2011 SEASON OUTLOOK native continued her impressive production at the plate in 2010 by hitting .350 with team highs in doubles (14), home runs (eight) and RBIs (58) on her way to Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region status. She led Tennessee with 17 multi-RBI games in 2010 to go along with 14 multi-hit efforts and will be expected to remain a key RBI-producer in the middle of the line-up for the Lady Vols in 2011. Having played 44 games at second base as a freshman last year without making a single error over 108 chances, Gibson will be expected to continue providing her consistent efforts on the interior of the infield into the new campaign. Also in possession of a powerful bat, the Pasadena, Md., product registered a .297 batting average last year with eight doubles, six HR’s and 29 RBIs in being tabbed to the SEC All-Freshman team. She even stepped up her play during the postseason, leading the Lady Vols during the WCWS by hitting .444. Lauded as the No. 2 recruit in the country by ESPN/RISE and hailing from the softball hotbed of California, Shipman is being penciled into the line-up as the starting shortstop entering her initial campaign at Rocky Top. She garnered ESPN/RISE first-team All-America honors in 2010, was a 2008 Louisville Slugger/NFCA Honorable Mention All-American and was both a 2008 & 2010 NFCA first-team All West Region selection. Shipman was named first team All-California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) as well as Cal-Hi Sports AllState and to the All-Foothill League Team in 2008, 2009 & 2010. Following her senior campaign (’10), she was chosen as the CIF Southern Section Division 1, The Santa Clarita Valley Signal and Foothill League Player of the Year. The 6-1 native of Valencia, Calif., was one of six finalists for the Cal-Hi Sports’ Ms. Softball State Player of the Year after hitting .444 overall with nine home runs, 39 runs scored, 32 stolen bases and 36 RBIs as a senior. She should also have instant chemistry with her teammate on the left side of the diamond (Spigner), as both played together on the 2007 USA Today National Championship squad at Valencia High School. “Madison is a tremendous young player who excels in all facets of the game,” Ralph Weekly said. “She owns a strong, accurate throwing arm, quick feet and soft hands, has the ability to hit for both average and power and will be expected to contribute immediately this season.” Thomas has been locked in a battle with several players at first base, among those Shelby Burchell and Davin, throughout the preseason. The former, a native of Warner Robins, Ga., wrapped up her senior season at Houston County High School with a .370 batting average and six home runs while guiding her squad to its fourth consecutive Region 1-5A title (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) and a Georgia Class 5A State runner-up finish. The 2009 Macon Telegraph All-Middle Georgia Softball Player of the Year, Thomas helped lead her high school squad to 102 overall victories over four seasons as well as the school’s initial “Elite Eight” appearance in the Georgia State Girls Softball Tournament in 2006 while starting 132 of her team’s 135 total games during her career. She was twice chosen first-team Georgia High School Association (GHSA) All-State (2008, 2009) and was selected first-team all-region three times (2007, 2008, 2009). “Kourtny is a strong, versatile athlete with soft hands and a strong throwing arm,” Ralph Weekly said. “She can play any infield position except second base, has the ability to hit for power and could eventualy challenge for a starting position this year.” Burchell hit .264 during her sophomore campaign in the Orange & White while recording four home runs and 23 RBIs over 48 games played (31 starts). Often penciled in at the designated player position, she did see eight games of action behind the plate, played four contests in the outfield during 2010 and is versatile enough defensively that she could easily start the season as the everyday first baseman. The Columbia, Tenn., product registered seven multi-RBI and three multi-hit contests last year, including back-to-back four-RBI efforts in victories over Campbell and Austin Peay. She enters her junior year with career marks of a .259 average, five doubles, nine HR’s and 48 RBIs and is expected to provide another power bat in the line-up and occasionally off the bench as necessary in a pinch-hit capacity. A native of Fresno, Calif., Davin demonstrated her impressive softball capabilities by breaking every major offensive school record at Clovis East H.S. The righthanded slugger concluded her senior campaign in 2010 with a .537 avg., 51 hits, 32 runs scored, eight doubles, six triples, 13 RBIs, 27 stolen bases and an .811 slugging percentage on her way to being tabbed as Cal-Hi Sports first-team All-State in California. She was a three-time Cal-Hi Sports All-State (2008, 2009, 2010), three-time all-county (2008, 2009, 2010) and four-time all-league (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) selection and even started the 2009 campaign a perfect 15-for-15 at the plate to set a CIF record. The only pitcher in Tennessee history not “A player that possesses all the tools, Melissa is a good named Monica Abbott to win 30 games in hitter and a solid corner player with a good arm,” Ralph a single season or pick up a victory at the Weekly said. “She is adapting to the college game and will WCWS, Ivy Renfroe enters her sopho- be a valuable player in the future.” more campaign as a preseason nominee One of the most valuable players on the team because for the 2011 USA Softball National Player of her versatility this season will be Melissa Brown. of the Year award.
As University of Tennessee Lady Vol softball co-head coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly venture into their 10th season at Rocky Top there is a perceptible buzz in the air. The duo has spent years building and shaping Big Orange-clad rosters that have come so very close to meeting the challenge of capturing a Women’s College World Series championship. Behind the leadership supplied by four valuable upperclassmen, the contributions of numerous talented newcomers and role players, and just the right schedule, everything aligned for a magical run that ended with a stunning third-place finish at the 2010 WCWS. Now this program, which endured two straight campaigns that ended short of expectations prior to last year’s WCWS appearance, believes it might be the time to witness a long-awaited goal to rise to the top of the collegiate softball world. Heading into the 2011 season, despite a Lady Vol squad which is long on youth but also exceptionally talented and full of depth, UT has plenty of hope that this could be the year to see the Tennessee flag staked at the very top of the collegiate softball mountain as the first Southeastern Conference program to win that elusive national championship. It’s a difficult assignment for certain, one that requires all the right pieces to fall into place at just the exact moment in time. In beginning its work toward that goal, 13 letter-winners return from last season’s third-place WCWS squad, including seven players that drew at least 31 starts last year. Tennessee also adds seven newcomers in what ESPN/RISE termed the nation’s No. 1 ranked recruiting class. Included among the returnees are Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-American sophomore outfielders Raven Chavanne (.455 avg., 64 runs, 37 steals) and Kat Dotson (.391 avg., 37 RBIs, 29 thefts), fellow NFCA AllSoutheast Region selections junior Jessica Spigner (3B, .350 avg., 14 doubles, eight HR’s, 58 RBIs) and sophomore Ivy Renfroe (P, 31-6 record, 2.41 ERA, 235 K’s in 232.1 innings), 2010 Southeastern Conference All-Freshman selection sophomore Lauren Gibson (2B, .297 avg., eight doubles, six HR’s, 39 RBIs) and past all region selection senior Kelly Grieve (CF, .373 avg., 59 runs, 12 doubles, 26 steals). “This is going to be an interesting and exciting year for Tennessee softball,” Lady Vol Co-Head Coach Ralph Weekly said. “It will be interesting because everyone on the roster can play, and almost every position is being challenged for each day in practice. It’s also going to be exciting because we could have numerous freshman or sophomores in the starting line-up.” In all Tennessee returns 75 percent of its run production, 77 percent of the hits, 71 percent of the doubles, 84 percent of the triples, 63 percent of the HR’s, 69 percent of the RBIs and 85 percent of the stolen bases from the 2010 WCWS team along with every single pitching victory. Starters return in all three outfield slots, two of the four infield positions (third and second base), at designated player and in the circle for 2011, while the expected everyday catcher gained valuable experience behind the dish during last season. Expected to contribute immediately, especially on the infield (shortstop and first base) and provide depth in the outfield, in the pitching circle and behind the plate is the high-profile group of freshmen including Madison Shipman, Ellen Renfroe, Tory Lewis, Ashley Holmes, Chelsea O’Connor, Melissa Davin and Kourtny Thomas. “We are really young with just one senior and only two junior position players who have started over half the games in their careers,” Ralph Weekly said. “We possess a lot of depth at every position now, especially in the circle. Both returning pitchers saw significant action in key games during the run to the WCWS and have worked hard in the off-season to improve. “We have been a top defensive team nationally for years, and I expect us to remain very good in that area this season. The SEC is a highly-competitive league that continues to get deeper every year, but I believe we are up to the challenge. I expect us to be extremely competitive, hard-working and motivated game-in and game-out during the 2011 season.”
INFIELD/CATCHING: The 2011 Lady Vol infield makeup will be a mixture of battle-tested veterans and high-profile, if collegiately inexperienced, freshman talent. Anchoring the “hot corner” will be a junior 2010 NFCA All-Southeast Region selection that possesses 117 career starts at third base, while a sophomore with 44 games (at the position) of experience is slated to open the year at second. A platoon is expected to be utilized at first base between a pair of highly-touted freshmen. Having guided NCAA Division I in fielding percentage on three occasions since 2005 and consistently rating among the top five nationally proves the Tennessee coaching staff knows how to get the most out the outstanding talent it has accrued across the diamond. Already among the UT career top 10 in home runs (22), slugging percentage (.612) and on-base percentage (.444) and closing in on the listing in both doubles and RBIs through her first two campaigns in the Orange & White, Spigner begins her third straight season as the everyday starter at third base.

LADY VOL CO-HEAD COACH RALPH WEEKLY 10th Year at Tennessee
At 966 career victories and counting venturing into his 24th year as a collegiate head coach, Ralph Weekly enters his 10th season at Tennessee with a prestigious new accolade to include on his already impressive resume. The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) has chosen to honor his efforts throughout a distinguished, three-decade career, that has spanned from his time in the U.S. Air Force through stops at Pacific Lutheran, Chattanooga and now Tennessee, with a 2011 induction into the NFCA Hall of Fame. Voted in by his coaching peers and with the organization consisting of just 49 previous inclusions, Weekly will join Ithaca Head Coach Deb Pallozzi in ceremonies to be held at the annual NFCA Convention slated for Las Vegas, Nev., late this year. Looking at his career from just a Tennessee standpoint, the honor would certainly appear well deserved. During their first nine seasons at the University of Tennessee, Weekly and his wife, Karen, have transformed the Lady Vols from a program searching for an identity into a formidable Southeastern Conference and national contender. Taking over the reins at UT following a 24-35 campaign in 2001, the Weeklys have steadily improved the Orange & White’s fortunes. They guided the Lady Vols through a three-year span from 2005-07 that saw the Big Orange top the 60-win plateau all three times and post both a runner-up finish (2007) and consecutive third-place national finishes at the Women’s College World Series (2005, 2006). This past season (2010) the Weeklys molded one of the youngest, if not the youngest, teams in the country into a 2010 WCWS participant that ended the year rated No. 3 in the country in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll after a third-place national finish. The duo has now led the Tennessee program to a staggering 465 wins since entering the league prior to the 2002 season, an average of almost 52 wins per year, and four WCWS berths over the last six campaigns. The 2010 slate proved a magical ride for an incredibly young squad made up of 19 players, including a total of 15 freshmen and sophomores. The Lady Vols registered a 49-15 overall record (making it eight straight 40+ win seasons) and truly peaked at the right time, rolling through their first seven games of the NCAA Tournament on the way to the program’s fourth WCWS berth and another third place national finish. Along the way in NCAA action, Tennessee swept Ball State, Virginia and Louisville during the Knoxville Regional, ended No. 2 Michigan’s two-year, 36-game home winning streak by sweeping two consecutive contests in the NCAA Ann Arbor Super Regionals and opened the WCWS with consecutive victories over No. 3 Arizona (9-0, 5 inn.) and No. 9 Georgia (7-5) before being eliminated by the Wildcats just one win from a berth in the best-of-three championship series. The youthful 2010 squad was guided by a quartet of upperclassmen, including senior catcher Tiffany Huff (NFCA All-South Region choice, .312 avg., seven HR’s, 45 RBIs), first baseman Erinn Webb (.318 NCAA Tourney avg., nine total HR’s, 34 RBIs) and designated player Nicole Kajitani (three doubles, three HR’s, 22 RBIs) as well as junior center field speedster Kelly Grieve (.373 avg., 12 doubles, 30 RBIs, 26 thefts). The team was bolstered, however, by a myriad of high-profile freshmen including Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American outfielders Raven Chavanne (.455 avg., 64 runs, 95 hits, 26 RBIs, 37 steals) and Kat Dotson (SEC First-Team selection and Co-Freshman of the Year, .391 avg., 54 runs, 66 hits, 37 RBIs, 29 thefts), NFCA All-Southeast Region choices -- pitcher Ivy Renfroe (31-6 record, 2.41 ERA, 15 complete games, 235 K’s in 232.1 IP) and third baseman Jessica Spigner (.350 avg., 14 doubles, eight HR’s, 58 RBIs) and SEC All-Freshman second baseman Lauren Gibson (.297 avg., eight doubles, six HR’s, 39 RBIs). In her outstanding initial campaign in the Orange & White, Renfroe became the first Lady Vol pitcher not named Monica Abbott to win 30 games in a single season or pick up a victory at the WCWS. As a team the powerful Tennessee offense recorded a .321 batting average, scored 6.4 runsper-game, tied the program record for triples with 19 and blasted 51 HR’s, coming up just one big fly short of tying the school single-season mark. During the 2009 season, Tennessee continued its seven-year string of 40+ win campaigns by putting up a 40-18-1 overall record. Once again the Big Orange earned a berth into the NCAA Tournament, the program’s sixth straight, falling in the NCAA Regionals. Led by the offensive production of Second Team Louisville Slugger/ NFCA All-American Huff (.399 avg., 13 doubles, eight HR’s and 67 RBIs), freshman All-Southeast region selection Spigner (UT freshman record 14 HR’s) and sophomore All-Southeast Region choice Grieve (.393 avg., 79 hits, 39 stolen bases) as well as 28 victories in the circle from rookie right-hander Cat Hosfield, UT downed such foes as No. 21 Massachusetts, No. 6 Oklahoma, No. 18 LSU and No. 8 Georgia during the year. The 2008 campaign was a success as the Weeklys guided the Big Orange to a fifth consecutive 50-win season at 50-16 overall and a fifth straight berth into the NCAA Tournament Field of 64. UT advanced to the championship game of its home-hosted NCAA Regional but dropped a 4-2 decision to eventual WCWS-participant Virginia Tech. Under their tutelage, senior third baseman Tonya Callahan (.465 avg., 62 RBIs) broke

the school record for single-season home runs with 16 in 2008 on the way to being chosen as Tennessee’s second consecutive SEC Player of the Year and a finalist for both the USA Softball National Player of the Year trophy and the Honda Award for Softball while reaping UT’s 15th Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-America honor since 2004. Senior shortstop Kenora Posey and freshman infielder Jen Lapicki each earned All-SEC accolades. Junior outfielder Lillian Hammond and senior pitcher Megan Rhodes continued the Lady Vol academic tradition by being tabbed as ESPN Academic All-Americans. Hammond, freshman hurler Ashton Ward, sophomore catcher/first baseman Huff and Callahan were all bestowed NFCA All-South Region accolades. The 2007 season was the benchmark by which all future Lady Vol teams will be compared as the squad finished 63-8 for a new program-best winning percentage of .887. A third-straight trip to the WCWS ended with Tennessee becoming the first Southeastern Conference program to reach the best-of-three NCAA Championship Series, eventually finishing as national runner-up with two wins over No. 4 Arizona and triumphs against No. 6 Northwestern and No. 7 Texas A&M. UT spent a record 11 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll, becoming the first SEC school to reach the lofty top ranking in the league’s softball history. Four players were chosen as Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Americans in 2007 as Monica Abbott, Lindsay Schutzler, India Chiles and Callahan each garnered national honors. Abbott also picked up the prestigious USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year award and the Women’s Sports Foundation’s “Team Sport Athlete of the Year” trophy after registering a 50-5 record with a 0.68 ERA on the year. Chiles was the SEC’s Player of the Year after hitting .459 with 44 stolen bases, while Abbott was the SEC’s Pitcher of the Year. The Lady Vols led NCAA Division I in fielding percentage, winning percentage and team ERA in 2007, while picking up its first SEC regular-season title with a 23-4 league mark. For their efforts the Weeklys were chosen as the South Division Speedline Coaches of the Year, for the second time in three seasons, and as the SEC Coaches of the Year. Weekly presided over his 800th career coaching victory on March 28, 2007, when UT downed Western Kentucky, 6-0, in Knoxville, Tenn. In 2006, the Weeklys guided the Lady Vols to a then-program-best single-season winning percentage of .836 after tallying a 61-12 record, UT’s initial SEC Tournament title and WCWS victories over #1 UCLA, eventual national champion No. 3 Arizona and No. 9 Arizona State. Tennessee also led NCAA Division I in hitting by posting a staggering .342 team batting average. Pupils Sarah Fekete and Abbott led the country in batting average and pitching victories, respectively, while five Lady Vols were chosen first-team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Americans. The tools and chemistry were thought to be in place for success heading into the 2005 campaign, but youth abounded for UT with a roster completely devoid of a single senior. However, the 2005 season saw Tennessee reap its initial NCAA Regional and Super Regional titles and WCWS berth, tie a then-national record with 67 wins, finish third in the nation in both national polls, garner an impressive four Louisville Slugger/ NFCA All-America selections and break a long-standing national mark for single-season shutouts with 51. A Super Regional sweep over No. 4 Stanford in Palo Alto, Calif., and WCWS victories over perennial national stalwarts Arizona, Alabama and eventual national champion Michigan proved that Tennessee, under the direction of the Weeklys, was officially a power to be reckoned with in the softball world. For their efforts the UT coaches were chosen as the 2005 Speedline South Region Coaching Staff of the Year. In 2004, the club notched a then school-record 55 victories on its way to its first Eastern Division title in five years and its initial trip to NCAA Regionals since 1999. Ralph and Karen were honored as the SEC Co-Coaches of the Year as UT finished with a final ranking of 16th from ESPN.com/USA Softball and boasted its first All-American in freshman hurler Abbott. The 6-3 lefthander registered a staggering 582 K’s and 45 victories in her initial campaign at Rocky Top. Tennessee continued its upward movement in the SEC standings in 2003 and notched then the second-most victories in school history with a 45-25 mark. Despite being overlooked for a spot in the 64-team NCAA field, the Lady Vols made their first appearance at the SEC Tournament in four years and eliminated top-seeded and seventh-ranked Georgia and Auburn before being ousted by WCWS participant Alabama. Most notably, Weekly oversaw the rapid development of catcher/third baseman Kristi Durant, who became the first Lady Vol freshman to be chosen All-SEC. Weekly and his wife were able to develop 16 newcomers, including 14 freshmen, into a cohesive unit that came out of nowhere to fall agonizingly short of NCAAs. Year one of the Weeklys’ rebuilding effort proved to be a preview of better things to come for the Big Orange, as the tandem directed the squad to a 35-25-1 overall record in 2002 and the club’s first winning season since 1999. Having lost the squad’s top four hitters from the previous campaign and with their projected pitching ace facing a reduced schedule in the circle due to a torn ligament in her elbow, expectations were minimal. After being picked last in the Eastern Division, Tennessee responded with the best start in the program’s seven-year existence at 21-6-1. Although the Orange missed gaining a berth at the SEC Tournament, the incoming class for the 2003 campaign was ranked ninth by Student Sports Magazine. Under Ralph’s watchful eye in the batting cages, Adrianna Wilson capped off an outstanding senior campaign by being named to the 2002 NFCA All-South Region team. Chosen to the organization’s second unit as a rookie in ’99, the Cypress, Calif., native joined Carrie Swinford (1997, 1999) as the lone UT players to reap allregion accolades twice in her career. A first-team choice in her final season, Wilson became UT’s initial all-region honoree since 1999. On June 19, 2001, University of Tennessee Women’s Athletics Director Joan Cronan charted a new course for the Lady Vol softball program when she announced the Weeklys as the program’s co-head coaches. Since that day, the duo has worked tirelessly toward building UT’s reputation on the diamond. “What they accomplished during their tenure at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, including five regular-season Southern Conference championships and five SoCon Tournament titles, speaks for itself,” said
2011 TENNESSEE LADY VOL SOFTBALL
LADY VOL CO-HEAD COACH Cronan. “They have a passion for the sport of softball and a love for the state of Tennessee that will be an asset as they attempt to turn things around. This combination should help take our program to the next level in collegiate softball.” The Weeklys arrived in Knoxville after shaping Chattanooga’s softball team into one of the top programs in the South upon their arrival in 1995. The tandem piloted the Lady Mocs to consecutive NCAA appearances in 2000 and 2001, the first two automatic NCAA Regional berths ever offered to the Southern Conference champion. In 2001, UTC sported an overall record of 49-18 and was an impressive 4-1 against SEC programs. After accepting the co-head coaching position at UT, Ralph Weekly announced in August 2001 that he would be stepping down from his post as USA Softball National Teams Director, a position he had held since 1999. Weekly began his administrative stint with USA Softball in August 1998 after taking a leave of absence as head coach at Chattanooga. Weekly, who is nationally and internationally recognized for his skills as a hitting clinician, was responsible for a variety of national team duties, including the general management of USA Softball’s elite level international programs for both men and women. He also served as a liaison to the ASA National Team Selection Committee that is responsible for the elite level selection process for Olympic, Pan American Games and other USA Softball National Teams. In the summer of 2009, Weekly accepted a position on the USA Softball Women’s National Teams Selection Committee where he will again assist in choosing the members to the prestigious U.S. softball squads from 2010-12. Between 1998 and 2001, Weekly worked closely with the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) to ensure that USA Softball received adequate funding for its programs and was fully equipped with the technical assistance it needed. He was also instrumental in securing the funding for the development of a state-of-the-art practice facility at the ARCO Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. This facility has been used by all of the USA Softball National Teams and will continue to be an integral part of USA Softball’s success. Success has followed Weekly throughout his career, especially as a coach for USA Softball Women’s National Teams. Weekly served as the hitting coach and Team Leader for the 2000 U.S. Olympic team that claimed its second-consecutive gold medal in Sydney, Australia. Earlier, he served as the hitting and third-base coach for the U.S. contingent that brought home the gold at the ’96 Summer Games in Atlanta. Under his direction, USA Softball captured the gold medal at the 1994 Pan American Games qualifier in Guatemala. He was an assistant on teams that won additional gold medals at the 1994 World Games in Nova Scotia, the 1995 Pan American Games in Argentina, the 1996 South Pacific Classic in Australia, the 1997 Canada Cup, the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Canada, the inaugural 1999 America Cup in San Diego, the 2000 European Championship in Rome, Italy, and the 2001 Hawaii Cup in Honolulu. As a coach and National Teams Director for USA Softball, Weekly has appeared in 13 international tournaments, winning a gold medal every time. His international coaching record is a sterling 130-15 (.897). He is the only person in collegiate softball to have served on a pair of Olympic gold-medal-winning coaching staffs and to have claimed two national championships as a head coach. He also directed all facets of the USA Men’s National Team from 1999-2001. He has developed High Performance Seminars funded by the USOC to establish consistent coaching philosophies for youth coaches throughout the world. In addition, Weekly has produced several instructional tapes through USA Softball, including “Fundamentals for Future Champions.” In December of 2006, Ralph and co-head coach Karen Weekly released a new instructional video entitled “Hitting the Tennessee Way.” He guided the women’s East team to a gold medal at the 1994 U.S. Olympic Festival in St. Louis, Mo., one year after taking the North team to a bronze medal in the Festival held in San Antonio, Texas. Previously, Weekly was the head coach at Pacific Lutheran in Tacoma, Wash., from 1986-94, where he compiled a 310-93 (.769) record and became one of the most successful coaches in NAIA history. In his nine years at PLU, his teams made eight trips to the NAIA Tournament, returning with national championships in 1988 and 1992, and a second-place finish in 1990. His 1991 team was ranked first in the country throughout the season. Weekly was named the National Softball Coaches Association (NSCA) Small College Coach of the Year in 1993 and was a two-time NAIA National Coach of the Year in 1988 and 1992. Incredibly, he was chosen as the NAIA West Region Coach of the Year eight times in a nine-year span, covering the 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989,
www.utladyvols.com
1990, 1992, 1993 and 1994 campaigns. During the fall, he also served as an assistant football coach at PLU from 1986-93 under legendary head coach Frosty Westerling. During his time spent working on the gridiron, he helped the Lutes to three national title games and a pair of NAIA national championships (1987 & 1993). In his last year he was able to share the title-winning experience with his son Marc Weekly, an All-American quarterback and a player responsible for 10,977 yards of career total offense. Weekly began his coaching career in the United States Air Force, where he accumulated many championships at a variety of levels. He piloted squads to three All-Armed Forces World Titles, seven state titles at the United States Softball Association (USSA) level and three USSA Western World Championships. He has served as the chairperson of the Gatorade High School Player of the Year Selection Committee and has published numerous articles in softball magazines and journals. In addition, Weekly has been a featured speaker at the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) national convention and at various national baseball and softball clinics around the nation. He currently serves as the co-director of the Cherry Hill, N.J., Coaches Clinic which is the largest such event in the country. Weekly is the founder and director of National Hitting Camps, where he has taught thousands of youths in all 48 of the contiguous states and throughout Canada over the past 20+ years. He was also the Director of ASA Gold Medal Camps that featured hands-on training from U.S. Olympic staff and players from 1996-2001. Well-respected internationally as a clinician, he has represented the USA in clinics in Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Italy, New Zealand and Taiwan. Having retired from the United States Air Force in 1986, Weekly was the commander of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations at McChord Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., in his last duty assignment. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry for outstanding service in the Vietnam War. Weekly is a 1973 graduate of Arizona State University and has completed course work for a master’s degree in international relations from Pacific Lutheran.

LADY VOL CO-HEAD COACH KAREN WEEKLY 10th Year at Tennessee
A 14-year collegiate softball head coaching veteran boasting 688 career wins, Karen Weekly preps to enter her 10th season with her husband Ralph at the helm of the Lady Volunteer softball program. Having guided UT to a staggering 465 victories and four top three national finishes in the annual Women’s College World Series (2005, 2006, 2007, 2010), since arriving to resuscitate the program prior to the 2002 season, is concrete proof that tireless recruiting and solid coaching by the experienced Weeklys and their staff have provided huge dividends to the UT softball program. The recently completed 2010 campaign proved a magical ride for an incredibly young Tennessee squad made up of 19 players, including a total of 15 freshmen and sophomores. The Lady Vols registered a 49-15 overall record (making it eight straight 40+ win seasons) and truly peaked at the right time, rolling through their first seven games of the NCAA Tournament on the way to the program’s fourth WCWS berth and another third place national finish. Along the way in NCAA action, Tennessee swept Ball State, Virginia and Louisville during the Knoxville Regional, ended No. 2 Michigan’s two-year, 36-game home winning streak by sweeping two consecutive contests in the NCAA Ann Arbor Super Regionals and opened the WCWS with consecutive victories over No. 3 Arizona (9-0, 5 inn.) and No. 9 Georgia (7-5) before being eliminated by the Wildcats just one win from a berth in the best-of-three championship series. The youthful 2010 squad was guided by a quartet of upperclassmen, including senior catcher Tiffany Huff (NFCA All-South Region choice, .312 avg., seven HR’s, 45 RBIs), first baseman Erinn Webb (.318 NCAA Tourney avg., nine total HR’s, 34 RBIs) and designated player Nicole Kajitani (three doubles, three HR’s, 22 RBIs) as well as junior center field speedster Kelly Grieve (.373 avg., 12 doubles, 30 RBIs, 26 thefts). The team was bolstered, however, by a myriad of high-profile freshmen including Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-American outfielders Raven Chavanne (.455 avg., 64 runs, 95 hits, 26 RBIs, 37 steals) and Kat Dotson (SEC First-Team selection and Co-Freshman of the Year, .391 avg., 54 runs, 66 hits, 37 RBIs, 29 thefts), All-Southeast Region choices -- pitcher Ivy Renfroe (31-6 record, 2.41 ERA, 15 complete games, 235 K’s in 232.1 IP) and third baseman Jessica Spigner (.350 avg., 14 doubles, eight HR’s, 58 RBIs) and SEC All-Freshman second baseman Lauren Gibson (.297 avg., eight doubles, six HR’s, 39 RBIs). In her outstanding initial campaign in the Orange & White, Renfroe became the first Lady Vol pitcher not named Monica Abbott to win 30 games in a single season or pick up a victory at the WCWS. As a team the powerful Tennessee offense recorded a .321 batting average, scored 6.4 runs-per-game, tied the program record for triples with 19 and blasted 51 HR’s, coming up just one big fly short of tying the school single-season mark. During the 2009 season, Tennessee continued its string of 40+ win campaigns by putting up a 40-18-1 overall record. Once again the Big Orange earned a berth into the NCAA Tournament, the program’s sixth straight, falling in the NCAA Regionals. Led by the offensive production of Second Team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American Tiffany Huff (.399 avg., 13 doubles, eight HR’s and 67 RBIs), freshman All-Southeast region selection Jessica Spigner (UT freshman record 14 HR’s) and sophomore All-Southeast Region choice Kelly Grieve (.393 avg., 79 hits, 39 stolen bases) as well as 28 victories in the circle from rookie right-hander Cat Hosfield, UT downed such foes as No. 21 Massachusetts, No. 6 Oklahoma, No. 18 LSU and No. 8 Georgia during the year. The 2008 campaign was a success as the Weeklys guided the Big Orange to a fifth consecutive 50-win season and a fifth straight berth into the NCAA Tournament Field of 64. UT advanced to the championship game of its home-hosted NCAA Regional but dropped a 4-2 decision to eventual WCWS-participant Virginia Tech. Under their tutelage, senior third baseman Tonya Callahan (.465 avg., 62 RBIs) broke the school record for single-season home runs with 16 on the way to being chosen as Tennessee’s second consecutive SEC Player of the Year and a finalist for both the 2008 USA Softball National Player of the Year trophy and the Honda Award for Softball while reaping UT’s 15th Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-America honor since 2004. Senior shortstop Kenora Posey and freshman infielder Jen Lapicki each earned All-SEC accolades. Junior outfielder Lillian Hammond and senior pitcher Megan Rhodes continued the Lady Vol academic tradition by being tabbed as ESPN the Magazine Academic AllAmericans. Hammond, freshman hurler Ashton Ward, sophomore catcher/first baseman Huff and Callahan were all bestowed NFCA All-South Region accolades. Karen’s slap-hitting standouts, Hammond and Posey, were responsible for .362 and .349 averages, respec-
12
tively, 96 total runs scored and 67 combined stolen bases. The 2007 season was the benchmark by which all future Lady Vol teams will be compared as the squad finished at 63-8 for a new program-best win percentage of .887. A third-straight trip to the Women’s College World Series ended with Tennessee becoming the first Southeastern Conference program to reach the best-of-three NCAA Championship Series, eventually finishing as national runner-up with two wins over No. 4 Arizona and single triumphs against No. 6 Northwestern and No. 7 Texas A&M. UT spent a record 11 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll, becoming the first SEC school to reach the lofty top ranking in the league’s softball history. Four players were chosen as Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Americans in 2007 as Monica Abbott, Lindsay Schutzler, India Chiles and Callahan each garnered national honors. Abbott also picked up the prestigious USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year award and the Women’s Sports Foundation’s Team Sport Athlete of the Year trophy after going 50-5 with a 0.68 ERA on the year. Chiles was the SEC’s Player of the Year after hitting .459 with 44 stolen bases. The Lady Vols led NCAA Division I in fielding percentage, winning percentage and team ERA in 2007 while picking up its first SEC regular-season title. For their efforts the Weeklys were South Division Speedline Coaches of the Year, for the second time in three seasons, and as the SEC Coaches of the Year. Karen Weekly also presided over her 500th career coaching victory on February 24, 2007, when UT downed Michigan State, 3-0, at the Palm Springs Classic in Cathedral City, Calif. Weekly’s tutelage helped guide Tennessee to a then-program-best .836 winning percentage in 2006 at 61-12 overall, a No. 2 national ranking during the regular season and a second consecutive trip to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla., where UT finished third nationally and downed #1 UCLA, #3 Arizona and #9 Arizona State. One of her slap-hitting pupils, senior outfielder Sarah Fekete, led NCAA Division I in batting average at a staggering .500 (110-of-220) as the UT squad combined to lead the country in team hitting at .342. In all three of the top five hitters in the Southeastern Conference by average in 2006 learned under the watchful eye of Karen and co-head coach Ralph Weekly, as Fekete, Chiles (.437) and Schutzler (.409) gave the league statistics a definitive orange tint. Five members of Weekly’s team also were selected as first-team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Americans to lead NCAA Division I in that category. UT also achieved another program-first in ‘06 as the Orange & White raced through the field at the annual SEC Tournament to pick up its first league tournament title with a 3-0 victory over #12 LSU at the UGA Softball Stadium in Athens, Ga. UT hosted the NCAA Regional round at home for the second straight year and added the Super Regionals to the Tyson Park slate after roaring through the opening round a perfect 3-0. The Big Orange faced a serious challenge as defending national champion Michigan ventured to Knoxville for the best-of-three Super Regional series. After downing UM 5-3 and then dropping a tough 5-1 decision to the Wolverines in game two, UT prevailed 1-0 in the finale to send the Orange and White back to the WCWS. Throughout the Weeklys tenure at Tennessee, the Big Orange have been known for tremendous speed, skyrocketing batting averages and outstanding fielding percentages, as UT led the nation in the latter category in both 2004, 2005 and 2007. The Orange’s and White rapid climb from a 24-win program in 2001 to a national power reached a new peak during a stunning 2005 run to a third-place finish at the Women’s College World Series and a national record-tying 67 victories. UT led the nation in fielding percentage (.982), shutouts (51), strikeouts (787) and victories (67) while setting program marks for runs scored (404), hits (678) and stolen bases (127) and tying the single-season record for home runs (52). Tennessee’s regular-season efforts permitted the program the opportunity to host the NCAA Regionals at Tyson Park for the first time in UT history. The home field advantage paid dividends as the Lady Vols went 3-0 to advance to NCAA Super Regionals in Palo Alto, Calif., against Stanford. A two-game road sweep over the powerful Pac-10’s Cardinal granted Tennessee its first trip to the WCWS. For their efforts the coaches were chosen as the Speedline South Region Coaching Staff of the Year. The Weeklys were honored as the SEC Coaches of the Year by their peers after directing UT to its first Eastern Division championship since 1999 during the 2004 campaign. The Orange was awarded the second seed at NCAA Regional No. 6 in Ann Arbor, Mich., and collected its first two victories in just the program’s second trip to NCAAs. The Lady Vols sported an overall mark of 55-16 and captured tournament titles at their own Lady Vol Classic, the New Mexico State Kick-Off Invitational, the Paradise Classic hosted by the University of Hawaii and the State-Line Classic. Tennessee also reached the semifinal round of the SEC Tournament for the second straight time. UT continued to climb the ladder of success in 2003, capturing three tournaments and posting several victories over ranked opponents, including league rivals Alabama, Georgia, LSU and South Carolina. Perhaps the most impressive breakthrough occurred as the Lady Vols secured the sixth seed for the Southeastern Conference Tournament and matched their top performance at the event with a couple of triumphs while facing elimination. The Orange were involved in a record four extra-inning tilts during their journey to Plant City, Fla., and managed to oust Auburn and the league’s number-one team, Georgia, after dropping regular-season series to the Tigers and Bulldogs. Continued evidence of the team’s progress was
2011 TENNESSEE LADY VOL SOFTBALL
LADY VOL CO-HEAD COACH shown by a 34-point increase in batting average from 2002 to 2003 under the Weekly regime and a healthy boost to the squad’s power numbers, including the most total bases (787), hits (543), runs batted in (280), runs (310) and doubles (102) since the 1999 edition slugged its way to the Eastern Division crown and NCAA Regional No. 3 in Seattle, Wash. In their debut campaign, the Weeklys presided over the biggest turnaround in UT’s softball history, as the team rebounded from a lackluster 24-35 effort to finish 35-25-1 in 2002. The Lady Vols showed marked improvement in every area – offensively, defensively and in the pitching circle. Despite just one returning starter in her natural position, the rest of the orange-clad players enjoyed a tremendous upswing under the Weeklys’ tutelage. In fact, UT registered a team batting average that was 40 points higher than the previous season and recorded a school-record fielding percentage of .965 after shaving a massive 44 errors off its ’01 figure. In addition, the club’s offensive statistics jumped across the board, including a school-record-tying 52 home runs. Upon arriving in Knoxville, Weekly brought a wealth of experience gained from being an All-America softball player at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash., a national title-winning assistant coach at PLU in 1988 and 1992, and a championship head coach at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga for five seasons. During her tenure, the Lady Mocs claimed five straight Southern Conference regular-season trophies, four SoCon Tournament plaques and the team made successive appearances at the 2000 and 2001 NCAA Regionals. After Karen served as an assistant coach at UTC in 1995 and 1996, the Weeklys combined their efforts to direct the Lady Mocs to the top of the SoCon in their first two campaigns in charge of the program together. The 1997 season featured an overall record of 32-19, while the ’98 edition registered a school-record 47 victories and three players earned first-team All-South Region accolades. While Ralph was on a leave of absence from Chattanooga to handle his Olympic duties in 1999 and 2000, the Lady Mocs’ program continued to make steady improvement under Karen’s tutelage. In her initial season as head coach in ’99, UTC led the SoCon with a .303 batting average and a 1.47 earned run average en route to a schoolbest 48-18 overall record to go along with a spotless 16-0 mark in regular-season conference play. Weekly guided a record six individuals to first-team All-SoCon accolades that season and Chattanooga became the inaugural team to sweep all of the postseason honors issued by the conference office. In 2000, the Lady Mocs were 47-27 and earned the program’s first NCAA Regional berth by winning three-straight games after a loss to Furman to take the SoCon Tourney and secure the initial automatic bid for the conference into the 48-team regional field. Sent to the No. 1 Regional held in Seattle, Wash., the Mocs fell to Mississippi State, 6-1, before bouncing back to knock out Army, 6-4, in nine innings. The squad would later be eliminated at the event after suffering a 2-1 defeat to nationally-ranked Utah. UTC’s pitching staff was the key to its success, sporting an impressive 1.58 earned run average with every hurler having an ERA of 1.80 or lower. In rolling to a 49-18 overall mark in 2001, including four wins in five outings against SEC competition and a triumph over then-third-ranked Alabama in Tuscaloosa, the Weeklys helped the Mocs to another NCAA appearance following Southern Conference regular-season and post-season crowns. Six more Lady Mocs etched their names on the first-team all-league list after UTC racked up an 18-2 ledger in SoCon play and the Weeklys were selected as league Coaches of the Year. Karen was Ralph’s top assistant at Pacific Lutheran from 1987-94 after earning her bachelor’s degree in history and political science magna cum laude from the University in 1987. The duo spearheaded the Lutes to NAIA national championships in 1988 and 1992 and a runner-up finish in 1990. At PLU, where she was known as Karen Kvale, Weekly excelled as a studentathlete. She was named Female Athlete of the Year and led NAIA hitters with a .440 batting average during her All-America senior season. Her skills were not limited to the diamond either, as she was a three-year starter on the basketball team. With a 3.8 grade point average, Weekly was a two-time Academic All-American, garnering honors in 1986 and 1987. In both ’85 and ’86, she was the recipient of the prestigious Pacific Lutheran University Undergraduate Fellow/Division of Social Sciences Award. She later earned her juris doctor degree from the University of Washington’s School of Law in 1990. At Chattanooga, Weekly was an assistant professor in the College of Business Administration from August 1995 until May 2001, where she taught a course entitled the “Legal Environment of Business.” Between 1996-99, she served on the UTC Faculty Committee on Student Rating of Faculty Instruction. In addition, Weekly was an administrative law judge and a member of the school’s Gender Equity Committee from 1996 until her departure from Chattanooga. She remains an administrative law judge at the University of Tennessee. Previously, she was an associate attorney at Grant, Konvalinka & Harrison in Chattanooga from November 1994 to August 1995 after working in a similar capacity at Williams, Kastner & Gibbs in Seattle from September 1990 through November 1994. Weekly holds memberships in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA), where she has held several committee positions, and the Academy of Legal Studies in Business. She is a member of the American Bar Association and is permitted to practice law in the states of Tennessee and Washington. Having traveled all over the nation to spread her knowledge about the sport, Weekly has been a co-owner and director of National Hitting Camps since 1988. She also has been a lead instructor at ASA Elite Hitting Camps in Midland, Texas, and in Oklahoma City, Okla., and has been a featured speaker at several coaching clinics around the country. She has spoken at the “Be the Best You Are” clinic in Cherry Hill, N.J., during each of the last six years, covering such topics as developing power and bat speed, the short game, scouting opponents and developing a rapport between the coach and players. In December 2007, Weekly released a video entitled “The Tennessee Slap Attack,” an instructional tape teaching the fundamentals of slap-hitting.

LADY VOL ASSISTANT COACH MARTY MCDANIEL Seventh Year at Tennessee
Lauded for his teaching ability and his overall knowledge of the game, Marty McDaniel continues to provide his outgoing personality and boundless enthusiasm to the Lady Vol softball program as a seventh-year assistant coach on the staff of Tennessee Co-Head Coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly. A former head coach at Division II Armstrong Atlantic State University (Ga.), McDaniel’s experience as both a coach and as a men’s fastpitch veteran has been invaluable to the UT efforts. During his time on the UT softball staff, McDaniel has been vital to the program’s stunning success. His pitching pupils such as standouts Monica Abbott, Megan Rhodes, Ashton Ward, Cat Hosfield and Ivy Renfroe have helped extend Tennessee’s streak of 40+ win seasons to eight venturing into the 2011 campaign. During his six years at Tennessee (2005-10) his staffs have led the nation in ERA and strikeouts (2007), set a national record for shutouts (51 in 2005) and helped the Big Orange to 330 total victories, an average of 55 wins-per-season. Faced with an young and inexperienced staff consisting of returning sophomores Cat Hosfield and Jessica Spigner and two incoming freshmen, Ivy Renfroe and Andi Williamson, McDaniel helped the 2010 group settle in to post 49 wins, the league’s fifth-best ERA at 2.78 and 12 shutouts. His new pupil Renfroe truly thrived under his direction, posting a 31-6 mark with a 2.41 ERA, 15 complete games and 235 strikeouts over 232.1 innings of work. The Jackson, Tenn., native became the first Lady Vol pitcher not named Monica Abbott to win 30 or more games in a single season and post a victory at the annual Women’s College World Series. The 6-0 right hander registered perhaps her finest effort during NCAA Super Regionals at No. 2 Michigan, flirting with a no-hitter for 6.1 frames before settling for a two-hit shutout to end the powerful Wolverines two-year, 36-game home winning streak. Renfroe also three-hit eventual national finalist No. 3 Arizona in UT’s WCWS opener as Tennessee rolled past the Wildcats, 9-0 (5 inn.). Hosfield was solid from the circle in support in 2010, registering a 17-8 overall mark with a 3.27 ERA with six complete games and 130 K’s in 171.1 innings. During her campaign, the Murfreesboro, Tenn., product posted victories over high-profile foes including No. 15 Texas, Illinois State, Ole Miss, Auburn, No. 4 Florida, Louisville and No. 2 Michigan. Typically a third baseman, Spigner recorded a pitching win over Austin Peay and picked up a crucial save during a 5-4 home triumph over No. 9 Georgia, while Williamson allowed just a single tally in five innings of work over three appearances. Rookie righthander Hosfield led the way for the Lady Vol pitching crew in 2009, posting a 28-13 record with six solo shutouts and 221 strikeouts in 257.1 innings of work. She tied for 12th in NCAA Division I in wins, second in the Southeastern Conference in victories, rated fourth in strikeouts (221) and 11th in opposing batting average (.222), while posting high-profile victories over No. 6 Oklahoma (twice), No. 15 Massachusetts, No. 18 LSU (twice), No. 25 Kansas and Auburn (three wins). Included in her SEC All-Freshman campaign was a hard-fought 2-1 defeat to eventual national champion Washington, during which Hosfield allowed just two runs on seven hits in a duel with 2009 USA Softball National Player of the Year Danielle Lawrie. Forced to look further into the staff as the long ’09 season wore on, he helped senior Danielle Pieroni to an 8-3 mark over 57 innings of work after she entered the year with all of 22.2 frames of collegiate pitching experience. He even helped freshman Spigner, who hadn’t thrown in a pitch in nearly a year, contribute 16 innings, including a big 6-3 win at No. 8 Georgia. His charges in the circle helped guide Tennessee to a fifth consecutive 50-win campaign in 2008 while posting 17 shutouts, a 2.10 team ERA and 431 K’s in 437.0 innings of work. Freshman righthander Ward spent the season among the SEC win leaders and finished 25th in NCAA Division I in victories by going 27-5 overall with a team-best 1.88 ERA and 187 strikeouts. Senior Rhodes was responsible for 23 triumphs, 213.1 innings of work and 233 K’s. The Nashville, Tenn., native concluded her time wearing the Orange & White firmly entrenched in the Lady Vol top four in career wins, K’s, shutouts, ERA, appearances, starts and winning percentage. Junior Pieroni demonstrated improvement in the circle during 2008 by working 19.1 frames and highlighting her year with 2.2 innings of scoreless relief in an exhibition contest against the U.S. Olympic Softball Team. During the 2007 drive to a runner-up national finish at the Women’s College World Series, McDaniel helped the Tennessee staff to an NCAA-best 0.88 ERA to go along with 63 wins, 41 shutouts and a national single-season record strikeout-per-seven-inning ratio of 13.55 on 910 combined K’s over 470 innings of work. His pupils in the circle, Abbott and Rhodes, finished first (14.1) and fourth (11.7), respectively, in K-per-seven-inning ratio in the country. Senior Abbott led the way in single-season strikeouts with an NCAA record 724. She completed her stay in the Orange & White as the NCAA career leader in wins (189), strikeouts (2,440), shutouts (112), appearances (253) and innings pitched (1,448.0). Rhodes struck out 186 batters over just 111.2 frames of work while going 13-3 with a 1.50 ERA. The duo also combined to hurl eight no-hitters, including three perfect games (two for Abbott, one for Rhodes). For his efforts, he was named as part of Speedline’s South Region Coaching Staff of the Year for the second time in three seasons (2005). His pitching staff continued their stellar work in the circle during UT’s run to the WCWS in 2006 by leading the league in ERA at 1.12 with a 61-12 overall record, 37 shutouts and 682 strikeouts. Junior All-American Abbott led the nation in victories with 44 and broke the SEC career records for K’s and triumphs during the regular-season after posting a 44-10 mark with 531 K’s. Sophomore Rhodes continued her rapid improvement by going 17-2 overall with a 1.40 ERA and 148 strikeouts in just 120 innings of work. The staff hurled three consecutive no-hitters during the title-winning USF adidas Tournament and almost got a fourth straight as a bloop single by UMass in the fifth inning of the championship contest broke up the amazing bid.
14
Working primarily with the pitching and catching positions during the record-setting 2005 campaign, McDaniel instructed a group of hurlers that broke a long-standing national record for shutouts with 51 blankings while helping guide UT’s initial advance into the WCWS. The first-year McDaniel’s charges combined for 67 victories in the circle with an overall ERA of 0.79 and 787 strikeouts in 547.0 innings. Sophomore Abbott became the program’s first two-time, first-team All-American after leading the nation in victories (50), shutouts (34), strikeouts (603) and innings pitched (392.0). Rookie pitcher Rhodes posted 14 victories and 125 K’s on her way to SEC All-Freshman honors. Granted the responsibility of building the softball program at Armstong Atlantic State

2011 TENNESSEE LADY VOL SOFTBALL
LADY VOL ASSISTANT COACHES (Ga.) from its infancy in 1998, McDaniel turned the AASU varsity program into a winning machine that captured its initial Peach Belt Conference championship in 2000, garnered four NCAA Championship berths (2000, 2002, 2003, 2004) and achieved a No. 1 ranking in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) poll during the 2000 campaign. His conference-winning squad in 2000 picked up an impressive 51 victories against just seven losses and registered an 18-2 league mark in PBC play. With the assistance of four All-Americans, McDaniel’s 2004 AASU squad advanced all the way to the South Atlantic Regional. Record-setting senior pitcher Katya Eronina picked up her second-consecutive first-team NFCA All-America honor while a pair of seniors, Stacey Richardson and Kissy Stepanova, garnered second-team All-America awards. Junior second baseman Stacy Oliver was selected as a third-team All-American. During the 2003 campaign, AASU utilized the pitching of NFCA All-America Eronina, the Division II leader in earned-run-average, to advance to the South Atlantic Region final. The Pirates achieved a final ranking of 16th and completed the season at 41-13 overall. All-Americans Annie Sells and Richardson helped guide the 2002 version of McDaniel’s Pirates to a No. 2-seeding at the South Atlantic Regional and another final ranking of 16th. AASU registered the best won-lost record in Division II with a 40-7 mark while Richardson was the NCAA’s DII home run champion with a school-record 16 round-trippers. The squad finished with a 15-2 mark for a second-place finish in the Peach Belt Conference. The 2000 South Atlantic Coach of the Year, McDaniel has had experience on the Weeklys’ staff before as he joined AASU from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. During his two-plus year stint on the staff of then Head Coach Ralph Weekly, also a U.S. Olympic Assistant Coach, Chattanooga won two Southern Conference Championships. A native of Chattanooga, Tenn., McDaniel received his Bachelor of Science degree from Carson-Newman College in 1989 and also assisted with the baseball team as a coach for two seasons. As a top-rated pitcher, McDaniel has made numerous all-region squads in the sport of men’s fastpitch softball. During 2008 he was honored in a ceremony at Armstong Atlantic State as a coaching inductee into the softball program’s “Wall of Fame.” McDaniel and his wife, the former Kelly Stewart, currently reside in Knoxville, Tenn. The pair have a child, Lindsey Jo, who was born during the 2005 softball campaign.
MARC WEEKLY
Volunteer Assistant Softball Coach Seventh Year at Tennessee Marc Weekly begins his seventh season as a member of the University of Tennessee Lady Vol softball staff in the capacity of a volunteer coach after working with Co-Head Coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly in camps and summer clinics for over 15 years. He will work primarily with UT’s catchers and outfielders and will also assist with hitting instruction. Weekly started at quarterback at Pacific Lutheran University for four seasons (1990-93) during which he led the Lutes to four NAIA Division-II national playoff appearances and two national championship games. In 1993, he guided PLU to the program’s third NAIA Division-II National Championship and was named the Most Valuable Player in each contest during the squad’s playoff run. The 1993 first-team All-American was accountable for six touchdowns in the title tilt, throwing for four scores and running for two more in a 50-20 rout of Westminster, Pa., in Portland, Ore. Weekly continues to hold season and career records at Pacific Lutheran for most passing yards (3,722 in 1993; 9,737 from 1990-93), most touchdown passes (46 in 1993; 115 from 1990-93) and most total offense (4,065 yds. in 1993; 10,977 from 1990-93). Following his collegiate experience at Pacific Lutheran, Weekly, a former Associated Press Blue Chip Pick in baseball, was offered a minor league contract as a catcher in the Seattle Mariners organization, but turned it down to sign a deal with the Edmonton Eskimos in the Canadian Football League (CFL). After two years with the Eskimos, he enrolled at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in the master’s program and served as a football graduate assistant for two years working with the UTC quarterbacks and kickers. A 2004 inductee in the Pacific Lutheran University Athletic Hall of Fame, Weekly holds a bachelor’s degree from PLU and a master’s degree from Chattanooga. He currently resides in Seymour, Tenn., with his wife Cheryl and three children: Jake, Regan and Garrett.
WHAT THE PLAYERS SAY ABOUT RALPH AND KAREN WEEKLY “Ralph and Karen helped me develop as a player on and off the field. I love their drive and concern for their players. They really want what is best for their players, in life, not just athletically. They are also great at listening to players’ opinions and ideas. You know they are going to do everything possible to prepare the team for success.” -- Monica Abbott (class of 2007) “One of the reasons why I enjoyed playing for the Weeklys is because they helped us keep our priorities in order. School always came before softball. If it was crunch time at school and the team needed a little time away from softball to get work done, Ralph and Karen were always understanding. Class, tutors, make-up tests and meetings with teachers were always a priority. At UT, we always had a busy travel schedule so it was very important to our team that our coaches supported us as student-athletes.” --Lindsay Schutzler (class of 2007) “The thing that I enjoyed most about playing for the Weeklys was how much they cared about us as people before athletes. It was very clear that our success in life was their first priority. They take on an approach as coaches that gears their players towards becoming productive members of society. They pushed us hard and instilled disciplinary practices in us that others admire. They truly respect their players’ goals in life as well as in our sport and do everything in their power to help you reach them. The four years I spent with the Weeklys are by far the most memorable ones thus far. Thank you does not say enough for the appreciation I feel towards them!” -- India Chiles (class of 2007)

“The Weeklys strive for perfection. Whether it’s offense or defense they know fundamentals inside and out. I love playing for them because they want to win and are very up front with the players and what they expect out of the team. I will always appreciate them for believing in me and giving me an opportunity to show what I can do. I respect them because they have helped me become a better person and player, and I am happy that they consider me a part of their family.” -- Kenora Posey (class of 2008) “The Weeklys have not only taught me lessons on the field, but the life lessons I have learned from them off the field are even more important and something I may never have gained. They have helped me grow so much as both an athlete and a person during my time at Tennessee.” -- Tonya Callahan (class of 2008) “My experience playing for Ralph and Karen is something I will always treasure. I learned so many valuable lessons about commitment, dedication and persevering toward a common goal. They gave me an opportunity to compete at the highest level and believed in me. They were more than coaches on the field . . . they always had time to listen and give me valuable advice off the field. I will always be grateful for their mentoring and lifetime friendship.” -- Lauren Mattox (class of 2004)

Also Arredondo blasted a two-run shot to right in the sixth to finalize the scoring. The Lady Vols got base contributing as per usual to Tennessee’s 12-hit offensive assault were Dotson (3-for-5) and Chavanne runners aboard in the final three innings but couldn’t string together a rally against the freshman hurler (2-for-6), as the duo combined for nearly half of UT’s total hit output. Renfroe was summoned into the Fowler, eventually settled for its fourth top three national finish at the WCWS in the last six seasons.

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 2009-10 academic year was another season to remember for the SEC as conference teams captured four national titles and four national runner-up finishes. The SEC has won consecutive national championships in baseball and football. Since 1990, the SEC has won 135 national team championships for an average of more than six per year. Alabama won the SEC’s first national title of the year with its win in the BCS National Championship Game in football. It is the SEC’s fourth consecutive football national title. Florida captured its second women’s swimming and diving national championship. Florida also won its first ever championship in men’s indoor track and field. South Carolina won the national championship in the sport of baseball. Florida finished first among Southeastern Conference schools and second overall in the Director’s Cup final standings. Overall, the SEC finished in the top two in nine of its 20 sponsored sports and in the top five in 14 of the 20 sports. Ten SEC teams participated in football postseason bowls with Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Auburn and Georgia winning the BCS National Title Game, Sugar, Cotton, Liberty, Outback, and Independence bowls, respectively. Four men’s basketball teams were invited to the NCAA Tournament and seven women’s basketball teams were also invited to the NCAA Tournament. The SEC had a eight teams advance to postseason play in baseball hosting four regionals with South Carolina and Florida advancing to the College World Series. With 145 teams advancing to NCAA postseason competition, the SEC continued to solidify its place as the nation’s premier conference. In addition to the four team championships, 41 SEC student-athletes garnered individual national championships, while 440 individuals were awarded with First-Team All-American 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, 11 SEC schools placed in the top 60 of the NACDA Director’s Cup rankings. Florida led the league with a second place finish. Tennessee placed 16th while LSU was 19th; Georgia finished 20th, Alabama 23rd, Auburn 26th, Kentucky 29th, South Carolina 41st, Arkansas 46th, Ole Miss 56th and Vanderbilt 59th to round out the league’s top-60 finishes.
SOFTBALL IN THE SEC SEC Softball will celebrate its 15th year of existence in 2011 and has established itself as one of the leading conferences in the sport. The Southeastern Conference qualified seven teams for the 2010 NCAA Tournament Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU and Tennessee, as the conference made its 13th overall, and eighth consecutive, Women’s College World Series appearance. For the third consecutive year, an SEC team received the No. 1 national seed, as the Alabama Crimson Tide coveted the honor in 2010. Overall, five teams earned national seeds: No. 1 Alabama, No. 4 Florida, No. 6 Georgia, No. 12 LSU and No. 15 Tennessee. The SEC advanced three teams to Oklahoma City: Florida, Georgia and Tennessee while Georgia and Tennessee advanced to the semifinals. Alabama won the 2010 conference crown as they posted a 23-4 SEC record, marking their second title in school history. It was quite the year for the Tide as they posted a 52-11 overall mark and swept league honors. Pat Murphy was named Coach of the Year while Kelsi Dunne earned Pitcher of the Year honors and Charlotte Morgan defended her Player of the Year title. Kayla Braud was named Co-Freshman of the Year along with LSU’s Rachele Fico and Tennessee’s Kat Dotson. Arkansas’ Jessica Bachkora was selected as Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Softball came under the auspices of the Southeastern Conference in the 1996-97 season. Since that time, 10 different conference teams have made appearances in the NCAA Championship, including six teams earning Women’s College World Series berths - one by South Carolina in the inaugural season, Alabama in 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, Florida in 2008, 2009 and 2010, Georgia in 2009 and 2010, LSU in 2001 and 2004 and Tennessee in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2010. Eight teams (Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Tennessee) have made Top 25 appearances and six teams have climbed into the Top 10 (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, South Carolina and Tennessee) of the NFCA/USA Today Poll. At least one SEC team has been ranked in the poll each week since the inception of SEC Softball. South Carolina is the longest standing program in the league with a rich history of softball dating back 36 seasons. The Gamecocks have made 15 NCAA Regional and three Women’s College World Series appearances. Mississippi State played softball for five years during the 1980’s before resuming the sport when it was added to the SEC. Tennessee added softball in 1995-96, one year before its inception in the league. Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU and Ole Miss began softball programs in 1996-97 to give the league 11 representatives (Vanderbilt does not sponsor softball). The 1999 season was the first in which the conference was eligible for an automatic berth to the NCAA Championships. As the sport continues to grow in competitiveness and popularity, the SEC has had six different regular season champions and five different conference tournament champions.

SOFTBALL AND THE NCAA
THE TOURNAMENT: The NCAA will select 64 out of the over 260 schools which sponsor Division I softball to compete in the 2011 NCAA Tournament. NCAA Regionals will take place May 20-22 at campus sites to gain 16 berths into the Super Regional round from May 27-29. Eight Super Regional winners will advance to the Women’s College World Series from June 2-8 at the ASA Don E. Porter Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Okla. The College World Series will be a double-elimination format with the two remaining squads facing off in a best-of-three format for the national championship. THE NCAA FIELD: The champions of 30 NCAA Division I conferences will automatically qualify for the 2011 championship. The remaining 34 teams will be selected at-large based on upon winloss record and strength of schedule. In addition, the committee will utilized the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) as a tool to evaluate teams. Representatives from the America East, Atlantic-10, Atlantic Coast, Atlantic Sun, Big 12, BIG EAST, Big South, Big Ten, Big West, Colonial Athletic Association, Conference USA, Horizon League, Ivy League, Metro Atlantic Athletic, MidAmerican, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley, Mountain West, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Pacific-10, Pacific Coast Softball, Patriot League, Southeastern, Southern, Southland, Southwestern Athletic, Summit League, Sun Belt and Western Athletic Conferences each qualify by winning their leagues. UT AGAINST 2010 NCAA/RANKED TEAMS: The Lady Vols are guaranteed to play against 11 opponents during the 2011 campaign that competed in the last year’s NCAA Tournament. Included in the Big Orange’s rugged schedule are three of the eight participants from the 2010 Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla., defending national champion UCLA, Florida and Georgia. Tennessee will also contest games against seven members of the final 2010 USA TODAY/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) poll. TENNESSEE’S SEVENTH STRAIGHT VISIT TO NCAA’S: The 2010 Tennessee Lady Vol softball team secured the program’s seventh consecutive trip to NCAA Regionals as the nation’s No. 15 seed and advanced all the way to the WCWS, Hosting the regional round for the sixth straight season, UT swept three tough contests from Ball State (5-0), Virginia (11-2) and Louisville (3-1, 9 inn.) to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals for the fourth time in program history and the first time since 2007. Facing the Lady Vols was a best-of-three series versus No. 2 national seed Michigan at the Wilpon Softball Complex in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Wolverines entered the super regional round having won 36 consecutive home games. Tennessee would shock the softball nation, however, by sweeping a pair of contests from Michigan (5-0 and 4-3) to advance on to the Big Orange’s fourth WCWS in the last six years. Once in Oklahoma City at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium, the Lady Vols kept rolling, racing past eventual national finalist No. 3 Arizona via run-rule (9-0, 5 inn.) and outlasting Southeastern Conference Eastern Division rival No. 9 Georgia (7-5) to get within one victory of a berth in the best-of-three WCWS Championship Series. Arizona got its revenge on UT, however, eliminating Tennessee 8-0 (5 inn.) and 5-2 to end the Orange & White’s magical run at 49-15 and third in the national rankings.

When the NCAA Selection Committee announced the 48-team field for the 1999 NCAA Softball Tournament, the Lady Vol softball squad heard the news it had been awaiting since the inception of its program in the fall of 1995. With a 44-25 overall record and a first-ever Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title on its resume, Jim Beitia’s club earned an at-large bid to one of the eight, six-team regional sites. As a third seed, Tennessee traveled to Seattle, Wash., for a first round meeting with number four seed Cal-State Fullerton. Host Washington, ranked sixth nationally, drew the top seed in the double-elimination event on its home field. While the Orange & White dropped both of its contests in the Pacific Northwest, the results failed to lessen the achievement of participating in the nation’s premier event after recording the program’s most successful campaign to date.
After recording a program-record 55 victories and picking up its first Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title since the 1999 season, the Tennessee Lady Vol softball team, under the direction of SEC Co-Head Coaches of the Year Ralph and Karen Weekly, continued its successful run by nabbing its first NCAA bid in five years. As the second seed in NCAA Regional No. 6, the Orange & White would travel to Ann Arbor, Mich., to participate in a double-elimination format. The Lady Vols opened the event by downing Illinois-Chicago to register the program’s initial NCAA Tournament victory and added another with a 4-0 defeat of the DePaul Blue Demons. Tennessee would be eliminated, however, from the rain-plagued event by suffering defeats to No. 18 Oregon State (4-0) and Illinois-Chicago (6-5). May 20, 2004 at Ann Arbor, Mich.

Following a stellar 59-13 regular-season, the Tennessee Lady Vol softball team was chosen to the NCAA Tournament field of 64 for the second consecutive season. As a bonus for their No. 11 national seeding, the Orange & White were allowed to host the NCAA Regional round at Tennessee’s Tyson Park. UT opened its tournament run with a dominating 9-0, fiveinning victory over Miami (Ohio) behind a two-hitter from hurler Monica Abbott. After a 4-0 throttling of College of Charleston advanced the Lady Vols to the regional title game, Abbott no-hit the Cougars in a rematch as sophomore shortstop Lindsay Schutzler delivered a crucial two-run home run in UT’s 2-0 win.

With the program’s first NCAA Regional title in its back pocket, UT was summoned to wing its way across the country to battle No. 4-ranked Stanford at the Smith Family Stadium in Palo Alto, Calif. Down to a best two-of-three game format, Tennessee made the most of its opportunity with consecutive shutout victories to take the crown and advance to the program’s initial berth in the Women’s College World Series. While Monica Abbott was in the process of striking out 12 Stanford hitters in a two-hit, 2-0 victory in game one, junior utility player Katherine Card was busy delivering an RBI single in the first and a solo home run in the sixth to give UT all the runs necessary to take a 1-0 series lead. Another solid pitching performance in game two by Abbott (one-hitter) was backed up by a five-run third inning outburst as the Orange downed SU 6-0. Three Cardinal errors led to three UT unearned runs. May 27, 2005 at Palo Alto, Calif.

Tennessee’s first-ever trip to the Women’s College World Series was just about everything that the squad and co-head coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly could have desired. Three stirring victories, lateinning heroics, national television coverage and big-game experience on the largest national stage in softball made UT’s visit to Oklahoma City, Okla., a memorable one. In the end, the Lady Vols finished third and came up just short of a berth in the NCAA Championship series.

In the sixth inning, Card singled down the right field line. Pinch-runner Ashley Cline, who was on second, raced around third and scored the game’s lone run as a result of a Wildcat throwing error. The victory was the 200th of Ralph and Karen Weekly’s UT coaching career.

A seventh-inning rally that saw the Lady Vols lace three hits came up just short. UT’s Monica Abbott allowed just one earned run in the contest.

Abbott pitched her third-straight complete game at the event, allowing just four hits and recorded eight K’s. With the victory in front of the largest crowd ever to see the Lady Vols play softball (6,148), UT advanced on to face No. 1 Michigan with a berth in the championship series on the line.
Perhaps the biggest home run in program history came at 1:21 a.m. CST in the 11th inning of UT’s elimination contest against No. 1 and eventual national champion Michigan. Freshman first baseman Tonya Callahan’s tworun walk-off bomb over the wall in left gave Tennessee a 2-0 victory and assured the Orange and White one more game at its initial Women’s College World Series.

With one down in the bottom of the 11th and at 1:21 a.m. CT, freshman first baseman Tonya Callahan ended the suspense with a towering shot just over the wall down the left field line to grant UT a 2-0 victory.

The Wolverines plated a run in the first off Abbott and added two more in the third on a two-run shot by Stephanie Bercaw. Freshman Natalie Brock helped UT get back in the game with a two-RBI double in the fifth. UT left a runner stranded at second in the seventh to fall short by just a single run.
Junior utility player Katherine Card hit a solid .375 at the Women’s College World Series on her way to all-tournament honors. In UT’s initial foray into WCWS play, the Soddy Daisy, Tenn., native’s single down the right field line in the sixth inning scored the Lady Vols’ lone run in a 1-0 victory over No. 4 Arizona.

In 37 innings of work at the WCWS, sophomore hurler Monica Abbott went 3-2 with a 0.76 ERA and 37 strikeouts. The 6’3” lefthander from Salinas, Calif., fired three shutouts in victories over Arizona, Alabama and Michigan in picking up all-tournament honors. In UT’s 2-0 win over the No. 1 Wolverines, Abbott worked a career-high 11 innings.

Stephanie Humphrey Sayne, Kendall Rainey (manager) Another dominating regular season and the first Southeastern Conference Tournament title in program history granted UT a ton of confidence heading into its third straight NCAA Tournament. For the second straight season, Tennessee’s Tyson Park would serve as host for the NCAA Regionals. In the regional opener the Big Orange found themselves down 4-2 to upstart Tennessee Tech after 3.5 innings and without Monica Abbott who had been lifted from the contest. UT rallied with a four-run fourth keyed by a two-RBI single by Sarah Fekete to survive 6-4. Waiting next for the Lady Vols was ACC Pitcher of the Year Angela Tincher and Virginia Tech. A first inning grand slam by clutch postseason performer Katherine Card set the tone as Tennessee rolled 9-1 (five inn.). With a berth in the NCAA Super Regionals hanging in the balance, #18 Louisville sent BIG EAST Pitcher of the Year Catherine Bishop to the circle to oppose Abbott. UT’s 6-3 lefty struck out 12 in a twohitter and the Orange & White rang up eight runs on 10 hits in an 8-1 rout.
The NCAA draw made sure that Tennessee’s initial stint hosting the Super Regional round would be a challenge as defending national champion Michigan ventured to Knoxville for a best-of-three game set. UT and the Maize & Blue had split a pair of epic contests at the WCWS in 2005 to eliminate the Lady Vols from title contention. Tennessee jumped on top 2-0 in the opener as a Tonya Callahan single and a Katherine Card sac fly plated a pair in the fourth. Michigan rallied to knot the score, but a three-run sixth from the Lady Vols keyed a 5-3 win. Abbott struck out 11 in the complete game. After UM’s Jennie Ritter got the measure of the Big Orange in game two by a 5-1 count, Tennessee sent Abbott back to the circle with an all-or-nothing game three waiting. She didn’t disappoint by twirling a fivehit, nine-K shutout as the Lady Vols prevailed 1-0. Clutch Card laced an RBI single to to right center in the sixth to score the game’s only run. UM loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh with two down, but Abbott struck out Rebekah Milian to end the series. May 27, 2006 at Knoxville, Tenn.

Monica Abbott struck out 15 and permitted just two earned runs on five hits, but an RBI single in the sixth and a solo home run by Darcy Sengewald in the seventh proved more than enough against UT’s anemic offense.

An ASU fielding error in the fifth provided UT with the game’s initial run, but the Sun Devils’ Heidi Knabe homered off Abbott to deadlock the contest at 1-1. Neither team could race in front until the ninth when freshman Jennifer Griffin delivered a clutch two-run homer to right center to seal the 3-1 win.
Tennessee enjoyed an enthusiastic fan following at the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla. With constant chants and cheering, the orange-clad partisans in attendance helped lead the Lady Vols past #1 UCLA, #9 Arizona State and #3 Arizona. They even showed true determination by lasting until the end of the opener against the Bruins that concluded at 2:01 a.m. local time.

UT took care of business in the opener by downing the Wildcats, 1-0. Abbott and UA’s Alicia Hollowell dueled through four scoreless frames before the clutch Katherine Card drove a Hollowell offering to deep center. Arizona’s Caitlin Lowe raced back and actually dove over the wall trying to make the catch. She didn’t come up with the ball as UT took the one-run lead. Abbott made it count in a two-hitter.

The Wildcats wasted no time jumping on Abbott by plating a pair of runs in both the first and second. Three uncharacteristic UT errors opened the door for three unearned runs as UA added single tallies in the third and sixth frames. Tennessee completed the 2006 campaign third nationally and with 61 victories against 12 losses for a program-best .836 win percentage.
The orange-clad partisans in attendance as well as the national television audience watched UT stave off elimination behind the efforts of WCWS and UT rookie Jennifer Griffin. The Whittier, Calif., native drove a pitch over the right center field wall in the ninth for a two-run, game-winning home run in UT’s 3-1 triumph. The above picture is from the moment of contact.

Despite suffering through a back injury for the majority of the 2006 campaign, senior designated player Kristi Durant demonstrated her grit and toughness by returning with a vengeance in the WCWS. The Placentia, Calif., native hit at a teambest .333 clip on her way to WCWS All-Tournament honors. She went 2-for-4 with two RBI in the upset of #1 UCLA.

The NCAA Super Regionals brought Tennessee a surprise, as No. 12 Hawai’i and its powerful offense roared into Knoxville after having taken down perennial power UCLA in the regionals. For freshman Anita Manuma, the visit had special significance, as her sister Valana Manuma played shortstop for the Rainbow Wahine. Having been on the mainland for weeks for conference and NCAA play, Hawai’i looked overwhelmed in the first game of the series as Abbott no-hit the Wahine and struck out 10 in a 9-0 (5 inn.) blowout. Freshman Tiffany Huff knocked in a career high five runs in the matchup. Hawai’i’s powerful bats got uncorked in the second contest by blasting three home runs and outlasting the Lady Vols, 9-6. UT plated four runs in the top of the seventh, but the rally proved fruitless.

Lillian Hammond, Tiffany Huff, India Chiles A 63-8 overall record and having spent a record 11 consecutive weeks atop the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll helped the national fifthseeded Tennessee Lady Vol softball team again draw hosting position for an NCAA Regional. For the third straight season, UT swept its three match-ups to advance on to the best-of-three Super Regional. In the opener, Tennessee senior pitcher Monica Abbott (5 IP, 0 H, 13 K) and junior hurler Megan Rhodes (1 IP, 0 H, 0 K) combined on a perfect game by facing the minimum of 18 Furman hitters over six frames. Up 2-0 heading to the fifth, a three-run blast by Shannon Doepking helped the Orange roll to an 8-0 (6 inn.) win. In a rematch of an early season match-up, UT plated a pair of runs in the first frame against North Carolina via a Tonya Callahan RBI single and a Doepking sacrifice fly. Abbott struck out 17 in a complete-game six-hitter. Unfortunately India Chiles also suffered a torn ACL on a play between first and second. In the regional title contest Tennessee bested Winthrop 7-0 behind RBIs from Anita Manuma, Alexia Clay and Kenora Posey. Abbott struck out 12 in a three-hit shutout.

Back at the Women’s College World Series for the third straight campaign, Tennessee took another major step by becoming the first team from the Southeastern Conference to reach the WCWS best-of-three Championship Series. After sweeping three games to reach the title set, UT nabbed the opener over No. 4 Arizona, 3-0. Unfortunately for the Big Orange, the Lady Vols dropped the final two games to the Wildcats to suffer heartbreak but still finished as the NCAA Division I runner-up for 2007.

Even with all that, the story of the game proved to be injured senior India Chiles singling in the eventual game-winning run in a crucial seventh-inning rally. The Big Orange also broke the WCWS single-game record for stolen bases by swiping five in the match-up with two steals each by Lindsay Schutzler and Kenora Posey and one from Erinn Webb.

Junior catcher Shannon Doepking’s solo blast off Arizona hurler Taryne Mowatt helped guide the Lady Vols to a 3-0 victory in the opening game of the best-of-three NCAA Championship Series against the Wildcats.

The 2007 campaign will go down as the most successful in program history for Tennessee for a variety of reasons after a second-place finish at the Women’s College World Series, the program’s first Southeastern Conference regular season title and the initial No. 1 ranking in school and league history. The season also will be remembered as one of disappointment after coming so very close to UT’s first softball national title before falling short in a 5-0 loss to No. 4 Arizona in Oklahoma City, Okla. UA erupted for five runs in the fifth to back a Taryne Mowatt shutout to win its eighth title.

The Tennessee Lady Vol softball team received its fifth consecutive bid to the NCAA Field of 64 and played host to its fourth consecutive NCAA Regional in 2008. UT managed a 3-2 overall record in the event, being eliminated in the championship contest by eventual Women’s College World Series participant Virginia Tech and its All-American hurler Angela Tincher by a 4-2 count. The Big Orange rode a combined one-hit shutout from Megan Rhodes and Ashton Ward to a 3-0 victory over Winthrop in both teams’ opener, marking UT’s 10 straight NCAA Regional victory dating back to 2004. Va. Tech utilized 14 strikeouts from Tincher and a surprise grand slam from No. 9 hitter Caroline Stolle to race past Tennessee 4-0 and drop the Lady Vols into the loser’s bracket. Forced into action again later that day, UT blew out Louisville, 8-1, as freshman Jen Lapicki blasted a homer and knocked in four runs. With only two teams remaining with a chance at NCAA Super Regionals, Tennessee would have to beat Tech twice in the same day to advance. The Big Orange used the Erinn Webb power show to drop the Hokies 7-1 in the opener as the Hemet, Calif., native hammered two home runs in the triumph. Up 1-0 after three innings and in possession of the momentum, UT was undone by a 50-minute rain delay. Following the break, Tech responded with a four-run top of the fourth to eventually prevail 4-2 and send UT home early.
The 2009 Tennessee Lady Vol softball team secured the program’s sixth consecutive trip to NCAA Regionals as the nation’s No. 13 seed for the second straight year. Hosting the regional round for the fifth consecutive season, UT advanced to the championship round of the event at Lee Stadium before dropping back-to-back match-ups to upstart Jacksonville State and ending its season at 40-18-1 overall. A clutch RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning from freshman third baseman Jessica Spigner backed 1.1 frames of scoreless relief by senior hurler Danielle Pieroni as Tennessee outlasted James Madison in its regional opener, 4-3. A 5-2 triumph over Nebraska on the strength of a clutch threerun, second-inning double by pinch hitter Ashton Ward sent the Big Orange through to face JSU for a place in NCAA Super Regionals. Jacksonville State wasted little time in getting to UT for a pair of runs in the second frame and four more in the sixth on the way to a 6-1 victory to force a championship-deciding game. Despite jumping in front 1-0 during the opening inning on a sacrifice fly from junior catcher Tiffany Huff, Tennessee watched the Gamecocks rally for single tallies in the top of the fourth and fifth innings versus Pieroni to eventually prevail, 2-1, and advance through to the best-of-three Super Regionals.

Tennessee picked up the national No. 15 seeding and earned the right to host NCAA Regionals in Knoxville for the sixth straight season. UT swept its three match-ups to advance on to a best-of-three Super Regional for the first time since 2007. In the opener versus Ball State, UT freshman pitcher Ivy Renfroe tossed a four-hit shutout in her first NCAA Tournament action as the Lady Vols prevailed, 5-0. Rookie second baseman Lauren Gibson had the big blow at the plate with a tone-setting, two-run homer during the Lady Vols’ three-run first inning. The Big Orange set numerous NCAA program records, including those for most single-game runs, hits and RBIs, in an 11-2 rout of Virginia to advance to the Knoxville Regional title tilt for the sixth consecutive campaign. Freshman left fielder Raven Chavanne equaled a program NCAA mark with four hits as part of a 4-for-5, two-RBI effort, while junior center fielder Kelly Grieve went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBIs and sophomore third baseman Jessica Spigner was 2-for-5 with two RBIs. Between Tennessee and its fourth all-time berth in the NCAA Super Regionals was Louisville, making its third trip to Knoxville for NCAA’s after previous visits in 2006 & 2008. UL struck first on a HR by clean-up hitter Chelsea Bemis in the second inning. A two-out single by Grieve and an RBI double off the bat of Spigner tied the score at 1-1 in the fifth. With regulation play not enough, the match-up progressed to the ninth frame where a lead-off double by Gibson started a two-run UT outburst. Sophomore pitcher Cat Hosfield, who had fired eight innings of four-hit ball, gave way to Renfroe in the circle. The 6-0 right hander worked a perfect ninth for the save as UT advanced on to super regionals.
Back in the NCAA Super Regionals for the first time since 2007, Tennessee was sent on the road to face No. 2 national seed Michigan. The powerful Wolverines entered the best-of three series having won 36 consecutive games at the Wilpon Softball Complex in Ann Arbor, Mich., dating back to the 2009 season. Right from the start in the series opener, UT freshman pitcher Ivy Renfroe took control from the circle, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning in an eventual 5-0 upset of the Maize & Blue. Junior center fielder Kelly Grieve proved the heroine at the plate by contributing three, two-out RBIs during the shocking Big Orange victory. With sophomore hurler Cat Hosfield keeping Michigan’s bats in check over the first four innings of game two, Tennessee used the long ball to race to a commanding 4-0 advantage. Seniors Nicole Kajitani and Erinn Webb blasted back-to-back home runs in the second inning, while Webb followed two innings later with her second big fly of the contest. UM clawed back within a run at 4-3 and loaded the bases with one out in the seventh against reliever Renfroe. The 6-0 righthander struck out dangerous third baseman Maggie Viefhaus and got catcher Roya St. Clair to line sharply to Ashley Andrews at short to set off Big Orange jubilation.

For the fourth time in program history, Tennessee earned its way to Oklahoma City for the Women’s College World Series and for the fourth time in the last six seasons, UT secured a top three national finish. The Big Orange opened its stay at the event with a 9-0 (5 inn.) rout of eventual WCWS finalist No. 3 Arizona and then bested Southeastern Conference Eastern Division rival No. 9 Georgia, 7-5, to reach the semifinal round. Unfortunately, needing just one win to reach the best-of-three WCWS Championship Series, UT suffered back-to-back losses to the Wildcats to finish its magical year at No. 3 in the national rankings and with a 49-15 overall record.

Renfroe (30-4) LP-Fowler (34-7) T-2:16 A-6547 Tennessee improved to a staggering 4-0 all-time in WCWS opening games with a 9-0 (5 inn.) rout of #3 Arizona to advance on into the winner’s bracket. The nine runs marked the most scored by the Lady Vols in a WCWS contest and the victory continued UT’s perfect run through the NCAA Tournament to that point, improving to 6-0. Freshman pitcher Ivy Renfroe limited the dangerous Wildcats to just three hits in a complete game to move to 30-4 on the season and become the only Lady Vol pitcher not named Monica Abbott to win 30 games in a season and post a victory at the WCWS. Senior first baseman Erinn Webb and sophomore third baseman Jessica Spigner each knocked in two runs to lead the offense. UA hurler Kenzie Fowler helped UT’s cause by being called for numerous illegal pitches from the circle, including one that plated Tennessee’s first run in the third.
NO. 16 TENNESSEE VS. NO. 9 GEORGIA WCWS GAME 6
Senior first baseman Erinn Webb races toward the plate ready to celebrate her crucial third-inning grand slam that gave #16 Tennessee a 6-0 lead over #9 Georgia in winners bracket action at the 2010 Women’s College World Series. The Big Orange eventually hung on to upset the Bulldogs, 7-5, moving within one victory of a berth in the best-of-three WCWS Championship Series.

Renfroe (31-4) LP-McCloud (13-2) T-2:54 A-8694 HR TN - Webb (9); UGA - Razey (14) A clutch grand slam from senior first baseman Erinn Webb helped power No. 16 Tennessee past old league rival No. 9 Georgia, 7-5, and advance the Lady Vols on to the WCWS semifinal round. Freshman pitcher Ivy Renfroe went the whole way from the circle, striking out 10 Bulldogs while recording her 14th career complete game to improve to 5-0 with a 1.21 ERA and 42 K’s in 34.2 innings of work during NCAA Tournament action. Four UGA pitches helped UT nab a 2-0 lead in the second frame before Webb blew things open with her third inning grand slam. Georgia rallied late, cutting its deficit to 7-5 and bringing the potential tying run to the plate in the seventh inning. A Renfroe K and a stellar play on a bouncer to third by Jessica Spigner ended the drama as UT prevailed.

As always Tennessee enjoyed tremendous fan support at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Okla. Despite temperatures that soared to as high as 105 degrees during the day, the Lady Vol fans hung in to cheer on UT through four high-profile match-ups.
Facing elimination from the WCWS, No. 3 Arizona turned the tables on No. 16 Tennessee by downing the Big Orange by run-rule, 8-0 (5 inn.), and forcing an “if necessary” contest for a berth in the best-of-three championship series. UA pitchers Kenzie Fowler and Sarah Akamine limited the Big Orange offense to just two hits (senior catcher Tiffany Huff, freshman pinch hitter Melissa Brown), while Ivy Renfroe took the loss for UT after allowing three earned runs on four hits with five K’s in 2.2 innings. Brittany Lastrapes and Karissa Buchanan each posted two RBIs for the ‘Cats.

Renfroe (31-6) T-2:42 A-5120 HR ARIZ - Chambers (18), Arredondo (7) Despite racing to a 2-0 lead heading into the bottom of the third inning, Tennessee was eliminated from the WCWS by No. 3 Arizona, 5-2. A bases-loaded walk by UT freshman second baseman Lauren Gibson granted the Lady Vols a 1-0 lead in the first and things looked promising as the Big Orange had entered the contest 39-4 in 2010 when scoring first. A beautiful Gibson slide around the UA catcher on a bloop single by senior catcher Tiffany Huff made it 2-0 in the top of third. Unfortunately for Tennessee, Arizona’s Stacie Chambers dead-locked the score at 2-2 on a tworun bomb in the bottom of the third. A one-out single by Bridgette Del Ponte in the fifth gave UA its first lead of the game. From there Brittany Lastrapes added a two-run HR just inside the right field fair pole to finalize the score at 5-2.

2011 TENNESSEE LADY VOL SOFTBALL
OLYMPIAN - MONICA ABBOTT Former Tennessee Lady Vol pitcher Monica Abbott was selected to represent her country as part of the prestigious United States Softball Team at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the People’s Republic of China. During her stay at the international competition, the Salinas, Calif., native performed superbly from the circle in helping guide Team USA to a silver medal. Her stat line was staggering: a squad-best 3-0 record, a 0.29 ERA, 32 strikeouts in just 24 innings of work while allowing the opposition to hit at just a .076 clip. The 6-3 lefthander also became the first American pitcher in Olympic history to fire a perfect game by blanking the Netherlands. Unfortunately a shocking defeat in the championship game to world power Japan cost Team USA the gold, but Abbott made the most of the experience. The pagentry of the opening and closing ceremonies, the Olympic Village, visiting with athletes from all over the world, the heart-pounding competition. In her own words, it was something she will never forget.
Monica Abbott in the circle, a face of utter concentration as she prepares to throw a practice pitch during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.
One of the best parts of the Olympic experience and attending the University of Tennessee is the impressive number of fellow Lady Vols who also make the trip in various sports. Here Abbott catches up with former Tennessee basketball players Candace Parker and Kara Lawson before opening ceremonies.
Abbott made her triumphant homecoming to Lee Softball Stadium and the University of Tennessee in front of a packed house of 1,622 fans on April 12, 2008, as the hurler and the U.S. Olympic Softball Team defeated the Lady Vols, 4-2. The 6-3 lefthander fired a complete game two-hitter with 11 strikeouts. Her former team did manage a pair of solo homers to nab a 2-0 lead and led the prestigious squad into the fifth inning before succumbing.
A moment that Abbott had long dreamed about, receiving her Olympic medal at the medal ceremony at Fengtai Softball Stadium.

been a member of the Southeastern Conference Executive Committee. As a former coach, Cronan served a two-year stint at Tennessee from 1968 to 1970. In 1969, she led the women’s basketball team to an alternate berth in the first-ever National Invitational Collegiate Basketball Tournament. While at Charleston, she continued her success, not only as a basketball coach but in tennis as well. In 1981, she gave up coaching to devote her full-time attention to her duties as teacher and athletics director. A graduate of LSU, Cronan earned her B.S. in 1966 and her M.S. in 1968, both in physical education. She was a fall 1995 inductee into LSU’s Alumni Hall of Distinction. Currently an avid golfer and tennis player, Cronan was ranked as high as second in the South in doubles and is a former state and Southern doubles champion. Cronan makes her home in Gettysvue. She and her late husband Tom, who passed away on Aug. 18, 2006, after a valiant battle with pancreatic cancer, have two daughters; Kristi (Mrs. Rhett Benner) and Stacey (Mrs. Kent Bristow), both 1994 graduates of UT; three grandsons, Chase Thomas and Reed Kent Bristow, and Quinn Leighton Benner; and two granddaughters, Reese Lauren Benner and Larkin Ann Bristow.
UT WOMEN’S ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Women’s Athletics Department at the University of Tennessee is to provide opportunities for intercollegiate athletic participation and academic excellence at the highest possible level. Our goal is to enable outstanding student-athletes to maximize their potential both athletically and academically, while maintaining an environment which fosters sportsmanship and integrity.

TRADITIONS/ENDOWMENTS 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.
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 studentathletes joined the ranks in 2007-08. 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
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.
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.
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 tryout group in the spring.
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP, you’ll always be Home sweet home to me; Good ol’ ROCKY TOP-ROCKY TOP Tennessee.
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.”
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.
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 University’s reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events.

The Endowments Scholarship endowments are an integral aspect of the UT Women’s Athletics Department. In order to ensure the continuance of the Lady Volunteer program in the future, the department has set a goal of having all women’s athletics scholarships fully endowed.
