TO NOTE... HITTING THE SEC TRAIL
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
This weekend, the Lady Vols begin a four-match Southeastern Conference road trip, beginning with a match against South Carolina on Friday. Tennessee has won five straight meetings over the Gamecocks, including six of the last seven, dating back to Nov. of 2007. Friday will also mark the conference home opener for South Carolina. The Orange and White will then travel to Gainesville for a nationally televised match on ESPNU against the Gators on Sunday at 5 p.m.
Last weekend, the Lady Vols opened their conference slate with a bang, sweeping both Georgia and Auburn at home. The victory over Georgia on Friday also gave UT head coach his 300th career win, all of which have come at the Tennessee. Sophomore Kelsey Robinson recorded 30 kills, 20 digs and three aces against the league foes, including notching her seventh double-double of the year against Auburn. She also blasted 20 kills against Georgia, which ranks second in UT history for the number of kills in a three-set match. Freshman Shealyn Kolosky provided the Lady Vols with a strong presence at the net both offensively and defensively. Kolosky recorded seven kills and hit .500 or higher in both matches this weekend in addition to a team-best four blocks versus Auburn.
A LOOK AT THE OPPONENTS South Carolina enters Friday’s match against UT with an identical overall record (9-2), but has only played one SEC opponent in Mississippi State. In that match, USC fell short, losing in five sets (16-25, 17-25, 25-23, 25-23, 8-15). Mary Wise’s Gators have long been a national power, as Florida has captured at least a share of 19 of the last 20 SEC titles. This season, Florida opened SEC play with a 3-0 sweep over MSU.

The Southeastern Conference recognized her performance at the Illinois State Farm Classic, naming her SEC Player of the Week on Sept. 5.
THE SEC (HISTORICALLY SPEAKING) Tennessee has won at least 15 SEC matches each of the last three seasons leading up to 2011, finishing with 15 in 2008 and 2010 and 16 in 2009. Patrick is 147-90 in his career in the SEC. In 12 of his 14 seasons, he led the Lady Vols to a .500 or better record against the conference.

PATRICK’S MILESTONE WINS
ROB PATRICK /// HEAD COACH Two-time National Coach of the Year Rob Patrick has developed a tradition of excellence since coming to Tennessee 15 years ago. Following his arrival at Rocky Top, Patrick has become one of the nation’s top coaches and helped the Lady Vols attain levels of success never before reached in Knoxville, as evidenced by NCAA Tournament berths in six of the last seven years, including a run to the Final Four in 2005. His nine-year stretch of winning seasons from 1998-2006 marks the longest-such run in program history, topping the previous high of seven, set from 1978-84. The Big Orange has won 20 or more matches in seven of the last nine campaigns. Prior
to Patrick’s arrival at UT in 1997, the Lady Vols last recorded a 20-win season in 1988. Patrick joined the UT program in July of 1997 after spending the previous three seasons as an assistant coach with national powerhouse Stanford. From 1994 to 1996, he helped lead the Cardinal to a combined 92-6 record and two NCAA championships, including title-game victories over UCLA and Hawaii in 1994 and 1996, respectively. During that stint, Stanford never lost a home match en route to participating in the 1995 NCAA Final Four and winning three consecutive Pac-10 titles.

ALAN EDWARDS /// ASSISTANT COACH RACHEL COOPER /// ASSISTANT COACH
UT COACHES WIN TOTAL (LEADERS)
In July, former Iona College head coach Alan Edwards joined the UT staff as the team’s new assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. “I am very excited about adding Alan to our coaching staff,” Patrick said. “He brings a wealth of volleyball experience, both as a head coach and assistant coach from a number of Division-I programs, and is someone who I feel will be able to assimilate himself into our team very quickly.” Edwards was most recently the head coach at Iona for the past five seasons, where he led the Gaels to a 75-79 overall record and four appearances in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships. During his time in New Rochelle, Edwards mentored one of the top defensive players in NCAA history in Allison Neiters. One of the top volleyball performers in Iona College and MAAC history, she shattered the Iona and conference career record for digs with 2,682, the fifth highest all-time total in the NCAA. Neiters was named the 2007 and 2008 MAAC Defensive Player of the Year and 2009 MAAC Libero of the Year, as well as the league’s Defensive Player of the Week 17 times during her career. She was also a three-time MAAC All-Academic Team and MAAC Honor Roll member, two-time CoSIDA Academic AllDistrict selection and earned Iona’s Academic Merit Award for holding a 3.50 or above grade point average.
After a standout career at Mississippi State as a player and coaching the past three seasons as an assistant at ETSU, Rachel Cooper joined the Tenneessee staff in May. Prior to her time as an assistant coach at ETSU, Cooper served as a graduate assistant with the Buccaneers, where she assisted in recruiting and coordinated team travel and community service. “The thing that most impresses me about Rachel is her work ethic,” Patrick said. “I’ve gotten to know her in recent years when she has come to work our camps and I am very excited that we have been able to add her to our coaching staff. She has experience in recruiting and understands the day-to-day responsibilities involved with running a high-level volleyball program. “Rachel was also an outstanding player in the SEC and knows exactly what it takes to be successful at the highest level in our conference. Her personality is very engaging and inviting, and I expect that our players will be able to easily relate to her.” A Roscoe, Ill., native, Cooper was a four-year letter winner and starting outside hitter for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. A two-year captain and team Most Valuable Player, Cooper was also the first Bulldog athlete ever named SEC Player of the Week. She finished her career third all-time in kills with 1,405.

Sophomore Kelsey Robinson has produced eight performances of at least 20 kills so far this season. In seven of those matches, she has also recorded a double-double. (The list of 20 kills & doubles doubles is in the box on the right.) No Lady Vol had as many 20-kill matches in all of 2010. All-American Nikki Fowler reached the mark four times last year to lead the team. Meanwhile, Robinson has already surpassed her double-double total from last season, when she had five matches with at least 10 kills and 10 digs. Perhaps not suprisingly, she is a national leader offensively. She leads the conference and ranks nintn in kills per set (4.91). She also ranks fifth in Division I in points per set (5.76).
50X Freshman Mary Pollmiller’s first year in Orange and White is off to a fantastic start. Because of injuries at the setter position, she has played all but a handful of points. She has five matches of at least 50 assists this season, the last one coming in the Lady Vols’ four-set win against Virginia Tech on the road.

- 9/19/10 KNOXVILLE: Playing in front of the fourthlargest crowd in school history, the 18th-ranked Tennessee volleyball team dropped an extremely hard fought and physical contest to No. 3 Florida, 26-28, 23-25, 25-19, 17-25, in front of 1,431 fans. Junior Kayla Jeter paced the Big Orange offense, finishing just four kills away from her career high with a season-best 19 putaways. Senior Nikki Fowler played a solid all-around contest as well, recording eight kills, a team-high 15 digs and five blocks. - 10/20/10 GAINESVILLE: The 21st-ranked University of Tennessee volleyball team dropped a three-set decision to No. 1 Florida, 20-25, 23-25, 20-25, in front of a national television audience on ESPNU. Despite out-hitting, out-digging and out-blocking the Gators, Tennessee dropped the opening frame, 25-20. The second set was extremely tightly contested with 13 tie scores and three lead changes, but a late Lady Vol rally was not quite enough as UT fell, 25-23. Despite grabbing an early lead and attempting a late-set comeback, Tennessee couldn’t get past the hard-hitting Gators who finished off the sweep with a 25-20 triumph in the third frame.

THE LADY VOLS’ HOME
THOMPSON-BOLING ARENA
GOOD TO BE HOME After spending 10 seasons in Stokely Athletics Center, the Lady Vol volleyball team is in its fourth year playing in Thompson-Boling Arena on the banks of the Tennessee River. Since beginning to play in the facility full-time in 2008, the Lady Vols are 41-7 in home matches, including a perfect 5-0 this season. Record at Thompson-Boling Since 2008 Year 2008 2009 2010 2011 All-Time
Record Pct. 11-3 .786 13-2 .867 12-2 .857 5-0 1.000 41-7 .854
SEASON ATTENDANCE FIGURES With an average home attendance of 983 in 2010, the Lady Vols demolished the previous school record of 772 set the year before. UT also finished with a program record for total home attendance with 13,761 fans. Through five matches this year, Tennessee is almost two-thirds of the way to match its 2008 total.

NEW COURT To the casual observer, the Lady Vols’ court looks very much the same as always with the checkerboard orange and white beyond each baseline, but the playing surface is brand new. The court was assembled for the first time in Thompson-Boling Arena last week and is slightly elevated off the ground, which makes for more spring on the court. The Lady Vols’ new practice court is also designed this way.
