Vols limp to victory, 47-26 Austin Bornheim Assistance Sports Editor Things started off shaky for Tennessee, but the Volunteers surged in the second half to beat the Akron Zips 47-26 Saturday night.

The Vols (3-1, 0-1 SEC) outscored the Zips 24-3 in the second half and were led by Tyler Bray’s 27-43, 401 yards and three touchdown performance.

“He just kept settling in and he played well down the stretch,” said head coach Derek Dooley.

“He had a good demeanor about him. It was a big step for him.”

Bray started off shaky, throwing a pick-six to give Akron (1-3) an early 7-0 lead over the Vols.

“I just went to the wrong side,” said Bray. “I saw something I didn’t like, decided to go to the other side and I was wrong.”

The junior quarterback settled down, though, and made the throws when it counted. Bray started 11-20 for 158 yards, a touchdown and the costly interception. Bray finished strong, completing 16 of his last 19 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns.

“We just knew we had to get out there and pick it up,” Bray said. “I missed a bunch of throws.

We could have scored more. We just couldn’t finish drives. We were putting together great drives and just couldn’t finish.”

Bray, who’s 401-yard game was just the fifth in school history, wasn’t the only big producer in the Vols’ win. Running back Rajion Neal exploded for a 154yard performance and receiving touchdown.

“He did a lot better today,” Dooley said. “Looked like he broke a lot of tackles, hit the hole hard, got seven yards a carry.

That’s what we need.”

After the interception return for the Zips, Tennessee settled in and scored on their next two possessions, giving the Vols a 10-7

Tyler Bray throws the ball over the Akron defense on Sept. 22. lead midway through the first quarter.

The two teams traded blows the remainder of the first half and both kickers were a perfect 5-for-5 heading into the locker room with the game tied at 23-23.

“Every time we come into halftime we say the score is zero–zero,” said safety Byron Moore. “The second half is a

whole new game. The score at halftime doesn't matter. Just keep our composure and come out to play the rest of the game the best we can.”

Coming out of the half, the Vols turned it up a notch. Moore reeled in his second interception of the night with the Zips inside the Tennessee 20-yard line to end the last real touchdown threat Akron

mounted.

“He’s really settled in and is playing some good football,” Dooley said. “He’s not trying to do anything beyond what he is capable of and good things happen when you do that.”

The Volunteers were able to carry over their late first half momentum and score on four of the seven second half possessions,

all three touchdowns coming from the arm of Bray.

“I’m proud that we had so many things go wrong in the game and we came out and dominated the second half,” Dooley said.

Tennessee will travel to Georgia next weekend to take on the Bulldogs. The game will be at 3:30 p.m. ET and will broadcast on CBS.

Lady Vols bounce back on Sunday page 6

Professional photographer Paul Hassell stood cracking jokes and reminiscing about his travels in front of a full auditorium in the Arts and Architecture building on Thursday, Sept. 20. The UT alumnus and Knoxville native smiled genially to all those in attendance as he spoke about his life, his passions and how to turn art into a job.

Hassell, who is the owner and founder of the company Light Finds, has been trying to make it as a photographer since the age of 13. Through his experiences, he has gained a wealth of knowledge that he shared readily with the audience.

“If I asked you what your plan is for after art or architecture, a lot of you would get nervous and make a face,” Hassell said while contorting his mouth into a nerve-wracked expression. “... It’s the real world out there and it can be

scary... And I want to share my journey with you as someone that’s out in the real world, and trust me it’s not that scary, and it is actually a lot of fun.”

Hassell traced his career and his passion back to the Great Smoky Mountains.

“I wandered around there,” Hassell reminisced. “I had some unusual parents who believed I would get back if I had a good compass. I would walk around and look at the scenes. I would watch the light played with the clouds... I would stalk bears and hunt with my camera.”

From his time in the mountains, Hassell’s journey has led him to Laos, Mt. McKinley, the floor of the Grand Canyon, Denali and Hawaii, to name just a few stamps in his passport.

Throughout all of his travels, Hassell kept not only his love of art, but also his passion for finding new types of light to capture, and in doing that he found his business.

1846 — Eighth planet discovered German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle discovers the planet Neptune at the Berlin Observatory.

Neptune, generally the eighth planet from the sun, was postulated by the French astronomer Urbain-Jean-Joseph Le Verrier, who calculated the approximate location of the planet by studying gravity-induced disturbances in the motions of Uranus. On September 23, 1846, Le Verrier informed Galle of his findings, and the same night Galle and his assistant Heinrich Louis d’Arrest identified Neptune at their observatory in Berlin.

Noting its movement relative to background stars over 24 hours confirmed that it was a planet.

The blue gas giant, which has a diameter four times that of Earth, was named for the Roman god of the sea. It has eight known moons, of which Triton is the largest, and a ring system containing

1875 — Billy the Kid arrested for first time On this day in 1875, Billy the Kid is arrested for the first time after stealing a basket of laundry. He later broke out of jail and roamed the American West, eventually earning a reputation as an outlaw and murderer and a rap sheet that allegedly included 21 murders.

The exact details of Billy the Kid’s birth are unknown, other than his name, William Henry McCarty. He was probably born sometime between 1859 and 1861, in Indiana or New York. As a child, he had no relationship with his father and moved around with his family, living in Indiana, Kansas, Colorado and Silver City, New Mexico. His mother

died in 1874 and Billy the Kid—who went by a variety of names throughout his life, including Kid Antrim and William Bonney—turned to crime soon afterward.

McCarty did a stint as a horse thief in Arizona before returning to New Mexico, where he hooked up with a gang of gunslingers and cattle rustlers involved in the notorious Lincoln County War between rival rancher and merchant factions in Lincoln County in 1878. Afterward, Billy the Kid, who had a slender build, prominent crooked front teeth and a love of singing, went on the lam and continued his outlaw’s life, stealing cattle and horses, gambling and killing people. His crimes earned him a bounty on his head and he was eventually captured and indicted for killing a sheriff during the Lincoln County War. Billy the Kid was sentenced to hang for his crime; however, a short time later, he managed another jail break, murdering two deputies in the process. Billy the Kid’s freedom was brief, as Sheriff Pat Garrett caught up with the desperado at Fort Sumner, New Mexico, on July 14, 1881, and fatally shot him.

Students present poetry, fiction Mellisa McCollum Contributor A fresh breeze coursed bright and brilliantly through Hodges Library Auditorium Friday as student writers read samples of their work at UT Student Writers: A Family Weekend Event.

Marilyn Kallet, director of the creative writing program, and Martha Rudolph of the Writers in the Library series, felt undergraduate poets and fiction writers had not been given enough of a chance to showcase the amazing talent that flourishes in the University. Friday’s UT Student Writers: A Family Weekend Event, was the first Undergraduate Writers in the Library series with, hopefully, many more to come.

“They want it,” Travis Eckert, junior in special education, said in reference to the artistic expression of the writers.

Featured student writers included Marissa Landis, Rachael MacLean and Taria Person, and recent alumnus Andrew Hamilton.

Singer/songwriter RB Morris also presented a musical performance.

Landis, senior in the College Scholars Program, said she “has always written to think things through.”

MacLean, freshman in the Chancellor’s Honor Program, read a vivid short story and

HASSELL continued from Page 1 “I never was into the gadgets of photography,” he said. “My cameras are all beat up and never new. I just don’t really care about that... I wanted to build a business...around the idea that I am obsessed with light and working with people, and introducing people to light.”

And with that desire, Hassell started Light Finds, which is not only a vehicle for his art, but also a company through which he can perform photo workshops and photo tours, continuing his mission of introducing people to the light that he has spent his life chasing.

“I want people to get their feet dirty and experience something for themselves that will

described her dialogue in such a way that she became her characters, said Eckert But Person, senior in English, stole the show.

For her last piece of the evening, she began softly singing legendary folksinger Odetta’s “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child (a Long Way From Home),” then transitioned into spoken word without a second in between the two, as if she were using both vocal chords at once.

Christopher Barton, senior in English, commented on how powerful Person’s connection was with the audience as she drew the audience into her performance. Barton spoke about the difference of poetry slams where the poet is alone onstage in the spotlight and said spoken word is like waiting to be “released out of a cage if you’re the best.” But at this event she can relax and deliver the words as she pulls the audience into the story.

Those of the Creative Writing Program and the Writers in the Library had no doubt regarding the future success of these young talents, said Rudolph and Kallet.

At the close of the night, Morris, who still holds the record for being the writer in residence at UT for five years, crooned to the riffs and waves of his guitar.

“You become a child, your hand is out there in the sky,” said Morris. change them,” Hassell said. “And maybe they might even come back with a beautiful photograph as well.”

For many students in the audience, Hassell’s advice helped them try and think differently about their future.

“I think he gave good advice for all students,” said Erin Jones, senior in studio art. “I’ve been struggling with how to figure out what to do with my degree… I haven’t taken any business classes, so it was also really nice to hear how that can come in handy in the future.”

For Hassell, regardless of his success and his business, what truly matters is light.

“My business and my art exist to teach people to see light so that they can live a more authentic and passionate life.”

Gender roles distorted in society Too many men (and women) are afraid of the f-word—but not the one you’re thinking of.

Sometimes we’re embarrassed to say it, often because we’re not really sure what it means. Will it offend people? Will they think poorly of us afterwards? Can we say it if we aren’t women ourselves? That’s right, folks, this f-word is feminism.

The good news, boys, is that you have every right to claim equal ownership of the word feminism and all that it represents. Contrary to what many men are taught or assume, feminism has nothing to do with hating men. In fact, many feminists quite like men, and a few of them happen to be married to men. Feminists, after all, are not fighting for the dominance of women over men but for the liberation of everyone regardless of gender. The simple historical fact, however, is that for centuries men have systematically oppressed women and other minority groups they’ve deemed inferior to themselves (people of other races, children and members of the LGBTQ community, for example), and it is this patriarchal oppression that feminists are working to abolish. What may come as a surprise to many men who don’t identify as feminists is that patriarchy, through its establishment and enforcement of strictly defined gender roles, often wages as much psychological warfare against men as it does women.

Just as patriarchal society has a rigid set of expectations for women (that they should look and behave a certain way, have an aversion to certain tasks and professions and fulfill their duty to marry a man and bear his children), it has an equally rigid set of expectations for men. Tears, of course, are forbidden. Boys are taught to be competitive, always striving for dominance, even through aggression or violence. They are told that defeating others is important, not collaboration or equality.

Patriarchal society teaches boys at a remarkably young age what it means to be “a real man,” and

this very exclusive definition seldom departs the consciousness of these boys as they grow older.

Instead of learning to process their emotional responses to events and interactions in their lives, men are taught that emotions other than anger are feminine and thus not available to them. What is so dangerous about the process of a boy growing up in a patriarchal culture is that this limited range of emotions encourages a set of behaviors in him that are harmful to women, children and even to himself. If men in our society are psychologically primed for dominance and aggression, especially when it comes to the women in their lives, should it really come as a surprise to us that girlfriends and wives so frequently suffer sexual assault and rape at the hands of their boyfriends and husbands?

When such violence does occur, the easiest response in our patriarchal culture is to categorize the individual man as a bad man and refuse to acknowledge the ways in which society has contributed to his violent acts.

There is usually no social accountability for the ways in which this man has been taught to be emotionally paralyzed and physically aggressive if he wishes to be “a real man.” This is why it is so important for men to be unafraid to identify as feminists. Once men realize the violent nature of patriarchal culture, they can embrace feminism as a way of supporting the women in their lives, liberating themselves to an experience of life not defined by specific gender roles, and promoting safety in their communities. Men need feminism just as much and as urgently as women do, and the safety of our communities and health of our relationships depend on more men realizing this soon.

Advisor key to collegiate successes G o and Go by

Julia Ross Over the next few weeks, I would like to reflect with you on some of the best advice I’ve been given over the last few years. So many of our struggles as young people come from the simple fact that we don’t know how to navigate the system. What is key here is that for many of us, merely navigating the system isn’t enough. Instead, being bright young things, we want to surpass the limits of the system. We don’t want a good outcome from our participation in higher education; we want a phenomenal outcome. Just making it isn’t enough, though; we want to make a statement.

The goal is to squeeze as many unique experiences and valuable skills as possible from our collegiate career. These featured words of wisdom come from people who have experienced the world and lived to tell the tale.

More than that, they are experts on beating the system—that’s how they got where they are today.

Particularly in our college years, we find ourselves doing something for the first time practically all the time. We start new jobs every summer, join academic departments and then change our majors, and are constantly developing new interests. We don’t have the privilege of having a map of the system to follow. We haven’t been around long enough to know which strings to pull to get help or who to call on to get things done. The first piece of advice in the series addresses this problem. This gem from Dr. Bruce Wheeler, director of the Chancellor’s Honors Program, is deceptively simple. According to him, the first place to start is to “find a good advisor.”

Don’t laugh and turn the page just yet. Of

course you have an advisor offered to you by your department who you meet with in order to register for your classes. The person whom Wheeler is referring to will do far more than that. His or her role will fall under two main categories: helping you to move forward and saving you if you fall behind. In the first category, it is critical that your advisor is totally plugged into both your interests and your weaknesses.

Additionally, they need to be professionally involved in your field of interest. You want them to help you make connections, to introduce you to cool people, to suggest readings for you when something is changing at the forefront of your field, and to think of you first whenever a new opportunity opens up. This kind of connection will keep you motivated academically and in touch with what is occurring in your field beyond the classroom. Under the second category, your advisor needs to be the kind of person you make an appointment with when you are in trouble. When your grades are slipping, when your student organization has lost funding, when your internship falls through, or your job prospects aren’t what you expected, your advisor should be the first person you tell. We are young people. Though intelligent and driven, we are not invincible. The advisor acts as your safety net, and he or she needs to be someone who will know what strings to pull to get you back on track.

To get where we dream of going, we need someone to be along for the ride who has traversed the path before, who knows the directions by heart, and who is ready to guide us through it. In short, the first step to beating the system is finding someone who has done it before.

The importance of never losing track of one’s roots is something difficult to maintain. We graduate high school and then the world opens up. Some move away to college, some join the military and others don’t feel a need to find different paths. These decisions leave us with another: who we choose to keep in our lives.

With each path we take, new obstacles and new distances, both literal and figurative, develop. Weeks and months may pass and before you realize it, it’s been a year since you last spent time with your childhood best friend.

What matters the most, however, is what we make of the next opportunity we have to reconnect. Do you wish to keep them close?

Should they still have a place in your life? Do you deserve one in theirs? These questions are never easy and some people who were once more important to you than anyone else could disappear from your life entirely. Remembering to nurture friendships that have been important your whole life is a major aspect of life after high school.

In his novel, “Invisible Monsters,” Chuck Palahniuk wrote, “Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I’ve ever met.” Recovering and helping old friendships survive reflects the nature of this quote. The person that each of us are reflects the people we have known. This past weekend, I returned home for my high school’s homecoming game.

The alumni were invited back to celebrate the school’s 10th year of operation and also to witness the dedication of the stadium to our former principal. The football game played on in the background while we mingled with

people from our past, reminiscing, laughing about our old antics. It hasn’t been that long, but it has been long enough for some of us to forget what that sense of “home” felt like.

The people we surrounded ourselves with in our formative years helped form our opinions. They formed our habits. They also helped us start out on the paths that will eventually lead to our future. In high school, I wasn’t popular by any means. I didn’t party. I didn’t have much of a rebellious streak. I did surround myself with many goal-oriented, driven people. My best friends encouraged me to succeed but also to have fun. I see these habits in my lifestyle today.

At that football game, I spent time with people I’ve known since elementary school, several of whom I hadn’t spoken to in a couple of years. It was as if we had spoken just yesterday. I felt immersed in that feeling of being truly home, even if it was for a short period of time. I was also reminded of how inspired I was, upon graduating high school, to go to college and be the first of my siblings to graduate from a major university. Returning to where our roots begin can have that sort of healing effect on our mental state. It can remind us of why we fought so hard to get to where we are.

Moving away to college isn’t always easy.

Neither is remembering the reasons why we left in the first place. Sometimes it takes that small reminder of where we come from and all that we have conquered to get to where we are going. It’s not taking steps backward. Returning to the place that helped formed you should seem more like turning around after hiking a mountain and looking down over all that you have gotten past to reach the place you are in.

Don’t lose track of your roots.

Ashley Brown, junior in political science and Russian studies as well as president of the Russian Language Association, was exited to perform at the event.

“We have a lot of different characters from Russian folklore,” Brown said. “There’s a lot of evil characters. My character is a witch named Baba Yaga that lives in the forest.”

All of the actors were eager to perform.

There was no incentive or extra credit involved for the students participating—they were there because they wanted to be there.

Robert Naylor, sophomore in global studies, enjoyed his part in the folklore presentation.

“I think it’s cool that the I-House is able to spread cultural knowledge about Russian folklore,” Naylor said. “I am excited to be a part of it. I get to wear a beard!”

times was more like a witty improvisational piece of staged drama and dancing, one student was working to ensure that everything ran smoothly during the nearly three hour event. Noah Mayhew, junior in communications and Russian language, was dressed for the stage as he helped those cooking in the kitchen and prepared himself to narrate the evening’s main event.

“We wanted to do a folklore presentation, and since I speak well I wrote the script.”

Mayhew said. “It features nine traditional characters from Russian folklore. We are also doing a Russian dance tonight that we performed at the Rossini Festival and the Broadway Academy.”

Mayhew’s exuberant narrations kept the crowd entertained and received great applause at the presentation’s end. Roman Marshall, sophomore in economics, finished his part of the folklore presentation with a smile.

“I think it’s interesting to see so many kids come out to learn about a place that is so far away,” Marshall said. While Russian is a foreign language that few students at UT choose to study, what the Russian program lacks in numbers they make up for in enthusiasm.

Tycho – “Dive” Meanwhile, in Southern California, a graphic designer by the name of Scott Hansen is making music to put you to sleep/make you dance. I can’t really figure out which it is, but it sounds amazing coming off the wax. His first release in 2006, “Past is Prologue,” made waves with the bedroom rock audience (or as I term the genre, nap fusion), and gave him the chance to throw out a big release on Adult Swim soundtrack providers, “Ghostly International.” “Enter Dive,” is his big release in 2011. There are some moments in this album that will make you think he is legitimately a genius. I’m specifically referring to “Costal Brake” about 40 seconds into the song. Try to not get goose bumps. Think The Album Leaf mixed with shoegaze and synthesizers.

Why vinyl: As pointed out by others, Tycho spends an exorbitant amount of time making you feel like you are there at the time of recording. All of his synths and instruments are recorded analog, so the transition between mediums is pretty smooth. Plus, the needle dragging along the grooves makes for a perfect aesthetic on top of those sunset washed, reverb-y synth lines.

The Olivia Tremor Control – “Black Foliage: Animation Music, Volume One” Anyone whose read a Wikipedia entry about indie rock knows about the Elephant 6 Collective. If you don’t, it consists of bands such as Of Montreal, The Apples in Stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel and Beulah. Started in Colorado by Jeff Magnum, they produced some of the greater works in the genre, some would even say, pioneering the sound. The Olivia Tremor Control was probably the least commercially successful, and coincidentally, worst named band from the label. I’m not kidding when I say they sound like the Beach Boys mixed with The Beatles. That’s what it sounds like, but better. You’ll be in shock how many of their songs you’ll be singing after one listen. It’s trippy, it’s catchy and it’s awesome on vinyl.

Why vinyl: Legend has it, the recording equip-

The Velvet Underground - “The Velvet Underground” For their third album, the eponymous “The Velvet Underground,” the departure of art-rocker John Cale and producer Andy Warhol from the group allows for a soft, melodious feel distinctively different from the group’s prior avant-garde rampages. Considered by many to be the Underground’s finest work, this 1969 release is surprisingly quiet and contemplative, as if the band’s previous recordings were documenting a manic, speed-fueled party and this is the introspective morning after. Full of narcotic beauty and wonderfully intimate, Lou Reed-penned lyrics in songs such as “Candy Says,” “Pale Blue Eyes” and “I’m Set Free,” listening to The Velvet Underground on vinyl will quickly make novice listeners understand why this band is unquestionably one of the most influential groups in rock and roll history.

Why vinyl: While listening to modern music on vinyl definitely has its appeal, most especially from an auditory standpoint, nothing beats experiencing the melodies of yesteryear in their most authentic form. This album was quite literally meant to be heard on a turntable. Stop by a record store and pick up a used copy—the occasional snaps and crackles heard on old vinyl only heighten the nostalgic appeal. Set down the needle and step back in time.

Listen if: You keep a journal, spend excessive amounts of time in used bookstores, or feel like you quite possibly partied at the Factory in a past life.

Vols ‘maximize’ kicking game for win over Akron David Cobb Assistant News Editor Seventy years after his last game as head coach at Tennessee, General Robert Neyland’s infamous “game maxims” still hold true—at least they did Saturday night.

In accordance with Neyland’s first and sixth laws, UT made fewer mistakes than the Akron Zips and pressed the kicking game—though not necessarily by choice in the 47-26 UT victory.

A week after missing an extra point, kicker Derrick Brodus connected on all nine of his attempts, including four field goals, as he became the first UT kicker since Daniel Lincoln in 2007 to connect on four attempts in a single game.

“I didn’t want to hammer him for one extra point,” Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley said. “I just felt like he deserved another shot, and he went out there and kicked it great. They were big.

We were struggling in the red zone.”

The Vols converted on all eight of their trips inside the Akron 20, four of them resulting in field goals from the kicker previously known for his emergency appearance in UT’s 24-0 victory over MTSU in 2011.

“Last week, I had a miss hit and that’s one of those things where you just have to have a short memory and move on to the next kick and don’t think about it,” Brodus said. “(Tonight) I definitely just went into each kick one kick at a time and (then) moving onto the next

one.”

The junior walk-on’s first kick was a career-long 37 yards. It was set up by UT junior safety Byron Moore’s interception of Zips quarterback Dalton Williams.

A later pick by Moore gave him three on the year, the most of any player on the UT team.

With the score 23-23 at halftime, Williams was directing an Akron drive deep in UT territory on its first possession of the second half. The Zips were poised to take the lead until Moore stepped in, picking off a pass at the twoyard line.

The play evened the turnover battle at two, and made Moore the first player since Eric Berry in 2007 to record multiple interceptions in a game for the Vols.

A fourth quarter pick by junior cornerback Eric Gordon gave the Vols a 3-2 edge in the turnover category, and set up a one-play Tennessee touchdown drive that gave the Vols their first two-possesion lead of the game.

“It was huge, especially Eric Gordon’s,” Dooley said. “That was a big play in the game. It kind of let us pull away. That’s what we need on this defense.

We’ve got to get turnovers.”

The UT defense has picked off eight passes so far in 2012, a mark it didn’t reach until the eleventh game of the 2011 season.

“It is definitely good when we can come out and win the turnover battle,” Moore said.

“The plays that we do give up we try to get them down as quick as possible. I think we did good. We didn’t really give up many big passing plays.”

Kelsey Robinson waits prepared for the set against Cincinnati on Aug. 24.

Lady Vols rebound against SC Matthew Magill Staff Writer After a disappointing loss to Arkansas on Friday, in a game littered with errors, No. 21 Tennessee volleyball adjusted to pick up a win against South Carolina on Sunday.

In Friday’s action, Tennessee committed 30 attacking errors and 10 service errors in a losing effort to Arkansas, 1-3 (25-21, 20-25, 25-17, 25-17). The errors, along with 16 blocks by Arkansas, led the Lady Vols to believe that it was their doing — not Arkansas’s — that caused them to lose.

“It would be one thing if they were doing things on the other side of the net that was putting pressure on us, but it was all on our side of the net,” head coach Rob Patrick said. “That’s what I was trying to preach to them. We’ve got to take care of the ball on our side of the net.”

Junior outside hitter Kelsey Robinson finished with 14 kills, but was held to just one in each of the last two sets and sat out a large portion of the third. Robinson, the reigning SEC Player of the Year, was swapped out for Kayla Jeter, an All-SEC senior coming back from injury.

“Kelsey is working her tail off,” Patrick said. “She’s carried us. She just wasn’t playing well right then. She had a bunch of errors and wasn’t getting kills. I thought if I put Kayla in we could get a spark in that situation. Kelsey gets to have a bad game.”

Sophomore setter Mary Pollmiller picked up her 2,000th career assist, just the seventh Lady Vol to reach that mark, but also found herself frustrated by the team’s play.

“We’re not ourselves right now and we need to pull together as a team,” Pollmiller said. “It’s everything on our side; it’s nothing the other team is doing to us. We should’ve beaten them in three if we were playing the way we need to play. The team doesn’t feel right.”

If the team didn’t feel right, it certainly didn’t show on Sunday, as the Lady Vols bounced back with a 3-1 victory against South Carolina (25-14, 25-20, 23-25, 25-23).

The Lady Vols held the Gamecocks to a hitting percentage of .110, including a -.028 clip in the first set, while hitting .273 themselves. The loss was only South Carolina’s second on the season.

Tennessee opened the match on a 14-2 run and swept the first two sets easily, but had trouble closing out the match, something Patrick attributed to a loss of focus.

“We came in Saturday and we really, really had to work at making sure that for longer periods of time we were focused in on what our responsibilities were,” Patrick said.

“We got a little unorganized against Arkansas. You can’t do that against good teams. If we can play like we did the first two sets, that’s how good we are.”

Robinson had 21 kills and 22 digs, but it wasn’t a onewoman show. Tiffany Baker and Jeter also added doubledigit kills, while Pollmiller and freshman setter Bianca Arellano each amassed over 20 assists. The balanced attack proved too much for South Carolina.

“It was huge for us to get other people involved in the offense,” Patrick said. “I thought the setters did a fantastic job of what we call throwing the ball around. They weren’t always just setting the person that’s the easiest person to set. I was very happy with that today.”

Tennessee has a short week before travelling to Lexington, Ky., to face the Kentucky Wildcats on Wednesday night. The match will be televised nationally on ESPNU. “Kentucky’s always a big rivalry,” Jeter said. “We have to really go in a focus on our fundamentals. When we go in the game, the adrenaline will be there and we have to stay focused for the whole match.”
