ROLLING IN THE DEPTH: Through four matches, Tennessee has seen seven different players score at least one goal in 2019. That mark ties with Arkansas and Alabama for second-most in the SEC behind South Carolina (8).

HOME COOKIN': With Tennessee's 3-0 win over Mercer on Aug. 25, the Vols are currently riding a seven-game home winning streak dating to Oct. 18, 2018 - spanning 321 days.
