WELCOME TO 2013 FIRST SERVE

¢ This weekend marks the start of the 2013 season for the Lady Vols, who are coming off the program’s 21st 20-win season. The Orange & White posted a 22-8 overall mark, a 15-5 record in league play and made its 14th NCAA Tournament appearance last season. ¢ The Lady Vols are opening on the road for the first time since 2008. Tennessee has characteristically gotten off to a good start in season openers, with a 31-9 record all-time. ¢ Since 2001 - when the Big Orange really began playing matches in August - UT is 32-5 in the month, including a 17-1 mark at home. ¢ Rob Patrick, now entering his 17th season as head coach, has made nine NCAA appearances with the Lady Vols, including the current stretch of five straight. ¢ Tennessee welcomes nine newcomers to the 2013 squad, including five freshmen.

¢ Tennessee will take on Morehead State, Cincinnati and Butler in Cincinnati at the Cincinnati Invitational. UT is the only one of the four teams to make the NCAA Tournament in 2012. Take a look at how the Lady Vols have fared against their first three opponents in the past: ¢ Morehead State Series Record: Tied, 4-4-2 Last Meeting: Lady Vols won, 3-0 (15-5, 15-9, 15-8) on Sept. 15, 1994 Notes: The teams last meeting was nearly 20 years ago, and the opponents have not faced each other during the rally scoring era. UT has won the last four meetings. ¢ Cincinnati Series Record: UT leads, 5-3 Last Meeting: Tennessee won, 3-1 (25-12, 23-25, 25-19, 25-14) on Aug. 25, 2012, in the Comcast Lady Vol Classic Notes: The Lady Vols have won four of the last five meetings. ¢ Butler Series Record: UT leads, 2-0 Last Meeting: Tennessee won, 3-0 (15-12, 15-13, 15-7) Notes: Only the third meeting between the two programs. It’s been more than 20 years since the last time the two teams faced each other (Sept. 12, 1992).
