TENNESSEE AT THE SEC TOURNAMENT
Since the tournament's inception in 1997, the Lady Vols hold a 27-24 overall record at the league's season ending competition and have made the championship game on three occasions.
Twice the Orange & White have left the SEC Tournament holding the trophy, doing so in both 2006 and 2011.
KIKI FINDING HITTING GROOVE AT THE RIGHT TIME
Sophomore outfielder Kiki Milloy went an impressive 6-for-7 at the plate in the opening two games against Missouri, while scoring four runs, knocking in a pair of RBIs and tacking on another stolen base to her resume.
She finished the regular season hitting .382 with 36 RBI, an SEC leading 36 stolen bases and a team-best 47 runs scored. Her 36 stolen bases are the most by a Lady Vol since Raven Chavanne stole 41 in 2013.
