Hanna Lustig News Editor Twenty-eight female UT students reported rape in 2012, according to the Knox County Health Department. Although UT provides a multitude of resources where students can report sexual assault, this web of outlets could create more confusion. “What I find is that our students are so bombarded with messages, that a lot of times, until they are in a crisis, or until they are in a situation where they really
need the information, they don’t realize that there is some information there,” said Jennifer Ritcher, the associate director of the Office of Equity and Diversity. At any point after the incident, students may file complaints involving sexual assault. Most often, Ritcher stated, they choose to report sexual assault to the Office of Equity and Diversity, Student Health Center, Safety, Environment and Education Center, UTPD, the Dean of Students Office, Judicial Affairs or the UT Medical Center. After a student has contacted any resource regarding sexual assault, several other resources on campus are then alerted of a potential situation. The victim is then directed to a meeting with Dean of Students Maxine Davis or the resource they are most comfort-

Very satisfying. I really loved it.” Robert Wolfensberger, a self-proclaimed “senior, senior citizen” who attends classes to keep him occupied, agreed with Foltz. “These are some of the nicest pancakes, or whatever you want to call them,” he said. “They may even taste better because they’re eaten with Chinese or Japanese chopsticks.” Leigh Ackerman, a graduate student in College Student Personnel, was one of the organizers for this event.

If reported to her office, it is Davis’ first priority to secure emotional and physical care for the victim. But gathering information about the circumstances of the assault and the perpetrator’s whereabouts is also crucial. “You want to make sure the victim is OK,” Davis said, “and, at the same time, you have to think about the community.” While most victims choose to speak with their RA, Ritcher “always encourages” an additional report to be filed with law enforcement.

Gaffin ‘speechless’ after tossing no-no in first career start Garrett Ahmad Contributor After the game, sophomore Rainey Gaffin could not keep a smile off of her face. Gaffin, who was converted to a pitcher this offseason, became the first Tennessee pitcher since Monica Abbott in 2004 to throw a no-hitter in her first career start. “I tried not to think about it until later in the game,” Gafffin said. “It was my first college no-hitter. I’m trying not to smile too hard.” The game was a second of a doubleheader of the Lady Vols’ softball home opener at Lee Stadium. No. 2 Tennessee (17-1) defeated the Raiders 9-0 in front of a crowd of 1,312 in the first game of the doubleheader, followed by an 8-0 win on Wednesday to mark UT’s third victory over
Wright State this season. “There is so much support behind everybody,” Gaffin said. “I will never ever forget just looking up in the stands and seeing it packed with people that, on a Wednesday night, are out here to support us. “Pitching in front of them, playing it front of them, it leaves you speechless.” In the first game, senior All-American pitcher Ellen Renfroe also shined with nine strikeouts, allowing only four hits and no runs in a six inning complete game, moving her record to 10-0 on the season. Sophomore Montana Wear had a night to forget in the circle for Wright State (1-10), as Tennessee sophomore Hannah Akamine hit her second and third home runs of the season off Wear.

ASSAULT continued from Page 1 If reported to a UT campus resource, including UTPD, a sexual assault incident is brought to the attention of university administration and the Office of Judicial Affairs, who will pursue justice to whatever extent the victim permits. The extent to which the university may act on behalf of the victim depends on his or her willingness to provide details, like the victim’s name or the name of the perpetrator. Davis said these details are often necessary to continue prosecution. The university, including UTPD, however, cannot prosecute the perpetrator. UTPD may only furnish “assistance” in prosecuting and access to resources in the community, like the hospital, the counseling center or the Sexual Assault Center of East Tennessee. “It could be handled simultaneously in the criminal system as well as the university system,” said Sergeant Cedric Roach of UTPD’s Community Relations Unit. “If it’s going to be prosecuted, of course, we hand it over to the district attorney’s office. “No matter if it gets prosecuted or not, the university will still be involved administratively, of course.” However, Davis explained that should the accused perpetrator claim the act was consensual, the act then becomes “alleged.” This, Davis reported, is a “typical” situation. After becoming an “allegation,” the victim must “go before a hearing” before the judicial conduct process can continue. Victims rarely agree to a hearing, Davis said. Most often, the victim simply releases the perpetrator’s name, desiring the perpetrator to be “talked with” and “put on notice and documentation.” Davis said victims often wish the situation would simply “go away.” A lack of rape shield laws in Tennessee leaves any student seeking justice through the law no way of remaining anonymous. If the victim chooses to press charges, his or her name could be released to the general public. Davis said this policy may deter some victims of sexual assault from coming forward. “I’m sure there are more female victims out there,” Davis said. “There are more male victims out there (too), they are just not reported.” During all investigations, though, the university takes measures to separate the victim and the accused. The greatest penalty the university can exercise is indefinite suspension. Eradicating sexual assault, Davis said, begins with ensuring that every assault is reported – a feat that will demand partnership between the university and the students. “The higher the number (of reported incidents), as far as I’m concerned,” Davis said, “means that we are doing our job.” Yet, Ritcher admits that the reporting process, as it currently operates, spreads a number of responsibilities across many entities and offices. “We want to have a one stop place where, if you were (online) looking, it would always come up first,” Ritcher said. “We are working on that now, as a matter of fact.”
More than 15 student groups in the Living Wage Coalition, including the Roosevelt Institute and Campus Disability Advocates, deliver a letter advocating the increase of wages for UT workers to Chancellor Jimmy Cheek’s office in Andy Holt Tower on Wednesday.
UT coalition pushes for higher employee wages Chris West Contributor $9.50 per hour, plus benefits. Starting June 30, this will be the base pay for UT employees campus-wide. However, some believe this is not enough. On Wednesday afternoon, more than 30 students staged an action led by the Living Wage Coalition. The coalition is composed of the Progressive Student Alliance and 16 other student organizations, working in cooperation with the United Campus Workers union. The campaign is working towards more fair wages and treatment for the faculty and staff of UT. Prior to the action, participants representing 10 of the organizations met in Circle Park to voice their concerns. “Everyone had their signs, looked over each others’ letters, and were all excited and pumped,” said Jasmine Taylor, a sophomore in political science.
When all had gathered, the students split into two groups and made their way into the office of Chancellor Jimmy Cheek. Some participants came into the building with a banner representing the LWC before others followed, presenting a letter of support from each organization to the receptionist. Cheek and his secretary were both absent. “I don’t think it’s very often for 30 students to come into the chancellor’s office at once, fill the room and deliver several letters,” said Robert Naylor, a junior in global studies and a leader of the LWC. “He’ll know that there’s student support behind us.” The Living Wage Coalition has been attempting to meet with Cheek regarding their concerns, namely a raise in the starting wage for a UT worker to $12.50 an hour, including benefits. Organizers wrote a letter asking the chancellor to meet with them regarding this issue, but their request was
denied; the UCW is not considered to be a “recognized organization” speaking on employees’ behalf. Cheek’s response to the letter, written on Feb. 14, cited several efforts by the university to foster better conditions for its employees. With the pairing of the newly raised starting wage and a “comprehensive benefits package,” Cheek stated in his response that he believes UT is providing compensation competitive to the Knoxville employment market in addition to the ongoing “insourcing” of custodial staff, which has created 100 new jobs. Tom Anderson, the president of United Campus Workers, feels as though the university could do more for its workers. “I commend the university in recognizing that Tennessee’s base minimum wage isn’t enough, and the raise is in the right direction,” Anderson said. “However, this rate is short of a pay where the workers
that ensure the health and safety of this campus can live comfortably on.” The UCW defines a “living wage” as the minimum income allowing workers to cover their family’s living expenses while leaving some excess each month for miscellaneous costs like transportation, the upbringing of their children and savings. The union has gauged this pay rate at $12.50, with benefits, based on national and Knoxville-area economic studies regarding the cost of living. “It’s life as a human without the need of working 80 hours a week and the worry of bankruptcy or homelessness,” Anderson said. Despite the organization’s failure to meet with Cheek, Naylor said he believes the LWC’s voice has been heard. “We feel as though this campaign has grown,” Naylor said, “and that we’ve started a conversation within the student body about the treatment of our workers.”

ARTS & CULTURE COOKING DEMO continued from Page 1 “We contact groups on campus to see if they would be interested in being a part of the World Showcase,” she said. “I was in charge of this one, so I contacted several Japanese staff and Japanese students to help plan the event.” Ackerman said the group met several times to gather ideas for the three-day event, which begins with a Coffeehouse before moving on to the Cooking Demonstration, and then to Culture Night. However, for all who missed out on the event, the I-House holds the World Showcase a couple of times per semester, with a different culture featured each time. Foltz encouraged students to come by the I-House for any event. “The people here are great, as well as the programs that UT sponsors at the I-House,” she said. “Especially ones like this where I can learn about other cultures and also pick up great cooking tips for the next time I go to the grocery store.” Wolfensberger also expressed the great cultural benefit the program offers. “I’ve been coming, off and on, to the I-House for 15 years, approximately, and I have seen some of the best entertainment, and some of the best food,” Wolfensberger said. “This is informative; it’s part of your greater education. “If you didn’t have this type of culture at your college, you would be missing a lot of things.” Events and programs at the I-House can be found at http:// ihouse.utk.edu/.

‘Non-Stop’ a winning yet formulaic role for Neeson Jonathan Garner Contributor Many movie lovers typically consider the months of January and February to have few good options. So when someone hears about the movie “Non-Stop,” they might just move on with their day considering the time of year. For Liam Neeson, however, these are his peak periods. “Taken” came out in February 2008, which saw Neeson put on more than just a good performance. Now, in 2014, Neeson now is starring in another February attention-grabber -- “Non-Stop.” In “Non-Stop,” Neeson stars as Bill Marks, an air marshall who is plagued by his past and hates flying. Marks finds himself on a direct flight from New York to London, where he receives texts from someone on board who threatens to kill someone every 20 minutes unless $150 million is transferred to a specific account, the account being of Marks himself. Marks is also in a position where everyone thinks he is the terrorist responsible for every-
thing going on. What happens in the rest of the movie requires some suspension of logic, especially in the last 10 minutes. But the logic is replaced by the thrill of finding out who is sending the texts to Marks before it is officially revealed, and how the killer is going about killing

people on an airplane full of people without anyone noticing. The acting is well done in this movie, especially by Neeson. Julianne Moore also does provided a strong contribution. The uniqueness of the movie, however, might be questioned. Do we really need another
movie on a plane? That’s up to the viewer to decide, but it is contended it depends on the plot of the movie. A con might have been that the movie actually seemed to be too short at 1 hour, 50 minutes. The very end could have been sequenced to go longer. In other words, it feels incredibly rushed, like a shotgun wedding. A final con with the movie involved one of the passengers, though the problem didn’t lie in the character himself. A political message was trying to be sent across to the audience through the character, for better or worse. It was unnecessary, whether one agrees or not, begging the question of why in the world it was in the movie in the first place. It should be noted the director of this movie is also the director who worked with Neeson in the movie “Unknown” that came out a couple of years ago and has some similar elements to “Non-Stop.” All in all, a big formula for Hollywood is to give Neeson a gun, let him go berserk, and consequently make some money. It works. If you enjoy Neeson punching the crap out of people, this is a must see movie for you.
Country singer trades ballads for pop tempo in ‘I’m A Fire’ Marina Waters Contributor Some say Nashville’s best kept secret is Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack or Mafiaoza’s, but the true hidden talent is country artist David Nail. Leaving his previous balladdriven album days in the past, Nail is keeping up with the pace of country music with his third studio album “I’m a Fire,” released Tuesday. In order to keep up with the changing genre, Nail has taken his rich, crooning vocals and added in a few more up-tempo melodies that seemed to rarely make the cut on his past albums “I’m About to Come Alive” (2009) and “The Sound of a Million Dreams” (2011). Though Nail’s seen success from No. 1 hits such as “Red Light” and “Let It Rain,” he somehow slipped through the cracks of country super-stardom over the years. His previous albums have been nothing short of deep, fresh and authentic records; however, they’ve seen little of the true recognition they deserve. Nail aims to swap his strong, slow, Southern ballads for fastpaced, hook-filled melodies with
“I’m A Fire.” This is perhaps in order to transcend past traditional country audiences to reach the more pop-country demographic which has hit the country music scene within the last few years. Songs such as “Whatever She’s Got,” which is Nail’s second No. 1 hit song and first song on the new album, combines his strong, Southern voice with a touch of a pop-country melody. Though the new single sounds a bit more like a Florida Georgia Line song than previous singles of Nail’s, such as “The Sound of a Million Dreams” or “Let It Rain,” this song is set apart from much of the album. Nail recently dubbed “Kiss You Tonight,” his newest single, which is his second from “I’m a Fire.” The single resonates a sort of sweet, loving desperation that pairs with Nail’s solid vocals to create a song similar to Lady Antebellum’s 2010 hit “Need You Now” and Gloriana’s 2011 No. 1 single “(Kissed You) Goodnight.” However, Nail gives his beloved soulful sound a pulse on the album with “Brand New Day,” a song about getting back to who the narrator once was before the heartache of the past, and “The Secret,” a somber tune about a man at his first love’s funeral.
“The Secret” is a heartwrenching song sure to make the listener stop whatever it is they’re doing during first listen with lyrics like, “Congregation spilling into the streets / Ain’t it funny how the preacher’s words / Disappear out here on the curb / Once the weight of an old friend’s body and your hands meet?” Throughout the album, Nail throws in a few curve balls with “When They’re Gone (Lyle County),” a summer love song with just a touch of nostalgia that features country band Little Big Town, and “Galveston,” which is an old Glen Campbell song rerecorded by Nail and featuring vocal guest Lee Ann Womack. Apart from the fast-paced numbers worthy of becoming
potential singles and the few soulful ballads presented on “I’m a Fire,” Nail managed to slide in his usual broody, dramatic and slightly angsty sound in “Counting Cars,” a tune about a guy listening for the sound of his loved one’s car coming back home, and “Broke My Heart,” which is a more up-tempo song about a girl he wishes would break his heart just so he can know her. Though true fans of Nail’s would likely rather hear more acoustic, piano-accompanied, vocally driven songs such as “Turning Home” or even his Adele cover turned EP song, “Someone Like You,” Nail is sure to attract more attention from listeners with this brighter, fasterpaced album.

College teaches us how to survive, not live Uncommon Sense by
Evan Ford Last week, I had a borderline panic attack. I think we all experience something like that from time to time, at different levels of severity. It feels like acute procrastination — you think so much about all the things you should be doing or should have done that you don’t have time to do anything. Eight hours later it’s 3 a.m.; you’re wide awake at your desk with a long list of unchecked tasks. I normally use my space as a columnist to reflect on political or social happenings, as that’s where I feel I’m doing the most good and being the least narcissistic. But let’s face it, there’s something self-centered about putting 700 words of your opinion on a page and honestly thinking anyone should read it. Maybe self-reflection is more honest. So, today I’ll talk about something entirely different: sanity. I’m beginning to learn a little more about it, and maybe my story will help you, too. I suppose it all started in high school, when I decided that somehow I’d keep my backup spot on the wrestling team after getting a leading role in “The Sound of Music.” Even though I was a terrible wrestler, I was afraid of passing the team in the hallway. They’d probably hate me if I quit, even if they were just jealous of my freedom and normal-sized meals. Then the burden of tasks escalated. Student government here, forensics there. The endless resumé building and extracurricular idolatry that has stolen far too many high schoolers’ golden years. I found myself with a stellar college application but no idea what I wanted to do, or what I was good at. I remember putting civil engineering on my Common Application as my major. An interviewer at UT asked me, “Why civil engineering?” I realized I hadn’t asked myself that question before; I guess I just thought it was smart — it’s a steady job and a good income. See, that’s what our high schools and colleges like UT teach us is “smart” — to go for a steady job and a good income. They treat the love of money, disguised under words like “comfort” and “stability” and “providing for a family,” like the only thing that matters. For me, the thing that matters most in my life is music. I play with a band called Cereus Bright (shameless plug: we have a show at The Square Room this Friday), and we’re starting to see some real success — playing shows throughout the Southeast, touring with The Dirty Guv’nahs. But when I miss class to play on the radio or travel to another city, I say that it’s for a “job opportunity.” I’ve been made fun of to my face for having bad priorities and not doing what’s smart. Music isn’t the only thing that is good in and of itself. A good story is good even when it makes you outraged or sad (think “12 Years a Slave” or “Death of a Salesman”). Good relationships, conversation and learning don’t have to make you money to still be good things. In fact, I’d say these things that are good in and of themselves are what make money a good thing — because money lets you have them. You need economic security to be safe and healthy, to have time to play music or support the ones you love. Let’s face it — almost all of us are going to spend the rest of our lives working a job. Our college education has (hopefully) taught us how to get that job and how to perform well at it. It’s taught us how to survive in the modern world. Our university is teaching us how to make a living without helping us learn how to live. They’re spitting us out just as directionless as when we came in, just with a degree and an anxiety disorder. I guess I don’t really have a cute way to wrap up this column. I just want to offer a reminder that the good things in life are often far simpler and easier to find than our education can make us believe. You don’t need a stellar resume to get good friends, and you don’t need a degree to love a good story or song. Often when we’re feeling uptight or depressed or lost, I think it’s because we’ve forgotten the difference between living and surviving, and forgotten the good things.

Inclusivity issues masked by society’s love for ‘The Bachelor’ Knight Errant by
Victoria Knight It’s the thing we all hate to love – reality TV. Once again it’s that time of year where the final rose is handed out, and the constant competition is reduced to only one woman in the finale of “The Bachelor.” At 10 p.m. next Tuesday, my friends and I will gather around with our wine and chocolate and cackle at Nikki and Clare (two bad apples in my opinion), watching to find out who Juan Pablo has chosen to “spend the rest of his life with.” According to The New York Times, viewership of last season’s “Bachelor” increased by 7 percent in the 18-49 year old range. Everyone, it seems, has been sucked in. Perhaps we were attracted by Juan Pablo’s Venezuelan accent, soccer athleticism, and the sweet Skyping of his daughter during downtime on “The Bachelorette” when it aired this past summer. I know I was. But the show is not all it promises. In the

first Hispanic participant and the only minority to ever be the featuring bachelor. “The Bachelorette” has been running since 2003 and there have been no minorities featured as the title character. Though this issue has been brought up multiple times in recent years, even with a failed lawsuit, producers have not done much to change it. What does such sparse minority representation signify? Does society only find the love stories of white people entertaining? That’s not even to mention the same-sex possibilities. Unrealistic as it may be to expect it of Disney’s ABC, a show with a homosexual man or woman would also be a step toward inclusivity. In the end, maybe it is just a silly TV show and something we watch to make our Monday nights just a little bit more entertaining. Maybe it’s America’s weekly dose of schadenfreude. But the next time you sit down to watch a rose ceremony, think about what watching this may be promoting. At least that’s what I plan to do – but only after I find out what happens next week.

Imperative for Obama to man up on foreign policy talk Dean’s List by
Katie Dean I know something is different when I find myself nodding along in agreement while listening to Fox News quote South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham. On Sunday, the Republican called out President Barack Obama for being “weak and indecisive” and suggested he “stop going on television and trying to threaten thugs and dictators.” Graham went on to point out this is not Obama’s “strong suit” and even went so far as to suggest that when the president does threaten volatile foreign leaders on television, all it evokes is widespread “eye-rolling.” While I probably would have said it a little more politely, I can’t help but recognize the truth in what Graham is saying. The issue Graham was addressing is the quickly escalating situation on the Crimean peninsula, where Russian forces have been mobilizing and appear – depending on what you read – to be preparing for military action. The upheaval in Ukraine started in November 2013, when the county’s nowousted president, Viktor Yanukovych, turned around from pursuing a broad partnership with the EU. Protests to remove Yanukovych

26 combined seasons of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette,” 75 percent of “winning” couples have gotten engaged. But out of all the seasons of both shows, only three couples actually married – only four couples are still together. So why watch? Maybe we commiserate with the contestants. Despite the fact that we are smart, attractive, hard-working college students, we know the fear of being alone. Many of us are happy in our singledom, but only if we can assume it is only temporary and will end when we are older and more established. These men and women, however, do have their lives together (for the most part) – and yet they are still alone. That’s kind of scary, because it means it can happen to us too. A show that promises magic, fairytale love – even if it’s a sham – is somehow reassuring. But it’s a twisted version of love when the guy you’re dating is simultaneously dating five other women, dates are only confined to exotic locales and alone-time without cameras can only be procured if you make it to the top three and score a night in the fantasy suite. I digress – there’s an even darker side than the ludicrous set-up of “The Bachelor.” First, look at the diversity of the show. This season’s bachelor, Juan Pablo, is the
turned increasingly violent in the run-up to his ouster, and tensions became even more inflamed when at least 88 people were killed by soldiers while protesting in Kiev. Russian President Vladimir Putin has wasted no time in taking advantage of the precarious situation, and many Western leaders have expressed concerns he will attempt to expand control from the Crimean peninsula into the rest of Ukraine. Losing Eastern Ukraine – where much of the country’s industrial enterprise is located – to Putin would be detrimental to its overall economy and would certainly prevent the country from creating a new, corruption-free government. Unfortunately, the strategy laid out by the Obama administration to address this issue has been as lackluster as his response to the ongoing Syrian Civil War. Sen. Graham has hit the nail on the head: when it comes to foreign policy, Obama fails to put his money where his mouth is, and Putin knows it. While I was never pro-Syrian intervention, I knew Obama’s limp reaction was going to come back to bite us in the future. By drawing “red lines” in his foreign policy only to later default on them, he has sent Putin the message that the U.S. will merely stand by and wag a finger when bullies like him and Bashar al-Assad run around wrecking not only their own countries, but their neighbors’ as well. Suspending preparation for the next G-8 summit – which was supposed to be held in Russia – is simply not
enough. If not having the party at his house means he gets to take control of Ukraine, Putin will most certainly take that deal. While I’m not advocating that we should immediately deploy troops to Ukraine and engage in full-on conflict with Russia, I am concerned Obama’s track record of weak foreign policy is bolstering Putin’s ego and possibly emboldening other erratic world leaders. Also disconcerting to me in this vein is the recent wave of ambassador appointees who happen to be big Obama donors but have absolutely zero experience with their selected countries, much less foreign policy. If you are in need of a good laugh, Google a certain Colleen Bell – a soap opera producer who raised more than $800,000 for Obama – and watch her attempt to field questions about American interests in Hungary. It is essential that Obama recognizes the importance of good, consistent foreign policy and strong representatives in other countries. Whether we like it or not, we often set the tone for the rest of the world when it comes to conflicts such as the one facing Ukraine. If we continue to sit around wringing our hands and having repetitive press conferences, leaders like Putin will continue to trample on democracy without fear of consequences.

Sophomore pitcher Rainey Gaffin whips a pitch toward home plate in the Lady Vols’ 8-0 victory over the Wright State Raiders in Sheri Parker Lee Stadium on Wednesday night. Gaffin’s no-hitter was the 45th in Tennessee history.
SOFTBALL continued from Page 1 “There is a statistic saying your next hit is going to be your big hit,� Akamine said. “I’ve been kind of in a slump right now, so I figured it was coming soon. So it was nice coming up to bat and just relaxing. “I was confident that it was going to come soon.� The Lady Vols wasted no time to assert their dominance. Senior Melissa Davin opened the score in the first inning with an RBI double to allow freshman Annie Aldrete to score from third. Tennessee widened the gap in the third inning with runs from Davin, senior Madison Shipman and Gaffin – who started in center field in the first game of the doubleheader. Akamine blasted a solo home run off the scoreboard in left field in the fourth inning to increase their advantage to five runs. After a scoreless fifth inning,
the Lady Vols went for the kill in the sixth. Tennessee freshmen Hannah McDonald made her debut as a pinch runner to score off of Akamine’s second long ball of the night, making the score 7-0. After a walk from sophomore Haley Tobler, star freshman Megan Geer hit a two run shot to end the game on the run rule. “I think (Geer) is one of the very best freshmen we’ve ever had here, and that says a lot,â€? cohead coach Ralph Weekly said. â€œâ€Ś It shows game after game. She led our team in home runs in the fall, so she’s a very good player.â€? After a 30 minute lay off between games and the cold weather setting in, Wright State senior pitcher Krystian DeWitt held the Lady Vols for three innings until the floodgates were opened in the fourth. Following RBIs from Akamine and junior Cheyanne Tarango, freshman Taylor Koenig slammed a three-run homer into the right field parking lot to make it 5-0. But Tennessee wasn’t done
there. Geer hit an RBI single up the middle to give the Lady Vols a 6-0 lead, and Tennessee closed out the game again in the sixth with runs from Geer and senior Madison Shipman to end the game 8-0 on the run rule. In the circle, Gaffin had six strikeouts in six innings and was one walk away from a perfect game. Although Gaffin was not initially expected to be a contender for the second spot in the rotation behind Renfroe, she admitted she hopes this performance puts her in contention to get some starts. “I don’t want to say anything because we have an awesome pitching staff,� Gaffin said. “If I do (get more starts), awesome. If I don’t, I’ll be a relief pitcher all day.� The Lady Vols will play take the field next on Friday in a doubleheader against Holy Cross and Campbell to open the Tennessee Tournament. First pitch in those contests is set for 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Tennessee destroys Auburn, 82-54, for 3rd straight win Associated Press AUBURN, Ala. — Jarnell Stokes wasn’t touting Tennessee’s five double-figure scorers or his own big game after the streaking Volunteers’ latest win. Stokes had 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists and the Vols used a stifling defensive effort to rout Auburn 82-54 on Wednesday night. “It was all on defense,� Stokes said. “We basically drew a line and just told them to cross it. I feel like it was a great defensive effort from top to bottom as far as guards anticipating and playing against two guys that are some of the top scorers in the SEC (KT Harrell and Chris Denson).� The Volunteers (19-11, 10-7) were up 24 points at halftime and never gave the Tigers (13-15, 5-12) a glimmer of hope after the opening minutes. Stokes was 8-of-10 shooting for Tennessee, which won its third straight and is trying to strengthen its NCAA tournament hopes. Antonio Barton made four 3-pointers and scored 14 points while Jordan McCrae and Jeronne Maymon had 13 apiece. Josh Richardson scored 10. Maymon also had eight rebounds for the Vols, who outrebounded the Tigers 43-25. Tennessee is making a late surge to spruce up the team’s NCAA resume after rebounding from a 1-3 stretch. “We do this every year,� Maymon said. “We get tough wins down the stretch, hope it just pays off this year. It’s coming at the right time. We’ve got to take care of one more home game and get ready for the SEC tournament.� Freshman Tahj ShamsidDeen had 17 points and made five 3-pointers for Auburn, which has dropped six of its last eight games. That matched his

career high, but the team scored its season-low in points. KT Harrell scored 15 and Asauhn Dixon-Tatum added 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting. Chris Denson, the SEC’s No. 2 scorer, finished with a season-low three points in his final game at Auburn Arena. Now, the Vols close the regular season Saturday against Missouri, another NCAA tournament bubble team. “This is the team I envisioned defensively,� Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin said. “I think it really helps when Antonio is making shots. I think Antonio is doing a great job running the team at the point. I have always been a guy as a player and as a coach that believes it’s never too late to get better. “We always take pride down the stretch of the season to continue to improve in skill on both ends of the floor. It’s hard, but if you embrace it, good things can happen.�
The Vols raced to a 44-20 halftime lead while holding Auburn to only two field goals in the first 13-plus minutes. They hit 28 of 58 baskets (48.3 percent). “We knew we needed to come in right away and take their heart out,� Maymon said. “We didn’t want them to get a big Senior Night win and ride on emotions.� Defensively, Tennessee never let Denson & Co. get untracked. Auburn made 20 of 53 shots (37.7 percent). Denson was held to six in the previous game, a double-digit loss to rival Alabama but still came in averaging 19.9 points. He’s 3 of 25 in his last two games after entering the stretch run with a chance to become the first Auburn player to lead the SEC in scoring in 20 years. “I think he is pressing,� Barbee said. “I think he is thinking about the whole leading the SEC in scoring deal and it is hard to play under that pressure.�

‘Christmas is coming’ for UT after Vols sweep La Salle, 10-2 Dargan Southard Assistant Sports Editor Searching for the perfect analogy to describe his team’s current mentality, Dave Serrano ventured back a few months. “It’s like Christmas is coming up,” UT’s third-year head coach said, “and everything before that’s a blur … that’s kind of what we’re going through right now.” The festive December holiday? The Vols’ weekend road trip to perennial college baseball powerhouse Arizona State. And the blur? Wednesday night’s midweek series finale against one-win La Salle. But despite being out-hit by the Explorers and struggling to
maintain offensive consistency, the No. 19 Vols took advantage of nine La Salle walks and four Explorer errors en route to a 10-2 victory Wednesday evening at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. “I addressed it before the game,” Serrano said. “‘Let’s bring our energy level (up). (Although there’s) all the anxiety and energy going into Arizona State, that’s first things first. “Fortunately we were able to take advantage of some miscues — some walks — and put up a lot of runs early to kind of expand it a little bit.” A five-run fifth blew the contest open as the Vols sent 10 men to the plate and banged out five hits in the inning. Nick Senzel delivered the crippling blow with a three-run double that upped the
UT lead to 7-0. Following two walks, an RBI single and a catcher’s interference, the Knoxville native ripped a 1-0 pitch to the cavernous left-center field gap. The double raised his average to .406 and RBI total to 12 — both good for second on the team. “First pitch I saw was a slider in the dirt,” Senzel said. “The second pitch was a fastball up and in so I just tried to get a good piece on that.” Like his head coach, though, the freshman designated hitter agreed the team’s focus was a bit distracted the past two days. “Our energy level hasn’t been the best the past couple of games,” Senzel said. “(We’re) maybe just looking ahead, but we can’t do that. We just got to take
guy, and then he’ll throw a ball down the next pitch. That’s kind of Bret Marks if you knew him at all. But it was very encouraging the last two nights to get him in the game and Hunter (Martin), two guys that I think have established themselves over the fall and the winter workouts.” Five relievers followed, their only blemish being the sixth where the Explorers strung together three hits and produced their only two runs on the night. “It expands our pitching a little bit,” Serrano said, “as long as we can continue to stay healthy.”
ly well.” In his UT debut, starter Bret Marks (1-0, 0.00 ERA) — a junior college transfer who played the last two seasons at Wallace State — tossed three scoreless frames, surrendering just one hit and a single free pass to go along with a pair of strikeouts. The junior righty needed 12 pitches to get through the first two batters of the game, but Marks quickly settled down after that, allowing only one additional La Salle hitter to reach base. “That’s kind of how he pitches,” Serrano said. “He’ll buzz a
it game by game.” UT (12-0) opened the scoring in the second, pushing across its initial three runs without the benefit of a hit. In the inning, La Salle (1-11) offered up three walks, two wild pitches and a throwing error to aid the Vols’ offense, who could only manage just one base knock through the first four frames. “Fortunately we were able to capitalize on some miscues,” Serrano said. “The scoreboard sometimes lies a little bit, and (despite scoring) 10 runs, I don’t think we swung the bat extreme-
