KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - On Sun., Oct. 30, at the Lee Softball Stadium, the Tennessee Lady Vol softball team will close out its fall campaign by contesting a doubleheader against Walters State slated for 3 and 5 p.m. ET.
"This will give us the chance to see our freshman battery of pitcher Cheyanne Tarango and catcher Hannah Akamine in action during the opener," Lady Vol Co-Head Coach Ralph Weekly said. "We also have the opportunity to see the return of Pan Am Games gold medalist Lauren Gibson, who's been in Mexico with Team USA for the last few weeks. Walters State has sent a lot of players on to Division I programs, so we look forward to good competition against them on Sunday."
Tennessee will officially christen its 2012 schedule at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz., over Feb. 9-12. UT will open its stay at the prestigious event by facing UCSB on Feb. 9, at 6 p.m. PT.
