Back to Yet Another Familiar Playing Site! This marks Tennessee’s sixth all-time trip to the prestigious Cathedral City Classic (formerly known as the Palm Springs Classic) in Cathedral City, Calif. UT visited the event previously in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2010, while also participating in the Cathedral City Kick-off (different tournament) in 2008. The Orange & White maintain a 17-5 all-time record at the Cathedral City Classic and are 22-5 overall at the Big League Dreams Sports Park (site of event) if you include the ‘08 C.C. Kick-off. Tennessee was 2-2 in the tournament last season, defeating Syracuse and #16 Ohio State but dropping one-run games to Pacific and #10 Stanford. We Prefer to Jump in Front Early... An interesting stat has come to the forefront in the early season as Tennessee is a perfect 9-0 WHEN SCORING DURING THE FIRST INNING OF A CONTEST. Unfortunately, thus far in 2011 if UT doesn’t tally a run in the opening frame, it is 0-2. Checking the Records Versus Opponents Tennessee enters this weekend’s Cathedral City Classic having previously battled just three of its scheduled five opponents, while facing two (UCSB, San Diego State) for the first time in program history. UT trails defending national champion UCLA in the all-time series, 6-3, having dropped an 11-1 (6 inn.) decision to the Bruins during the 2010 season opener. UT has played UCLA at this event twice before, posting a 6-2 triumph over the #12 Bruins back in 2007 and dropping a 3-0 decision to No. 1 UCLA back in 2004. The Lady Vols hold a 5-0 advantage over Loyola Marymount, having downed the Lions in Cathedral City back in 2007 and 2009. Tennessee is 3-0 all-time versus BYU with the last meeting a 4-0 (10 inn.) marathon triumph for the Big Orange on Feb. 7, 2009, at the BYU Red Desert Classic in St. George, Utah.
