THE LOUISVILLE MATCH

This week, the No. 16 Lady Vols travel to Louisville, Ky., for a Wednesday match versus the Cardinals at the brand new KFC Yum! Center before returning home and host Mississippi State on Sunday.
Coming off a win over Florida on Friday, the Lady Vols outhit the Gators, .175 to Florida's .160, which marked the first time the Gator's have been outhit all year.

Wednesday's match at Louisville marks the eighth consecutive year that the Lady Vols and Cardinals have meet in a non-conference match.
After being on the road for eight SEC matches already this season, six of UT's last eight conference matches will be home at Thompson-Boling Arena.

A QUICK TRIP TO "THE `VILLE"

Tennessee has won at least 15 SEC matches each of the last three seasons leading up to 2011, finishing with 15 in 2008 and 2010 and 16 in 2009. Rob Patrick is 164-98 in his career in the SEC. In 13 of his 15 seasons, he led the Lady Vols to a .500 or better record against the conference. In 2004, Tennessee roared through the conference with a 15-1 record, tying for first in the SEC and winning the SEC Tournament a week later.
The Lady Vols finished off the first half of their SEC double round-robin schedule in first place with a 9-1 mark, which is their best record at the half way point since the conference went to the format in 2006.
With a monumental win over Florida and sweep over South Carolina this past weekend, Lady Vol freshmen Tiffany Baker and Mary Pollmiller were rewarded for their efforts. Baker was tabbed the SEC Offensive Player of the Week after notching double-doubles in each match and boosting her season averages in almost every category. Pollmiller, the Freshman of the Week, had 41 assists in a sweep of South Carolina, aiding UT to a season-high .446 hitting percentage versus the Gamecocks.
