Big Orange Slices...

Bitten by the Injury Bug  The 2012 season has barely begun and the injury report has already been a major factor in the early part of Tennessee softball’s new campaign.

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 kept her out of action through the Kajikawa Classic (Feb. 9-12). Expected to return for a few at-bats during the Time Warner Invitational in Austin, Texas, over Feb. 17-19, weather issues limited her opportunities and kept her off the field. Chavanne is expected to be in the line-up this weekend at the NFCA Leadoff Classic in Clearwater, Fla. 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. She played in just two games at the Kajikawa Classic before being declared unavailable for the remainder of the weekend, but did get at-bats in the designated player spot at the Time Warner Invitational. The Savannah, Ga., product is considered day-to-day with her potential for playing depending on the current condition of her injury.

A Rugged Early Slate  Tennessee hasn’t been bashful about facing off against top competition thus far in 2012. The Big Orange have already faced off against SIX TEAMS THAT WERE PART OF THE 2011 NCAA TOURNAMENT FIELD OF 64, posting a 4-2 record in those match-ups. Included are victories over #1 and defending national champion Arizona State, San Diego State, Texas Tech and Western Mchigan with losses against #4/3 Cal and at #13 Texas.

Not Our First Visit to Tampa/Clearwater  Tennessee softball has long made Tampa/Clearwater, Fla., a stop on its early-season tournament slate. UT has visited the area to play on seven previous occasions (1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005 and 2006), with an overall record of 23-13-1. Under the guidance of 11th-year Co-Head Coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly, the Big Orange have made three trips to the area (2002, 2005, 2006), going an impressive 15-2-1. UT enters this weekend having won 13 consecutive contests at the Eddie C. Moore Complex in Clearwater, host of this weekend’s NFCA Leadoff Classic. In its last previous visit in 2006, Tennessee roared through the USF adidas Invitational, finishing an 8-0 run off with a 20-0 (5 inn.) rout of UMass in the title contest.

Notes...

2012 LADY VOL SOFTBALL HONORS

Watch Out for the Lady Vol “Big Inning”  The Lady Vols have long made the “Big Inning” a major part of its offensive repetoire. So far in 2012, Tennessee has plated at least three runs in an inning SEVEN TIMES. In fact, UT has posted at least one three-run outburst in a frame during five of its eight games played this season. To this point the largest single frame scoring total came in the fourth inning of UT’s 10-7 win over Illinois as the Big Orange put up five tallies.

Walk This Way!  The Tennessee Lady Vols are taking the art of drawing walks to a new level thus far in 2012, boasting 47 FREE PASSES OVER THE FIRST EIGHT GAMES OF THE SEASON FOR A 5.9 WALK-PER-GAME RATE. At this current pace, the Big Orange would draw a staggering 376 free passes this season, crushing the school record of 268 walks established by the 2008 squad. UT drew a season-best 13 free passes during the 9-6 win over Western Michigan on Feb. 12.

Georgia leads the SEC in walks with 48, but has posted that total with the help of one additional contest (5.3 per game). The 2011 Tennessee team boasted 40 walks to this point last season, marking the highest previous total through eight match-ups under the guidance of the Weeklys. Junior second baseman Lauren Gibson is currently tied for the league lead with 10 walks.

We Love the Spotlight  The Tennessee Lady Vols are SET TO BE FEATURED ON TELEVISION 11 TIMES during the 2012 campaign via ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SportSouth, CSS or The Longhorn Network (at Texas on Feb. 19).

Seven of Tennessee’s televised games will take place within the friendly confines of Lee Softball Stadium.

UT will make its league television debut on the road at Alabama on March 21 as CSS will disseminate both ends of the doubleheader against the Crimson Tide (5 p.m. ET). The Orange & White makes it TV home debut at Lee Stadium on April 4 with CSS slated to televise both games of the Lady Vols’ DH against Georgia (5 p.m. ET). For a pair of weekends in April, Tennessee might as well call ESPN/ESPNU home as UT will venture down on “the Plains” for an April 7 match-up at Auburn (2 p.m. ET/ESPNU) before returning home to host LSU on April 14 & 15 in a pair of contests to be distributed live via ESPN at noon and 4 p.m. ET, respectively. Finally, the Big Orange will host Ole Miss over April 27-29 with all three contests being shown via SportSouth.

For the third straight campaign, ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU will broadcast every match-up during the annual SEC Softball Tournament, slated to be held this year in Oxford, Miss.

SINCE HEADING OUT TO OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA., FOR ITS FIRST TRIP TO THE WOMEN’S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES IN 2005, THE TENNESSEE LADY VOL SOFTBALL TEAM HAS BEEN FEATURED ON TELEVISION A STAGGERING 78 TIMES. AN AMAZING 52 OF THOSE 78 HAVE BEEN ON THE ESPN FAMILY OF NETWORKS. Exceptional Ellen!  Tennessee sophomore pitcher Ellen Renfroe picked up this year right where she left off in 2011, roaring through the Kajikawa Classic with a 5-0 record, a 1.13 ERA, three solo shutouts and 48 strikeouts in 31 innings of work.

The Jackson, Tenn., native didn’t allow a run over her first 27 innings of the season, topped the 10+ strikeout mark on three different occasions and fired a shutout against #1 and defending national champion Arizona State on its home field. THE WIN OVER THE TOP-RANKED SUN DEVILS MARKED RENFROE’S FOURTH WIN OVER A #1 OR #2-RANKED TEAM IN HER BRIEF CAREER. Over the last two years the 6-0 right-hander has also downed the previous year’s national champion, defeating the 2010 champ UCLA (7-1) on Feb. 26, 2011, and now 2011 champ Arizona State on Feb. 11, 2012.

For her efforts, Renfroe was tabbed as the SEC Pitcher of the Week (Feb. 14) for the third time in her career and was chosen as a “Primetime Pacesetter of the Week” by CollegeSports360.com.

Notes...

The Bomb Squad!  A season after destroying the previous school single-season home run mark (52 HR’s) with 69 big flies, Tennessee looks ready to do it again early on in the 2012 campaign. The Lady Vols have already blasted 10 HR’S through their opening eight contests, guided by junior second baseman Lauren Gibson, who currently heads the league with four bombs. Sophomore left fielder Melissa Davin owns two HR’s after posting her first career two-HR effort during UT’s comeback, 9-6 win over Western Michigan, while sophomore shortstop Madison Shipman also possesses two HR’s.

The Comeback Kids!  Already down a pair of All-Americans in the line-up, the Big Orange demonstrated its ability to overcome adversity at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz., rallying twice from deficits to post victories.

Down 4-1 to San Diego State through four complete innings, Tennessee erupted for four tallies in the top of the fifth, with the big blow coming via the first collegiate HR, a two-run shot, by freshman first baseman Cheyanne Tarango. UT ended up holding off the Aztecs, 6-5, as junior Melissa Brown hammered a gamewinning, solo shot in the top of the sixth.

With just a few hours of sleep following a late night win over #1 Arizona State and a 6 a.m. wake-up call for a contest against Western Michigan, Tennessee couldn’t be faulted for having some issues with 2011 NCAA Regional team WMU. UT led 4-0 before the Broncos put a five-spot on the board in the top of the fifth inning.

UT managed a tally in the bottom of the fifth, before putting the game out of reach via a RBI single from sophomore shortstop Madison Shipman and the second three-run blast of the contest by Melissa Davin.

When Facing #1  The Big Orange improved its all-time record against #1 to 6-13 with a 3-0 shutout win over #1 and defending national champion Arizona State on Feb. 11, at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz. UT also owns victories over #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 previous versus #1, the Lady Vols split a doubleheader against topranked Alabama at Lee Softball Stadium on March 22, 2011 (5-9, 4-1).

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 always-powerful Pacific-12 Conference. Tennessee is 18-12 IN ITS LAST 30 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, 2-0 vs. Arizona State and 0-2 against California. Current Lady Vol players are just 4-7 against the Pac-12, however, but own wins over #1 Arizona State (2/11/11), #2 UCLA (2/26/11), #3 Arizona (WCWS-6/3/10) and Oregon State (2/21/09).

Opened the Season With a “W!”  Tennessee is 10-7 all-time in season openers and 8-3 under co-head coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly after topping UCSB, 7-0, on Feb. 9, 2012 at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz. UT has now won eight of its last nine season openers with the lone loss occurring on Feb. 12, 2010, to eventual national champion #8 UCLA at the NTC Division I Elite Invitational.

2012 Lady Vol Softball...A Brief Preview  This year’s edition of the Big Orange softball squad returned 15 letter-winners, including seven that started at least 31 games in 2011, and welcomed back all 49 pitching victories from the circle. UT bolstered that impressive depth with the addition of a high-profile class of four newcomers that was rated No. 2 in the nation for 2011 by ESPN RISE. In all, Tennessee returned 74% of the total hits, 78% of the runs, 67% of the doubles, 75% of the triples, 68%

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 122 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 opened the 2012 campaign at #9 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll and at #14 in the USA Today/ NFCA rankings and moved up to highs of #7 (USA Softball) and #10 (NFCA) on Feb. 14 after a 5-1 weekend at the Kajikawa Classic.

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 149-28-1 SINCE STARTING 2002 AND ARE A STAGGERING 102-12 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), UNLV (2011), #4/3 California (2012) and #13 Texas (2012).

Bring on the Extra Softball  Tennessee now owns an 11-3 mark over its last 14 extra-inning contests since the start of the ‘09 season.

The lone defeats in extra frames over the last four years occurred on March 21, 2010, when UT dropped a hardfought, 7-6 contest to #6 Georgia in eight innings, on March 13, 2011, in Lexington, Ky., when the Big Orange suffered a heart-breaking, 5-4 loss in 10 innings to #23 Kentucky and most recently on February 19, 2012, in a 3-2 (9 inn.) defeat at #13 Texas.

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.

Preseason All-SEC Accolades for Four Lady Vols!  Tennessee softball up an impressive four selections to the 13-member 2012 Preseason All-SEC Team as junior third baseman Raven Chavanne, junior second baseman Lauren Gibson, junior outfielder Kat Dotson and sophomore pitcher Ellen Renfroe were tabbed to the listing through a vote by the league’s softball coaching staffs.

By virtue of the four inclusions, the Big Orange boasted 31% of the overall members on the squad, tied with No. 3/2 Alabama for the most in the league. No. 2/4 Florida picked up a trio of nods, while No. 13/18 Kentucky and Auburn each received one selection.

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 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.

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 FOLLOW ON TWITTER @LADYVOL_SFTBALL /// WWW.UTLADYVOLS.COM
