¢ Tennessee brings its season-opening 10-match road trip to a close this weekend following three matches at the Coastal Carolina Tournament. ¢ The tournament also completes a stretch of seven matches in nine days for the Lady Vols. UT is 1-3 so far over that span and earned a 3-1 win over Evansville in its last match. ¢ Tennessee has never met Kennesaw State or Loyola Maryland, but is facing Coastal Carolina for the second straight season. The two programs made their initial meeting last season at the Tennessee Invitational. ¢ Last year’s victory over Coastal Carolina was a momunental one for Tennessee head coach Rob Patrick. The victory was the 350th in Patrick’s distinguished career, ¢ Five players on UT’s roster have 30+ kills through seven matches this season. Sophomore Jamie Lea leads the team with 61. ¢ Four freshman have also played 15+ sets so far in the early season. Two, Iesha Bryant and Kanisha Jimenez, have started every match. ¢ As a freshman, Bryant leads the Lady Vols in total blocks at 31. Her 1.35 blocks per game are good for third in the SEC and 22nd in the nation.

A LOOK AT THE TOURNAMENT FIELD ¢ Coming off a win at Evansville on Tuesday, Tennessee makes its first-ever trip to Conway, South Carolina, for the Coastal Carolina Tournament. ¢ Kennesaw State Series Record: First meeting Notes: The Owls come into the weekend having alternated wins and losses over its last six matches. Last weekend, KSU went 1-2 at the Kennesaw State Invitational last week, earning a win over UNC Asheville in between losses to Elon and No. 7 Purdue. ¢ Loyola Maryland Series Record: First meeting Notes: The Greyhounds are coming off a four-match homestand in which they went 1-3. Loyola opened the Greyhound Challenge with a 3-2 victory over Quinnipiac, but followed it up with three straight losses, including a 3-0 sweep at the hands of Howard on Tuesday night. ¢ Coastal Carolina Series Record: Tennessee leads 1-0 Last Meeting: Tennessee won 3-1 (25-15, 25-23, 19-25, 26-16) on Sept. 21, 2013 Notes: Winners of its last three, CCU is gearing up for its first home matches of the season at the Coastal Carolina Tournament.
