A Stunning Performance! Sophomore Kat Dotson did something on March 15 during a 16-2 (6 inn.) win over Tennessee State in Nashville, Tenn., that no Lady Vol and few in NCAA softball history had ever accomplished, by registering a staggering NINE RBIS IN A SINGLE GAME. The Savannah, Ga., native broke a 15-year old Big Orange record set on April 2, 1996, during a win over Wingate by former Lady Vol Carrie Swinford. That occurred the season before the Southeastern Conference even began sponsoring softball. DOTSON’S EFFORT TIED FOR THE SIXTH-BEST SINGLE-GAME RBI PERFORMANCE IN ALL OF NCAA DIVISION I SOFTBALL HISTORY. Dotson also recently had a stretch of FOUR CONSECUTIVE GAMES WITH A HR (March 5-11 -- Furman, Georgia Southern-twice and #23 Kentucky). tying her for SECOND IN NCAA DIVISION I SOFTBALL HISTORY FOR THE LONGEST SUCH STREAK. The Series With Iowa... There’s not a great deal of history between Tennessee and Iowa as the teams have met just twice, splitting the previous contests, 1-1. During Co-Head Coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly’s initial season at UT, the #16 Hawkeyes routed the unrated Lady Vols, 13-1 (5 inn.), on Feb. 24, 2002, at the Georgia State Round Robin in Atlanta, Ga. Tennessee re-paid that favor exactly four years later on Feb. 24, 2006, as a Monica Abbott-led and No. 2-ranked Big Orange crew blasted #25 Iowa, 11-2 (5 inn.) at the NFCA Lead-off Classic in Columbus, Ga. Former Lady Vol All-Americans Tonya Callahan (3-for-3, HR, two RBIs) and Lindsay Schutzler (2-for-4, two RBIs) led the UT offense in that contest. Certain Lady Vols Keep Hitting and Hitting and... As of March 16th, a pair of Lady Vols possess current hit streaks of six games or more. Sophomore Kat Dotson is currently on a NINE-GAME HITTING STREAK during which she’s hit .567 overall (17-of-30) with an amazing six HR’s and 28 RBIs and a slugging percentage at an astronomical 1.367. Senior Kelly Grieve is on a six-game skein during which she’s posted a .550 mark (11-of-20) with a HR and eight RBIs. Dotson and sophomore Raven Chavanne (nine-game streak from Feb. 22-March 5) currently boast the longest streaks of the season for
