eight or more kills.

MISSISSIPPI STATEWith wins in three of its last four matches,

Mississippi State closes out a four-match home stand this weekend when the Bulldogs (9-8/4-4 SEC) entertain a pair of nationallyranked SEC Eastern Division teams. State takes on No. 25 Kentucky Friday in a 7 p.m. “Maroon Madness” match in Humphrey Coliseum and then tests No. 18 SEC-leading Tennessee on Sunday. The MSU-UK match marks MSU volleyball’s fi rst competition in Humphrey Coliseum since the 2008 season. Senior outside hitter Caitlin Rance piled up a career-best 27 kills and moved into MSU’s career top 10 in kills in a 3-2 Sunday win over Auburn. The win helped MSU eclipse its 2010 SEC win total and earn a split of its weekend competition after bowing to Georgia 3-1 Friday night. Rance, second in the SEC in per-set average kills (4.31) and points (4.75), notched her eighth double-double of the year and raised her career kills total to 976. Freshman middle blocker Lainey Wyman hit .327 on the weekend with 22 kills, 22 digs and eight blocks en route to SEC Freshman of the Week honors. It is the second such honor for Wyman.

ELEVEN AND COUNTINGThe Lady Vols are off to a strong start this season

and are currently in the midst of an 11-match winning streak.

By defeating Alabama and Ole Miss this past weekend, Tennessee is currently has its longest winning streak since 2004, when that team rattled off 14 straight victories.

Tennessee is currently one of just four three nationally to have a streak of at least 11 straight wins. Like UT, No. 5 Nebraska also stands at 11, while and No. 8 Hawaii is currently at 10. No. 1 Illinois remains undeafeated, winning its last 17 matches.

MR. 300With a sweep over Georgia in the Southeastern

Conference opener on Sept. 16, Tennessee Lady Vol head coach Rob Patrick recorded his 300th career win, all of which have come at UT.

Patrick now has the highest winning percentage of any UT volleybal coach (.669), along with the most victories (307).

TAMING THE TIGERS AND GATORSBy topping LSU on Sept. 30 and downing Florida

Sept. 25, it is the fi rst time in school history that Tennessee has beaten both the Gators and Tigers on the road in the same season. The Lady Vols had not won in Baton Rouge since 2000, while the last UT victory in Gainesville came in 2004.

The Lady Vols have recorded

seven 3-0 victories this season.

Four have come at home,

while the other three were at

the Virginia Tech Invite and at

Arkansas.

AN OPPONENTS NIGHTMARESophomore Kelsey Robinson has been

tremendous through 15 matches, producing 10 performances of at least 20 kills so far this season. In nine of those matches, she has also recorded a double-double. (The list of 20 kills & doubles doubles is in the box on the right.)

No Lady Vol had as many 20-kill matches in all of 2010. All-American Nikki Fowler reached the mark four times last year to lead the team.

Meanwhile, Robinson has already surpassed her double-double total from last season, when she had fi ve matches with at least 10 kills and 10 digs.

Perhaps not suprisingly, she is a national leader off ensively. She leads the conference and ranks 11th nationally in kills per set (4.69). She also ranks sixth in Division I in points per set (5.49).

NIFTY 50Freshman Mary Pollmiller’s fi rst year in Orange

and White is off to a fantastic start. Because of injuries at the setter position, she has played all but a handful of points. Her average of average of 11.72 assists per set is the best in the SEC and also ranks eighth nationally.

She has nine matches of at least 50 assists this season, the last one coming in the Lady Vols’ fi ve-set comeback win against Ole Miss. This season she has also produced four double-doubles, registering 50 or more assists in three of those performances.

OFF TO A FAST STARTAfter taking care of business at home, sweeping

Georgia and Auburn in straight sets, winning four straight on the road and defeating Alabama and Ole Miss this past weekend, the Tennessee Lady Vols are off to their best conference start since 2004.

A win over the Wildcats on Wednesday would give the Lady Vols a 9-0 mark in league play, which would be the best SEC start in school history.

LADY VOL DUO GETS REWARDEDFor the fi rst time since Oct. 20, 2008, a pair of Lady

Vols in junior DeeDee Harrison and sophomore Carly

Sahagian were bestowed conference honors.On Sept. 26. Carly Sahagian was named the SEC

Off ensive Player of the Week, while Harrison earned the conference’s Defensive Player of the Week.

Sahagian was terrifi c against South Carolina and Florida, tallying 31 kills, 26 digs, three blocks and two services aces. She recorded double-doubles in both of those matches, and blasted a career-high 19 kills at UF.

Against USC and UF, Harrison was a standout all-around performer. She blocked a total of 12 attacks, with an average of 1.33 blocks per set and set career-highs in blocks assists and total blocks against the Gamecocks. Off ensively, she notched double-digits in kills in both matches.

RECOGNIZING THE HELPFor the second time in less than a month, Mary

Pollmiller was tabbed the SEC Freshman of the Week on Oct. 3 for her eff orts at LSU and Arkansas. Against the Tigers and Razorbacks, Pollmiller had a hand in 80 percent of the kills, tallying 92 of Tennessee’s 102 assists and added fi ve kills of her own.

She fi rst earned SEC Freshman of the Week on Sept. 12 following her outstanding setting performance in Blacksburg, Va. She is one of just two freshmen currently in the SEC top 10 in assists per set, as she leads the league in assists, averaging 11.72 assists per set.

NATIONALLY KNOWNKelsey Robinson has been an off ensive force

through 15 matches this season. Her play has caught the attention of both the Southeastern Conference and on the national level. On Monday she was named the SEC Off ensive Player of the Week, while Tuesday she grabbed Sports Imports/AVCA Division I National Player of the Week Honors for her eff orts this past weekend against Alabama and Ole Miss.

Robinson notched double-doubles in both matches this past weekend and now leads the SEC with 12th double-doubles. Versus the Rebels, Robinson recorded her second 20-20 game of the season, as she blasted 20 kills and had 20 digs. In a three-set sweep of Alabama on Friday, she registered 15 kills, 13 digs and three assists.

GOOD TO BE HOMEAfter spending 10 seasons in Stokely Athletics

Center, the Lady Vol volleyball team is in its fourth year playing in Thompson-Boling Arena on the banks of the Tennessee River.

Since beginning to play in the facility full-time in 2008, the Lady Vols are 41-7 in home matches, including a perfect 5-0 this season. Record at Thompson-Boling Since 2008

NEW COURTTo the casual observer, the Lady Vols’ court looks

very much the same as always with the checker-board orange and white beyond each baseline, but the playing surface is brand new.

The court was assembled for the fi rst time in Thompson-Boling Arena last week and is slightly el-evated off the ground, which makes for more spring on the court. The Lady Vols’ new practice court is also designed this way.

THE LADY VOLS’ HOME

THOMPSON-BOLING ARENA INDIVIDUAL CROWDSTOP 25 VOLLEYBALL CROWDS

The Lady Vols had 10 of their top 25 highest crowds during the 2010 season, including a season-high 1,431 against Florida on Sept. 19.

Twenty-one of Tennessee’s top 25 highest crowds have come in the four years since Thomp-son-Boling Arena became the team’s primary venue.
