2011 LADY VOL SOCCER SCHEDULE

Nov. 4, 2011 | Orange Beach Soccer Complex | Orange Beach, Ala.

Big Orange Slices...

We Have Loads of History at the SEC Tourney!  The Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team boasts a strong history of success in the annual SEC Tournament, rating second all-time in league annals behind Florida with four titles (2002, 2003, 2005, 2008). UT owns a 13-10-3 all-time record in the conference’s yearly showcase with its 13 victories rating second behind the Gators (35). Since the start of the 2002 event, the Big Orange is 13-5-3 with the four crowns. Over the past two seasons, the Lady Vols had lost in quarterfinal action, 1-0 (2OT) to #10 Florida (2009) and 1-0 (OT) to LSU (2010) before taking down Kentucky in the 2011 opening round, 2-1.

More SEC Honors...  The dynamic Tennessee forward duo of senior Emily Dowd (six goals, four assists in SEC action) and sophomore Caroline Brown (four goals, five assists in SEC action) were awarded ALL-SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE SECOND TEAM accolades while goalkeeper Julie Eckel (7-4 record, 0.97 GAA, 59 saves, five shutouts in SEC action) was tabbed to the SEC ALL-FRESHMAN TEAM for their outstanding efforts during the conference season. By virtue of their selections, they became the 24th, 25th, and 26th Lady Vols to be honored as All-SEC in program history and give the Big Orange 49 all-time nods to the all-conference squads. In all, 43 of those 49 selections have occurred during the 12-season tenure of head coach Angela Kelly.

Off to One of Our Best Starts EVER!  At 15-5-0 overall through its first 20 matches, Tennessee is off to one of the best starts to a campaign in program history. The best previous 20-match opening to a season was 15-3-2 (2004). With a run to a title at the SEC Tournament, the Lady Vols could equal the 2003 & 2004 UT teams for the second most wins in a single-season in school annals (17). A list of the top 21-match openings is below: Best 21-Match Records 1) 2004 15-4-2 2) 2003 15-4-2 3) 2007 15-4-2

4) 2002 5) 2005

15-5-1 14-5-2

On Yet Another Shutout Streak!  Apparently a school record streak of 471:10 from Aug. 26-Sept. 23 of this season wasn’t enough for the 2011 version of the Lady Vol soccer team. Until allowing a goal to Kentucky at the 10:41 mark in its opener at the SEC Tournament, the Big Orange had KEPT THE OPPOSITION OFF THE SCOREBOARD FOR THE LAST 266:44 dating back to the first half against Alabama on Oct. 20. It rated as the 12th longest shutout skein in school history.

One of UT’s All-Time Best Defenses!  The combination of Tennessee’s backline (most frequently made up of freshman Allie Sirna, junior Ali Hall and sophomores Tori Bailey and Caroline Capocaccia) and freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel have worked to turn in one of the best defensive seasons in Lady Vol soccer history. UT has permitted JUST 16 OPPONENT SCORES OVER ITS OPENING 20 MATCHES, rating as the second-best goals allowed mark in school history behind the 2004 Big Orange defense. That 2004 UT “D” was anchored by current Tennessee soccer assistant coach and then-senior All-American defender Keeley Dowling. A look at the finest

2011 LADY VOL SOCCER HONORS

20-match defensive efforts in Lady Vol history is below:  Several Lady Vol soccer players have already received either preseason or in-season accolades in 2011.

Fewest Goals Allowed Over First 20 Matches 2004 15 goals 2005 20 goals 2011 16 goals 2002 21 goals 2007 17 goals 2009 24 goals 2006 19 goals 2008 26 goals Looking at the Trends  At this point in any season certain trends begin developing statistically with a team and Tennessee soccer in 2011 is certainly no different. Entering the SEC Tournament, the Lady Vols are an impressive 11-0-0 during day matches but just 4-5-0 during night contests. UT is a perfect 8-0-0 when leading at the half, but only 1-3-0 when behind at the break and 7-5-0 when trailing or tied at the half. The Big Orange is 13-0-0 in contests in which they total at least two goals and just 2-5-0 when scoring a single tally or less. Tennessee is also 13-2-0 when permitting one goal or less and just 2-3-0 when allowing two or more scores.

Making The First Shot Count  The Lady Vols have made a habit of making their first shot really count. Five times this season (Charlotte, Coastal Carolina, #6 Florida, Arkansas, #22 Auburn) Tennessee has scored a goal on its initial attempt of the contest. Sophomore forward Caroline Brown turned the feat in back-to-back matches at 1:51 versus Charlotte (5-0 on 9/9) and at 4:04 against Coastal Carolina (4-0 on 9/16), junior forward Alexis Owens found paydirt at 4:05 of the 4-2 victory over the sixth-ranked Gators (9/25), senior forward Emily Dowd tickled the twine on the first shot at 6:44 during the 4-0 rout at Arkansas (10/2) and most recently, junior midfielder Amy Harrison scored just 2:33 into a 2-0 win over #22 Auburn (10/23).

UT Has THREE of Top Drawer Soccer’s Top 20 SEC Players  Top Drawer Soccer has released a list of what it deems the Top 20 Players in Southeastern Conference soccer and the Lady Vols are well represented. Sophomore forward Caroline Brown came in at #5, senior forward Emily Dowd was #8 and senior forward Chelsea Hatcher rated #16. Tennessee joined Florida and LSU as the only three league schools to boast a trio of players on the illustrious listing.

Chalk Up Another Rare Feat Achieved  Only once before in Lady Vol soccer history had two players totaled 10 or more goals during the same season. That occurred back during 1998 as Allison Campbell (17 goals) and Laura Lauter (12 goals) crossed into double-digits. Well Tennessee sophomore forward Caroline Brown (11 goals) and senior forward Emily Dowd (12 goals) have joined that duo in 2011. Brown scored her 10th during the thrilling rally past Ole Miss on Oct. 7, while Dowd hit double figures with her match-winner against Mississippi State on Oct. 9.

It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over!  The old adage proved especially true for the Big Orange soccer squad on Fri., Oct. 7, as Tennessee showed its match truly wasn’t over till it was over against Ole Miss. UT spotted the Rebels a 3-0 lead at the half before the Lady Vols began a stirring rally to post a 4-3 (OT) victory on senior forward Chelsea Hatcher’s “golden goal” at 91:33. The occurrence marked the LARGEST COMEBACK IN UT SOCCER HISTORY and also just the fourth time

Notes... in UT annals that the team allowed three goals during a match and still managed to win. The Orange & White spotted #15 Duke a 3-1 halftime lead back on Aug. 27, 2004, before rallying for a 4-3 (OT) triumph. Tennessee also emerged victorious over Georgia (4-3, OT) on Oct. 27, 2000, and Colorado College (7-5) on Nov. 1, 1998.

Eckel Now Holds the Freshman UT Keeper Records  By virtue of a 1-0 shutout win at Vanderbilt on Oct. 16, rookie net minder Julie Eckel has now taken control of the freshman single-season goalkeeping standards in Lady Vol history. Former Big Orange net minder Ellen Dean owned the previous rookie records of 11 victories and 5.3 shutouts established back in 1998 in helping Tennessee to a 12-8 overall record. Eckel currently sits at 15 WINS AND EIGHT SOLO SHUTOUTS THROUGH JUST HER FIRST 20 MATCHES in the Orange & White, leaving the Cordova, Tenn., native with plenty of opportunity to expand her new records down the stretch in 2011. Former Lady Vol GK Sarah Kitchin set the rookie mark for goals-against-average at 1.05 over just 10 matches as a sub back in 2006. Eckel is currently well ahead of that standard in possession of a 0.79 GAA. Happened for the First Time Since 2006  Senior forward Emily Dowd has accomplished something that no Lady Vol has pulled off since Kylee Rossi back in 2006. What is that feat you ask? Why she’s the first UT player since 2006 to score two goals in a match at least three times in a single season. The Gainesville, Fla., native has already tallied a pair of scores during wins over Middle Tennessee, Coastal Carolina and Arkansas. In fact, since Head Coach Angela Kelly took over the program in 2000, Dowd and Rossi are the only Tennessee players to accomplish it. During Kelly’s time at Rocky Top no one has ever scored two or more goals in a match four times in a year.

A Career Match & Week for Alexis Owens!  Junior Alexis Owens truly made her first start of the 2011 campaign a memorable one by registering the FIRST TENNESSEE HAT TRICK since Kayla Lockaby turned the feat back on Sept. 8, 2002, and only the 10th in UT history, during the Big Orange’s 4-2 victory over #6 Florida (9/25). She had entered the match with just two career goals over 43 matches to that point in her collegiate career.

As a result of her incredible effort, the Carmel, Ind., native also got to celebrate a highly-acclaimed week.

The 5-6 forward was chosen as both the UT program’s first-ever Soccer America Women’s National Player of the Week and NSCAA/Disney National Soccer Player of the Week. She was also included on the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week, as one of CollegeSoccer360.com’s National Primetime Performers and as the Southeastern Conference’s Co-Offensive Player of the Week.

For her selection as the NSCAA/Disney National Soccer Player of the Week, Owens was recognized on FOX Soccer Channel’s live broadcast of the North Carolina-Duke men’s soccer match on Fri., Sept. 30.

Brown/Dowd/Eckel and the Single Season Top 10  Tennessee sophomore forward Caroline Brown has now entered the Lady Vol single season Top 10 for points, rating in a tie for eighth with 30. The Hershey, Pa., native currently possesses 11 goals and eight assists in 2011, good enough for a tie for 10th and eighth, respectively, in those categories.

Senior forward Emily Dowd is also nearing the top 10 in all three single season ratings, currently tied for fifth in points with 31, tied for third in goals with 12 and needing one more assist (seven) to enter the lists.

Freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel currently rates third in UT single-season history in goals-against-average (0.78), tied for fifth in wins (15) and is fifth in solo shutouts (eight). For the single season Tennessee soccer marks please go to page six of these notes.

Looking at the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI)  The latest NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) for women’s soccer has been released (11/2) and the Southeastern Conference boasts eight of the top 50 teams in the listing. Florida leads the way at #10, followed by Kentucky (#17), TENNESSEE (#22), South Carolina (#26), Auburn (#27), LSU (#30), Georgia (#37) and Alabama (#47). The RPI is one of the factors utilized by the NCAA in handing out tourney seeds and slots in the annual NCAA Field of 64. It consists of three factors that are weighted as follows: a team’s Division I winning percentage (25%), opponent strength of schedule (50%) and opponents’ opponent strength of schedule (25%).

The Defense Kept Putting Up Zeroes!  Tennessee’s defensive backline made quite a statement from Aug. 26-Sept. 23 by continually putting zeroes up on the opponent’s side of the scoreboard. The Orange & White pitched a school record FIVE CONSECUTIVE SHUTOUTS (#18 Texas A&M, Middle Tennessee, UNC Greensboro, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina) and held the opposition scoreless over a PROGRAM RECORD STRETCH OF 471:10 from a Bruin goal at 84:22 during UT’s 2-1 loss to then-#8 UCLA on Aug. 26 until the 15:32 mark of the 2-1 (2OT) loss to South Carolina on Sept. 23 (parts of seven matches). Between the pipes freshman Julie Eckel stopped 23 straight opponent shots on frame during the shutout streak.

Dowd’s Doing Work  Senior forward Emily Dowd was wreaking havoc early on in 2011 by drawing three separate penalty kick calls inside the 18 that were often cashed in by others. Now the Gainesville, Fla., native is inputting herself on the stat sheet in a major way, having scored 12 GOALS AND DISHED SEVEN ASSISTS over Tennessee’s last 16 matches (Middle Tennessee, UNC Greensboro, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina, South Carolina, #6 Florida, LSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Alabama, #22 Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky - SEC). Included in that output are her THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH-CAREER MULTIPLE-GOAL EFFORTS (vs. Middle Tennessee, Coastal Carolina, at Arkansas), five-point performances with two scores and an assist during both 4-0 routs of Coastal Carolina and Arkansas and a goal and an assist in the 4-2 win over the sixth-ranked Gators. Her effort against Coastal Carolina earned Dowd her first career nod as the Southeastern Conference’s Offensive Player of the Week (Sept. 19).

Loads of Success Against NCAA Teams  Tennessee has come up big during the early season against programs that were a part of the 2010 NCAA Tournament. UT is 6-2 against last year’s entrants into the NCAA Field of 64 with wins over Oklahoma, #18 Texas A&M, Middle Tennessee, UNC Greensboro, #6 Florida and #22 Auburn and razor-thin losses to #8 UCLA (2-1) and South Carolina (2-1, 2OT).

Still Listed in the Rankings!  The stay in the national soccer polls continues for the Tennessee Lady Vols during the week of Oct. 31-Nov. 6. UT is currently No. 23 in the SoccerTimes.com listing but is now out of the Soccer America rankings after entering that poll on Sept. 5 for the first time since September 2008. UT is among those receiving votes in this week’s NSCAA/Continental Tire poll.

After starting off the campaign at 3-1 and upsetting then-#18 Texas A&M (1-0), Tennessee appeared in the national rankings for the first time since Aug. 24, 2009, (#23 in the Top Drawer Soccer poll) on Aug. 30, 2011,

Notes... climbing to #23 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire coaches poll and to #18 in the SoccerTimes.com listing. The last time UT had previously found itself among those teams in the weekly NSCAA coaches poll was on Sept. 9, 2008, also at #23.

Call Her “Caroline Clutch”  Tennessee sophomore Caroline Brown wasted little time in demonstrating her offensive prowess to open her second season in the Orange & White. The Hershey, Pa., native tallied three goals, including posting the first two-goal match of her career (vs. Oklahoma), with two of those being match-winners as the Lady Vols toppled Kansas (2-1, OT) and Oklahoma (3-1).

Brown was called upon for another penalty kick, this one against #18 Texas A&M in the 34th minute, and she knocked it home as UT posted a 1-0 upset of the highpowered defending Big 12 champion Aggies. The 5-9 forward now owns 14 career scores while amazingly, EIGHT OF THOSE GOALS ARE OF THE MATCH-WINNING VARIETY. With Tennessee locked in a scoreless duel late in regulation against Middle Tennessee (9/2), Brown delivered the first two-assist match of her career on a pair of perfect passes from the left wing to the far post that Emily Dowd buried in the twine just 1:17 apart as UT posted a 2-0 victory. In a 5-0 romp over Charlotte (9/9), she recorded her second two-goal effort of the season and set the early tone offensively for the Lady Vols with a score just 1:51 into the match. Versus Coastal Carolina (9/16), she again registered the winner on a goal just 4:04 into the 4-0 rout of the Chanticleers. Brown scored the tying goal at 53:16 of an eventual 2-1 (2OT) loss to South Carolina, dished two more assists in UT’s 4-2 victory over #6 Florida, posted a goal and an assist as Tennessee routed Arkansas, 4-0 (10/2) and picked up the winner at 49:41 of a 2-0 win at Georgia (10/29).

With 30 total points (11 goals, eight assists) over the Big Orange’s opening 20 contests of 2011, Brown has long surpassed her entire freshman season point output of eight points (three goals, two assists) done over 18 matches.

For her efforts during the road wins at KU and OU, Brown received nods as both the Southeastern Conference’s Offensive Player of the Week (8/22) and as one of CollegeSoccer360.com’s Primetime Performers of the Week.

Referees Keep Pointing to the Spot!  Through the opening 20 matches of the 2011 campaign, Tennessee soccer has drawn five penalty kick calls against the opposition. That’s already more than the Big Orange has ever drawn in any SINGLE SEASON! Twice previously the Lady Vols had attempted four PK’s in a season, 2001 (2-for-4) and 2003 (3-for-4).

UT is 3-for-5 on opportunities this year with two put away by Caroline Brown and one by Kylie Bono. Senior forward Emily Dowd has wreaked the most havoc inside the 18, drawing three of those penalties via her quick footwork in the box, while Brown and junior forward Alexis Owens also drew PK’s.

Check Us Out On the Tube in 2011  Tennessee soccer fans had three opportunities to check out the Big Orange on television during the 2011 regular season. UT is 3-0 on TV this year, having already downed Florida (Sept. 25 at 1 p.m. ET on CSS), 4-2, topped Vanderbilt (Oct. 16 at 1 p.m. CT) live on Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS), 1-0, and defeated #22 Auburn (Oct. 23 at 1 p.m. ET) live on FSN, 2-0. The Orange & White has seen a great deal of success on television during the program’s 16-year history, boasting a 28-9-3 (.738) RECORD IN 40 ALL-TIME APPEARANCES on the tube. Last season, Tennessee was 2-2 overall on TV with wins over Ole Miss (CSS) and Alabama (CSS) and losses at #13 Florida (SUN Sports) and at #14 South Carolina (ESPNU).

Getting Off to a Good Start in SEC Play is Important  Tennessee is 9-6-1 all-time in SEC lidlifters and 7-4-1 in such match-ups under the guidance of 12th year head coach Angela Kelly. At the Regal Soccer Stadium in SEC schedule openers, UT is 6-2-0 with the only losses occurring to No. 17 Vanderbilt back during the inaugural season of 1996 and to South Carolina this season (2-1, 2OT) on Sept. 23.

Early Success on the Road Has Often Been Elusive  By defeating Kansas and Oklahoma on the road over Aug. 19 & 21, the occurrence marked the first time that Tennessee soccer emerged victorious from its first two true road matches of the season since back during the 2001 season when UT toppled #13 BYU and James Madison in Provo, Utah, and Harrisonburg, Va., respectively.

WITH ITS 2-0 WIN AT UNC GREENSBORO (9/4), TENNESSEE WON ITS FIRST THREE TRUE ROAD MATCHES IN A SEASON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PROGRAM HISTORY. Perhaps every more stunning is the fact that the back-to-back victories at KU and OU marked the first time in program history that Tennessee won its first two matches of the season away from Knoxville (including neutral site contests). The closest the Big Orange had come previously was a 1-0-1 record back in 2009 against #19 Minnesota (0-0, 2OT) and Wisconsin (1-0) in Minneapolis, Minn. Once again the rugged scheduling of UT Coach Angela Kelly has often played a role in an earlyseason defeat.

Home Sweet Home  The Lady Vols have long made winning on their home pitch a priority. At 111-36-6 (.745) all-time at the Regal Soccer Stadium (previously the UT Soccer Complex) and 8-2 in 2011 (with wins over #18 Texas A&M, Middle Tennessee, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina, #6 Florida, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and #22 Auburn), Tennessee has averaged nearly seven wins a campaign in the friendly confines over program history. Last season, the Big Orange were 7-3-1 in Knoxville with victories over Western Kentucky, Richmond, Chattanooga, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Alabama and Georgia.

One of the Top Players in the Nation!  Tennessee senior forward Chelsea Hatcher found her way onto the 2011 preseason release of Top Drawer Soccer’s Top 100 Women’s Collegiate Soccer Players in the Nation. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native comes in at #84, joining seven other Southeastern Conference soccer players in the listing. Thus far in 2011, Hatcher owns five goals and five assists over the opening 20 contests.

Loads of Success for Tennessee in Home Openers  The Big Orange maintains a 13-3 all-time record in home openers, having suffered a tough, 2-1 loss to #15/8 UCLA during the First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic on Aug. 26. Under the guidance of Angela Kelly, UT is 9-3 in home openers with victories over rated foes including #6 Virginia (2006), #7 Penn State (2007), #15 Duke (2004) and #16 Wake Forest (2001).

First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic History  Tennessee hosted the 12th First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic over Aug. 26 & 28 at the Regal Soccer Stadium with the Big Orange finishing tied with #8/7 Florida for second with identical 1-1 records. #15/8 UCLA went 2-0 to take the overall prize while #18 Texas A&M finished its stay in Knoxville at 0-2. UT freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel, freshman defender Allie Sirna and sophomore forward Caroline Brown were selected to the First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic All-Tournament Team.

Never Started 3-0  Did you know that despite all the success the Tennessee Lady Vol soccer program has had throughout the years, the squad has never started a season 3-0. The 1997, 2003, 2007 and 2011 teams all opened a perfect 2-0 before dropping their next matches. A 2-1 loss to #15/8 UCLA on Aug. 26 dashed UT’s hopes of accomplishing the feat this season.

Of course the major reason a loss has often materialized during the early part of the year is the daunting non-conference schedule played by head coach Angela Kelly to prepare her team for the league and postseason slates. Among squads that UT has faced in that second or third match throughout the years (often on the road) are such foes as perennial national titlist North Carolina and nationally-rated squads such as Portland, Southern California, Washington, West Virginia, Penn State, Virginia, Maryland and UCLA just to name a few.

The scheduling system has often seemed to pay dividends down the road as UT has won three SEC regularseason crowns, four SEC Tournament titles and been to five NCAA Sweet 16’s.

Tennessee Season Openers  UT is 11-5 all-time in season openers, playing on the road or at a neutral site on eight occasions (3-5). The Big Orange has won seven of its last nine lidlifters including its 2011 opener, a 2-1 (OT) victory over Kansas on Aug. 19 at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex in Lawrence, Kan. A “Senior CLASS” Act!  Tennessee Lady Vol midfielder/forward Chelsea Hatcher was chosen as one of 30 national nominees for the 2011 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Women’s Soccer Award®. The accolade is given each season to a player who excels both on and off the pitch and best exemplifies the true definition of a “student-athlete.”

At the end of last season, Hatcher was honored with a spot on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Region Second Team and a place on the All-Southeastern Conference First Team after leading the Big Orange in goals (eight), points (20) and shots (105). The 5-7 midfielder/forward began the 2011 campaign with 11 career goals, six assists and 28 total points over 58 matches played during her three-year stint at Rocky Top. She had also moved into fifth all-time in UT history by launching 224 total shots (64 on frame).

The Opening Prelude...  The Big Orange opened the year with an exhibition match by traveling to Birmingham, Ala., on Fri., Aug. 12, for a 0-0 deadlock at Samford. In all, 20 different Lady Vol players saw action in the contest, including eight freshmen who drew their first playing time while clad in the Orange & White.

Tennessee rookie goalkeeper Julie Eckel managed five saves while combining with redshirt sophomore net minder Jessica Rolfs on the shutout.

UT senior forward Chelsea Hatcher led the Tennessee offensive effort with three total shots, two on frame, while junior midfielder Kylie Bono, senior forward Lara Langworthy and junior midfielder Amy Harrison were each credited with a drive on frame.

2011 Lady Vol Soccer...A Brief Preview  Tennessee enters the new campaign returning 16 letter-winners from last season’s squad that posted a 109-1 overall record while finishing third in the Southeastern Conference’s overall standings at 7-3-1. Included are players who scored 32 of UT’s 34 total goals and registered 89 of 97 combined points.

Among the returnees for the Big Orange (with last season’s stat total in parentheses) are 2010 National Soccer Coaches Association (NSCAA) All-South Region and first team All-Southeastern Conference midfielder/ forward Chelsea Hatcher (eight goals, four assists; Cincinnati, Ohio), forward Emily Dowd (seven goals, one assist; Gainesville, Fla.) and defender/forward Alexis Owens (one goal, two assists; Carmel, Ind.), experienced midfielders Kylie Bono (five goals, three assists; Yorba Linda, Calif.), Emily Shore (one goal, five assists; Gainesville, Fla.) and Amy Harrison (two goals; Winnipeg, Alberta, Canada), midfielder/forwards Caroline Brown (three goals, two assists; Hershey, Pa.), Sanna Saarinen (two goals, three assists; Espoo, Finland) and Lara Langworthy (Murfreesboro, Tenn.), midfielder/defender Tori Bailey (one goal, two assists; Fenton, Mich.) as well as battle-tested defenders Ali Hall (one goal, two assists; Hawthorn Woods, Ill.), Chelsea Kephart (1033 minutes in 2011; Cumming, Ga.) and Hannah Hut (Highlands Ranch, Colo.).

Strength of Schedule  Four of Tennessee’s 2011 opponents, Florida (#9), Texas A&M (#11), UCLA (#16) and South Carolina (#21), entered the season ranked in the initial NSCAA poll of the year (Aug. 9) (rankings in parentheses are preseason NSCAA).  UT will face eight squads that received bids into last year’s NCAA Field of 64 consisting of Auburn, Florida, Middle Tennessee, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas A&M, UCLA and UNC Greensboro. Four of those teams (Florida, South Carolina, Texas A&M and UCLA) reached the NCAA Second Round before being eliminated.

LAWRENCE, Kan. - A penalty drawn inside the 18-yard box by Lady Vol senior forward Emily Dowd at 97:16 was converted via a match-winning penalty kick by sophomore midfielder/forward Caroline Brown as Tennessee (1-0) fought back from an early one-score deficit to top Kansas, 2-1 (OT), on Fri., Aug. 19, in both teams’ 2011 season-opener at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex in Lawrence, Kan. Kansas managed to out-shoot the Big Orange by a razor-thin, 15-14 total and registered a 7-6 advantage in shots on frame, while each squad earned six corner kicks in the contest.

UT freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel earned her first career victory between the pipes by making six saves, including a match-saving stop by racing off her line with 3:31 left in overtime to thwart a breakaway by Kansas forward Ingrid Vidal.

Brown led the Lady Vol offense with four shots, including the penalty kick score. Dowd and senior forward Chelsea Hatcher each tallied a trio of shots, with the former launching all three of her drives successfully on frame.

The Jayhawks broke the scoreless dead-lock 13:18 into the match-up as a through ball from Whitney Berry up the middle to Jamie Fletcher gave her a step on her marker. One-on-one against Eckel, Fletcher scored from 14 yards out into bottom left corner.

In the 33rd minute of action, Tennessee crossed into the middle of the 18-yard box. Kansas midfielder Liana Salazar attempted to clear the ball but her sliding attempt ended up in the back of her own net to grant UT a match-tying own goal.

The Big Orange came oh so close to getting the winner in regulation in the 86th minute as Dowd made a great move to beat a KU player in the midfield. She fed up the right wing to Hatcher who crossed a ball to the left post. Brown was making a run to a spot, but just couldn’t quite get there as her sliding tap at the left post just drifted wide.

With approximately 1:31 remaining, UT again had a golden opportunity as Brown moved up the right side, got some space and fired a ball that appeared to be going into the net. A Lady Vol stationed at the left post tapped the shot in to make sure of the goal, but was ruled offside as the score was disallowed.

After Eckel saved the day by racing off her line with 3:31 left in the initial overtime to thwart a breakaway by KU’s Vidal, Dowd was taken down on the other end of the pitch inside the 18 to earn a penalty call. Brown was summoned to seal the deal and did her job by burying the ball in the left side of the net past Jayhawk keeper Kat Liebetrau to complete the season-opening triumph.

MATCH 3: #15/8 UCLA Fri., Aug. 26, 2011 - Knoxville, Tenn.

Regal Soccer Stadium (2,046) F 3 1

NORMAN, Okla. - The first two-goal game of sophomore midfielder/forward Caroline Brown’s collegiate career helped guide the Tennessee Lady Vol soccer squad (2-0) to a commanding 3-1 victory over Oklahoma (1-1) at the OU Soccer Complex in Norman, Okla.

Tennessee out-shot the Sooners by a 12-11 total and registered a 4-2 advantage in corner kicks.

In addition to Brown’s impressive scores at 59:45 and 65:38, junior midfielder Kylie Bono added a goal via a penalty kick at the 22:25 mark.

Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher and freshman forward Iyana Moore tallied their first assists of the season.

Things got a little hairy for the Orange during the ninth minute as a lead pass found Oklahoma’s Zoe Dickson in the clear. Eckel held her ground in a one-on-one situation, however, diving to her right and utilized her legs to make an incredible stop.

Tennessee’s initial goal-scoring sequence began with a long free kick taken from 40 yards out on the right wing by freshman defender Alison Clarke. Kylie Bono leapt and flicked a header from the middle of the 18 wide left of goal. Oklahoma keeper Kelsey Devonshire grabbed the ball and made a throw that ended up traveling right to UT senior forward Emily Dowd. She raced in quickly and made a move to beat the net minder as Devonshire tripped Dowd inside the box. The head referee ordered a penalty kick, and Bono stepped up and buried it in the left side of the twine to grant the Big Orange a 1-0 lead at 22:25.

The Sooners equalized at 30:35 as a through ball between Lady Vol defenders found Sage Coralli with a step on her marker out even with the right post. She moved in one-on-one against Eckel and fired over the UT freshman’s out-stretched hands from about eight yards to dead-lock the count at 1-1.

Tennessee moved back in front on the scoreboard at 59:45 via one of the toughest shots you’ll ever see succeed in the sport of soccer. Off a Big Orange throw-in, Hatcher lifted a ball that landed at Brown’s feet just inside the right boundary of the 18. From a very sharp angle off the side of frame, the Hershey, Pa., native lifted a shot over the keeper that traveled in at the top left corner and nestled in the netting just inside the left post.

The Lady Vols managed an insurance goal at 65:36 to nab a commanding 3-1 advantage over the Sooners. Located about 25 yards out in the middle of the pitch, Moore lifted an ambitious, high-arcing shot towards frame that’s trajectory literally saw the ball come down inches from the crossbar. OU’s keeper Devonshire had no choice but to leap and try to parry it over the bar, but her attempt popped straight up in the air and landed about three yards out near the right post. Brown was waiting right there to tap in her second goal of the match and provide Moore with her first collegiate assist.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - In front of the fifth-largest crowd in Regal Soccer Stadium history (2,046) on the opening evening of the First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic, the Tennessee Lady Vol soccer squad battled valiantly but saw its upset bid undone by #8 UCLA scores at 80:27 and 84:22 as the Bruins rallied for a 2-1 victory.

Big Orange senior forward Chelsea Hatcher granted UT the lead at 62:02 by registering her initial goal of the 2011 campaign off an assist from junior midfielder Kylie Bono.

For the match UCLA out-shot the Lady Vols, 21-11, but led Tennessee only 7-4 in both shots on frame and corner kicks.

UT freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel made five saves between the pipes, while her counterpart, UCLA’s Katelyn Rowland, stopped three shots.

The best early chance for the Lady Vols occurred at 20:21 as a lazer from approximately 22 yards out on the right wing by Caroline Brown ricocheted off the inside of the left post before being cleared.

In the opening half’s final seconds it appeared as if the Bruins had gone in front as a cross from the right wing was blasted home near the left post. The sideline official had his flag up, however, to signal that UCLA was offside as the two teams ventured to the break at 0-0.

During the 52nd minute Sydney Leroux unleashed another drive from about 16 yards out in the middle that Eckel stopped. The ball escaped from her grasp, however, and rolled over toward the right post as UT’s rookie net-minder quickly raced over and dove to corral the rebound before an approaching Bruin player could fire off a shot.

Tennessee’s opening salvo of the second half was a big one as Hatcher took a feed from Bono out on the right side of frame. With UCLA’s keeper apparently expecting a cross, Hatcher absolutely ripped a bending drive right inside the upright from a ridiculously sharp angle to grant the Big Orange a 1-0 advantage.

The Bruins finally managed an equalizer at 80:27 as a feed from Ally Courtnall from the middle of the 18 towards the right post was settled by forward Zakiya Bywaters about five yards out. She pivoted quickly and managed to beat Eckel from a sharp angle to dead-lock the count at 1-1.

During the 82nd minute Bono had a golden chance to push Tennessee back in front, but saw her drive from out front blocked by a UCLA defender.

With regulation time beginning to run short a shot by UCLA midfielder Sam Mewis was deflected

by Eckel but the sphere bounced back into play.

Leroux found herself in the right spot near the left post to clean up the deflection from six yards out and complete the 2-1, comeback victory.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - An outstanding Lady Vol defensive effort and a first-half penalty kick conversion from sophomore forward Caroline Brown helped the Tennessee soccer squad (3-1-0) to an impressive 1-0 victory over #18 Texas A&M at the Regal Soccer Stadium during final day action of the First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic.

The crucial penalty call was drawn by the slick footwork of UT junior Alexis Owens at 34:16. The Carmel, Ind., native managed to get past diving Aggie goalkeeper Jordan Day inside the 18-yard box, forcing the net-minder into a tripping call that left no option but for the head official to point to the penalty spot. For Brown the penalty kick conversion raised her team-leading total to four goals over the first four matches of 2011.

In a very physical match that saw each team whistled for 15 fouls with five total yellow cards issued (three for the Aggies), Texas A&M out-shot the Lady Vols by a 15-8 margin and 6-3 in shots on frame, but the Big Orange managed a 4-3 advantage on corner kicks.

On her way to earning First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic All-Tournament honors alongside her teammates Brown and freshman defender Allie Sirna, rookie goalkeeper Julie Eckel made five stops in securing the third triumph of her brief collegiate career and her first solo shutout.

Things got a little hairy for the Lady Vols in the 32nd and 33rd minutes as Kelley Monogue launched back-to-back shots over a 1:06 time frame that ricocheted off the crossbar and right post.

After UT escaped the close calls unscathed, it was Owens’ chance to shine at 34:16 as a ball played into the middle of the 18 by freshman forward Iyana Moore landed at the feet of Owens.

She pivoted quickly and managed to get around the keeper Jordan Day whose only option was to trip the UT player to save a potential score. The head official pointed at the spot and Brown calmly stepped up to drive home her fourth goal of the season for a vital 1-0 lead.

At 57:44 the UT backline again saved the day as a Lady Vol positioned near the goal line managed to keep a shot from A&M defender Meghan Streight from going in the net via a vital team save.

With the Aggies ramping up the heat in a desperate attempt to draw even, things got a little chippy as the head official ended up displaying five total yellow cards, including two on each team over a stretch from 74:27 to 84:11.

As regulation time began to ebb away, Eckel continued her inspired play between the pipes, stopping shots from Merritt Mathias at 80:46 and 82:04. On the latter of the two stops the Cordova, Tenn., native managed to deflect the drive outside the right post, but saw the ball land about a foot over the end line. On the resulting A&M corner, Eckel managed to leap high in the midst of a crowd inside the six-yard box to punch the cross out of danger.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - With the Big Orange in need of a late spark in a scoreless contest, Tennessee senior forward Emily Dowd provided just that by tallying goals in both the 82nd and 83rd minutes, off assists from sophomore forward Caroline Brown, to lead the Lady Vol soccer squad (4-1-0) past Middle Tennessee, 2-0.

With the victory, UT equaled its best fivematch start in program history done by both the 2002 and 2003 Orange & White squads on the way to eventual NCAA Sweet 16 appearances.

Dowd’s scores marked her first two of the campaign, while Brown surpassed her entire 2010 point total (eight) over just five matches in 2011 with four goals and two assists (10 points). Junior midfielder Kylie Bono fired a game-high five shots for the Lady Vols, while junior defender Ali Hall, seeing her first match action of the season, tantalizingly hit the crossbar with a sliding drive at 54:36.

Tennessee out-shot the Blue Raiders, 21-15, including a staggering 12-3 advantage during the second half of the contest, and won the corner kick battle, 12-7.

UT freshman keeper Julie Eckel made a careerhigh eight saves in posting her second consecutive solo shutout as the Lady Vol defense hasn’t allowed a goal over the last 185:38 of game action.

With regulation time beginning to ebb away, the Big Orange finally struck at 81:24 as a Brown cross from the left wing was perfectly placed to Dowd charging in toward the right post. An easy tap-in from about two yards was all that was required to grant UT a 1-0 lead.

It seemed like a near replay just 1:17 later as Brown fed a through ball to Dowd in the clear racing up the right side. She moved in on frame oneon-one versus Cushing and easily deposited her second goal of the night in the lower left corner of the twine.

From there UT burnt off the remaining time, refusing to allow Middle Tennessee much possession and zero shots in the offensive end to secure the 2-0 victory.

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Goals from junior midfielder Kylie Bono and junior forward Alexis Owens proved plenty on Sun., Sept 4, at the UNCG Soccer Stadium in Greensboro, N.C., as Tennessee soccer improved to 5-1 overall with a commanding 2-0 victory over the UNC Greensboro Spartans.

The Big Orange posted its third consecutive shutout and have kept the opposition scoreless for a streak of 275:38 since the 82nd minute of its match against #15/8 UCLA on Aug. 26.

At 5-1 to start the year, the Lady Vols also equaled the 2002 & 2003 UT squads for the best six-match start in program history.

Tennessee out-shot the Spartans by a commanding 16-5 total, including 8-2 in the opening frame and 8-3 over the second stanza.

For Bono the first half goal and her assist on Owens’ score marked the second of the campaign for the Yorba Linda, Calif., native in each category.

Owens’ goal was her initial tally of 2011 and just the second of her career in the Orange & White.

Freshman forward Iyana Moore was credited with the second assist of her brief career on Bono’s goal. Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher, junior midfielder Amy Harrison, sophomore forward Caroline Brown and Bono each led the Lady Vol offensive change with three shots each.

Freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel posted five saves between the pipes in improving to 5-1-0 overall with three straight solo blankings.

With the Big Orange offense controlling the majority of possession, senior forward Emily Dowd made a run into the right side of the 18 during the 29th minute. As the keeper raced off her line in an attempt to thwart a scoring chance, Dowd beat her with a right-to-left move as the GK brought her down inside the box. The head official pointed to the spot, giving Tennessee its fifth penalty kick in six matches and marking the third PK drawn by Dowd in 2011. Unfortunately, the penalty try by Bono was stopped by Kelsey Kearney and cleared away to maintain the 0-0 dead-lock.

After literally dominating possession throughout the opening stanza, Tennessee finally got on the scoreboard at 43:20. A quick shot by Moore from out front was blocked by the UNCG defense.

The ball caromed right to the feet of Bono who pivoted and fired a drive from approximately 15 yards out in the middle that hit off the inside of the right post before traveling all the way across the mouth of the goal and into the lower left corner to make it 1-0.

It seemed just a matter of time before Tennessee found a second goal, and it was delivered at 82:22. Bono played a through ball up the middle of the pitch that located Owens with a step on her marker. She took a quick dribble and beat the keeper to the right side from approximately 14 yards out for her first goal of the season and a 2-0 advantage.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee soccer’s shutout streak improved to four straight matches as the Lady Vols scored early and often in blanking Charlotte, 5-0, in front of 1,445 fans on Fri., Sept. 9, at the Regal Soccer Stadium.

The occurrence marked just the second time in program history that UT registered four consecutive shutouts (Oct. 28 -Nov. 6, 2007), while the opposition’s scoreless streak of 365:38 marked the fifth-longest such skein in Big Orange annals.

UT got the team-leading fifth and sixth goals of the season from sophomore forward Caroline Brown, the third goal of the campaign as well as two assists from senior forward Emily Dowd, the first tally of the year by junior midfielder Amy Harrison and the initial goal of freshman midfielder Lexi Krause’s brief career at Rocky Top during the rout.

Junior midfielder Kylie Bono (team-leading third assist of 2011), junior forward Alexis Owens (first assist), sophomore midfielder Sanna Saarinen (first assist) and senior forward Chelsea Hatcher (second assist) were each credited with assists.

Lady Vol freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel made three saves while lowering her goals-against-average to 0.57, combining with redshirt sophomore Jessica Rolfs (6:15 of action) on the squad’s fourth straight shutout.

Tennessee managed to get a total of 22 players into the contest. Included was the first collegiate action for freshmen Kaelyn Angelo and Tyler Law (six minutes each).

UT out-shot the 49ers by a 23-10 total, including 12-5 in the first half and 11-5 in the second stanza, and won the corner kick category by a commanding 10-2 count.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - With a commanding 4-0 victory over Coastal Carolina on Friday night in front of 1,017 fans at the Regal Soccer Stadium, the Tennessee soccer team made program history. At 7-1 overall the Lady Vols got off to the best start in school annals, while the blanking of the Chanticleers marked UT’s school record fifthconsecutive shutout.

The Big Orange have now held the opposition scoreless over a stretch of 455:38, the second longest such skein in school history, just 1:57 from equaling the program’s longest shutout streak of 457:35 that occurred from Sept. 7-21, 2007.

Tennessee out-shot Coastal Carolina by a staggering 27-4 total, including 14-2 in the first half and 13-2 over the second stanza, and tallied a 12-1 advantage on corner kicks.

Sophomore forward Caroline Brown continued her incredible clutch efforts by registering her team-leading seventh goal of the season and NCAA Division I best fifth match-winning score just 4:04 into the contest. Senior forward Emily Dowd registered her second two-goal effort of the campaign by tickling the twine at 18:46 and 54:22 to give the Gainesville, Fla., native five tallies for the year while also adding an assist for five total points. Junior midfielder Kylie Bono picked up her third goal of 2011 at 12:08 off helpers from Brown and Dowd. Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher and junior midfielder Amy Harrison were credited with their third and first assists of the season, respectively.

Between the pipes, freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel worked the first 81:04 of match time and wasn’t forced to make a single save in participating in her fifth consecutive shutout. Redshirt sophomore RB Wyatt finished off the blanking by working the final 8:56 of the contest in her first action of the season.

For the second straight contest, Tennessee scored on its first shot of the match as Brown tallied just 4:04 in.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - In front of the second largest crowd in Lady Vol soccer history (2,846 fans) on Fri., Sept. 23, at the Regal Soccer Stadium, #11 Tennessee managed to set an all-time program shutout record at 471:10 of game action but lost a 2-1 (2OT) heartbreaker to South Carolina in the league opener for both squads.

The Big Orange out-shot the Gamecocks 24-20 for the match and managed a 7-5 advantage on corner kicks. UT received the team-leading eighth goal of the season from sophomore forward Caroline Brown at 53:16, while senior forward Chelsea Hatcher picked up her squad-high fourth assist of the campaign. Freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel was required to make six saves over her 106:54 of action between the pipes.

When S.C. scored 15:32 into the contest, Tennessee saw an end to its shutout streak at 471:10, but that total surpassed the previous program benchmark of 457:35 that was established from Sept. 7-21, 2007. In all, the Lady Vols strung together their record skein over portions of seven matches, originally starting late in the 2-1 defeat to #8 UCLA on Aug. 26.

UT got oh-so-close to scoring first at 14:27 as a pass from the right wing by senior forward Emily Dowd was tapped from the middle to the left post.

Sophomore midfielder Sanna Saarinen flicked a header towards goal that proved just inches high, landing on top of the netting for a goal kick.

Unfortunately, the Gamecocks took advantage of the near miss by registering the match’s opening goal just 1:05 later. A header from the left post into the middle was volleyed home from 12 yards out by midfielder Kortney Rhoades to make it 1-0.

Right out of the halftime locker room, Tennessee had a golden chance as Dowd broke in one-on-one against D’Angelo at 47:25. The Gainesville, Fla., native’s initial shot was saved, but the ball got past the keeper and headed towards the net. South Carolina’s Christa Neary raced back quickly and cleared the potential goal away only about two yards out to maintain the advantage.

With the Lady Vols applying strong pressure, UT finally struck pay dirt at 53:16. A cross by Hatcher from the right wing to the left post was volleyed home from approximately eight yards out by Brown to dead-lock the score at 1-1.

The end came suddenly in the second overtime during the 106th minute of play as a long through ball up the middle from Kayla Grimsley found Rhoades in some space. She managed to beat Eckel from 12 yards out to end the match via “sudden victory.”

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Behind the first career hat trick from junior forward Alexis Owens in her initial start of 2011, the 11th-ranked Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team powered past the sixth-ranked Florida Gators, 4-2, in front of 1,480 fans (including U.S. soccer legend Mia Hamm) at the Regal Soccer Stadium.

With the triumph the Lady Vols improved to an impressive 5-0-1 over their last six matches against Florida in Knoxville and haven’t lost to the Gators on the home pitch since Oct. 5, 1999. The four goals also are the most tallies for UT in a league contest since topping Mississippi State, 4-0, back on Oct. 21, 2007.

The three-goal performance by Owens marked the first for a Tennessee soccer player since Kayla Lockaby’s hat trick against Murray State way back on Sept. 8, 2002. Owens, a Carmel, Ind., native, had entered today’s match against UF with just two career goals over 43 previous matches.

Lady Vol senior forward Emily Dowd chipped in her sixth goal of the season to complete the scoring for UT and assisted on Owens’ initial tally to make it four multiple-point efforts for the Gainesville, Fla., product over UT’s last six contests.

Sophomore forward Caroline Brown contributed a pair of assists, improving her team-high point total to 21 on eight goals and five helpers in 2011.

For the third time in 2011, Tennessee scored on its initial shot of the match as Dowd delivered a perfect through ball up the right wing to Owens who buried a shot from 10 yards out past Florida keeper Taylor Burke just 4:05 in.

Tennessee continued to press the advantage on the Florida end for the majority of the first half.

At the 22:37 mark, Dowd granted the Lady Vols a 2-0 lead, taking a through ball from Brown and blasting it to the far side of the net from 12 yards out for her sixth goal of the campaign.

With the Gators owning just a single shot to that point in the opening stanza via a header wide from forward McKenzie Barney at 13:01, Owens continued the Big Orange onslaught 13 minutes later. She won a one-on-one battle with a Gator defender, taking the ball into the box and sliding it past Burke to improve the advantage to a staggering 3-0 at the 35:48 mark. That marked the first time in the history of the series between the two schools that UT had recorded three scores in a match versus UF. With Florida within 3-2, pressing hard for an equalizer and having shots by Annie Speese and Havana Solaun blocked by UT defenders, it proved to be Tennessee that would finally seal things at 85:11. Brown delivered another perfect feed up the left wing to Owens, who scored from six yards out near the left post to finalize the huge victory.

BATON ROUGE, La. - Goals by Natalie Ieyoub at 33:36 and Addie Eggleston at 61:10 proved enough for LSU (8-3-1, 3-0-0 Southeastern Conference) in front of 1,284 fans at the LSU Soccer Complex as the Tigers scored during each half in topping the #10 Tennessee Lady Vols (8-3-0, 1-2-0 SEC), 2-0.

The Bayou Bengals out-shot the Big Orange by a 14-7 count and 4-2 in shots on frame, while UT registered an 8-1 advantage on corner kicks in the contest.

Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher led the Lady Vol offense by taking four total shots, one on goal, while senior forward Emily Dowd was credited with Tennessee’s other drive on net. Freshman keeper Julie Eckel made two saves over 90 minutes of work in falling to 8-3 on the season.

The Big Orange managed its initial shot of the contest at 24:10 as a long try from well out front

by Hatcher was blocked by the LSU defense. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native was right back at it just 35 seconds later as her drive on target forced Bayou Bengal keeper Mo Isom into her initial save of the match.

It proved a quick shot from the top of the box at 33:36 by LSU substitute Natalie Ieyoub that finally broke the scoreless dead-lock. Off a pair of quick touch passes, Ieyoub received the ball at her feet, moved quickly to her right into the middle of the pitch and blasted a shot from the top of the box. The blast just eluded a leaping Eckel, hit off the underside of the crossbar and bounced on into the net for a 1-0 Tiger lead.

Perhaps the most dangerous offensive chance for the Big Orange in the contest came at 60:20 after some solid work against two defenders on the left side of goal by junior forward Alexis Owens. The Carmel, Ind., product delivered a pass towards the middle that found Dowd standing about 12 yards out. She turned quickly and ripped a blast that was barely parried away by the LSU keeper Isom for a corner kick.

It proved an unfortunate slip on a quick cut by a member of UT’s backline way up in LSU’s offensive zone that eventually resulted in a two-goal Bayou Bengal lead. With Tennessee threatening offensively, the Lady Vol slip resulted in a turnover and a quick Tiger counter attack. With the advantage of numbers, Allysha Chapman located forward Addie Eggleston racing up the pitch with a small step on her marker. The Bayou Bengal fired in a virtual one-vs.-one situation, beating a charging Eckel from approximately 10 yards out to make it 2-0.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - – In front of 743 fans at Razorback Field in Fayetteville, Ark., the #10 Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team (9-3-0, 2-2-0 Southeastern Conference) bounced back from a disappointing Friday night defeat in a major way by routing the Arkansas Razorbacks (4-6-0, 2-2-0 SEC), 4-0.

Senior forward Emily Dowd led the UT offense, recording her fifth-career multiple-goal effort by tallying her seventh and eighth goals of 2011 and dishing an assist for five total points. Sophomore forward Caroline Brown registered her teamleading ninth goal of the campaign at 69:22 to finalize the Big Orange scoring. UT also got a Razorback own goal at 53:54 as UA defender Courtney Williams chipped a cross into her own net on a clearing attempt.

The Lady Vols out-shot the Razorbacks by an 18-17 count, including 12-9 in shots on frame, while each squad posted seven corner kicks in the match.

Freshman net minder Julie Eckel made a career high nine saves in recording her fourth career solo and first SEC shutout.

Tennessee’s offense wasted no time getting on the board in the match as sophomore midfielder Sanna Saarinen located Brown on the right side near the end line. The Hershey, Pa., native delivered a pass into the middle that Dowd finished from approx. seven yards out for a quick 1-0 lead at 6:44. The occurrence marked the fourth time this season that the Lady Vols had scored on their initial shot of the contest.

Before the UT fans in attendance had even stopped celebrating the first UT score, Dowd delivered again just 1:05 later. The Gainesville, Fla., product broke a tackle and made a quick left-to-right move to beat Arkansas keeper Emily Lillard before an easy finish from six yards out for a 2-0 advantage.

The Big Orange got a little assistance at 53:54 to move in front 3-0 as senior forward Chelsea Hatcher crossed a ball into the middle of the sixyard box. Back defending on the play, Arkansas’ Courtney Williams ended up in front of her keeper and kicked the ball into her own net while attempting to chip the ball up and over the cross bar.

With 23:15 left Dowd came oh so close to totaling the hat trick, receiving a long ball up the middle from Hatcher, moving to her right and firing just wide left of the post.

A perfect through ball from the middle of the pitch up the right wing resulted in UT’s fourth tally of the match at 69:17. Dowd delivered the feed between Arkansas defenders right to Brown who quickly deposited the shot to the left of Lillard for a 4-0 Tennessee advantage.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - In what will surely go down as one of the wildest matches in Regal Soccer Stadium history, the #15 Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team fought back from a three-goal halftime deficit to register a thrilling, 4-3 (OT) triumph over Ole Miss in front of 1,215 fans on Fri., Oct. 7.

The final blow came just 1:33 into the initial “sudden victory” overtime period as UT senior forward Chelsea Hatcher blasted home her second goal of the year on a drive into the upper left corner of the twine from a position just inside the right edge of the 18-yard box. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native took a school single-match record 14 shots during the contest, while putting a staggering eight of those on frame.

The Big Orange began its rally behind the second score of the year from junior midfielder Amy Harrison at 58:27. The Lady Vols completed their comeback to force extra-time behind the ninth tally of the campaign from senior forward Emily Dowd at 60:24 and the team-leading 10th goal of 2011 from sophomore forward Caroline Brown at 79:53.

Seeing her first SEC action this season after dealing with an injury, senior midfielder Emily Shore recorded her initial assist. Brown was credited with her squad-high seventh helper of the campaign via Dowd’s 61st minute score, and junior midfielder Kylie Bono delivered her fourth assist on Hatcher’s match-winner.

For the match Tennessee out-shot the Rebels by a staggering 30-8 count, including 14-2 in the second stanza and had a 13-4 edge on corner kicks. UT also forced Ole Miss into 10 saves in the contest, nine of those coming courtesy of freshman net minder Kelly McCormick.

Ole Miss midfielder Dylan Jordan, a native of Palmyra, Tenn., put up a natural hat trick against the Lady Vols over the match’s first 31:20 before Tennessee began its stirring rally.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The team-high-tying 10th goal of the season from senior forward Emily Dowd and the third score of the year by senior forward Chelsea Hatcher proved plenty as the #15 Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team turned in a workmanlike effort on Sunday afternoon in front of 1,378 fans at the Regal Soccer Stadium by dispatching Mississippi State, 2-0.

Dowd registered her third match-winner of the season and, in the process, also tallied the 20th goal of her career by scoring at 15:05 off the fifth assist of 2011 from junior midfielder Kylie Bono.

Hatcher slammed home her third goal of the campaign at 48:52, while Dowd was credited with her sixth helper on the score.

By registering her 10th goal, Dowd joined fellow Lady Vol Caroline Brown (10 goals) as the first Tennessee soccer duo to each cross the doubledigit scoring plateau during the same season since Allison Campbell (17 goals) and Laura Lauter (12 goals) completed the feat way back in 1998.

UT rookie goalkeeper Julie Eckel also equaled former Lady Vol Ellen Dean’s (1998-2000, 2002) freshman victory record at Rocky Top by recording her 11th win between the pipes. The Cordova, Tenn., native made five saves in picking up her fifth solo shutout of the year and her second in league action.

Overall, Tennessee out-shot the Bulldogs, 18-10, including 10-5 in shots on goals and managed an 8-0 advantage on corner kicks.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - On a cold and blustery Friday night at the UK Soccer Complex in Lexington, Ky., a 106th minute “golden goal” from midfielder Natalie Horner led Kentucky (11-4-0, 4-3-0 Southeastern Conference) to a 1-0 (2OT) upset victory over #14 Tennessee (11-4-0, 4-3-0 SEC).

The Wildcats out-shot the Big Orange by a 21-11 count, including 7-3 on shots on goal, and led 7-4 on corner kicks in the match.

UT freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel was credited with five saves in the contest while suffering the difficult defeat between the pipes.

Sophomore forward Caroline Brown led the Lady Vol offense with five shots and two on frame, while junior midfielder Kylie Bono tallied three shots (one on goal).

Off a quick UT counter-attack with approximately five minutes remaining in the second OT, senior forward Emily Dowd had a great chance in some space, but her shot was blocked.

Right back the other way, some contact inside the right side of the 18 went against UT as a Lady Vol fell down and Natalie Horner ended up with room on the right wing. She fired in what amounted to a one-on-one situation against Eckel and managed to score into the upper quadrant of the net to conclude the overtime battle.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The first goal of the season on a terrific individual effort from sophomore defender Tori Bailey at the 83:45 mark proved enough to lead the #14 Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team (12-4, 5-3 Southeastern Conference) past Vanderbilt (8-8, 2-6 SEC), 1-0, on a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon at the VU Soccer Complex in Nashville, Tenn.

Bailey began the decisive play about 40 yards out towards midfield, dribbling to the middle of the pitch, beating a pair of Commodore defenders and uncorking a left-footed shot from just outside the top of the 18-yard box that traveled into the upper left corner of the net.

Big Orange freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel made seven saves in improving to 12-4 overall, breaking former Lady Vol Ellen Dean’s Tennessee single-season rookie GK victory (11) and shutout (5.3) records set way back in 1998.

UT out-shot the Commodores by a 16-13 count and 8-7 on shots on frame, while recording a dominant 9-2 advantage on corner kicks.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - A 14th minute goal from Alabama forward Pia Rijsdijk proved enough as the Crimson Tide (8-7-2, 3-5-1 Southeastern Conference) posted a 1-0 upset victory over the #19 Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team (12-5, 5-4 SEC) on a cold Thursday night at the UA Soccer Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. UA out-shot the Lady Vols by a 20-18 count, including 10-6 in shots on goal, while the Big Orange owned the corner kick advantage at 10-7.

Tennessee freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel tied a single-game career high by making nine saves against the Crimson Tide. UT senior forward Chelsea Hatcher led the offense with seven shots, two on frame, while sophomore forward Caroline Brown registered four shots.

The Crimson Tide managed to nab an early lead just 13:57 into the match as the result of a failed clearance by UT. Off a ricochet the ball bounced out in the middle to Rijsdijk who drilled a one-touch shot from the top of the 18 just inside the right post for a 1-0 lead.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in front of 1,389 fans at the Regal Soccer Stadium, the #19 Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team (13-5-0, 6-4-0 Southeastern Conference) celebrated its “Senior Day” festivities in true style by riding goals from junior midfielder Amy Harrison and senior honoree Chelsea Hatcher to a commanding 2-0 victory over #22 Auburn (11-5-2, 5-4-1 SEC).

With the triumph, the Big Orange secured its 14th consecutive berth in the annual SEC Tournament to be held over Nov. 2-6 in Orange Beach, Ala. Harrison got the Big Orange attack going by blasting home her third goal of the campaign just 2:33 into the contest. The occurrence marked the fifth time in 2011 that the Big Orange scored on its very first shot of a match. For Hatcher the goal marked her fourth of the year and provided valuable insurance at the 54:55 mark. Fellow “Senior Day” honoree Emily Dowd was credited with her seventh assist and sophomore Caroline Brown picked up her team-best eighth helper of the season on Harrison’s eventual match-winning tally.

UT freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel recorded her 13th career victory and seventh career solo shutout by registering five saves in posting the clean sheet.

Tennessee out-shot the Tigers by a 17-13 total, including 6-5 on shots on goal, and posted a 10-4 advantage on corner kicks.

The Big Orange wasted zero time securing the momentum against Auburn, scoring on its very first shot of the contest at the 2:33 mark. Dowd battled her marker near the left end line before crossing the ball towards the middle. Brown managed a quick flick out to Harrison on the right wing. The Winnipeg, Alberta, Canada, native settled the ball and blasted home the goal from approximately 12 yards for a quick 1-0 advantage.

It proved to be the senior Hatcher that granted the Big Orange some insurance at 54:55. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native gathered a ball, dribbled just inside the left edge of the 18 and unleashed a blast that beat Howard for a 2-0 lead.

The contest didn’t get overly concerning during the second half for the Lady Vols until the 83rd minute. That’s when Katy Frierson uncorked a shot that hit off the right post/crossbar connection while a rebound bounced back into the middle. A follow-up drive by midfielder Ana Cate traveled wide right as UT dodged a potential bullet.

With just three minutes left on the clock Eckel came up big once again, deflecting a Frierson shot just up and over the bar. One final shot off an AU corner by Cate traveled high as Tennessee secured its clean sheet.

ATHENS, Ga. - On Saturday afternoon, in the resumption of Friday night’s delayed regularseason finale, the #20 Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team (14-5-0, 7-4-0 Southeastern Conference) fought off any potential distraction, getting goals from sophomore forward Caroline Brown and senior forward Emily Dowd to roll past Georgia (12-5-2, 6-3-2 SEC), 2-0.

With its victory, Tennessee secured the thirdseed for the SEC Tournament in Orange Beach, Ala., and will open its stay in the league’s showcase event on Wed., Nov. 2, in a 3:30 p.m. ET contest against Kentucky.

Brown and Dowd each recorded their teamleading 11th goals of the campaign as the Big Orange continues to be the only squad in the conference with two players that each possess 10+ goals and 25+ points. On Dowd’s 64th minute goal, junior midfielder Kylie Bono and senior forward Chelsea Hatcher were credited with their sixth and fifth assists of the year, respectively.

By equaling her single-match career high with nine saves, freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel picked up her eighth solo shutout while helping the UT defense to its 10th overall blanking of 2011.

During the contest the Lady Vols out-shot the Bulldogs by a 14-12 total, even though UGA managed a 9-6 advantage in shots on frame. The Big Orange recorded a commanding 7-2 lead on corner kicks and continues to top the league in that category.

At the 20:26 mark of the opening frame on Friday night, two faulty banks of lights on the Lady Vol defensive end at the UGA Soccer Stadium forced a 45-minute delay as the two coaching staffs discussed the situation with the officials before deciding to postpone the contest until Saturday.

Some 16 hours later on Saturday, the scoreless dead-lock was finally broken by Tennessee off a bad clearance by the Bulldogs in the 50th minute.

The Big Orange crossed the ball from the right wing to the left side of the 18 that ended up in UGA’s possession. A clearance miscue resulted in a pass right to Brown as the UT forward pivoted quickly and fired from 12 yards, beating Ashley Baker for a 1-0 advantage.

The Big Orange lead grew to 2-0 at 63:04 with some impressive work off a corner kick. Hatcher delivered the cross from the right wing into a crowd inside the middle of the 18. Bono managed a header that popped up before landing at the feet of Dowd in some space on the left side. She turned quickly and blasted home her 11th score of the campaign from eight yards out.

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. - Behind a dominant second half performance on Wed., Nov. 2, at the Orange Beach Soccer Complex in Orange Beach, Ala., the #23 Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team (15-5) topped sixth-seeded Kentucky (13-7), 2-1, to advance on to Friday’s semifinal round against Auburn (6 p.m. ET).

Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher registered the match-winner at the 76:07 mark off a free kick from the right wing, marking the Cincinnati, Ohio, native’s fifth score of the campaign. Senior forward Emily Dowd was credited with her teamleading 12th goal to dead-lock the count, 1-1, at 12:09. Junior midfielder Kylie Bono picked up her seventh assist of 2011 with a tap on the ball prior to Hatcher’s winning drive on frame. UT rookie net minder Julie Eckel made four saves between the pipes in helping the Big Orange to its 15th triumph.

For the match Tennessee out-shot the Wildcats by a 16-13 count and by a commanding 10-2 over the final 45 minutes of play.

Kentucky’s offense had the best of the early going with the top chance over the opening five minutes coming off a long free kick from about 40 yards out on the right wing. The cross traveled to the left post where UK’s marked forward Arin Gilliland managed a sliding try at 4:48 that drifted just wide of frame.

The Wildcats managed to break in front at the 10:41 mark. In some space Kentucky forward Kelsey Hunyadi fired a drive from just outside the 18-yard box on the right wing that beat a diving Eckel inside the left post for a 1-0 lead.

The Blue & White’s advantage lasted all of 1:28 as Dowd re-paid the favor from 18 yards out on the other end. After dribbling briefly up the middle of the pitch, the Gainesville, Fla., native unleashed a low roller that beat Kayla Price at 12:09, nestling into the lower left corner to deadlock the count at 1-1.

After a couple of solid attempts by Lady Vol freshman Lexi Krause, including one that forced a stop by Price, Tennessee finally grabbed its first lead of the match at 76:07 off a free kick. Bono touched the ball briefly on a leap over move before Hatcher drove a shot through the UK wall and into the twine for a 2-1 advantage.

Down the stretch the Big Orange kept Kentucky from posting any real scoring opportunities. In fact, the only chances UK had occurred on a corner kick at 83:05, that resulted in zero shots, and an ambitious drive from 24 yards out on the right wing from forward Caitlin Landis with eight seconds left that traveled well high of frame.
