ABOUT THE COVER The University of Tennessee volleyball program is know for being a tough opponent. Tough to defend, tough to attack, tough to beat, mentally tough, you name it. The 2009 season should be no different as Lady Volunteer Head Coach Rob Patrick has assembled a roster that plans to carry on the UT tradition of success. He has broken them down into their individual parts and fashioned them together into a group that is “Built Tennessee Tough.”

The University of Tennessee volleyball program is known for 25 service aces. With a year of experience running the offense and being tough. Tough to defend, tough to attack, tough to beat, an offseason in the team’s strength training program under her belt, mentally tough, you name it. The 2009 season should be no different even more will be expected out of her this season. as Lady Volunteer Head Coach Rob Patrick has assembled a roster “Kelsey probably made the biggest strides physically of any of our that plans to carry on the UT tradition of success. He has broken the players this offseason,” Patrick said. “Last year, her game was based on team down into its individual parts and fashioned it back together to more of her savvy, skill and competitiveness, which drove her game form a group that is “Built Tennessee Tough.” to a high level. The one thing she needed to get better at was to get For proof of that toughness, fans of the Orange and White need more physical, get stronger and get a little quicker, and she has done look no further than last season. Coming off an extremely difficult just that. I think she is going to be a much more consistent setter this year in 2007, Patrick and the Lady Vols could have easily used that as season, and I’m very excited to see how she develops. I think you are an excuse to justify future struggles. When their star middle blocker going to see a completely different player on the court. She’s going was lost for the season just four matches in, they could have packed it to be more comfortable in our program and will just be able to play, in and gone home.

2009 SEASON PREVIEW

and she is going to be the focus for many defenses around the SEC, so we have been trying to make her harder to defend. “One of the most impressive things about Nikki is that she is always looking to be the leader when the game is on the line. We have a lot of confidence setting her in those situations, but if other teams start to cheat on her, we can use her as a decoy to set someone else. She really opens things up for our team offensively. Part of our success last year, was because of the one-two punch we had with Nikki and Kylie playing middle-back defense. She covers a lot of court back there, which helped our defense immensely.” The second part of that six-rotation combo from 2008 is Marshall, a senior from Puyallup, Wash. After spending her freshman season at the libero position, Marshall has established herself as one of the team’s most efficient attackers, putting up a strong ratio of just one error for every 8.4 attacks over the past two years. Her top-notch passing skills, stellar defense and tremendous jump serve will also play large roles in any success UT has in 2009. “Kylie really blossomed last year,” Patrick said. “She’s always been a player with great skill and athleticism, and I believe she is one of the best middle-back defenders in the conference. Because of that, she really helped us be successful last year. “Offensively, she took some big strides. Part of that is her maturity as an outside hitter, along with us installing a tempo offense that allows her to be a little bit more successful. She’s very comfortable in her position and we are looking for a lot of leadership out of her this year.” Despite missing time due to injury during her freshman season, Jeter quickly made a name for herself as a consistent performer at outside hitter, seeing action in 19 contests and earning a pair of starts. The Solon, Ohio, product tallied a total of 27 kills on 108 swings and recorded 14 blocks. One of the team’s strongest players physically, Jeter will be asked to help make up for the loss of Milan Clarke, who graduated after finishing second on the team with 316 kills in 2008. “I’m very excited about Kayla’s development during the offseason,” Patrick said. “She’s a naturally strong, athletic player, but she did a very good job of working on her technical and tactical parts of her game last season. We are looking for her to take on an even bigger role in all six rotations for our team this year. She is a special player in that she can do it all, and do it at a very high athletic level. She can pass, she can dig, she has an outstanding solid block and is somebody who can bring some heat, not just outside on the pins, but she can hit all tempos in between the pins also. I’m very excited to get her fully installed in our offense. We know exactly what she is going to bring to the team each and every day.” Another player that could take over some of the offensive void left by Clarke is Cikra, a 6-3 freshman from Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Ranked as the No. 11-recruit in the nation by PrepVolleyball.com, Cikra brings a physical presence to the Orange and White attack. She also could earn time on the court at either the middle blocker or right-side positions depending upon how the battle at outside hitter shapes up. “Leslie is a multi-dimensional front-row player who can play either right-side, outside hitter or middle blocker and is already touching 10’4” even before going through our strength and conditioning program,” Patrick said. “She can play any of the three front-row positions effectively, can hit every tempo set and has the ability to hit off either one or two feet. She should make an immediate impact on our team.” Easily the deepest position on the UT roster, the Big Orange will have at least four strong options to put out at middle blocker in seniors Farren Powe and Carol Cheade, junior Leah Hinkey and redshirt freshman DeeDee Harrison, while the team’s top blocker from 2008, Alyssa Hilby, will redshirt this season after injuring her knee during the summer. One of Tennessee’s biggest surprises in 2008 was Powe, a 6-1 native of Mobile, Ala. After battling injuries her first two years in school, Powe emerged as one of UT’s top offensive players, recording the league’s highest hitting percentage in conference matches in 2008 with a .412 attack average. “I was excited to see Farren have a breakout year last season,” Patrick said. “That was really the first year she was able to stay virtually

GENERAL INFORMATION

“Chloe has been a rock for us at the libero position and the focal point of our defense for the last three years,” Patrick said. “She has tons of experience and did all the right things this offseason to put herself in position to have the best season of her career. She always has been a great defensive player, so she has really concentrated on improving her serve receive and ball control. Chloe is an extremely physical player and brings a lot of energy to the court with her every day. It’s not something that you can really quantify, but her vocal leadership has helped, and will continue to help, our team to be successful.” Another player that has made a strong case for more time on the court is Friday, a 5-7 sophomore from Springfield, Va. After seeing action in 16 contests as a freshman, she is primed to become the team’s top defensive replacement and serving specialist. “Amanda is really going to push for playing time this season,” Patrick said. “She has worked diligently in our practices to become tougher with her serve and more consistent in the passing game. Her work ethic has allowed her to improve on a daily basis, and I’m very comfortable putting her in a match as a defensive specialist or even at libero if we need her.” Although just a freshman, Brown has come on strong during fall practice with her never-give-up attitude and impressive work ethic. One of three native Tennesseans on the 2009 roster, Brown has shown the ability to lead a team, having guided Girls Preparatory School from Chattanooga to back-to-back Division II-AA state titles during her junior and senior seasons. Her sheer athleticism was evident on the track as well, where she claimed the Division II triple jump title as a senior. “Jasmine may be one of the most athletic players on our team,” Patrick said. “She has a wide range of athletic abilities, as shown by her prowess in both volleyball and track and field during her high school career. Although she will be behind a little bit experience-wise this season, I think that her athleticism will allow her to catch up quickly. We feel that she will develop into a player who will be able to help us at both the defensive specialist and setting positions.” Another talented freshman set to make her mark on the UT program is Smith, a 5-11 graduate of Hutchison H.S. in Memphis. Although the plan is to have her eventually work her way into the rotation at the outside hitter position, Smith will open her career at Rocky Top in the back row, where her height and advanced defensive skills can be best utilized. The all-time Tennessee high school career record holder with 2,560 kills, Smith was named a 2008 PrepVolleyball. com All-American and earned first-team all-state honors on three different occasions. “As Rebekah gains strength and knowledge of our offense, we may provide her with a bigger role offensively, but, at the beginning of her career, we will really focus on having her help us in the back row,” Patrick said. “To have somebody in the back row as tall as Rebekah is will give us the ability to cover more court and improve our overall team defense. She also has a very good jump serve which we are looking forward to using as a weapon for our team.” Arguably the most versatile group of athletes on the 2009 Tennessee roster is found at the outside hitter position, where three potential six-rotation players can be found. In addition to the previously mentioned Fowler, Patrick will also look to senior Kylie Marshall, sophomore Kayla Jeter and freshman Leslie Cikra to provide the majority of the squad’s offensive firepower. After putting up one of the most productive freshman seasons in UT history in 2007, Fowler followed it up with an even more impressive sophomore campaign as she became the Lady Vols’ go-to weapon offensively. Through two seasons, she currently ranks second in the Tennessee record book with a career average of 9.61 attacks per set and eighth with 3.45 kills per set. “What is really exciting about Nikki is that she really hasn’t reached her full potential even after all of the awards she has won,” Patrick said. “I’m excited about seeing her take another step in her growth. She has worked diligently in the weight room, which is where she had the most room to grow. We also have worked on adding a more consistent jump serve and helping her remain consistent in the passing game. What she gets noticed for is her great attacking ability

One of the team’s most versatile players, senior Kylie Marshall will be looked upon to lead the Lady Vols in 2009.

injury-free, and we saw the athleticism that she can bring to the court. Although she will play mostly in the middle, she also has the ability to take swings at some different areas along the net. She’s quick, can get off the ground and can get high enough, so we just needed to work on some technique to make her a more consistent blocker and a more complete player.” Entering her fourth season at Rocky Top, Hinkey will be looking to bounce back from a season-ending knee injury suffered just four matches into the 2008 campaign. A starter in both of her first two seasons, Hinkey has a total of 552 kills and ranks second in school history with an average of 1.30 blocks per set. “Leah has worked as hard as anyone on our team this offseason, although most of her work was done off the court as she rehabbed from her knee injury,” Patrick said. “She has put herself in great physical condition, however, and I expect her to provide an immediate impact this season. The two years that she started for us earlier in her career will really help her quickly transition back to a high level of play. She is somebody that we can move around and will provide more flexibility in our offense. We plan on playing her on the right side more often this season, which could create some match-up problems with other teams because of her ability to attack off of one foot. ” A senior from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Cheade will be looked at to provide experience and leadership both on and off the court in 2009. She has played in 45 matches in her career in Knoxville, totaling 48 kills and 35 blocks. “Carol was afforded a tremendous opportunity this spring as she was able to take every practice rep with our starters,” Patrick said. “She has worked extremely hard on becoming a more consistent blocker, and I am very encouraged by her development. She has always had a nice, natural arm swing, which provides us with some options offensively for her, as she can play either in the middle or on the right side. As a senior, nothing is going to bother her, and she can be a calming force on the court.” Tied with Cikra as the tallest player on the Lady Vol roster at 6-3, Harrison gained valuable experience on the court while redshirting last season. The knowledge she picked up will only help her to develop her raw athletic ability into techniques that can be utilized in match play. “DeeDee is easily our most physical player at the net,” Patrick said. “She can be very effective offensively out of serve receive and our plan is to add things to her game in transition. At some point in her career she is going to be a dominating blocker; she just needs to gain more match experience. She is going to cause some match-up problems because of her physicality in the middle and how high she plays over

the net, along with how hard she is able to contact the ball.“ After stepping in for the injured Hinkey just four matches in to the 2009 season, Hilby was phenomenal, topping the squad with 117 blocks and finishing fourth in the SEC with an average of 1.16 putbacks per set during league action. She will redshirt in 2009, however, as she tore her multiple ligaments in her left leg during the offseason. “Alyssa stepped in to a tough situation last year and really helped to solidify our net play with her tremendous blocking abilities,” Patrick said. “Overall, she had a great freshman season and gained a lot of valuable experience. We will redshirt her this upcoming season due to her injury, but are looking forward to her coming back at full strength in 2010.” As always, Tennessee will face a challenging schedule this fall. The Lady Vols will play a total of 30 regular-season matches, including 13 at home at Thompson-Boling Arena. “We’ve set up a very challenging and comprehensive schedule,” Patrick said. “We have high hopes for our team, and this schedule reflects that. We made it a point to schedule teams that have been successful in recent years, and we will have to play good, solid volleyball in order to win from the first day of the season on.” UT will square off against a total of 20 different teams, including nine which participated in the NCAA Tournament and four which finished the 2008 campaign ranked among the top-25 teams in the nation by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. The Big Orange will christen the season by hosting the seventh annual Comcast Lady Vol Classic, Aug. 29 and 30 at ThompsonBoling Arena. The Lady Vols will welcome three teams: 2008 Ohio Valley Conference champion Tennessee Tech, Sun Belt Conference Tournament champs Western Kentucky and Atlantic Sun runner-up Lipscomb. Following their home tournament, the Lady Vols will travel to Cincinnati, Ohio, for the Xavier Invitational, to be held Sept. 4-5 at the Cintas Center. The Orange and White will open its road schedule against back-to-back NCAA Sweet 16 participant Michigan before squaring off versus Notre Dame and host Xavier over the course of the next two days. Tennessee will then make the trek to Chapel Hill, N.C., where it will compete in the Carolina Classic, Sept. 11-13, beginning with a Friday evening contest against the host Tarheels. UT will then finish off its tournament slate against Marshall and Colorado State, which ended the 2008 campaign ranked 24th in the nation after a loss to Florida in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the following day. The Southeastern Conference portion of Tennessee’s schedule will begin on Friday, Sept. 18, when it travels to Baton Rouge, La., to take on LSU, before returning home for a pair of matches against Arkansas and Ole Miss the following week. The Big Orange will then finish off its non-conference schedule with a mid-week showdown on the road at Louisville on Wednesday, Sept. 30. The Lady Vols will close out the season with 17 consecutive league contests, highlighted by a pair of matches against 2008 conference champion Florida, as well as a pair of mid-week match-ups against border-rival Kentucky. The Gators advanced to the Sweet 16 before falling to national title runner-up Stanford, while the Wildcats tallied an impressive 26-6 overall record and finished second in the SEC. “Last season, I felt that the SEC was a very young conference,” Patrick said. “The fact that everyone is one year older now just means that these young athletes are becoming better volleyball players, which will only help the level of play continue to rise. The conference, as a whole, will present even more of a challenge than last year because of this. The teams that play with the most consistency will be the teams that are successful. “I think this is going to be one of the most wide open years that you will see in SEC volleyball,” Patrick said. “There will be no easy wins in the SEC this season. It will be extremely important to win at home and then try to go steal some wins on the road.” By season’s end, Patrick’s plan is to have all of the pieces and parts of Tennessee’s tough-minded and match-tested athletes form a winning vehicle to carry the team into a successful postseason campaign. Everyone on Rocky Top knows that Lady Vol volleyball is “Built Tennessee Tough” in 2009.

2009 SEASON PREVIEW

13th Year at Tennessee

TWO-TIME NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR Following a memorable 2005 season, Tennessee Head Coach Rob Patrick claimed his second consecutive National Coach of the Year award, earning the distinction from Vball Magazine. The previous year, CVU.com presented him with the honor. The 2004-06 seasons stand as arguably the greatest trio of consecutive campaigns in Lady Vol history. During that time, Patrick’s squads amassed an amazing 76-24 (.760) record. The 2004 team set the school record for highest winning percentage with a 32-3 (.914) record and Patrick led his 2005 squad (25-9) further into the NCAA Tournament than any other UT team had ever gone, reaching the Final Four. In both years, Tennessee was ranked among the top 10 in the USA Today/CSTV Top 25 Coaches Poll, finishing sixth in the nation in 2005, and soaring to as high as ninth in 2004 before ending in the 10th slot. The previous high for the Big Orange had been 13th, reached three times during the 1983 season.

Two-time National Coach of the Year Rob Patrick has developed a tradition of excellence since coming to Tennessee 12 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 four of the last five years, including a run to the Final Four in 2005. With an impressive 22-10 record in 2008, the Big Orange now has won 20 or more matches in five of the last seven campaigns and has done so six times in a nine-year span. Prior to Patrick’s arrival at UT in 1997, the Lady Vols last recorded a 20-win season in 1988. His nine-year stretch of winning seasons from 1998-2006 marked the longest-such run in program history, topping the previous high of seven, set from 1978-84. Following a tough 2007 season, the Lady Vols regrouped to post the third-largest turnaround in NCAA Division I in 2008. Under Patrick’s direction, UT doubled its win total from 11 to 22 and returned to the NCAA Tournament after a oneyear absence. For his efforts, Patrick was named the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) South Region Coach of the Year, as well as the Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year, for the second time in his career. The Big Orange finished the 2008 campaign strong, winning 12 of its last 14 matches and earning its fourth bid to the NCAA Tournament in the past five seasons. In SEC action, Tennessee put up a solid 15-5 record to finish third behind only nationally-ranked Florida and Kentucky. During his 12-year tenure at Rocky Top, Patrick has compiled an impressive 243-135 (.643) record, and he became the program’s all-time winningest coach with a 3-0 victory over Auburn on Oct. 3. Under Patrick’s guidance, seven different student-athletes have been named All-Americans on a total of 13 occasions, including Nikki Fowler who claimed honorable mention honors from the AVCA upon the conclusion of her sophomore season in 2008. Prior to her award, the last players to accomplish the feat were Yuliya Stoyanova and Sarah Blum who both picked up AVCA Honorable Mention accolades as well, following the 2006 campaign.

In 2005, four Lady Vols earned national distinction for their achievements on the court. A pair of seniors, middle blocker Kristen Andre and libero Amy Morris, both claimed All-America status from Vball Magazine, being named to the first and third teams, respectively, while fellow classmate setter Julie Knytych, sophomore outside hitter Stoyanova (both honorable mention) and Andre (second team) also earned AVCA All-America status. Those awards came on the heels of the program’s first ever appearance in the NCAA Final Four and highest year-end ranking in school history. During that memorable year, the Lady Vols fought past some early season obstacles and compiled a stellar 25-9 overall record, finishing sixth in the nation after falling to eventual national champion Washington in the national semifinals of the NCAA Tournament in San Antonio, Texas. For his efforts, Patrick was named the 2005 NCAA National Coach of the Year by VBall Magazine. The season before its run to the Final Four, Tennessee put together an equally impressive season in which it emerged victorious in a school-record 32 matches, while dropping just three contests all year. The Lady Vols accomplished a number of goals in 2004, including winning an SEC regularseason title for the first time in school history, defeating Florida, 3-2, on the final day of the season to tie the Gators with identical 15-1 marks. Just a mere seven days later, the Orange and White made it two titles in two weeks, topping UF, once again by a 3-2 score, in the SEC Tournament championship match. A couple of weeks following that accomplishment, the Big Orange won a pair of NCAA Tournament matches for the initial time in Tennessee annals and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time in 20 years. Based on the team’s fast rise to prominence, Patrick was awarded both the AVCA South Region and the SEC Coach of the Year awards, as well as CVU.com National Coach of the Year honors. He was also a finalist for the AVCA National Coach of the Year award. Under his tutelage that season, four Lady Vols earned All-America honors, including juniors Knytych (third team), Morris, Andre and senior outside hitter Michelle Piantadosi (honorable mention). In addition to the seven All-Americans that he has coached, 29 players under Patrick’s guidance have been selected to All-SEC teams in the past 12 seasons, including the 2004 SEC Defensive Player of the Year Morris and 2007 SEC Freshman of the Year Fowler. The success of the Tennessee volleyball program is not limited to on-the-court action, however, as 44 UT volleyball student-athletes have earned a spot on an Academic All-SEC list a total of 82 times during Patrick’s tenure. Another testament to Patrick’s coaching ability is the fact that he was chosen as the head coach for the USA/Bring It Promotions u20 Development Team at the European Global

Additionally, he was chosen to coach at the USA Volleyball 14-and-under Junior Development camp in San Jose, California. As a club coach, Patrick was active with two highly-successful programs. From 1994 to 1996, he was head coach of the top 16-and-under age team for the Griffin Volleyball Club in San Jose. That team qualified for, and played in, the top division of the Northern California USVA juniors program. It also qualified as one of 48 teams for the 1996 Junior Olympic volleyball tournament in San Jose. Prior to that, he was head coach of the 17and-under squad and assistant coach for the 18-and-under team from 1987 to 1994 with the South Bay Volleyball Club in Manhattan Beach, Calif. From 1990 to 1994, his junior age group squad finished in the top 20 out of more than 200 teams at the Nike Festival volleyball tournament in Davis, Calif. In 1993, the 18-and-under team he helped coach won the tournament championship at Davis. From 1991 to 1994, more than 20 of his former club players earned NCAA Division I volleyball scholarships to schools in conferences such as the Pac-10, SEC, ACC, Big West and West Coast.

MEET THE 2009 LADY VOLS

The University of Tennessee and head volleyball coach Rob Patrick announced the hiring of Dani Busboom as the team’s new assistant coach in March 2009. A former standout player at Nebraska, Busboom brings a wealth of experience to Rocky Top, having guided the Huskers to three conference championships, two NCAA finals appearances and a national title during her fouryear career in Lincoln. Busboom will work with all facets of the UT volleyball team, including training the team’s setters, coordinating its travel and equipment needs and running the school’s summer volleyball camps. She also will have additional responsibilities with recruiting and tape breakdown. Busboom was the ultimate team player during her career at Nebraska, transitioning to libero during her senior campaign after starting at the setter position the previous three seasons. A four-year starter, she concluded her career as one of only two players ranked among the top-10 in NU history in both digs and assists, finishing second on the digs chart with 1,281 and third in career assists with 2,925. The Cortland, Neb., native guided the Huskers to a 124-10 record, the best four-year mark in school history, three Big 12 titles, two NCAA finals appearances and a national title in 2006. During her senior season, Busboom set the Nebraska singleseason digs record with 580 scoops in her first year as the team’s starting libero. She was named the 2006 Big 12 co-Libero of the Year after leading the conference with 5.04 digs per game and reaching double figures in digs in 32 of 34 matches, including a 21-dig performance in the national championship win over No. 2 Stanford. Not all of her accolades came on the court, however, as she also excelled in the classroom.

PATRICK ON CHEADE: “Carol was afforded a tremendous opportunity this spring, as she was able to take every practice rep with our starters. She has worked extremely hard on becoming a more consistent blocker, and I am very encouraged by her development.

FARRENPOWE

Middle Blocker/Outside Hitter 6-1 • Senior-3L Mobile, Ala. McGill-Toolen Catholic H.S.

PATRICK ON POWE: “I was excited to see Farren have a breakout year last season. That was really the first year she was able to stay virtually injury-free, and we saw the athleticism that she can bring to the court. Although she will play mostly in the middle, she also has the ability to take swings at some different areas along the net. Offensively, we definitely need to find her in side-out and transition opportunities. We really made that a point of emphasis in the second-half of the season and that was one of the reasons we were able to finish so strong. The one thing that we really worked on with her is her blocking. She’s quick, can get off the ground and can get high enough, so we just needed to work on some technique to make her a more consistent blocker and a more complete player.”

#55 Nikki Fowler

NIKKI FOWLER Outside Hitter 6-2 • Junior-2L Dallas, Texas Plano West H.S.

PATRICK ON FOWLER: “What is really exciting about Nikki is that she really hasn’t reached her full potential even after all of the awards she has won. I’m excited about seeing her take another step in her growth. She has worked diligently in the weight room, which is where she had the most room to grow. We have also worked on adding a more consistent jump serve and helping her remain consistent in the passing game. What she gets noticed for is her great attacking ability and she is going to be the focus for many defenses around the SEC, so we have been trying to make her harder to defend. One of the most impressive things about Nikki is that she is always looking to be the leader when the game is on the line. We have a lot of confidence setting her in those situations, but if other teams start to cheat on her, we can use her as a decoy to set someone else. She really opens things up for our team offensively. Part of our success last year, was because of the onetwo punch we had with Nikki and Kylie playing middle-back defense. She covers a lot of court back there, which helped our defense immensely.” 2008 (SOPHOMORE): Only unanimous AllSEC First Team selection...Earned honorable mention All-America honors from both the American Volleyball Coaches Association and CVU.com...Was also named to the AVCA All-South Region accolades...Continued to improve after earning SEC Freshman of the Year honors in 2007...Was the only Lady Vol to start all 32 of the team’s matches...Sat out just one set all season...Paced UT in kills in 22 of its 32 matches...Led the team with 427 kills, 3.62 kills per set and 1,139 attacks in 2008...Also ranked second with 24 aces, third with 278 digs and fourth with 77 blocks...

LEAH HINKEY Middle Blocker 6-1 • Junior-2L-RS Glenwood Springs, Colo. Glenwood Springs H.S.

PATRICK ON HINKEY: “Leah has worked as hard as anyone on our team this offseason, although most of her work was done off the court as she rehabbed from her knee injury. She has put herself in great physical condition, however, and I expect her to provide an immediate impact this season. The two years that she started for us earlier in her career will really help her quickly transition back to a high level of play. She is somebody that we can move around and will provide more flexibility in our offense. We plan on playing her on the right side more often this season, which could create some match-up problems with other teams because of her ability to attack off of one foot. ”

COACHES AND STAFF

PATRICK ON MAHONEY: “Kelsey probably made the biggest strides physically of any of our players this offseason. Last year, her game was based on more of her savvy, skill and competitiveness, which drove her game to a high level. The one thing she needed to get better at was to get more physical, get stronger and get a little quicker, and she has done just that. I think she is going to be a much more consistent setter this season and I’m very excited to see how she develops. I think you are going to see a completely different player on the court. She’s going to be more comfortable in our program and will just be able to play. She wasn’t able to do that last year because she had to spend so much time learning a new system. If she ends up becoming a great leader, it could change the whole dynamic of our team.”

She has a wide range of athletic abilities, as shown by her prowess in both volleyball and track and field during her high school career.

She can be very effective offensively out of serve receive and our plan is to add things to her game in transition. At some point in her career she is going to be a dominating blocker, she just needs to gain more match experience. She is going to cause some matchup problems because of her physicality in the middle and how high she plays over the net, along with how hard she is able to contact the ball.“

She is somebody that can make all of the sets, will add depth this year and, as she gains strength and experience in our system, will be a player that can really help us to continue to be a successful program.“

When University of Tennessee Head Coach Rob Patrick looked at his roster before the 2008 campaign, he saw something that almost no one else did, a solid group of “Rising Stars” ready to burst onto the scene. As centuries of research has determined, the formation of a star begins with a gravitational instability inside a molecular cloud. That instability occurred in 2007, when injuries, inconsistency and inexperience plagued the Lady Vols, resulting in an 11-18 record. Without that rough season, however, the group of stars that emerged last season may never have been. Topping the list of players that put forth stellar seasons in 2008 were sophomore Nikki Fowler and junior Chloe Goldman. A native of Dallas, Texas, Fowler became the ninth All-American in school history when she awarded honorable mention accolades from both the American Volleyball Coaches Association and CVU. com. Along with Goldman, Fowler was also named to the AVCA All-South Region Team in addition to being the only player to earn a unanimous selection to the All-Southeastern Conference First Team. She finished her sophomore season ranked second in the conference with 3.80 kills per set. For the year, she led UT in kills (427), kills/set (3.62), attacks (1139), points (493.0) and points/set (4.18). Goldman, meanwhile, has been Tennessee’s top defensive player over the past two seasons, starting at the libero position in 59 of its last 60 matches. In 2008, the Monterey, Calif., native UT libero Chloe Goldman was spectacular in her junior campaign, recording the second-highest single-season dig total in school history with 511. That ranks behind only her 2007 total of 628. She also sits on top of the Lady Vol career digs per set chart with an average of 4.21.

finished with the second-highest dig total in school history, accumulating 511 scoops. That mark falls behind only her own record of 628 digs set last season, while her average of 4.56 digs per set ranks third all-time in the program’s single-season annals. The 5-6 junior also served as one of UT’s top passers, recording just 16 reception errors in a team-high 639 attempts for a stellar .975 average. She also finished third on the squad with 88 assists and fourth with 21 service aces. For her career, Goldman sits on top of the Lady Vol digs per set chart with a three-year average of 4.21 and ranks third in career digs with a total of 1,187. She needs just 288 more digs to surpass Kristy Dobson’s school record of 1,474, which she set from 1988-91. Also earning postseason recognition was Patrick, who took home both the SEC and AVCA South Region Coach of the Year awards after leading Tennessee to a 22-10 record and its fourth berth in the NCAA Tournament in five seasons. Both of the awards were the second of Patrick’s career as he was also named the recipient for both in 2004. With an improvement of 11 wins from the 2007 season, Patrick guided his squad to the third-largest turnaround in NCAA Division I. The 2008 season got off to a strong note for the Lady Vols as they traveled to Milwaukee, Wis., for the Marquette Kickoff Classic, where they tallied a trio of wins to claim the tournament title. The Big Orange opened the campaign with a dominating,

weekend. Little did anyone know, however, that the tide was about to turn for the Big Orange. What looked like a routine mid-week contest at East Tennessee State was anything but, as Clarke paced a nearly unstoppable UT offense with a career-best .812 hitting percentage and 13 kills in the three-set sweep. From that moment on, it was as if a switch had flipped for the Tennessee volleyball team which would proceed to go on a nine-match winning streak, dropping just a single set during that span. Although Florida was able to come to Rocky Top and stop the spree on Nov. 14, the Lady Vols scored yet another statement victory just two days later against South Carolina. After dropping two of the first three sets in the match televised by FOX Sports, it seemed as if the Orange and White was on its way to its second straight defeat. The team had other ideas though, bouncing back to win the final two frames by healthy margins. Five different Lady Vols either tied or set new season highs in the contest, led by Fowler’s 22-kill effort, which matched her previous high for the year. Freshman Alyssa Hilby, meanwhile, set a career high with eight blocks in the contest, while fellow classmate Kelsey Mahoney and senior Mindy Flynn tied their personal bests with 34 assists and six digs, respectively. Flynn also tallied 11 kills and tied her season-best with seven blocks, which increased her career total to 307 putbacks, moving her past April Chapple’s mark of 306 for 10th-place in the Tennessee career record book. After narrowly squeaking by a scrappy Auburn team on the road the next weekend, the Lady Vols made the trek up I-75 to Lexington to pay a visit to the Kentucky Wildcats in the

3-0, sweep of Chattanooga on Aug. 29 before picking up a hard-fought, 3-2, decision over Houston the following day. Tennessee then dispatched host Marquette in four sets to win the tournament. Fowler was named the MVP of the competition after leading the team in kills in all three contests. Junior Kylie Marshall and senior Milan Clarke were also tabbed to the all-tournament team. Unfortunately, the news was not quite as good the following weekend in Denver, Colo., where the Lady Vols were taking part in the Pioneer Classic at Denver University. Just halfway through the first set in her return to her home state, junior Leah Hinkey tore her ACL and was lost for the season. With the team’s lineup in flux the rest of the weekend, UT struggled and fell to .500 on the year with a trio of losses. Needing to get back on its feet after suffering a staggering blow, Tennessee returned home for the sixth annual Comcast Lady Vol Classic. After making quick work of Gardner-Webb in their home opener, the Lady Vols came up just short of an upset bid over No. 17 Illinois, but was still able to tie for the tournament championship by defeating a solid Dayton team in a five-set thriller on Sun., Sept. 14. The Big Orange opened SEC play the following weekend, sweeping Mississippi State and winning 3-1 over Alabama at home. Still struggling to find its identity after losing Hinkey, UT dropped four of the next seven matches. One of those three victories, however, came on Oct. 3 at home against Auburn, making Patrick the all-time winningest coach in Lady Vol volleyball history. The team was unable to use that to jumpstart their season though, and dropped back-toback road decisions at South Carolina and Florida the next

regular season finale for both teams on Nov. 28. Despite having to deal with the emotion of UK’s “Senior Day” and the prevailing thought that it had to win the match to earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament, Tennessee showed few if any jitters even after falling behind two sets to one once again. For the second time in just under two weeks, Tennessee mounted a furious rally to win the final two frames and the match. Once again, Fowler led all players with 24 kills, while Flynn, Clark and junior Farren Powe all reached double digits in putaways. That victory gave the Big Orange a little breathing room on selection night for the NCAA Tournament when it was announced that UT would travel to Clemson, S.C., to take on the host Tigers in the opening round. The berth marked the team’s fourth in five seasons. Playing in its school-record fourth consecutive five-set match, Tennessee fell just short in its bid to take out Clemson, concluding the season with a solid 22-10 overall record. Fowler recorded her seventh double-double of the season in the contest with a match-high 19 kills and 13 digs. Also reaching double-digits in kills was Clarke who tallied 13 putaways in the final match of her career. Goldman and Marshall, meanwhile, paced the squad defensively with 27 and 20 digs, respectively. For the season, Goldman recorded a total of 511 digs, good for the second-highest single-season total in school history behind only her 2007 mark of 628. She was also able to surpass former Lady Vol Amy Morris for the top spot on the career digs per set chart with an average of 4.21 per frame. While there weren’t many believers at the beginning of the year, the University of Tennessee volleyball team definitely proved itself to be a legitimate contender in 2008. With 10 letterwinners returning next season, all of which can now officially be classified as “Rising Stars,” the future looks bright in Big Orange Country.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Southeastern Conference

“THE STANDARD FOR EXCELLENCE” The Southeastern Conference, with its storied 77-year history of athletic achievements and academic excellence, has built perhaps the greatest tradition of intercollegiate competition of any league in the country since its inception in 1933. The 2008-09 academic year was another season to remember for the SEC, as conference teams captured five national titles and posted six national runner-up finishes. The SEC won consecutive national championships in football and gymnastics. Since 1990, the SEC has won 131 national team championships for an average of nearly seven per year. Florida won the SEC’s first national title of the year with its win in the BCS National Championship Game in football. It was the league’s third consecutive football national title. Georgia’s Gym Dogs won their fifth straight gymnastics championship. Auburn captured its eighth men’s swimming and diving national championship. Tennessee won its second national track & field championship since 2005, when the women’s indoor squad won the NCAA title. LSU claimed its sixth national championship in the sport of baseball. Florida finished first among Southeastern Conference schools and third overall in the NACDA Director’s Cup final standings. Overall, the SEC finished in the top two in 10 of its 20 sponsored sports and in the top five in 13 of the 20 sports. Eight SEC teams participated in football postseason bowls, with Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt winning the BCS National Title Game, Capital One, Liberty, Chick-fil-A, Cotton and Music City bowls, respectively. Three men’s basketball teams were invited to the NCAA Tournament, and seven women’s basketball teams were also invited to the “Big Dance.” The SEC had eight teams advance to postseason play in baseball, with four hosting super regionals and Arkansas and LSU advancing to the College World Series. With 150 teams advancing to NCAA postseason competition, the SEC continued to solidify its place as the nation’s premier conference. In addition to the five team championships, 53 SEC student-athletes garnered individual national championships, while 323 individuals were awarded with first-team All-America honors. Student-athletes around the league continued to excel in the classroom, as well, with more than 2,300 earning recognition on the SEC Academic Honor Roll. On the national all-sport level, the SEC placed nine teams in the top 40 of the NACDA Director’s Cup rankings. Florida led the league with a third-place finish. LSU placed ninth, while Georgia (18th), Tennessee (23rd), Arkansas (25th), Auburn (26th), Alabama (30th), Kentucky (34th) and South Carolina (39th) rounded out the league’s top-40 finishes.

GENERAL INFORMATION

2008 SEC Recap The Southeastern Conference continues to flourish as a solid and competitive league in women’s collegiate volleyball. In the last two decades, the SEC has made stellar contributions in volleyball. The conference has sent at least two SEC teams to the NCAA Tournament in every season the last 19 years. The SEC had a team reach the Final Four seven of the 10 seasons in the ‘90s with the league having a team advance to the regional final nine of those 10 seasons. Since 2000, the SEC has had a team reach the Final Four three times and a regional final four times. In 2008, Florida captured its 18th ever SEC Championship and made its 19th NCAA Tournament appearance, advancing to the regional semifinals. In all, four teams from the SEC made the NCAA Tournament, including Florida, Kentucky, LSU and Tennessee. Since the inaugural SEC volleyball championship in 1979-80, many changes have occurred in the conference with volleyball. The addition of Arkansas and South Carolina to the league in 1991 brought the divisional format to the sport with five teams competing in the Eastern Division and six teams in the Western Division. In 2009, the SEC entered into an unprecedented TV agreement with ESPN that will provide exclusive coverage of SEC athletics. In the arrangement, SEC volleyball will now be broadcast on three different platforms: ESPNU, FS South/Southwest/Sun Sports and CSS. Live SEC volleyball coverage can now reach into 46 million homes nation-wide on ESPNU, and in the SEC nine-state region, 22 million homes on FS South/Southwest/Sun Sports, and seven million homes on CSS.

SEC PLAYER OF THE YEAR

SEC COACHES BEACH VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS Beach volleyball was introduced to the collegiate scene by CBS College Sports Network with the Collegiate Nationals, an original event founded by the Network in the spring of 2006. That event is now in its fourth season. The coaches of the Southeastern and the Sunshine State Conferences followed with their beach tournaments in the spring of 2008. The popularity of those events along with others that sprang up spontaneously around the country helped lead to the NCAA’s Committee on Women’s Athletics to recommend in the summer of 2008 that sand volleyball be added to the emerging sports list for women. The Lady Vols have been a fixture in the winner’s circle at the SEC Coaches Beach Volleyball Championships over the past two years. The Big Orange put forth a strong showing at the inaugural competition in Gainesville, Fla., in 2008, highlighted by the duo of Milan Clarke and Laurén LaFlamme outdueling the pairing of Chloe Goldman and Leah Hinkey to earn the title in the Harvey Schiller bracket. In 2009, the pairing of Nikki Fowler and Kylie Marshall proved highly successful, as the Tennessee tandem won all four of its playoff matches to lay claim to the Gold Division championship in Siesta Key, Fla.

“The SEC Coaches Beach Volleyball Championships have been a terrific addition for the conference. Not only does it provide the potential for more athletic opportunities for young females, but it helps our current players further develop their skill sets for the indoor game in a fun, yet highly competitive atmosphere. I could not be more excited that the SEC is leading the charge to bring collegiate beach volleyball to the forefront, which I think is very important to the overall success of the game of volleyball, in general.”

2009 SEASON PREVIEW

NCAA CHAMPIONS

to lead the Lady Vols to a national tournament. She brought Tennessee back to the NCAA Championships as her squad concluded the season with an overall record of 18-13. The field had been expanded from 32 to 48 teams, and Tennessee hosted first-round action against Sam Houston State, posting a four-game victory. The Lady Vols then met up with a familiar foe, SEC-rival Georgia, in second-round action at Athens, Ga. Tennessee just missed out on an appearance in the “Sweet 16,” dropping a four-game decision to the Lady Bulldogs. The tournament field was again expanded in 1999, this time to 64 schools. From his experience as a part of two national championship teams at Stanford, head coach Rob Patrick used his postseason know-how to navigate the 2000 squad to the Lady Vols’ first NCAA appearance in seven years, just four seasons after taking the reins of the program. Patrick’s troops ventured to University Park, Pa., for a first-round match-up with the Washington State Cougars in the Pacific Region. UT’s young squad dropped a three-game match to WSU on Dec. 1. In 2004, the Lady Vols stormed their way into the NCAA tournament with a 30-2 record, before winning two tournament matches for the first time in UT volleyball history. Stokely Athletics Center welcomed in Eastern Kentucky, Texas A&M and Winthrop for its initial hosting of NCAA play. The Lady Vols swept EKU and topped the Aggies in four games to move on to the regional semifinals and a date with Ohio State. After the Orange and White claimed the first two games, the Buckeyes outscored the Big Orange the next three, including tight 30-26 and 15-12 results in the final two games, to finally put one of Tennessee’s best seasons in school history to an end. The Lady Vols made a return trip to the tournament in 2005. Having learned from their experiences the previous season, they were determined to go further than ever before. The Big Orange hosted the first two rounds for the second consecutive year, with Jacksonville State, Winthrop and 2004 national finalist Minnesota traveling to Stokely Athletics Center. After making quick work of the Gamecocks, Patrick’s squad found itself down late in the fourth set against the Golden Gophers. With their season on the line, the Orange and White were not going down without a fight and staged a stunning comeback to claim the five-game victory and advance to the next round to face Penn State. Once in Happy Valley, the Lady Vols continued their winning ways, ending the seasons of both the Nittany Lions and Missouri Tigers. The pair of victories clinched a visit to San Antonio, Texas, for the NCAA National Semifinals, where the team from Rocky Top was to take on Washington. The miraculous run, however, would finally come to an end as the eventual national champion Huskies proved too formidable a foe, taking Tennessee down in three sets. Patrick once again guided his charges to the NCAA Tournament in 2006, marking the third straight campaign in which UT reached the postseason. With a youthful squad, featuring seven freshmen and four sophomores, the Lady Vols gained valuable experience but were unable to overcome a tough Duke squad, falling in four games at Stokely Athletics Center. The Orange and White concluded the season with a respectable 19-12 overall record. Following a down year in 2007, Patrick led the Lady Vols back to the postseason for the fourth time in five years in 2008 after the team finished with a 15-5 record in SEC play and won 12 of its last 13 regularseason matches. UT didn’t have to travel far, venturing to Clemson, S.C., for the opening round of the NCAA Tournament where it dropped a heartbreaking, five-set decision at the hands of the host Tigers to finish the year with a 22-10 record.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Tennessee has appeared in national championship play in each of the last four decades dating back to 1973, when Kaye Hart’s Lady Vol squad posted a 38-6 mark for the season and ended up reaching what was then the AIAW national championship tournament. In pool play, the team downed Cincinnati and Illinois-Chicago, before falling to Oregon, Houston and Long Beach State to finish 15th in the nation. In 1981, Tennessee returned to the national scene for the first of four straight appearances in the NCAA Championships. Bob Bertucci’s team finished the season at 34-22 after a three-game loss to Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind. The next year, UT went 31-7 and registered its first-ever victory at the NCAA Championships, downing Northwestern in a thrilling five-set match. The Lady Vols then returned to West Lafayette for Mideast Regional action and were ousted by eventual NCAA runner-up Southern Cal. The 1983 season saw Tennessee post its third straight 30-win season with an overall record of 31-10. Battling the odds, the Lady Vols traveled to Tallahassee, Fla., for their first-round match against Florida State, dropped the first two games, and still emerged with a five-game victory. This time, UT was placed in the South Regional and journeyed to Austin, Texas, where eventual national champion Hawaii eliminated the Lady Vols in three games. The final season of Tennessee’s four straight NCAA appearances, 1984, featured a 25-11 slate and another first-round triumph. The Lady Vols hosted Eastern Kentucky and won in three straight games before traveling to Austin for the second year in a row. Again, that destination proved to be the end of the road for Tennessee as Texas pinned a four-game loss on the Lady Vols. Nine years later, in 1993, Julie Hermann became the third coach

It serves as the headquarters to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the nation’s largest public utility, and is known as a technology corridor of the Southeast.

Knoxville is located in the geographical center of the eastern United States and is within a day’s drive of half of the nation’s population. Knox County is situated at the crossroads of three major interstates, I-75, I-40 and I-81. Knoxville’s city population is 180,130 with a metropolitan area population of approximately 667,384, which includes Knox, Anderson, Blount, Loudon, Sevier and Union counties.

Knoxville is located in a temperate climate zone 936 feet above sea level, with an annual average temperature of 69 degrees. The annual average precipitation is 47 inches Knoxville’s McGhee Tyson Airport serves the East Tennessee region with more than 120 flights daily.

The Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, the only museum devoted to women’s basketball, is located in downtown Knoxville.

Knoxville was ranked the “best place to live in the United States and Canada” by the Places Rated Almanac among cities with a population of fewer than one million. The Sunsphere, built for the 1982 World’s Fair, is 266 feet tall. The actual ball itself houses five levels.

Famous Knoxvillians or UT graduates include the late James Agee, Ralph Boston, Dixie Carter, Tamika Catchings, Kenny Chesney, Mary Costa, Phil Garner, the late William Henry Hastie, Todd Helton, Chamique Holdsclaw, Allan Houston, David Keith, Johnny Knoxville, Peyton Manning, the late Lindsey Nelson, Dolly Parton, Quentin Tarantino, and Tina Wesson.

History Of lady Vol Athletics Though female athletes have competed at UT since 1903, they have been managed by a separate administration only since 1976. For over 30 years, athletics for women at Tennessee have enjoyed an enormous amount of growth and success. The department has been a model for other women’s programs across the country because of its competitive teams, outstanding facilities, quality staff members and excellent graduation rates among student-athletes. Intercollegiate athletics for women at the University of Tennessee officially began during the 1976-77 academic year. The UT women’s department had nine intercollegiate sports at that time, including basketball, cross country, field hockey, gymnastics, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. In the inaugural year, the staff numbered 17 and a budget of $120,000 serviced approximately 75 athletes. Despite the fact that field hockey and gymnastics are no longer a part of the department, growth in staff, budget and sports continually increased through the 1970s and into the 21st century. Under current athletics director Joan Cronan, nearly 85 staff members are on hand to support around 235 studentathletes. Cronan directs a department that posts an operating budget of nearly $11 million. With the passage of the Restoration Act of 1988, the original mandates of Title IX have been met at Tennessee with the annexation of four sports. Golf was the first added to UT’s plate in 1992. Rowing and softball joined the family during the 1995-96 season, and soccer, the 11th women’s intercollegiate sport at Tennessee, began play in the fall of 1996.

The 2008-09 academic and athletic campaigns for the University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers culminated with 128 of 226 studentathletes earning academic honors (an amazing 61 percent) while the Orange and White teams placed second in the Southeastern Conference All-Sports standings. In the field of competition, the overall winning percentage for all Lady Vol teams during the 2008-09 season was an outstanding 66.1 percent. A total of 45 All-American citations were earned by 24 Tennessee studentathletes. UT claimed the SEC and NCAA indoor track & field championships, the second national title for the Lady Vol indoor track & field team in the past five seasons. Ten of the 11 squads donning the Orange and White advanced to their respective NCAA Championships. The Lady Vol soccer team claimed the SEC Tournament title to earn its eighth straight NCAA tournament bid, while the doubles team of Caitlin Whoriskey and Natalie Pluskota reached the semifinals of the NCAA Tournament.

Tennessee Traditions NICKNAME The formation of the Women’s Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discussion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes. After long consideration and debate, it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as “Lady Volunteers” or “Lady Vols.” The University of Tennessee, as the state’s land grant university, draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state. Tennessee acquired the name “The Volunteer State” in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans. The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V. Brown issued a call for 2,800 men to battle Santa Anna, and some 30,000 volunteered. The name “Volunteers” or “Lady Volunteers” is frequently shortened to “Vols” or “Lady Vols” for the men’s and women’s athletic teams. MASCOT The official mascot is Smokey, a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953. The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons. The present Smokey, the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the family of the late Rev. W.C. Brooks of Knoxville, is appropriately called Smokey IX. Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot. At Lady Vol events, a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders. CHEERLEADERS Tennessee is one of a handful of women’s athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid. The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring.

ROCKY TOP Over 40 years ago, a husband-wife song writing team, Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg, Tenn., penned the song “Rocky Top.” Since that time, the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams.

Rocky Top

Wish that I was on ol’ ROCKY TOP, Down in the Tennessee hills; Ain’t no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP, Ain’t no telephone bills. Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP, Half bear, other half cat; Wild as mink, but sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that.

[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP, you’ll always be Home sweet home to me; Good ol’ ROCKY TOP-ROCKY TOP Tennessee.

Once two strangers climbed ol’ ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still; Strangers ain’t come down from ROCKY TOP, Reckon they never will. Corn won’t grow at all on ROCKY TOP, Dirt’s too rocky by far; That’s why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar.

SCHOOL COLORS The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore, a member of the first football team in 1891, and were later approved by a vote of the student body. The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profusion on “The Hill.” GRADUATION RATE The Women’s Athletics Department at the University of Tennessee is fully committed to the academic progress of each student-athlete in the Lady Vol program. When coaches recruit, they look for talented athletes who will work as hard in the classroom as they do during competition. In fact, nearly all Lady Vol student-athletes who have remained with the program through their senior years have earned, or are in the process of earning, their degrees. In addition, 620 Lady Vols have been awarded a sum of 1,211 Academic All-Southeastern Conference citations after 47 student-athletes joined the ranks in 2007-08. SPORTSMANSHIP Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredient for wholesome athletic competition. The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans, students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors. The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Raucous Lady Vol crowds have played a huge role in the success of the UT volleyball team on University’s reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at its home court over the past decade. The squad will compete in Thompson-Boling Arena for the second straight season after moving from Stokely Athletics Center following the 2007 campaign. sporting events.

LADY VOLS CHAMPIONSHIP ATTITUDE AND PERSONAL PRIDE...

HOW DOES THE COACHING STAFF INSTILL A CHAMPIONSHIP ATTITUDE IN YOU? “We talk about what it takes to be a winner and the difference between winning and losing every day at practice.” - Nikki Fowler “They help us develop our competitive nature through different drills in practice. We are arguably the most athletic team on campus, so they help us work on our competitiveness to, hopefully, give us a little extra edge.” - Leah Hinkey “They do a very good of pushing you to your maximum without exceeding your limits. Coach Patrick’s record speaks for itself and when you are part of his practices you realize how much he knows about the game of volleyball. He will make you into the best volleyball player you can possibly be.” - Emily Steinbeck WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT KNOXVILLE AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE? “The campus is beautiful and the support that women’s athletics receives is second to none.” - Alyssa Hilby “I love how the community supports its athletes. My favorite thing is that we have separate athletic departments and that they treat us amazing. You can’t really be homesick when you have so many people treating you so well.” - Leah Hinkey “Everyone here is really accepting and welcoming. They make sure that you know that they are here to support you and help you in any way that they can.” - Kayla Jeter “Everyone is so committed to the University of Tennessee and willing to do anything to support it. When I committed to come here, I knew it was full of school spirit and there was a lot of orange, but I never really believed it until I finally got to Knoxville.” - Natalie Guerra “I absolutely love it here! From the coaches, players, office workers, to the teachers, everyone has been amazingly nice and worried about how comfortable I am. I really feel at home and the sense of family that this team has is so nice.” - Rebekah Smith

THOMPSON-BOLING ARENA...

The Lady Vols will compete in Thompson-Boling Arena for the second straight season in 2009 after spending 10 years in Stokely Athletics Center. In its inaugural season at TBA, Tennessee wasted little time creating an atmosphere of home-court dominance, amassing an 11-3 record in its new home. The Big Orange christened the home portion of its schedule by hosting the sixth annual Comcast Lady Vol Classic, Sept. 12 and 14. In its first home match of 2008, UT secured a quick, three-set victory over Gardner-Webb. Although they would drop their next match in five frames to No. 17 Illinois, the Lady Vols tied for the tournament title when they tallied a five-set triumph of their own over Dayton. The move to Thompson-Boling had an immediate impact on attendance as well, as Tennessee recorded three of the 15 largest crowds in program history in 2008, including a crowd of 1,097 for the contest against Florida on Nov. 14. Overall, the Lady Vols increased attendance by nearly 10 percent over the previous year.

Although contests will be played at Thompson-Boling, the Lady Volsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home away from the dorm will continue to be located at Stokely Athletics Center where a locker room/ team room combination sits just feet off the practice court. In the team room, players can relax and take a break from it all, watching the big screen television from the comfort of the leather couch, or they can hit the books in the study area. Each Lady Vol also has her own personalized locker and stool in the spacious locker room.

THOMPSON-BOLING ARENA

After spending 10 seasons in Stokely Athletics Center, the University of Tennessee volleyball team made the short move to Thompson-Boling Arena prior to the 2008 campaign. One of the largest on-campus arenas in the country, Thompson-Boling Arena is located on the banks of the Tennessee River and was named for B. Ray Thompson and retired UT President Edward J. Boling. As part of a $19 million renovation of the arena in 2008, 32 luxury suites were added to the existing north balcony along with a loge area just below the suites that included 166 side court seats. A $3 million center-hung scoreboard, new black seats and several concourse refurbishments were also part of the renovation. A continuous-ring concourse encircles the building, permitting entrance to six concession areas and 32 portals that lead to the arena. The playing floor level provides access to team dressing rooms, the press rooms and storage rooms. Now in its second year at Thompson-Boling, the Lady Vol volleyball team plans to continue the tradition of home-court dominance that it displayed in Stokely, where it amassed an impressive 98-34 (.742) record from 1998-2007. Another tradition that the Big Orange has plans to continue at Thompson-Boling is that of record-breaking attendance. Although it has competed in TBA for only one full season, UT has already set three of the top four home attendance marks in school history, including a crowd of 3,311 that came to see the Orange and White take on Georgia on Oct. 28, 2005. In 2009, the volleyball configuration at Thompson-Boling will provide seating for up to 7,000 Big Orange faithful. This season, Tennessee welcomes Tennessee Tech, Western Kentucky and Lipscomb to the Comcast Lady Vol Classic, Aug. 29 & 30, in addition to playing host to 10 Southeastern Conference matches.
