Annual hike kicks off sexual assault awareness month Eric Bailes

Staff Writer UT community members participated in the fourth annual Hike the Hill in Heels to kick off Sexual Assault Awareness Month Monday afternoon. Orchestrated by the Center for Health Education and Wellness (CHEW), students, faculty and staff started the walk from HSS to Ayres Hall wearing heels of all kinds, such as pumps and platform heels. Participants were encouraged to decorate their heels with various types of accessories, such as glitter, pom poms and ribbons. Some opted to decorate their heels as gaudy as possible, while some opted for more simple decorations, adding a red heart or a Power T to stand out. Before the hike began, Title IX coordinator

Ashley Blamey spoke briefly and said the crowd gathered was the largest yet. Blamey discussed the Volunteer spirit within everyone asking students to talk to each other about the event’s personal importance. “We have to be clear who the volunteers are and who they stand for,” Blamey said. Blamey then introduced Chancellor Beverly Davenport, who spoke about sexual assault and her goal of eliminating the issue on campus. Davenport said sexual assault is an uncomfortable topic, so the campus community must do something uncomfortable to remind each other of this issue. “It’s on us to make a difference,” Davenport said. “It’s on us to stop sexual assault.” Davenport started the hike, leading the large group around HSS, down Pedestrian Walkway and up the stairs of the Hill. Hikers ranged from athletes to university officials and more. Once the hike ended, participants talked with various organizations on campus, socialized and

took part in several competitions, such as taking a waltz down a catwalk. The Interfraternity Council (IFC) wanted to show their strong stance against sexual assault and called on representatives from each chapter to take part. “I’m very excited about IFC and other fraternity and other sorority organizations participating in this event,” sexual violence prevention coordinator for CHEW Fletcher Haverkamp said. “I think it’s important that those organizations, among many other organizations on campus, can demonstrate this is obviously an issue that we really care about, and we are excited to help lead the way on this issue.” Junior studying political science Gavin Cox participated in the hike for the first time today. The president of his fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, asked Cox to participate. While Cox walked, he said the only thought he could think about was what Davenport said in her opening remarks regarding the uncom-

fortableness of not only the heels but the situation the event addressed. “As hard as that was and as small of a problem that was, it just seemed like putting those two problems next to each other made it seem like ‘why don’t we talk about sexual awareness more,’” Cox said. Cox said the event stood as a stepping stone toward better conversation regarding sexual assault and said it inspired people to get more involved with the issue. “I think it’s a powerful image seeing a bunch of guys, especially wearing heels, because I think there is a stigma against that sort of thing,” Cox said. “People wouldn’t want to participate in this because it’s girly, or it’s not manly to wear heels, but I think that’s the whole point. Seeing so many guys out here doing it, alongside the girls, is just a really powerful image, and I think that will really be able to speak to a lot of people on campus.”

Students, staff reflect on progress in campus safety Cat Trieu

Copy Editor

John Orona

Contributor Across the U.S., discussions of safety on campuses have headlined the news. While most UT students feel safe on campus, surveys and reports have shown that campus safety is still a work in progress. According to the recent Title IX report and climate survey, 15 percent of students have personally experienced exclusionary, intimidating, offensive or hostile conduct on campus, most of which focused on black and LGBTQ+ students. An additional 32 percent have personally witnessed such conduct. The Title IX report shows 182 sexual misconduct complaints in 2017, the most of any year so far. However, that number pales compared to the 10 percent of respondents who indicated that they have experienced unwanted sexual conduct while at UT in the anonymous campus climate survey. With the numbers for sexual assault reports doubled from 2016 to 2017, Laura Bryant, director for the Center for Health and Wellness (CHEW), attributes the growth to an increase in students’ knowledge of sexual assault and reporting. “We start educating students before they step on foot at orientation about sexual assault prevention, how to report sexual assault and the definition of consent, so students probably, more than any other time in history, are now educated about what sexual misconduct is,” Bryant said. “I think that number is still likely the same. It’s just that more people know how to report, and it’s becoming more of an issue that people are ready to talk about and ready to face head-on.” Educating and engaging the student body about sexual assault is one of CHEW’s many jobs. Sexual violence prevention coordinator of CHEW Fletcher Haverkamp is in charge of organizing events like Hike the Hills in Heels and VOLentine’s Week to help students know the different aspects of sexual violence, ranging from healthy relationships to stalking awareness. “Out of this office, we do lots of fantastic things, and we try to do lots of good prevention work,” Haverkamp said. “I think our office and the university has made a very strong commitment against these things, and we are taking as many approaches as we can.” While different evenws about sexual assault awareness happen almost weekly, Haverkamp and Bryant face the issue of catering to the transitional state of the student body. “Seniors may know lots about the things we offer, but then August is going to hit,” Haverkamp said, referring to seniors’ graduation and the incoming freshman. “I think there’s always the opportunity to grow the education we are doing, to work more creatively, collaboratively. It’s important for us to build and expand

on our relationships every year and engage students.” To help combat issues of discrimination on campus, offices like the Center for Leadership and Service (CLS) and organizations like the Student Government Association (SGA) work to show support towards those marginalized groups. When it was announced that Matthew Heimbach of the Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP) came with his group to speak at Buehler Hall, campus upset was widespread with protest and activism. Events like “United at the Rock” that had students put their handprints on the Rock to show unity against the group’s presence and several seminars about how to deal with discriminating messages responded to Heimbach’s visit. Chancellor Beverly Davenport was also vocal about the issue, releasing a statement warning the TWP that they were not welcome on campus and that UT, as a whole, would strongly fight their message. The TWP visited in early February, and campus discussion about issues like white supremacy stays prevalent. At the Clifton M. Jones Leadership Conference, Kriss McClellan, coordinator for alternative breaks and community partnerships at CLS, gave a presentation and fostered discussion among students about white supremacy and privilege. “When I was presented with the opportunity to come up with a presentation, it was right around the time the Traditionalist Worker Party was coming to campus, so that was very much on my mind,” McClellan said. “Also, just being involved as a student on campus and being involved with activism, I thought that was very important for a student at the University of Tennessee to have the opportunity to discuss privilege and their identity and learn how to be an agent of change.” While offices like CHEW, CLS and SGA are working towards more awareness, inclusivity and assault prevention, students still feel that more can be done, as shown by the number of unreported incidents. The campus climate survey suggested a reason incidents go unreported is a lack of trust in the reporting process for both episodes of discrimination and unwanted sexual conduct. “The primary rationale cited for not reporting these incidents, across all types, was related to concerns with the reporting process, and anything happening as a result of reporting the incident,” the survey said. Respondents expressed fears of not being believed, being blamed and shunned associated with reporting their experiences. “I felt that my credibility would be called into question, that I would be blamed, that I would be labelled a ‘slut’ or a ‘liar,’ that mutual friends would shun me, that I would be embarrassed if anybody knew I had been raped,” one individual wrote. “That men would not want to date me if they knew, and over everything, because I knew it would be highly unlikely that the school or

“ I felt that my credibility would be called into question, that I would be blamed, that I would be labelled a ‘slut’ or a ‘liar’, that mutual friends would shun me, that I would be embarassed if anybody knew I had been raped...” Unknown Respondant authorities would have done [anything] about it at all, despite the fact the rapist being a UT student living in my building.” However, even if students do report their experiences, more than half felt that the incident did not receive an appropriate response, according to the survey, which can add to their reluctance to report. One topical and controversial argument for increased campus safety turns to guns. Full-time UT employees are allowed to carry concealed firearms, as long as they are registered with UTPD. With faculty and staff allowed to carry, students like Savanna Jacoby, junior in journalism and electronic media and communications director for the College Republicans, feel that students should be able to do so as well. “If they allow students who have their permits to carry, I think that it would allow those students to feel safer,” Jacoby said. “I think if full-time faculty are eligible to carry their firearms with a carry permit, then why should full-time students who are over the age of 21 not be allowed to carry?” According to UTPD, students are allowed to carry mace on campus, and the university offers aerosol defense training, although no other weapons are permitted for students. UTPD also offers free Rape Aggression Defense System programs that train women in awareness, risk reduction, avoidance, prevention and self-defense. With different events of discrimination, alcohol and drugs, gun violence and sexual violence popping up constantly, true safety can’t always be guaranteed.

Remember student livelihood We live on a campus without an Office of Diversity and Inclusion. This is a reality. We also live on a campus where neo-Nazis came to speak just over a month ago. This, too, is a reality. On March 27, a coalition of student organization leaders, including myself, spoke to the student senate about student programming on our campus. There are many questions left unanswered. How can a straw poll that was initiated under unclear circumstances be used to justify the lack of input from student organization leaders on this decision? How did this idea move, seemingly from the idea stage on March 6, to “it’s happening,” as declared by both President Hartgrove and Vice Chancellor Carilli on March 27? Why was the Senate not made aware of the conflict of interest from Senator Peterson, who called for the original straw poll, yet sits on the working group for the travel fund? Did the Senate’s approval of this idea truly matter to administration or was this simply a move to obscure that a decision had long been made without even their consideration? Once again, student organizations must take up the intellectual and emotional burden of filling the gaps in student development and well-being. This is our everyday reality. As Senator Grey Mangan declared on Tuesday evening, “If we can’t fund an Office of Diversity and Inclusion, we need to

fund the next best thing which is you guys.” The lack of transparency on Tuesday is just one issue, but for us, it feels situated within a larger context. We have been here since 1973, and we cannot claim to have faced the same scrutiny our friends at SEAT have since their inception, 6 years ago. But we have seen the Tennessee Legislature step in to assert political control over student life at UT. Senators Roberts and Bell used one of our events that did not use student programming funds to attack the leadership of Chancellor Davenport, simply because it presented a pro-choice viewpoint. When you go to the polls for SGA in a few weeks, remember this. Vote for representatives who will be transparent and prioritize diversity and inclusion. When you go to opt-in, remember this. Show up at threatened events like Sex Week because they need your support. And in November, remember this. I’m sure our state representatives will. Remember student livelihood. That is a reality we are fighting for. Abbey Geater is a senior in social work and the president of the Women’s Coordinating Council. She can be reached at ageater@vols.utk.edu.

Sex Week educates, entertains Natalia Capella Staff Writer

Sex Week will bring sex education to campus for the sixth year in a row next week. Hosted by Sexual Empowerment and Awareness at Tennessee (SEAT), Sex Week will provide an accurate and comprehensive sex education through beginning and continuing conversations regarding sex, consent, sexual assault, relationships, sexuality and gender. The events start on Friday, April 6 and extend until Thursday, April 12. “We aim to empower individuals through sex positivity and body positivity,” junior studying sociolinguistics and women’s gender and sexuality, co-chair Patrick Sonnenberg said. Sex Week started in the spring of 2012 when the Issues Committee of Central Programming Council brought sexologist Megan Andelloux to discuss sexual health and empowerment. Following the event, two UT students collaborated to be one of the first ten universities in the country to host a Sex Week. The two students hoped to bring justice and openness to the topics covered and promote appreciation for diversity and unity of human experiences in sexual and gender identities, as well as how those topics are shaped by culture, politics, religion, economy and environment. The first annual Sex Week garnered 4,000 attendees. SEAT advocates through several core values, including open-mindedness, inclusivity, interdisciplinary, sex positivity, growth, development and transparency. “I hope students leave an event having learned at least one thing. I hope our topics and events help spark difficult conversations related to consent and pleasure,” Sonnenberg said.

“Since we offer such a wide range of programming, I hope it is able to expand and challenge students’ own understandings and beliefs about sex, gender, and sexuality.” Sex Week 2018 will feature events hosted for students such as Masturbation Nation, Butt Stuff 2.0: The Pegging, Feminist Geek Icons and #MeToo. Events such as Your Vulva, You and Your Penis and You will focus on health. Events related to virginity, religion, law, abortion and history lectures, as well as workshops panels, will be provided alongside interactive entertainment programs like a drag show, carnival, cabaret and art gallery. “I’m most looking forward to all the events, so it’s hard to choose just one. I love Dr. Doe’s YouTube channel, so I’m really looking forward to her event Toys R Sex,” Sonnenberg said. “I’m also really looking forward to the cabaret, as I know a lot of work has been put in terms of managing, music, choreographing, practicing and performing.” Sonnenberg said the week provides sexual education while also encouraging sexual behaviors. “Since sex education is not a requirement in public high schools in the state of Tennessee, many students come to college with misinformation or lack of knowledge about sex,” Sonnenberg said. “We aim to not only provide accurate, comprehensive sex education but also to push the conversations on sex towards empowerment, pleasure and body positivity.” Wyatt Miller, a freshman studying aerospace engineering, said Sex Week is important for students who may not have received a proper education about the topic before college. “Many public schools in the bible belt don’t effectively teach (sex education) since it is a touchy subject and especially when a child has conservative parents,” Miller said.

McClung Museum opens “Pick Your Poison” exhibit Emily Lewellyn Staff Writer

A moonshine still replica sits in the doorway of the newest exhibit at McClung Museum, welcoming visitors to explore the history and changing the culture surrounding the use of mind-altering drugs. The National Institute of Health and the National Library of Medicine initiated the interest of the curators to feature the exhibit. “Pick Your Poison” timely reflects the recent announcement that the university is pursuing a smoke-free campus starting in August. The exhibit also looks to change views in voting to alter state laws regarding the use of drugs. The opening drug display centers on alcohol and covers topics of prohibition, diagrams of the inner workings of a still, the use of fermenting black muscadine and perceived issues of morality in consumption throughout history. Interesting pinpoints include alcohol prescribed as a treatment for malaria, alcohol being issued in rations to Civil War soldiers, the fear of German immigrant influence with lager beers as well as Irish drinkers, whiskey used as legal tender in early America and a display of a beer stein marketed towards children. A “moral thermometer” diagram from 1790 made by Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, contests that anything consumed more potent than wine or strong beer was dangerous. Drinks with a higher alcohol content were listed alongside corresponding vices, diseases and punishments for the one that ingests such despicable liquids. Catherine Shteynberg, co-curator of the exhibit and assistant director of McClung, explained the placement of alcohol at the forefront of the showcase. “It was intentional to include various objects in the show that have to do with our history, here, locally and regionally,” Shteynberg said. “Each section talks about how cultural stereotypes have played into our social and political views about each one of these drugs. Certainly this idea, romantic or hated, of moonshining and moonshiners is a part the stereotype surrounding both our region and a part of the important history and lore of alcohol as well.” The discussion on tobacco began with Native American usage, both spiritually and socially, while also being used as a remedy for wounds and burns. Advertisements promoted the habit, catering to varying demographics. “TAKE a slender sheath of brilliant blue, accent it with a jewelled belt, and for the final touch of elegance, smoke MARLBOROS!” spouted an ad from 1943, catering to the female population with a woman in an evening gown printed on

the poster, lazily puffing away. Others tried to sell with the endorsement of doctors in 1946 with phrases such as “more doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette! This is no causal claim. It’s an actual fact.” Shteynberg commented on the history behind the advertisement. “At the time that was an eight-year marketing campaign that was extraordinarily successful for that cigarette company,” Shteynberg said. “Today, of course, it seems laughable that a healthcare professional would be promoting the use of tobacco. So I think it also demonstrates how our attitudes shift drastically over periods of time, and that something that was once considered really appropriate at later times (changes) once we learn more scientifically and in terms of research.” Another picture is displayed for twentyfirst century eyes, showing Red Cross workers handing out cigarettes to soldiers in France in 1918. Even more surprising is discovering cigarettes were not taken from ration packs until 1949. The purchasing of cigarettes only Leaflets including images of opium are featured in the McClung Museum exhibit. began to decline after the Surgeon General’s Emily Gowder / The Daily Beacon not people should do one drug or another tinued to be used or have been outlawed are initial comments on tobacco in 1964. The section devoted to marijuana espoused drug, or whether drugs should be allowed or really intimately bound up in socio-political the more innocent use for rope and cloth, shouldn’t be allowed,” Shteynberg said. “But attitudes and not just the simple ‘This is a Mexican immigrants introducing smoking rather to get people to understand that the medicine, this is not. This is okay to use, this the cannabis leaves, its use in medicine to reasons why these drugs have been used, con- is not.’” calm the nerves, and a short film depicting the dangers of cannabis. The film’s poster brazenly says, “Women cry for it- men die for it! ‘REEFER MADNESS’ Drug-crazed abandon.” ‘Reefer Madness’ was created by a church group and intended to tell parents that consuming the drug would drive their children to risky behaviors. A sign in the exhibit explained that with “By the 1960s, the drug was associated with the urban poor, criminals, political radicals and social misfits.” Information on opium included medicinal “treatment of sleeplessness and illnesses such as coughs, smallpox, cholera, malaria, syphilis, dysentery and tuberculosis.” Doctors began using it themselves, causing an addiction that attracted both patients and physicians. The drug was even used by ancient Egyptians and Romans as a sedative, and in the late 1800s, Chinese immigrants introducing the drug within cities in the bowels of opium dens. Cocaine was and is the center of the other drug sects. It was interestingly used as a cure for alcoholism and opium addiction, as well as a local anesthetic. South Americans long chewed coca leaves for altitude sickness prevention, with the powdered form coming in the late 1800s to sustain energy whilst working. A sign chronicled, “Employers distributed cocaine to miners, construction crews and factory employees, as a way to increase productivity.” “The museum is not interested in making political statements, at all, about whether or

Belmont matchup key for Vols’ rebound after losses Blake Von Hagen Staff Writer

The Tennessee baseball team enters Tuesday’s midweek contest with Belmont on a three-game losing streak after being swept by South Carolina in Columbia over the weekend. Tony Vitello, Tennessee’s head coach, said he was still impressed with the effort his team showed against the Gamecocks. “I’m not a loser, but I am proud of the group that I am getting on the bus with here,” Vitello said. Tennessee leads the all-time series with Belmont 9-4, including a four-game winning streak over the Bruins heading into Tuesday night’s game. The Vols won the last meeting with a score of 14-8 in May of 2017. After returning nine starters from last year’s team, Belmont was picked to finish fourth in the Ohio Valley Conference Preseason Poll. The Bruins are coming off an appearance in the OVC Championship game last season. Junior pitcher Dylan King was named the Preseason Pitcher of the Year in the OVC. King struck out 108 batters last season, good for second in program history in a single season. The Vols are in need of a victory after the three games in South Carolina, but Vitello feels that effort is not the problem. Tennessee’s lineup, especially the middle of the Vols’ order, struggled offensively throughout the series with the Gamecocks. Andre Lipcius, Benito Santiago and Brodie Leftridge combined to go 1-for-35 at the plate.

“I think the opposite of what you would think,” Vitello said. “Just trying to do too much. I see one of those guys have one game count for three or four or have one at-bat count for three or four.” Despite the lack of production, Vitello was still pleased with the effort his leaders showed. Now, it is time to tune the effort and turn it into offensive production. “It’s those guys really wanting to win,” Vitello said. “I’ll get on the bus with that all night long, but it’s not going to change unless we adjust and the adjustment, in my opinion, is to relax and actually do a little less if that makes sense.” One player that continued to find suc- Short stop Andre Lipcius at bat on March 23, 2018.

MEN’S GOLF

Vols claim sixth place finish at 3M Augusta Invitational Staff Report With spring play nearing its close, the Tennessee men’s golf team is attempting to make some noise throughout the final weeks of regular season play. Bolstered by the play of senior Lorenzo Scalise, the Vols claimed a sixth-place finish at the 3M Augusta Invitational on Sunday. Notching his third consecutive top-five performance, Scalise finished second individually, one stroke behind first-place Dylan Meyer of Illinois. Scalise finished the tournament 10-under (69-69-68—206). Three sophomores also put together strong outputs for the Vols, who were

expecting to bounce back following a disappointing finish at the John Hayt Invitational. Brayden Garrison contributed the thirdhighest score, carding a five-over-par (7969-73), tying for 43rd place overall. Jake Meenhorst wasn’t far behind, finishing six-over-par (72-72-76—222) and claiming the 47th individual spot. Sean Wilcox recorded a score of 17-over (77-76-80—233), good for 71st place and Rhys Nevis gave Tennessee its second-best individual performance, shooting threeunder (67-73-73—213). The 12th place tie marked Nevis’s best performance since October 3 at the Jackrabbit, including his highest totals in strokes and placement since then. As a team, Tennessee finished the tourna-

ment at 4-under (285-285-290—860), edging out conference foe and the seventh place South Carolina Gamecocks, who finished at 2-under. The 16th-ranked Fighting Illini of Illinois took home the tournament title with an overall score of 25-under (280-284-725— 839) throughout three complete rounds. Houston and Wake Forest both tied for second place after shooting 10-under each while South Carolina-Aiken and Kennesaw State rounded out the top five after tying for fourth place. Augusta, the Tournament’s host, brought home a 12th-place finish. The sixth-place finish marks the Vols best output since the Southwestern Invitational on Feb. 27, which saw Tennessee take home

third place. It also marked the fifth time in the last six tournaments that Scalise recorded a top-five finish as an individual. While the Vols have not taken home a first-place finish this year, they have finished top six in three of their last five tournaments. Since Feb. 5th, the Vols have placed outside of the top 10 just twice following a three-month period without organized play. Next up, the Vols will participate in the Yale Spring Invitational, which is set for April 14th in New Haven, CT. That will be there the last tournament they partake in before the SEC Tournament, which is slated to begin on April 25th in Sea Island, GA.

MEN’S TENNIS

No. 19 Vols handle business, notch win against Auburn Will Backus

Staff Writer

On Friday, the No. 19 Tennessee men’s tennis team returned home after a successful victory against the No. 14-ranked Georgia Bulldogs in Athens to face upset-minded Auburn, winless so far in the SEC. Though the Tigers put up a fight, Tennessee was able to hold resolute and down the Tigers 6-1 to improve to 6-2 in the SEC and 17-5 overall. “You always have to play a bit different in conditions like this,” sophomore Scott Jones said. “Where I’m from back in Australia, it’s really windy, so it didn’t have too much of an effect for me.” Despite the chilly and windy, and previously rainy, conditions, all matches were played outside at Barksdale Stadium. Earlier in the week, head coach Chris Woodruff had hammered home the point that he did not want his squad to sleep on the beleaguered Tigers. He was very pleased with how his team responded on Friday. “I think doubles was good because it gave us a wake-up call,” Woodruff said. “Auburn came to play, and we easily could have lost the doubles point.” As usual, play began with doubles matches.

The freshman duo of Nicaise Muamba and Andrew Rogers got the day started off on the right foot for Tennessee, dominating the Auburn team of Diego Chavarria and Lorenzo Joaquin Rodriguez 6-0. However, the other Tennessee duos were not able to dispatch of their opponents as quickly. The team of Timo Stodder and Adam Walton became entangled in a 6-6 tie breaker with Auburn’s Matteo De Vincentis and Carles Sarrio. After a back and forth battle in every set leading up to the tie breaker, the Tennessee duo was able to dispatch Auburn 7-3 to secure the doubles point for the Vols. The No. 15-ranked duo of Preston Touliatos and Luis Valero’s match went unfinished. Tennessee got the ball rolling early during singles play. Touliatos, who has made a large step for Tennessee this season, was the first Vol to secure victory. Playing on court four, the redshirt junior was able to easily dispatch Auburn’s Sarrio 6-1 in the first set. In the second set, Touliatos struggled a bit more with Sarrio, but was still able to extend Tennessee’s overall lead to 2-0 with a 6-4 victory. “I thought Preston (Touliatos) did a really good job,” Woodruff said. “I thought Preston did a great job with his energy, especially with the way he ended the match was really strong.” Luca Wiedenmann was next for Tennessee, and the outcome of his match was never really in question. After winning the first set 6-3,

Emily Gowder / The Daily Beacon Wiedenmann turned in an impressive 6-1 performance to take the second set and put Tennessee within one match of victory against Auburn. Enter Scott Jones. After almost giving up a 5-2 lead in the first set, allowing Auburn’s Tad Maclean to win two games before putting him away 6-4, Jones was able to easily pick up a 6-2 second-set triumph, sealing Tennessee’s overall win against the Tigers.

The rest of Tennessee’s squad with unfinished matches would still play through. Stodder was able to overcome Edward Nguyen (7-5, 6-3) and Walton got past Olle Thestrup of Auburn (6-4, 6-4), while Valero fell to De Vincentis (7-6, 7-6). The Vols return home for their next contest on Sunday as they welcome the No. 12 Mississippi State Bulldogs to Knoxville. Play is set to begin at 1 p.m. at the Goodfriend Tennis Center.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Lady Vols close strong, get first SEC victory over No. 15 Auburn Cory Sanning

Copy Editor As dark clouds began to settle over the Goodfriend Tennis Center on Thursday, the rain was unable to put out the fire that the Tennessee Lady Vols displayed. After opening the season on a 13-match win streak, the Tennessee women’s tennis team had lost its spark as of late, losing seven of their last eight matches. Looking to get back on track against the 15th ranked Auburn Tigers, the Lady Vols had their work cut out for them against a team that had won five of their last seven. Auburn opened up the match by taking the first game in doubles, with Elizabeth Profit and Chelsea Sawyer falling to the duo of Jaeda Daniel and Madeline Meredith by a score of 6-3. Sadie Hammond and Gabby Schuck answered by taking the match on court two, 6-4. “Our team came out with an unbelievable amount of energy and excitement,” head

coach Alison Ojeda said. “In order for us to get to that next level, we have to let ourselves play big in big time moments.” Ariadna Riley and Kaitlin Staines secured the doubles point by defeating Alizee Michaud and Taylor Russo in an 8-6, 7-6 tiebreaker match that caught the attention of members in the audience. “I think that was some of the best tennis I’ve played,” Staines said. “I found my way a little bit after lacking a bit of confidence.” In singles play, the Lady Vols were just as effective, controlling the momentum for nearly the entire match. Hammond opened up the singles round with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Michaud, with Profit dropping her singles match to Daniel by a score of 6-1, 6-3. Schuck, who was successful during doubles, lost her singles match to Russo by a score of 2-6, 4-6, with Staines overcoming an opening game loss to claim court four’s match, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2. Attempting to make a rally late, the Tigers evened the score at 2-2 before Tennessee recorded the match’s final two scores.

Johanna Silva’s tiebreaker victory over Auburn’s Georgie Axon on court six proved to be the final blow as the Lady Vols took the match, 4-2. “It was an amazing feeling,” Silva said. “It was about time we won after every match was super close. This time, all the work paid off.” The win marked Tennessee’s first since Feb. 25, when they defeated Florida Gulf Coast, 4-1. Ojeda, who is now in her second season as coach of the Lady Vols, said the victory could provide a spark of confidence moving forward. “It provides massive momentum for us moving forward,” Ojeda said. “You have to find that neutral zone where you just play and let yourself be free, staying encouraged even with some losses.” With seven matches remaining before tournament play, the Lady Vols rank next-to-last in the SEC standings with a conference record of 1-7, but Ojeda doesn’t feel that will affect the team moving forward. “It takes just one win for us to know that we can do this, and play with some of the best teams in the country,” Ojeda said.
