News Editor “What do we want? Equality! When do we want it? Now!” This chant bellowed out of the mouths of approximately 10,000 Knoxvillians of every age on Sunday afternoon, filling the air in downtown Knoxville. Cities across the nation gathered in solidarity Saturday, Jan. 21 in remembrance of 2017’s march. Marches also took place across the country on Saturday, Jan. 20 in cities including Nashville, Chattanooga and New York City. “This is the first year anniversary of the Women’s March on Washington, so we’re calling this Women’s March 2.0.,” Kendy Altizer, treasurer of the Women’s March Coalition East Tennessee and former president of the UT Women’s March Coalition, said. “Everything was kind of new, and we weren’t really sure what was going to happen with this administration, and, well, now we know. So this year’s message is: We’re not going anywhere. Women are here;

we want equal rights; we want equality for everybody, not just for us, and that’s really, really important. We support everybody who has been disenfranchised in one way, shape or form.” Protesters gathered in Krutch Park to rally prior to the march with addresses from Mayor Madeline Rogero and city councilwomen Stephanie Welch, Lauren Rider, Gwen McKenzie and Seema Singh-Perez. Rogero acknowledged the work of the women on stage and proclaimed the importance of their place in the city council. “It is an honor to share a stage with such strong, courageous women,” Rogero said. A record number of men and women ran for open council seats in 2017 with 11 of the 30 being women. The council had one woman member before the elections, but four now hold city council seats, something that Rogero praised with “you did it!” Rogero also mentioned the #MeToo movement and explained how important it was to speak up. “Me Too will come to represent something new. Not what happened to us, but what we did about it,” Rogero said. “Me Too will come to mean: I got involved — me too.”

The crowd was then led in a “Me Too” chant by Rogero, which emphasized involvement and activism. Along with Rogero’s acknowledgment of local elections, Altizer said that the overall theme of the march was to inform others of the upcoming midterm elections and to encourage people to get involved in local and national elections. “This year’s message is power to the polls,” Altizer said. “We kind of know what to expect from the current administration, and we need to change that. And if you don’t like what you see, then change it. You be the change. So register to vote, get yourself to the poll, and vote for the people you believe in.” Kimberly Peterson, spokeswoman for the Women’s March Coalition of East Tennessee, also spoke at the rally and remarked on those who have started their own respective movements, such as Tarana Burke, who started the #MeToo campaign, Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and Teresa Shook, who is credited for starting the Women’s March on Washington last year. “Some of the strongest social justice movements have been started with one person simply

taking a stand,” Peterson said. Different local organizations were also at the event and each tabled for their individual cause. Groups included Knox Blue Dots, Planned Parenthood, Voices for Trans Youth, Postcards for Voters the Knox County Democratic Party, Democratic Socialists of America KnoxvilleArea Chapter, Sierra Club, League of Women Voters, and Knox County Democratic Club. Emily Chapin, member of the Knox County Democratic Party, participated in the 2017 Women’s March and said she wanted to further advocate for others’ rights. “This year I wanted to transition that energy into being here as a representative and talking about the work we’ve been doing and to help other people channel their positive energy from participating in this into local activism and local change,” Chapin said. “If last year is any indication, there is going to be even more women and people of color and LGBT people and other marginalized communities running for office and taking power back.” Kayla Trowbridge, UT senior in business analytics, said she was surprised but inspired by the number of participants.

Protesters gather in support of human life Kylie Hubbard

Asst. News Editor

Chris Salvemini Contributor

Over 600 people joined together to protest in the March for Life on Sunday, Jan. 21. Separate from the Women’s March 2.0 that occurred in Market Square earlier in the day, protesters gathered at World’s Fair Park in support for human life. Republican party members were in attendance including Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, state Senator Becky Duncan Massey, state representative Bill Dunn and U.S. congresswoman Diane Black. Gubernatorial candidates for the Republican party Randy Boyd, Bill Lee and Black each spoke. Black, congresswoman for the sixth district of Tennessee and gubernatorial candidate, said the event was in effort to push anti-abortion and share love for humans. “This is a celebration of life. This is a celebration of God’s gift to us, and that is life, life of the unborn,” Black said. “So we’re here out of love ... because God loves us first, then he gives us life in the form of a baby in the womb, and we’re here out of love for those who are struggling with that choice and be there to lift someone up that has made that choice and feels like they need some assistance. So this is a movement of love.” Black said advances in science from the Roe vs. Wade decision in 1973 have advanced the need for protection of unborn life. “We have advanced over 45 years; we now know this is a baby from conception,” Black said. “Not only can we see it by scientific tests but we can also see it in the womb by ultrasounds. I call it the window of the womb now. We can actually see that baby. What we hope to do is to change hearts and minds so that no baby will be lost.” Mary Butcher, participant in the March for Life, said most members of the march are Catholic, and they try to uphold their faith while protesting. “We invoke the bless of mother ... the mother of Jesus who really was the first one to carry a

WOMEN’S MARCH continued from Page 1 “I think it’s really powerful that so many people showed up,” Trowbridge said. “I didn’t think there would be so many people fighting for this cause in Knoxville, and I didn’t think there would be so many Democrats in Knoxville, actually, so I think it’s really great and powerful.” Renee Denny, Knoxville resident, said she participated to raise awareness in order to help create a better future for her daughter. “I want to make sure that our future generations, including my daughter, has the opportunity to do whatever she wants to do, as well as anybody who has a dream that wants to be

Imagine if that had been an abortion,” Butcher said. “What we’re doing is just saying we believe in this; we’re sticking up for this, and we just want to show people that we’re out there and especially we need to get more young people. So that young girls, once they march, will never want to do an abortion.” Kevin Bullock, who was visiting Knoxville for his granddaughter’s birthday from Nashville, said this was the first time he had marched but felt the cause was worth marching for. “Just from the signs — if you do a DNA study, this is a different human being. If you take a cancer cell or a tumor cell and do a DNA study on that, it has your DNA even if it’s a defective cell. An embryo, or a pre-born unborn child, that’s different DNA,” Bullock said. “So science is on our side; I think the truth is on our side, and we’re just working to change public perception.” Typically, each march begins in a church where protestors pray with one another. After the prayer, protesters march through downtown

and strategically passed the Planned Parenthood facility on Clinch Avenue. This year, the march moved from downtown to World’s Fair Park because of the Women’s March 2.0. “They will not crush us because in our spirits and in our hearts, we are pro-life. We’re moms. We’re dads. We are pro-life. All part of a pro-life movement because we’re alive,” Butcher said. “So tell these kids, try to tell them. Don’t listen to the garbage that’s out there. These are real babies, just like you were one time. You were that zygote. We got to stick up for those zygotes.” Black invited protesters with the Women’s March 2.0 to take note of the March for Life and know the event is focused on love. “Everyone has a right to their own thoughts, and they have a right to express those publicly. We would just like to invite them to hear more about how we think of life and to share that with them,” Black said. “Again, this is a movement of love.”

here in America and be able to be free, and at this point right now, we’re not seeing that,” Denny said. “It’s controlled by fat white men in Congress who have no idea what the public needs, and I’m pissed off about it. Renee Denny was joined by her daughter, Meredith Denny, UT junior in psychology, who said she was pleased to see community activism at this level. “In Knoxville, it’s awesome to see that the town that I grew up in that maybe I thought wasn’t as progressive is actually that progressive, and there’s that much of a support system for women’s rights, as well as immigrants’ rights, racial equality, everything like that,” Meredith Denny said. While the Women’s March 2.0 started and ended peacefully, about a dozen counter

protesters from white nationalist group, the Traditionalist Worker Party, were also in attendance. Matthew Heimbach, founder of the Traditionalist Worker Party, said that the party was there to provide an option other than Democrats and Republicans, since he believed neither parties have women’s interests in mind. “We want to be able to do is have a proposal of policies to be able to have strong families, to allow women to once again be mothers and wives where we can keep families together,” Heimbach said. Although the march and rally concluded at 4 p.m., co-founder of Black Lives Matter Canada Janaya Khan will be speaking at Cox Auditorium in connection with the Women’s March from 7-9 p.m.

New assistant vice chancellor for student life builds upon old tradition at UT Natalia Capella Staff Writer

Shea Kidd Houze is in the Big Orange House. Houze has been appointed as UT’s new assistant vice chancellor for student life and dean of students. “I live, breathe and work because of students’ energy levels on the campus,” Houze said. Houze earned her bachelor’s degree in speech communication from the University of Southern Mississippi, her master’s degree in college student affairs administration from the University of Georgia and her Ph.D. in educational psychology and research from the University of Memphis. Before joining UT, Houze worked at the University of Southern Mississippi, where she served as the director of new student and retention programs. She also held roles as associate director for external affairs for the Southern Miss Alumni Association, coordinator of the First Scholars Program and a career advisor at the University of Memphis. Having worked in higher education for 12 years across the Southeast, Houze decided to reflect on where she wanted to go next. “Keeping in mind the next steps … reflecting

on who I wanted to be … I just kept coming back to wanting to work with students,” Houze said. Using the opportunity to utilize her skills in an academic environment, Houze felt this job fit perfectly and was the leading opportunity to eventually having a greater role in higher education. “It was a natural next step … where you have the ability to work with amazing students coming from all over the Southeast,” Houze said. “You get to be at the forefront because we set the tone to the Journey to Top 25.” Some students remarked on the importance of staff visibility and relationship to students. “On its way to becoming a top 25 university… it is important that students and staff work together to achieve this goal,” Joelle Jarjoura, sophomore in business analytics, said. “New staff should continue challenging students to explore new fields and ideas, both in their majors and beyond.” Many students, like Jarjoura, hoped that new staff members would engage on campus by attending student events, utilizing social media and sharing work and life experiences. “Seeing staff walking on campus and eating in the dining halls and restaurants is a great way to make students feel connected with their administration,” Jarjoura said. Houze agreed and said that much of her

first year will be directed toward these types of engagement, and especially as UT approaches a student population of 30,000, Houze feels that being available to students is crucial. “My contribution is being visible, being present and being seen,” Houze said. “The first year is really about making myself known on campus.” Jarjoura further emphasized the roles that staff members have in creating positive conditions for students. “The most important part of UT staff’s job, regarding students, is creating an environment that positively impacts the student experience,” Jarjoura said. Houze is attempting to address student concerns through the exploration of options to reduce costs, the continued promotion of a safe campus and the foundations of successful futures. “I think there is a lot to learn, and first and foremost … stop, look and listen and engage our students,” Houze said. “What do they need to make sure they are growing?” Creating an environment that is inclusive of everyone and ensuring that UT is a shelter for students are primary goals for Houze. “For me it’s about the students, and the more I can learn and be on the ground, the more I can understand what their challenges and success are,” Houze said.

Courtesy of the Division of Student Life Houze further hopes to help UT’s pathway to success and help the university aid others through more than just academics and athletics. For Houze, it’s about the Volunteer spirit. “We are the Volunteers. What does ‘Go Vols’ mean?” Houze said. “Being able to live that out every day … I would say we have lots of school spirit, but the Volunteer mentality sticks out.” Houze felt UT encompassed her values and hoped to help continue UT’s legacy. “It is a very unique place where there are tons of traditions but also this desire to influence for the better,” Houze said.

Film in the age of Instagram: Corey Wolfenbarger Neely Moore

Arts & Culture Editor When he started college in Virginia, Corey Wolfenbarger never imagined he would one day be capturing his home in East Tennessee and around the world on film as work. “I started super late. I was the typical American high school jock guy. That didn’t work for me going into college because of grades causing me to sit out a lot,” Wolfenbarger said. “I went to school in Virginia, and there were a lot of kids who spent their time in the mountains there and they took a lot of photos with their phones. I tried to weasel my way into those groups of kids. “That’s when I got into photography, in college with my iPhone around the age of twenty.” The reason for Wolfenbarger’s particular interest in photography was that it was, at the time, the most accessible hobby. “For me, it was literally that I had a phone. It wasn’t super intimidating and I could just give it a try,” Wolfenbarger said. One day early on in Wolfenbarger’s photography journey, he snapped a photo of his friends on his phone while home in the smokies. Surprisingly, Urban Outfitters shared the photo on their Instagram to millions of followers. “It was the proudest picture I’d taken for me up to that point ... I didn’t have fancy tools or in a super crazy landscape place like the Pacific North West but I was still able to capture where we know and lived with something everyone has in their pocket at all times,” Wolfenbarger said. Due to growing interest in the photography world, Wolfenbarger transitioned over to film at the beginning of last year. “I go on three trips to Iceland, Africa and Israel every year,” Wolfenbarger said. “Last year, I was going back to Iceland and I have a good friend who shoots a lot of film and I was always interested in it. Going to Iceland, I decided to take a film camera that my friend let me borrow, and it was so different and exciting.” All those pictures weren’t his favorite, but he was hooked. Film’s been his main focus, ever since. For the past six months, he’s shared nothing on his Instagram but film. “There’s nothing better than going out and taking photos with your friends and not knowing if anything’s good and having to wait a week to see them,” Wolfenbarger said. “Social media can be dangerous for photographers, because you’re looking at your stuff all the time to get a post up. But, sometimes you just have to wait and it’s part of the experience.” Instagram has affected the way art is cultivated and artists are known but Wolfenbarger believes the app can be a positive force. “You hate to say it, but (Instagram’s) been huge,” Wolfenbarger said. “My life has been changed because of that app. I’ve gotten to travel

Corey Wolfenbarger’s exhibit is being displayed in Hodges Library on the second floor near Starbucks. Emily Gowder / The Daily Beacon crazy places and work with huge companies that I know I wouldn’t have without this App ... it’s the way it goes now. It plays a huge role, it can’t be stated enough.” Today, Wolfenbarger has gained almost 80,000 Instagram followers and has worked with companies including TOMS, Holiday Inn, Urban Outfitters. He’s gotten to travel the world, but it’s still about the community around photography for him and the Smoky mountains and the Blue Ridge mountains are still the root of his artistry. “It’s hard to say you don’t enjoy going other places because the experience is so fun,” Wolfenbarger said. “No matter what happens, I can see the best sunset and laugh the most and enjoy that time with my brother the same in the Smoky mountains as anywhere. But that can’t compared to grabbing a backpack, hopping on a plane, and flying across the Atlantic Ocean. There’s no feeling like flying somewhere in the world, knowing the only mission I have is to take photos and share them with people I love. “As far as personal value, I can never put a price tag on what the Smokies and the Blue Ridge mountains mean to me. As much as I love traveling to Iceland or the Middle East, I could never trade those memories for the experiences I’ve learned in the smokies.” The most liked and received photos are still the photos he posts of home, of East Tennessee rather than the ones from the farthest off place. “Corey uses his Knoxville home as a basecamp from which to explore and document the stunning landscape of the Great Smoky Mountains. With a unique perspective and a keen eye for photography he captures the essence of this mountain range in a compelling and atheistically pleasing way,” Blue Ridge Outdoors said last year. Wolfenbarger will give an artist lecture later this month on his work and mobile photography in the Lindsey Young Auditorium on Jan. 31 at 7 p.m.

Peak Physique previews sound with free show Alex Rolph

Contributor Peak Physique brought its unique sound to the International Friday night for a special free show that will soon be released as a live album by the band. As I arrived at the venue, it certainly looked to be a special night. The energy in the air was palpable. I’d never seen the International so packed that early in the show. The venue was vibrating with an eager energy, with the attendees seemingly begging for a beat to dance to. Opening bands Gamenight and Briston Marony granted their wish and set the tone for an exhilarating night. Singer-songwriter Briston Marony gave an excellent performance with a good mix of head bumping rock as well as some softer, sweeter moments. Marony’s voice was certainly the standout here, providing a very heartfelt tone to the lyrics. The band backing him up was consistently good too. I would definitely recommend seeing these guys if the opportunity arises. Gamenight quickly took to the stage after Marony to bust out some good old fashion indie-rock. With the band’s ripping guitar solos and talented drumming, the crowd began to shift, sway and dance to the music. This was the energy the crowd was looking for, making Gamenight another band I would recommend seeing if given the chance. The crowd was active and engaged during the two openers, especially compared to

crowds I’ve seen in the past. The energy only increased in the room as Peak Physique began to set up the stage. By this point, the venue had gotten even busier than before. Throughout the crowd I could hear people telling tales of how great the band has been live. This was my first time seeing them live, as I’d only heard their latest album release, which was a strange mix of electric pop with some rock influences. As I watched the band wire up the stage with all means of lights, computers and other strange space-age devices, I knew I was in for something I’d never experienced before. The crowd roared with cheers as the twoman band took its place on the stage. The incredible light set up began flashing and lit up the stage with an incredible ambiance unlike anything I’d ever seen at a show in such an intimate venue. The band was good at interacting with the crowd and assigned a certain section to keep the energy up. After not too long, the high energy beats and samples began, and the crowd started moving. The lights were especially impressive and were fun enough to watch on their own to make the visit worth it. However, after listening to two indie-rock bands open the show, the movement to this electronic pop was a little jarring. The intensity of the computer-generated beats and electric auto-tune was quite a jump from the raw vocals and rock instruments I’d been listening to for the last hour and a half. The band played many songs from their album titled “a couple”, performing such songs as “Living In Sin” and “IDGAF”. It

Peak Physique played a free show at the International on Jan. 19, 2018. Courtesy of Ben Smith seemed like most of the crowd recognized and really enjoyed them. Throughout the crowd I heard cries of joy, exclaiming how much they enjoyed the band. They certainly were a crowd favorite. I can see why, too, as the band provided an experience filled with pounding beats and lyrics to describe the tough, bad-boy attitude the group is going for. Careful, though: Some of the lyrics and rap verses can be a bit cheesy. In fact, many hip hop fans might find some

of the rapping eye-roll inducing if they can hear the lyrics over the intense beats and instrumentals. That being said, the group absolutely stole the hearts of the crowd. I’ve seen very few concert crowds with that much energy and passion for the music, especially at a free show. For fans of electronic pop, Peak Physique seems to be one of the best groups Knoxville has to offer.

Books to read on the anniversary of the women’s march Neeley Moore

Arts& Culture Editor One year ago today, five million people worldwide marched for women’s rights, originally inspired by the Women’s March on Washington. The women’s rights movement has a rich history that is still continuing on today, and one good way to learn more is to read a good book about the experiences of women of the past and present who have lived and fought for their beliefs.

The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf (1990)

Naomi Wolf’s book delves into the idea that as women’s presences have grown in social and public places, the beauty standards have only grown more demanding. The 20th and 21st centuries’ fashion, commercial and Hollywood industries have only grown the “beauty myth”

that women are taught to believe. “The Beauty Myth” was a relevant and timely book when it was written, and it still is today.

A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf (1928)

An extended essay by Virginia Woolf, “A Room of One’s Own” is debatably one of the most important pieces on women’s access and rights to education. Woolf’s core debate is that in order for women to write and be as successful as the famous male writers of the past, they need equal paychecks and a room of their own. Shakespeare could have had a sister, as Woolf suggests, who was equally talented but not given the same opportunities as he was. The essay, found in book formats, is a quick but significant read.

Wall Tappings,

Judith A. Scheffler (2002)

This book is a collection of women’s prison writings from 200 A.D. to present times. The book explores and elaborates on different women’s experiences in different times and cultures. Throughout these different settings and circumstances, “Wall Tappings” deals with the unheard and silenced voices of many women. The riveting story of inmates tells more than the story inside the cells, as the social world outside of the cells is what brought them there.

Hidden Figures,

Margot Lee Shetterly (2016)

Popularized by the recent 2016 film, “Hidden Figures” is the story of African American female mathematicians that worked at NASA during the times of the Space Race. Katherine Johnson is one of the breakthrough engineers whose flight trajectories contributed towards Project Mercury. The book also features the lives of Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, who worked for NASA. Despite the lack of

recognition and the strains on their personal lives, these women overcame discrimination and segregation in order to do their jobs.

Failure is Impossible,

Susan B. Anthony (1996) As one of the most important figures in first-wave feminism, Susan B. Anthony helped the women’s suffrage movement. She fought for women’s rights in many ways, such as starting anti-slavery petitions, organizing many women’s rights conventions and forming the National Suffrage Movement. Seen as a female leader in America in a time when that was rare, her life was spent fighting for women’s equality. “Failure is Impossible” is a collection of her letters, essays and other writings. It not only tells about the work she finished but it shows the caring and genuine person she was in her personal life.

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to see how ‘straights’ are formed.

Notebook: First half turnovers haunt No. 6 Lady Vols in loss Tyler Wombles

Sports Editor The improvements in the second half didn’t make up for the flaws of the first. After notching 28 turnovers in its 80-74 loss to Notre Dame, Tennessee’s head coach Holly Warlick expressed her discontent with the Lady Vols’ struggles in turning the ball over, hoping her squad would find a way to corral the issue. But in the first half of Tennessee’s 71-52 loss to No. 3 Mississippi State on Sunday, the Lady Vols found little success in improving in that area. They turned the ball over nine times in the first two quarters, including a span in which they had five turnovers in the final seven possessions of the half. By the time Tennessee retook the court for the second half, Mississippi State had carved a 39-36 advantage. The Lady Vols committed just four turnovers in the final two periods, but the damage had already been done, as they weren’t able to overcome the deficit from the first half. Tennessee finished with 13 total turnovers in the contest. “I’m not sure how many turnovers we had at the end of the game, but when you’re playing a top team, more than 12 turnovers is more beneficial to the other team,” senior forward Jaime Nared said. “They get out and run. They get out and score off of your turnovers. “So we talked about it a little bit at halftime. Obviously, we picked it up, but there was a lot of things that we weren’t doing in the first half that we kind of picked up in the third quarter. We just didn’t have a full game.” The loss puts the Lady Vols at 16-3 on the season. They now also have a 4-2 mark in SEC play. Struggles from beyond the arch: The Lady Vols were 0-of-5 on 3-point attempts in the game’s first half and were unable to find a rhythm from long distance in the second half as well. Tennessee finished the game 0-of-8 on 3-point shots. Junior guard Meme Jackson, who entered the contest with a team-leading 40 percent mark on 3-pointers, was 0-of-3 in that area against the Bulldogs. “We just weren’t making shots,” freshman guard Evina Westbrook said. “And we’re going to have games like that. But hopefully not that bad, where we didn’t make a single one. We just have to move on.” Meanwhile, the Lady Vols’ defense from beyond the arch was also lacking. The Bulldogs went 7-of-18 on 3-point attempts,

including a 4-of-8 mark by senior guard Blair Schaefer. “Mississippi State was outstanding today,” Warlick said. “They did exactly what we thought they would do. They shot 3’s and had some wide open 3’s. They penetrated and scored and (used) the opportunity for second chance points. We took a lot of ill-advised shots. “We just didn’t have it today. It was a tough day at the office.” Next up: The Lady Vols will stay at home to host Ole Miss at Thompson-Boling Arena on Thursday. The Rebels are 11-8 on the year, with a 1-5 conference record. The loss to Mississippi State concludes a tough stretch for the Lady Vols that saw the team notch a 1-3 record. That slate may prove to be beneficial to Tennessee, however, as it gave the squad a taste of the type of teams that it would face in the postseason. “As younger players, (we) got a really good look at what the SEC Tournament is going to look like just moving forward, just playing amazing teams, what we need to do to win games,” Westbrook said. “So we’ve just got to continue to keep getting

going to be easy. So we have to continue to get better.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Turner’s 25 helps Vols hold off late rally to defeat Gamecocks Cory Sanning

Copy Editor Having won two of their last three contests, the Tennessee men’s basketball team took to the road for a matchup with the South Carolina Gamecocks. LaMonte Turner tied a season-high with 25 points off the bench, Grant Williams logged 14, and Admiral Schofield scored 12 points and grabbed four rebounds as the 21st-ranked Volunteers defeated the Gamecocks 70-63. While those three players have had their share of big performances this season, the Vols got a much-needed performance from one of their big men off the bench. Freshman forward Derrick Walker had arguably his best performance of the season, notching 10 points and four rebounds in 25 minutes. After losing both games last season against the Gamecocks, the match was a much-needed win for the Vols. “It’s a big win, just remembering how we lost last year,” Turner said. “We knew that we were going to be in for a fight, but we competed and were able to finish it off.” Justin Minaya and Wesley Myers led South Carolina with 16 points each. From the opening tip, Tennessee was in clear control. By the end of the first half’s seventh minute, the Vols were up 16-7, spurred by strong starts from Williams, Schofield and Turner. Just six minutes later, UT held a 25-16

advantage following Turner’s second 3-pointer of the first half. The game was Turner’s third of the season in which he scored 20 or more as a reserve, two of those coming on the road. The Gamecocks responded with an 8-0 run to pull within 25-23 before both teams exchanged blows to end the half, with Tennessee heading into the intermission with a 33-30 lead. Turner ended the half with 14 points, providing necessary sparks on offense when the Vols found themselves complacent. “I’ve been really hard on Lamonte for three years now, and he keeps bouncing back,” head coach Rick Barnes said. “He did really good in terms of what we want to get done.” Postgame, Turner said that Barnes wanted him playing on the ball more this game and that he was more than willing to step into that role. “Just having the ball in my hands, I felt comfortable, and I was able to make plays,” Turner said. Tennessee opened the second half with another hot start, surging to an eight-point advantage at the midway point of the second half. That’s when South Carolina made its run, scoring 17 points over the final eight minutes and knotting the score up at 59-59 with just over 4:48 renaming. The Vols answered with a quick 5-0 spurt, a lead they would not relinquish. Turner’s jumper with 4:26 remaining broke

Adrien Terricabras, File / The Daily Beacon the tie, and his four free throws in the final half-minute proved to be the daggers. Following a strong opening half, Turner recorded 11 more points in the second, including six in the final five minutes. His ability to create his own shot and knock down free throws has become a useful asset for the Vols. As a team, Tennessee shot 57.5 percent from the field despite making just five 3-pointers, an aspect that has become one of the team’s biggest strengths.

Currently standing a game above .500 (4-3) in conference play, the Volunteers face a challenging road ahead as they look to improve their chances of getting an invite to the NCAA Tournament. For now, Barnes is focused on the job his team pulled off tonight and offered a rare compliment postgame. “We had really good execution down the stretch,” Barnes said. “We made some tough baskets ... but I really thought our guys showed poise at the end.”

MEN’S TENNIS

Vols showcase grit, notch win over Georgia Tech Charlie Tate

Contributor On Friday, the Tennessee men’s tennis team edged undefeated Georgia Tech 4-3, grabbing its fifth win of the season to improve to 5-0. The Vols showcased their chemistry early, clinching the doubles point with victories from Stodder/Valero (6-1) and Muamba/Rogers (6-0). Head coach Chris Woodruff was pleased with the results, as doubles is an area the Vols have continually worked to improve. “It’s vital,” Woodruff said. “As you could see tonight, if we don’t win the doubles point, we’re sitting out there 3-2,

and you’ve got Adam Walton probably playing the decider. I thought our guys did a good job of rising. You could really feel the intensity in the building.” In singles play, the Vols continued with tenacity. Freshman Nicaise Muamba set the tempo, controlling the No. 5 spot and clinching his second victory of the night (6-2, 6-4). Muamba has quickly settled into a vital role for this young Vols group, despite being in Knoxville for a mere two weeks. “The guys have been helping me a lot,” Muamba said. “Big shout out to them for helping me settle in. They’ve been showing me around, and they’ve been a really big help. “We’ve had pretty good preparation.

Everyone worked on something specific, and I think it worked out well for the whole team.” Freshman Adam Walton, a key player in Monday’s sweep of Tennessee Tech and Belmont, struggled early, losing the first set, 6-3. Walton clawed back to force a tiebreaker, winning the second set, 6-3, but came up short in the end. The surprise of the night came when Timo Stodder, a standout for the Vols and a top 40 player nationally, fell at the No. 1 spot to Georgia Tech’s Carlos Divar (6-4, 6-0). Preston Touliatos provided a muchneeded spark for the Vols, constantly encouraging his teammates and emphatically celebrating with the crowd after rallies. The Alabama native won his singles

match 6-4, 6-1. Luis Valero, the sole senior on the Vols’ roster, returned to the Vols for the first time since last spring. Valero won his match with ease, defeating Tech’s Chris Yun (6-3, 6-1). “It was great to be in a different atmosphere than last year,” Valero said. “We have a great group of guys. It felt good to be back and playing with the team. My returns have gotten a lot better. Patience was something I was missing a lot last year, and hopefully I can bring it back this year.” If the grit and intensity displayed by the Vols against Georgia Tech carries over into the rest of the 2018 season, Valero’s patience may not be continually tested.
