Big Orange Slices... Bitten by the Injury Bug  The 2012 season hasn’t even started yet and the injury report is already a major factor in how the early part of Tennessee softball’s new campaign will develop. Lady Vol junior third baseman and two-time NFCA All-American (2010, 2011) Raven Chavanne suffered an avulsion fracture of her right thumb in January, necessitating surgery that will keep her out of action through at least the opening weekend’s Kajikawa Classic (Feb. 9-12). The potential is there for the Thousand Oaks, Calif., native to return for the trip to the Time Warner Invitational in Austin, Texas (Feb. 17-19), but that decision will be made early next week. Junior outfielder (2010 All-American and 2011 NFCA All-Southeast Region selection) Kat Dotson continues her recovery from off-season surgery on her right knee. While expected to be available for action in Tempe, the Savannah, Ga., product could be removed from the line-up if there are any issues from the previous injury. Loads of Recent Success vs. the Pac-12  The Lady Vols have enjoyed a great deal of success since the beginning of the 2005 season against the alwayspowerful Pacific-12 Conference. Tennessee is 17-11 IN ITS LAST 28 CONTESTS AGAINST EIGHT MEMBERS OF THE LEAGUE, going 5-5 vs. Arizona, 3-0 against Oregon State, 3-2 against UCLA, 2-0 vs. Oregon, 2-2 vs. Stanford, 1-1 against Washington, 1-0 vs. Arizona State and 0-1 against California. Current Lady Vol players are just 3-6 against the Pac-12, however, but own wins over #2 UCLA (2/26/11), #3 Arizona (WCWS-6/3/10) and Oregon State (2/21/09). When Facing #1  The Big Orange will face-off against the #1-ranked team in the nation this weekend at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz., when Tennessee battles defending national champion Arizona State. UT is 5-13 all-time against top-ranked squads with wins against #1 Alabama (two regular-season wins-2007; regular-season win in 2011), Michigan (win at WCWS-2005) and UCLA (win at WCWS-2006). In their last meeting versus #1, the Lady Vols split a doubleheader

UT has now won seven of its last eight season openers with the lone loss occurring on Feb. 12, 2010, to eventual national champion #8 UCLA at the NTC Division I Elite Invitational. The Lady Vols christen their 2012 campaign against UCSB on Feb. 9 at the prestigious Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz. 2012 Lady Vol Softball...A Brief Preview  This year’s edition of the Big Orange softball squad returns 15 letter-winners, including seven that started at least 31 games in 2011, and welcomes back all 49 pitching victories from the circle.

Notes... Strength of Schedule  Four of Tennessee’s 2012 opponents, Arizona State, Alabama, Florida and California, participated in last season’s Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla. Arizona State swept Florida in the best-of-three title series to win the 2011 national championship.  UT will face 16 squads that received bids into last year’s NCAA Field of 64 as well as six that advanced to NCAA Super Regional action.  Six Southeastern Conference schools were ranked in either the 2012 USA Today/NFCA or ESPN.com/USA Softball preseason polls. The Big Orange (#9/14) is joined by fellow league programs (ratings listed as NFCA/ USA Softball) Florida (#2/4), Alabama (#3/2), Georgia (#10/12), Kentucky (#13/18) and LSU (#22/tied for 20). The SEC Eastern Division boasted three of the preseason top 12 squads in all of NCAA Division I according to USA Softball and four of the top 14 in the NFCA listing. A Fixture in the Rankings!  The Lady Vols have a habit of finding themselves in the rankings according to the USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) poll. TENNESSEE HAS NOW BEEN RANKED IN EACH OF THE LAST 120 POLLS DATING BACK TO THE PRESEASON RELEASE OF THE 2004 SEASON. A big opening weekend in ‘04 boosted UT from unranked status into the Top 25 at No. 19 and the squad hasn’t left since. The highest ranking achieved by Tennessee during that span occurred in 2007 when UT spent 11 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the way to a national runner-up finish. Tennessee opens the 2012 campaign at #9 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll and at #14 in the USA Today/ NFCA rankings. Dominant in February Since the Weeklys Arrival  Since the Weeklys arrived in 2002 to take over the Tennessee program, the team has seen incredible success during the opening month of the season. IN FEBRUARY, THE BIG ORANGE BOAST A RECORD OF 143-26-1 SINCE STARTING 2002 AND ARE A STAGGERING 96-10 SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2005. Tennessee won 33 straight February contests during a streak that stretched from the opening of the 2006 campaign through part of 2008 until a 4-1 loss to USF on Feb. 17, 2008. The only February defeats since ‘05 are to No. 1 California (2005), Notre Dame (2005), USF (2008), No. 21 and eventual ‘09 national champ Washington (2009), No. 6 and eventual ‘10 national champ UCLA (2010), UCF (2010), Pacific (2010), No. 10 & 19 Stanford (2010 & 2011) and UNLV (2011). UT enters the 2012 campaign on a six-game winning streak in the month of February dating back to a 5-0 defeat to #19 Stanford (Feb. 20, 2011). Bring on the Extra Softball  Tennessee now owns an 11-2 mark over its last 13 extra-inning contests since the start of the ‘09 season. The lone defeats in extra frames over the last three years occurred on March 21, 2010, when UT dropped a hard-fought, 7-6 contest to #6 Georgia in eight innings, and on March 13, 2011, in Lexington, Ky., when the Big

The Best of the Best  With three inclusions on the Top 50 “Watch List” for the 11th-annual USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year award, the No. 9 Tennessee softball squad equaled Cal, Florida, Michigan and Texas for the most selections by a single program in the nation as Lady Vol junior third baseman Raven Chavanne (top 10 finalist last season), junior second baseman Lauren Gibson and sophomore pitcher Ellen Renfroe were each tabbed to the prestigious list. Tennessee softball can boast at least one player included on the organization’s preseason “Watch List” for nine consecutive seasons (2004-2012), including other former Lady Vol All-Americans such as Monica Abbott, Kristi Durant, Sarah Fekete, Lindsay Schutzler, Tonya Callahan and Tiffany Huff. This marked the sixth time in the last seven years (2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012) that the Lady Vols had at least two players chosen to the national watch list. UT had a program-high four individuals (Abbott, Durant, Fekete, Schutzler) included on the 2006 “Watch List” and three incorporated as part of the “Watch List” in 2007 (Abbott, Callahan, Schutzler), 2011 (Chavanne, Kelly Grieve, Ivy Renfroe) and now 2012. Abbott won the award following her historic 2007 season during which she went 50-5 with a 0.68 ERA and a single-season record 724 strikeouts.

Tennessee Among Preseason Faves in SEC & Eastern Division  The No. 9 Tennessee Lady Vol softball squad received five of 11 possible first-place votes for overall champion and was picked second behind Florida in the races for both the SEC’s regular season and Eastern Division titles according to the 2012 preseason poll of the league’s 11 softball coaching staffs. With 15 accumulated points the Big Orange trailed the defending Eastern Division champion Gators (14 points) by only a single tally in the divisional ranking, while coming up just a single vote behind UF as the preseason pick for regular-season champion. No. 13/18 Kentucky (32 points), No. 10/12 Georgia (35 points) and South Carolina (48 points) rounded out the five programs in the East. The SEC Eastern Division currently boasts three of the top 12 squads in all of NCAA Division I according to the preseason ESPN.com/USA Softball poll and four of the top 14 in the initial USA Today/NFCA listing. The two-time defending regular season champion Alabama Crimson Tide (10 points) was the unanimous choice by the coaches to secure the SEC Western Division crown. The gap between No. 3/2 UA and No. 22/20 LSU (19 points) was nine points while Auburn ranked third with 28 tallies. Mississippi State (40 points), Arkansas (46 points) and Ole Miss (54 points) completed the SEC West standings. Back in the Red, White & Blue!  Junior infielder Lauren Gibson recently helped the USA Softball Women’s Senior National Team to gold medals at both the World Cup of Softball VI (July 2011) and the XVI Pan American Games (Oct. 2011). In an announcement made on January 11, 2012, the Pasadena, Md., native found out she was included among the roster of 12 players to the 2012 USA Softball Women’s Senior National Team that will compete at the World Cup of Softball VII in Oklahoma City, Okla., the Canadian Open Fast Pitch International Championship in Surrey, B.C., Canada, and the ISF XIII Women’s World Championship in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. Junior third baseman/outfielder Raven Chavanne and sophomore pitcher Ellen Renfroe were also included among a group of 11 players that accepted invitations to try out for one of the five remaining spots on the 17-member Senior Women’s National Team or for the roster of the 2012 USA Softball Women’s Elite National Team at the USA Softball Selection Camp in June. The Women’s Elite National Team will compete at the 2012 World University Games in Colorado Springs, Colo. On her way to being chosen as USA Softball’s nominee for the U.S. Olympic Committee’s Female Athlete of the Month for October (2011), Gibson hit an impressive .529 overall (9-for-17) with eight runs scored, a double, three triples, a HR and eight RBIs while going 3-for-3 on stolen bases and slugging at a 1.118 clip during the Red, White & Blue’s gold medal run at the Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. The second baseman was 1-for-2 for Team USA during the title match-up against Canada, blasting a tone-setting, first-inning solo home run to go along with three runs scored and an RBI in the 11-1 (4 inn.) triumph.

Notes... Making a Memorable First Impression  If freshman pitcher Cheyanne Tarango gets a start in the circle, the Anaheim Hills, Calif., native will attempt to become the 11th Lady Vol pitcher to win in her starting debut. Former Lady Vols Christy Anch, Sarah Ayres, Leslie Poole, Buffy Walker, Megan Rhodes, Monica Abbott and Ashton Ward join Cat Hosfield and both Ivy and Ellen Renfroe as the only hurlers to claim their initial starts at Tennessee. At the Stetson Leadoff Classic in DeLand, Fla., on Feb. 12, 2001, then-freshman Ellen Renfroe became the 10th Lady Vol pitcher to win her starting debut while clad in the Orange & White by tossing a complete-game, three-hit shutout with six K’s versus Stetson. On Feb. 14th, 2010, her sister Ivy Renfroe became the first UT pitcher to down a ranked team in her initial start by beating #10 Oklahoma. Abbott tossed a no-hitter in her collegiate lidlifter in an 8-0 win over St. Mary’s to open the 2004 campaign. Here is how the Lady Vol pitchers have fared all-time in their starting debuts with bold representing victories: 2/23/96 Jackie Beavers (Fr.) 6.0 IP, 5H, 1R, 1K, 0 BB suffered 1-0 loss to Baylor (complete game) 2/24/96* Buffy Walker (Fr.) 5.2 IP, 6H, 4R, 2K, 2 BB earned 5-4 win over Baylor *first-ever UT triumph 2/24/96 Jennifer Ortiz (Jr.) 6.0 IP, 10H, 7R, 2K, 4 BB suffered 7-3 loss to UL-Lafayette (complete game) 2/15/97 Sarah Ayres (So.) 7.0 IP, 11H, 3R, 4K, 1 BB earned 6-3 win over Texas State (complete game) 2/4/00 Nicole Murray (Fr.) 6.1 IP, 3H, 4R, 2 K, 11 BB no decision in 5-4 win over South Florida 2/5/00 Leslie Poole (Fr.) 7.0 IP, 12H, 6R, 2 K, 0 BB earned 7-6 win over Northwestern (complete game) 2/6/00 Stephanie Humphrey (Fr.) 6.0 IP, 8H, 6R, 0K, 1 BB suffered 6-0 loss to UCLA (complete game) 2/2/01 Nicole Borg (Jr. ) 5.0 IP, 9H, 8R, 1K, 2 BB suffered 8-0 (5) loss to Arizona 2/9/01 Leigh Ann Ellis (Fr.) 6.1 IP, 4H, 3R, 3K, 2 BB suffered 4-3 loss to Texas State 2/1/02 Crystal Bobo (So.) 2.0 IP, 2H, 1R, 0K, 2 BB no decision in 4-3 win over South Florida 1/31/03 Stacey Jennings (Fr.) 5.2 IP, 4H, 1R, 1K, 3 BB suffered 3-1 loss to San Jose State 3/1/03 Christy Anch (Fr.) 5.1 IP, 4H, 1R, 3K, 1 BB earned 8-1 win over Florida A&M 2/5/04 Monica Abbott (Fr.) 6.0 IP, 0H, 0R, 13K, 1BB earned 8-0 win over St. Mary’s (NO-HITTER) 2/4/05 Megan Rhodes (Fr.) 4.1 IP, 2H, 1R, 7K, 2BB earned 6-1 win over DePaul 3/10/06 Danielle Pieroni (Fr.) 2.0 IP, 2H, 0R, 1K, 1BB no decision in 14-0 (5) win over Temple 2/8/08 Ashton Ward (Fr.) 3.0 IP, 1H, 0R, 3K, 1BB earned 8-0 (5) win over Utah State 2/5/09 Cat Hosfield (Fr.) 5.0 IP, 4H, 0R, 7K, 0BB earned 10-0 (5) win over Northern Colorado 2/14/10 Ivy Renfroe (Fr.) 4.0 IP, 4H, 0R, 5K, 1BB earned 4-2 win over #10 Oklahoma 2/12/11 Ellen Renfroe (Fr.) 5.0 IP, 3H, 0R, 6K, 0BB earned 11-0 (5) win over Stetson *UT program’s first-ever triumph BOLD indicates pitcher earned the victory
