Big Orange Slices... So Close to Entering the Rankings! The Tennessee Lady Vol soccer program finds itself sitting just outside of a pair of the latest Top 25 polls following its successful opening weekend with victories at Kansas and Oklahoma. In the most recent release of the SoccerTimes.com ranking, UT received 22 total points to sit 27th, while in the NSCAA/Continental Tire poll, the Big Orange received eight points to rate in a tie for 35th. Long a stalwart in the national rankings, Tennessee’s last listing in any Top 25 occurred back on Aug. 24, 2009, at #23 in the Top Drawer Soccer poll. Call Her “Caroline Clutch” Tennessee sophomore Caroline Brown wasted little time in demonstrating her offensive prowess to open her second season in the Orange & White. The Hershey, Pa., native tallied three goals, including posting the first two-goal match of her career (vs. Oklahoma), with two of those being clutch match-winners as the Lady Vols toppled Kansas (2-1, OT) and Oklahoma (3-1). The 5-9 forward now owns six career scores while amazingly, FOUR OF THOSE GOALS ARE OF THE MATCH-WINNING VARIETY. For her efforts during the road wins at KU and OU, Brown received nods as both the Southeastern Conference’s Offensive Player of the Week (8/22) and as one of CollegeSoccer360.com’s Primetime Performers of the Week. Early Success on the Road Has Often Been Elusive By defeating Kansas and Oklahoma on the road over Aug. 19 & 21, the occurrence marked the first time that Tennessee soccer emerged victorious from its first two pure road matches of the season since back during the 2001 season when UT toppled #13 BYU and James Madison in Provo, Utah, and Harrisonburg, Va., respectively. Perhaps every more stunning is the fact that the back-to-back victories at KU and OU were the first time in program history that Tennessee won its first two matches of the season away from Knoxville (including neutral site contests). The closest the Big Orange had come previously was a 1-0-1 record back in 2009 against #19 Minnesota (0-0, 2OT) and Wisconsin (1-0) in Minneapolis, Minn. Once again the rugged scheduling of UT Coach Angela Kelly has often played a role in an early-season defeat. Loads of Success for Tennessee in Home Openers The Big Orange maintains a 13-2 all-time record in home openers, having won its last two Knoxville lidlifters dating back to a 1-0 defeat to #13 West Virginia on Sept. 5, 2008, during the First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic. Under the guidance of Angela Kelly, UT is 9-2 in home openers with victories over foes including #6 Virginia (2006), #7 Penn State (2007), #15 Duke (2004) and #16 Wake Forest (2001). First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic History Tennessee will play host to the 12th Tennessee Lady Vol Classic this weekend (Aug. 26 & 28) at the Regal Soccer Stadium as #15/8 UCLA, #8/7 Florida and #18/NR Texas A&M venture to Knoxville. The Lady Vols will open their participation at the event on Friday at 8 p.m. ET versus the nationally-ranked Bruins before wrapping things up at 11:30 a.m. Sunday versus the #18 Aggies. Last year, the Big Orange posted an 1-1 record during its home-hosted event, dropping a 3-1 decision to #14 Maryland before bouncing back to post a come-from-behind, 2-1 win over Richmond. #14 Maryland won the tournament with a 2-0 record, UT finished second at 1-1 while both Richmond and Kennesaw State tied with 0-1-1 records.

Snow returns seven starters and 11 total letter-winners from a 2010 Bruins squad that finished 13-8-2 on the way to a fourth place finish in the Pac-10 and an NCAA Round of 16 berth. Among the top returnees for UCLA are senior F Sydney Leroux (13 G, 1 A in 2010), sophomore MF Jenna Richmond (5 G, 4 A) and redshirt senior GK Chante Sandiford (0.85 GAA, 63 saves, eight ShO).

2011 LADY VOL SOCCER HONORS
North Carolina Texas A&M TENNESSEE TENNESSEE West Virginia Kansas Maryland
\ Several Lady Vol soccer players have already received either preseason or in-season accolades in 2011.
Never Started 3-0 Did you know that despite all the success the Tennessee Lady Vol soccer program has had throughout the years, the squad has never started a season 3-0 (the obvious goal heading into this weekend’s action against #15/8 UCLA and #18 Texas A&M). The 1997, 2003 and 2007 teams all opened a perfect 2-0 before dropping their next matches. Of course the major reason a loss has often materialized during the early part of the year is the daunting non-conference schedule played by head coach Angela Kelly to prepare her team for the league and postseason slates. Among squads that UT has faced in that second or third match throughout the years (often on the road) are such foes as perennial national titlist North Carolina and nationally-rated squads such as Portland, Southern California, Washington, West Virginia, Penn State, Virginia and Maryland just to name a few. The scheduling system has often seemed to pay dividends down the road as UT has won three SEC regularseason crowns, four SEC Tournament titles and been to five NCAA Sweet 16’s.

Tennessee Season Openers UT is 11-5 all-time in season openers, playing on the road or at a neutral site on eight occasions (3-5). The Big Orange has won seven of its last nine lidlifters including its 2011 opener, a 2-1 (OT) victory over Kansas on Aug. 19 at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex in Lawrence, Kan. A “Senior CLASS” Act! Tennessee Lady Vol midfielder/forward Chelsea Hatcher has been chosen as one of 30 national nominees for the 2011 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Women’s Soccer Award®. The accolade is given each season to a player who excels both on and off the pitch and best exemplifies the true definition of a “student-athlete.” At the end of last season, Hatcher was honored with a spot on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Region Second Team and a place on the All-Southeastern Conference First Team after leading the Big Orange in goals (eight), points (20) and shots (105). The 5-7 midfielder/forward began the 2011 campaign with 11 career goals, six assists and 28 total points over 58 matches played during her three-year stint at Rocky Top. She had also moved into fifth all-time in UT history by launching 224 total shots (64 on frame). The Opening Prelude... The Big Orange opened the year with an exhibition match by traveling to Birmingham, Ala., on Fri., Aug.

MATCH 2: OKLAHOMA Sun., Aug. 21, 2011 - Norman, Okla. OU Soccer Complex (399) F 3 0
LAWRENCE, Kan. - A penalty drawn inside the 18-yard box by Lady Vol senior forward Emily Dowd at 97:16 was converted via a match-winning penalty kick by sophomore midfielder/forward Caroline Brown as Tennessee (1-0) fought back from an early one-score deficit to top Kansas, 2-1 (OT), on Fri., Aug. 19, in both teams’ 2011 season-opener at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex in Lawrence, Kan. Kansas managed to out-shoot the Big Orange by a razor-thin, 15-14 total and registered a 7-6 advantage in shots on frame, while each squad earned six corner kicks in the contest. UT freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel earned her first career victory between the pipes by making six saves, including a match-saving stop by racing off her line with 3:31 left in overtime to thwart a breakaway by Kansas forward Ingrid Vidal. Brown led the Lady Vol offense with four shots, including the penalty kick score. Dowd and senior forward Chelsea Hatcher each tallied a trio of shots, with the former launching all three of her drives successfully on frame. The Jayhawks broke the scoreless dead-lock 13:18 into the match-up as a through ball from Whitney Berry up the middle to Jamie Fletcher gave her a step on her marker. One-on-one against Eckel, Fletcher scored from 14 yards out into bottom left corner. In the 33rd minute of action, Tennessee crossed into the middle of the 18-yard box. Kansas midfielder Liana Salazar attempted to clear the ball but her sliding attempt ended up in the back of her own net to grant UT a match-tying own goal. The Big Orange came oh so close to getting the winner in regulation in the 86th minute as Dowd made a great move to beat a KU player in the midfield. She fed up the right wing to Hatcher who crossed a ball to the left post. Brown was making a run to a spot, but just couldn’t quite get there as her sliding tap at the left post just drifted wide. With approximately 1:31 remaining, UT again had a golden opportunity as Brown moved up the right side, got some space and fired a ball that appeared to be going into the net. A Lady Vol stationed at the left post tapped the shot in to make sure of the goal, but was ruled offside as the score was disallowed. After Eckel saved the day by racing off her line with 3:31 left in the initial overtime to thwart a breakaway by KU’s Vidal, Dowd was taken down on the other end of the pitch inside the 18 to earn a penalty call. Brown was summoned to seal the deal and did her job by burying the ball in the left side of the net past Jayhawk keeper Kat Liebetrau to complete the season-opening triumph.

NORMAN, Okla. - The first two-goal game of sophomore midfielder/forward Caroline Brown’s collegiate career helped guide the Tennessee Lady Vol soccer squad (2-0) to a commanding 3-1 victory over Oklahoma (1-1) at the OU Soccer Complex in Norman, Okla. Tennessee out-shot the Sooners by a 12-11 total and registered a 4-2 advantage in corner kicks. In addition to Brown’s impressive scores at 59:45 and 65:38, junior midfielder Kylie Bono added a goal via a penalty kick at the 22:25 mark. Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher and freshman forward Iyana Moore tallied their first assists of the season. Things got a little hairy for the Orange during the ninth minute as a lead pass found Oklahoma’s Zoe Dickson in the clear. Eckel held her ground in a one-on-one situation, however, diving to her right and utilized her legs to make an incredible stop. Tennessee’s initial goal-scoring sequence began with a long free kick taken from 40 yards out on the right wing by freshman defender Alison Clarke. Kylie Bono leapt and flicked a header from the middle of the 18 wide left of goal. Oklahoma keeper Kelsey Devonshire grabbed the ball and made a throw that ended up traveling right to UT senior forward Emily Dowd. She raced in quickly and made a move to beat the net minder as Devonshire tripped Dowd inside the box. The head referee ordered a penalty kick, and Bono stepped up and buried it in the left side of the twine to grant the Big Orange a 1-0 lead at 22:25. The Sooners equalized at 30:35 as a through ball between Lady Vol defenders found Sage Coralli with a step on her marker out even with the right post. She moved in one-on-one against Eckel and fired over the UT freshman’s out-stretched hands from about eight yards to dead-lock the count at 1-1. Tennessee moved back in front on the scoreboard at 59:45 via one of the toughest shots you’ll ever see succeed in the sport of soccer. Off a Big Orange throw-in, Hatcher lifted a ball that landed at Brown’s feet just inside the right boundary of the 18. From a very sharp angle off the side of frame, the Hershey, Pa., native lifted a shot over the keeper that traveled in at the top left corner and nestled in the netting just inside the left post. The Lady Vols managed an insurance goal at 65:36 to nab a commanding 3-1 advantage over the Sooners. Located about 25 yards out in the middle of the pitch, Moore lifted an ambitious, high-arcing shot towards frame that’s trajectory literally saw the ball come down inches from the crossbar. OU’s keeper Devonshire had no choice but to leap and try to parry it over the bar, but her attempt popped straight up in the air and landed about three yards out near the right post. Brown was waiting right there to tap in her second goal of the match and provide Moore with her first collegiate assist.
