¢ Tennessee returns five starters from its 2013 squad -- a quintet comprised of senior Shealyn Kolosky, junior Lexi Dempsey, and sophomores Raina Hembry, Jamie Lea, and Ashley Mariani. ¢ Kolosky is the lone senior on the 2014 squad and is coming off a season in which she started all 32 matches. A middle blocker standing at 6-3, Kolosky was sidelined with an injury for much of her sophomore campaign. But the Wheaton, Ill., native stormed back to set a career-high in kills last season with 202. She also ranked among the team leaders in total blocks, turning in 65 with five solo. ¢ A transfer from the University of Portland, Dempsey burst on to the scene in her first season with Tennessee. The setter finished the year with 16 total double-doubles -- a figure that was the thirdbest in the SEC. Those double-doubles often came in bunches as she strung together streaks two or more double-dips on four separate occasions in 2013. Her best run came in early September when she recorded three in a row against Chattanooga, UNC-Asheville, and UT-Martin. In all, Dempsey saw starts in 31 of 32 matches for the Lady Vols, finishing the season with 976 total assists (8.64/set). She also fired in 19 service aces, the second-best mark on the team. ¢ One of three true freshmen thrust into a starting role in 2013, Hembry proved to be a defensive force at the net. The 6-3 middle blocker posted a team-high 72 total blocks during her opening act at UT. The Portland, Ore., native also finished the year with 147 kills (good for 1.67 per set) and swung at a .171 clip -- the second highest percentage on the team for players with more than 100 attacks. ¢ An outside hitter from Efland, N.C., Lea also wasted little time in making her mark in Knoxville. In her first collegiate action, the 6-2 outside hitter flirted with a triple-double after tallying 10 kills, eight digs, and five blocks. Lea would go on to lead the Lady Vols in kills per set with 2.99 after hammering 281 kills with an attack percentage of .143. Lea was voted a team captain before the season alongside senior Kolosky and junior Megan Hatcher. ¢ Mariani started all 32 matches of her freshman campaign -- the only Lady Vol freshman to do so. With 292 total kills, the 6-1 native of Arlington, Texas, paced the Lady Vols on the attack. She recorded 13 matches of double digit kills while also compiling 121 digs and 44 total blocks on the season.
OTHER RETURNERS ¢ Three more letterwinners also return for Tennessee in 2014, consisting of junior Megan Hatcher and sophomores Kayleigh Moody and Bridgette Villano. 2014 TENNESSEE VOLLEYBALL » UTSPORTS.COM » @LADYVOL_VBALL
¢ A Knoxville native, Hatcher has earned a captain’s role on the 2014 Lady Vols. The 5-5 defensive specialist saw action in 32 matches for UT last season after appearing in only six as a true freshman. Hatcher scooped up 162 digs in 100 sets of action. ¢ Moody, a walk-on, appeared in two sets for Tennessee last season. ¢ A native of Davie, Fla., Villano arrived on UT campus as one of PrepVolleyball.com’s top-250 recruits. She saw plenty of action during her true freshman season, logging 80 sets played over 29 matches. She finished the year with 162 digs and a .936 reception percentage. ¢ After sitting out last season due to NCAA transfer rules, Tennessee native Kalyn Helton will make her Orange & White debut this fall. Helton played at Lee University as a sophomore, helping guide the Flames to a 30-11 record and a 13-1 mark in conference play. She spent her freshman year at Harding University where she was named Conference Freshman of the Year.
WHO’S NEW? ¢ Besides Helton, seven other newcomers join the fold in 2014, including a class of six true freshmen. ¢ Freshman Claudia Coco joined Tennessee in the spring after a stellar prep career in which she racked up 2,754 digs to set the national dig record for a high school career. She was the 2013 Georgia Defensive Player of the Year and earned four All-American accolades. She was recognized as a PrepVolleyball. com High School All-American, Under Armour AllAmerican Honorable Mention, Max Preps High School All-American, and to the American Family Insurance All-USA Volleyball Team. ¢ Texas native Iesha Bryant is a 6-1 middle blocker that joins the Lady Vols following a 2013 District 203A Overall MVP award following her senior season at Carthage HS. Bryant closed out her senior campaign with 481 kills and 103 blocks. She was also a standout in both basketball and track & field. ¢ From California comes Kelsey Bawcombe, a libero turned outside hitter with a wealth of experience at the highest level of club competition. Twice she competed at the Junior Olympics with the 951 Elite Club Volleyball team, earning both a bronze medal and a fifth-place finish. As a senior at Temecula Valley HS, Bawcombe was named to the Southwestern League First Team. ¢ Kanisha Jimenez arrives in Knoxville with a wealth of international experience. The Bayamón, Puerto Rico, native has competed for her country’s junior and national teams, earning a bronze medal at the Norcerca Continental Championships in 2013. She represented Puerto Rico at the U-20 World Cup last summer and made her national team debut the following fall at the Grand Prix of the International Volleyball Federation. ¢ Kendra Turner joined the fold in early June following the completion of her high school career at Riverside Academy in Reserve, La. While there, Turner earned New Orleans Area All-District Volleyball Team and NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune All-New Orleans Area Volleyball Team honors under the direction of cousin and high school head coach Chelsey Nicholas. ¢ Rounding out the freshman class is Corona, Calif., native Sabrina Tavakoli. A four-year letterwinnner and two-time captain at Centennial HS, Tavakoli was named All-League during each of her high school seasons. including first team recognition after her junior and senior years. She spent the high school offseason training with the Mizuno Long Beach Volleyball Club. ¢ Taylor Johnson will also be making her Orange & White debut this season after starting off her collegiate career at Long Beach State. The California-born setter saw action in seven sets over four matches for the 49ers last season after completing a high school career that featured two first team All-League and All-Valley selections. Johnson also excelled on the beach, winning a gold medal at the 2011 AAU/USA Volleyball L.A. Open..
