Tennessee Volunteers

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

Vols propel in double overtime victory Staff Report

In what seemed like a replay of so many games from last season, the Vols came out victorious in a back and forth wild affair.

For four quarters and an overtime the Vols trailed, but they found themselves on the victorious side in the end.

After the Yellow Jackets stung the Vols with their rushing attack, the Vols were able to recover and win a 42-41 thriller in double overtime.

The Vols got off to a red hot start on defense in the first half flying around to the ball and forcing two quick three-and-outs.

However, the triple-option offense is known to wear opponents down, and that’s what it did to the Vols.

The Yellow Jackets went on to score on two of their next three drives while chewing up the time of possession. Their triple-option offense held the ball for over 20 minutes in the first half.

A big reason for the Yellow Jackets’ ball dominance was the Vols inability to get Yellow Jackets’ offense off the field on third downs. The Vols allowed the them to covert 8-11 third downs in the first half.

Offensively, the Vols had the ball for only 8:43 in the first half and only ran 28 plays.

With the defense’s inability to get off the field, the offense totaled just 94 yards in the first half.

Junior Quinten Dormady didn’t begin well in his first career start. He missed several passes, throwing some into a lot of traffic and also showing some inaccuracy.

While he may have struggled, the issues weren’t completely Dormady’s fault. A combination of the Yellow Jackets’ pass rush and dropped passes from receivers also helped play a part in a 8-20 first half from Dormady that resulted in just 52 yards through the air.

The bright spots for the Vols first half were John Kelly and Evan Berry.

Kelly had seven rushes for 35 yards in the first half with a touchdown. He also added three catches for 19 yards to lead the team in receiving in the first half as well.

For Berry, it was just back to the basics.

The program’s all-time return yardage leader nearly took two kickoff returns the distance.

He had 86 yards in his two returns before the Yellow Jackets decided to kick away from him.

In the second half, the Vols decided to fight back with a much better effort.

Defensively, the team still struggled against the run and finished the game giving up 522 rushing yards.

Offensively, the Vols did receive a spark from wide receiver Sophomore Marquez Callaway, who caught four passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns in the second half. A big part of the Vols comeback was the improved play of Dormandy, who finished 20-37 with 221 yards passing and two touchdowns.

The third quarter was a tough catch in traffic that led to a touchdown from Kelly that tied the game up at 28, eventually sending it to overtime. After two overtime periods, a Yellow Jackets two point conversion attempt ended the game, giving the Vols a wild victory in their opener.

Veterans resource center opens in Hodges Library Lexie King

Contributor UT’s Veterans Resource Center opened its doors earlier this month, gaining a place on the ground floor of Hodges Library across from One Stop Student Services Center.

With an estimated 975 veterans, military spouses and dependents joining UT this fall, the center is meant to be a resource for veterans attempting to transition into college life.

After being recognized for multiple achievements regarding the services provided to veterans, UT will be receiving a certificate for its designation as a Veterans Education Transition Support (VETS) campus during their grand opening of the center on Nov. 17.

In 2014, the Tennessee VETS Act created a program to recognize higher education institutions who strive to make the transition from active military life to college enrollment easier.

An institution who receives the certification prioritizes outreach to veterans and delivering services needed to create a supportive environment where veterans can thrive while obtaining their degree. To qualify for the VETS Campus designation, institutions must

conduct an annual survey to ensure veterans’ needs are met, offer orientation programs for students who are veterans and provide information to faculty and staff about military and veteran accommodations, including combatrelated mental or physical disabilities.

In 2014, UT was designated a Purple Heart University, being the first school in TN to achieve the honor. UT also ranks 31st among all public universities in the U.S. News and World Report’s 2017 Best Colleges for Veterans.

Jayetta Rogers, the center’s coordinator, worked closely with the university to create the new space for veterans.

The plans for the resource center were started approximately five years ago by the Veterans Task Force, Rogers said. After the disbandment of the task force, it became the Veterans Resource Team, which “continued to advocate the need for a designated veterans space on campus.”

When planning for the resource center, Rogers said the most difficult process was finding the right location on UT’s campus.

“The biggest obstacle was finding the perfect location and acquiring the space on campus,” Rogers said. “Steve Smith, dean of libraries, was kind enough to donate the ground floor of Hodges Library to Enrollment

Management for a designated Veterans Center and an expansion of the One Stop Offices.”

The new resource center offers study areas, a conference room and a lounge that includes a microwave and refrigerator.

The center is also working with the Knoxville Veterans Center to provide adjustment counseling for veterans, and a counselor will be at the university once a week. A service dog from Human Animal Bond in Tennessee (HABIT) will also make regular stops at the center.

“Transition to college is stressful for any student, even more so for student veterans,” Rogers said. “Not only are they transitioning to college life but most of them are transitioning to civilian life as well.”

Michelle Rodriguez, senior in kinesiology, has worked as a student assistant with UT’s Student Veteran Affairs for more than a year and has seen the impact the center has on veterans.

“The veterans on campus now have a nice, well put together space for their studies as well as an area to communicate and link up with other veterans on campus,” Rodriguez said. “We now see veterans in and out of our resource center taking advantage of the facility and the programs it has to offer.”

UT receives grant to research veterinary care Kylie Hubbard

Asst. News Editor

UT’s College of Social Work has received a $391,420 grant to study the barriers of national veterinary care for the first time.

Maddie’s Fund, a family foundation, was created in 1994 by Dave Duffield and his wife, Cheryl Duffield, in memory of their dog Maddie. Duffield and his wife have endowed the foundation with more than $300 million, awarding more than $208.9 million in grants.

“Maddie’s Fund is the fulfillment of a promise to an inspirational dog, investing its resources to create a no-kill nation where every dog and cat is guaranteed a healthy home or habitat,” the Maddie’s Fund website wrote.

Studies performed in 2015 showed that an estimated 23 million pets lived in homes that relied on Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), a food stamp program.

Pets in SNAP homes often do not have access to preventive or sick veterinary care, which can lead to abandonment and death, including economic euthanasia.

“Working with the Access to Veterinary Care Coalition (AVCC), the Center for Applied Research and Evaluation, a unit with

the University of Tennessee’s College of Social Work Office of Research and Public Service, will collect and analyze data that will serve as the underpinning of this research study,” Michael Blackwell, AVCC chairman, veterinarian and former dean for the UT College of Veterinary Medicine, said.

The Program for Pet Health Equity (PPHE) in UT’s College of Social Work will use the grant to study their vision — access to veterinary care for all pets, regardless of household income.

“PPHE in collaboration with strategic partners, fosters, promotes and facilitates national collaboration and public policy development to remove barriers to veterinary care for all pets,” Blackwell said.

By December 2018, a seminal report will be published describing the work of the grant. Blackwell said the report will “promote dialogue and facilitate collaborations among key stakeholder groups, drive innovations in the delivery of veterinary services, guide development of laws that ensure access to veterinary care for all pets, establish a universitybased Access to Veterinary Care Program and encourage and mentor future animal welfare leaders.”

“This project is going to develop strategies for improving access to veterinary care, which will lead to improving the health and welfare

of millions of dogs and cats all over the United States,” Shelia D’Arpino, director of Maddie’s Fund research, said in a statement.

The grant is the product of an extensive line of collaborative efforts between the College of Social Work and veterinary research.

“The UT College of Social Work has a long history of collaborative work both with the UT College of Veterinary Medicine and with agencies that serve social service needs related to human and animal interactions and issues,” Blackwell said.

Elizabeth Strand, founding director of Veterinary Social Work (VSW) at UT College of Veterinary Medicine, brought VSW to UT in 2002. The discipline focuses on issues such as animal assisted intervention, animal grief and links between human and animal violence.

UT’s College of Social Work sees the grant as one step closer towards being a leader in the veterinary care research field.

“The UT community should have great pride in knowing that this grant further establishes UT as a leading institution and voice for undeserved families in America, ultimately helping to transform how our nation views and addresses the need to support families with pet that do not have access to veterinary care,” Blackwell said.

Strong Hall opens doors to students and staff Sarah Plemmons Staff Writer

The construction of Strong Hall on Cumberland Avenue has finally been completed with faculty and staff moving in, and classes are in full swing.

While Strong Hall is a new building on campus, it still preserves aspects of the past. The 268,000-square-foot building includes a selected restoration of the original Sophronia Strong Hall of 1926 and a complete restoration of the 19th-Century Queen Ann Style Cowan Cottage.

Departments originally housed on the Hill or Stadium Hall have found a new abode in the building, which houses the biology, chemistry, anthropology and earth and planetary sciences departments.

After walking across the pedestrian bridge over Cumberland Avenue and entering through the building’s foyer, students can be seen milling between classes. A giant circular lecture hall featuring two projection screens and hundreds of seats is off to the right.

Many students were pleased with the building’s design and its affect on student interactions.

“The Strong Lecture Hall is more comfortable. It’s brighter; it’s more open,” Anna Stout, sophomore in anthropology, said. “It’s easier

to see and connect with the people around you than it is in McClung.”

Each floor in the building has a different color, which is representative of a specific department.

By taking the elevator or stairs to the second floor, people can enter the green halls of the biology department, overlooking the main foyer.

There are signs on every door on each floor, and the images on these signs show which department the classroom is for. In the case of the biology department, it is a picture of ferns that the biology students voted on, Randy Brewton, general biology lab coordinator and senior lecturer, said.

On the third floor, whiteboards covered in student work line the blue walls. Brandon Allen, freshmen in kinesiology, said Strong Hall has all the resources and quietness that is necessary for a student work-friendly environment.

“It’s a lot quieter than the other buildings on campus, which makes it good for studying,” Allen said.

The fourth and fifth floors contain the anthropology department within its orange walls. The halls are lined with display cases that will soon be filled with artifacts from McClung Museum, and members of the anthropology department are also pleased with the location change.

“It’s an awesome space, and considering we were in the basement of the stadium where you

Sarah Plemmons / The Daily Beacon could heard the cockroaches, this is wonderful,” campus and the Great Smokey Mountains on a clear day. anthropology professor David Anderson said.

The best part about Strong Hall, students and Students also felt like the building is a way to professors said, is how it provides a space for all highlight the departments it houses.

“UT has one of the best anthropology depart- the departments to co-exist with undergraduments in the country, and it’s nice to house them ates. With the building’s theme of “Earth, Life in a nice new building,” Owen Flomberg, sopho- and Time,” the facility invites all to stay and more in college scholars, said. “It better shows enjoy the building for more than a class.

The official opening of Strong Hall is planned off what UT is good at.”

The rest of the fifth, sixth and seventh floors for Friday, September 8, at 3 p.m. in the Strong house the earth and planetary sciences depart- Hall Atrium, and it is open to everyone in the ment, featuring purple walls and views of the UT community.

UT named one of the best and most interesting schools Gabriela Szymanowska Senior Staff Writer

UT was rated one of the “best and most interesting” schools, along with over 300 other universities and colleges in the United States, Canada and Great Britain by the Fiske Guide to Colleges.

The Fiske Guide 2018 by Edward B. Fiske, former New York Times education editor, features the construction on UT campus, as well as the university’s academics, athletics programs and student life.

John Zomchick, interim provost and senior vice chancellor, said he was proud that UT received interest and recognition, especially on the national level.

“We are proud that our academic programs continue to earn national recognition,” Zomchick said. “We’re also happy to see more interest in our construction projects, which are transforming the look of campus and helping our faculty and students pursue innovative research and education. It’s an affirmation that UT is an excellent place to live, learn and teach.”

The guide highlights how UT has spent over $1.4 billion over the last three years on renovation. Projects including the construction of the second student union and additional landscaped pathways.

Although many students say the construction makes it difficult to navigate campus, Mark Quint, second year graduate student in nuclear engineering, thought the construction is helping make UT a better campus to be.

“Since I’ve been here, I’ve obviously seen nothing but construction on campus,” Quint said. “But I think it says a lot about the school administration and the dedication of the senior leaders here on campus — that they’re willing to put so much time and effort into making UT not only a great place to study but a wonderful place to live.”

The guide mentions how UT has strong academic programs in architecture, communication, engineering, nursing and business. It specifically notes the supply chain management program.

It also recognizes UT’s partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the federal government’s multi-program science and technology pairing, and how a diverse group of students and faculty benefits from this partnership.

“The partnership that the N.E. (Nuclear Engineering) department has with Oak Ridge labs and many other labs around

the country — Oak Ridge obviously just the closest — kind of gives me and many other students like me the opportunity to do more projects,” Quint said.

Another feature in the guide is student life on and off campus. UT offers many clubs and organizations for students through the Center of Student Engagement, including Greek Life, honor societies and religious groups.

“There’s a place for everybody. I just went to the fencing interest meeting last night; I’m in the choir, and I’m involved

“ There’s plenty of student-friendly places on and off campus, so you could go anywhere.

It’s all within a walking distance.”

Kathryn Creveling, Freshman in a lot of things,” Kathryn Creveling, freshman in pre-medicine, said. “There’s plenty of student-friendly places on and off campus, so you could go anywhere. It’s all within a walking distance, anything you want to do.”

Fiske recognizes some of the achievements in UT’s athletics departments, like basketball, baseball, volleyball and tennis, pointing out that UT has had 189 teams and 987 individual SEC titles.

UT’s widespread school spirit during the football season with its sea of orange filling Neyland on Saturday afternoons is also a highlight in the Fiske Guide.

Stephanie Bias, sophomore in international business, said that she likes how UT’s school spirit makes the campus feel like a family.

“I did go to a community college, and they don’t care about colors. They don’t have school spirit, and I don’t think as many schools do as UT,” Bias said. “UT kind of goes overboard with it, but in a good way … I really like it. It makes it feel more like a big family.”

‘Peter and the Starcatcher’ proves to be pensive, punny Brandon Boring Contributor

Peter Pan is known worldwide and has entertained children for decades. However, as a child you may have wondered how Peter Pan magically became the boy who never grows up, or perhaps you wondered what Captain Hook was doing before he began his villainous, pirate life tormenting the inhabitants of Neverland. Luckily, the members of Clarence Brown Theatre have attempted to answer those questions.

‘Peter and the Starcatcher,’ directed by Casey Sams, debuted last week on Aug. 30.

The show has since accumulated a large amount of well-deserved admiration, interesting everyone from age eight to 80.

The play offers itself as a prequel to the beloved Peter Pan stories.

The play manages to simultaneously explore themes of innocence, maturation and homelessness while still making every single audience member giggle with laughter. Several times throughout the performance, Peter, played by Jason Edward Cook, plucked at our heartstrings with moving monologues of loneliness and a tortured past. Before the audience could finish shedding tears, the scene changed,

and we caught ourselves laughing over Black Stache (Charles Pasternak) and his constant inability to conquer Molly (Ellen Nikbakht) and her new friend.

The characters brought the story to life and were a highlight of the play. Many audience members engaged with the personalities of the witty, animated actors. “(Black Stache) made lots of funny puns, and I really like the drama that surrounded his name,” Joanna Huntoon, an audience member said. “Anytime that his name was mentioned, everyone would just start screaming. I thought that he was totally flamboyant and ridiculous. I just think that that’s funny. That’s enjoyable to watch.”

During intermission, people flocked to the lobby of the Clarence Brown Theatre, leaving for some fresh air or seizing the opportunity to talk to each other about how much they enjoyed the performance to that point.

“It’s pretty good. I think the way that they’ve incorporated modern pop culture into the jokes and other things is great,” Kieran Phelps, a Knoxville native and UT student, said. “As well as the subtle ways that actors have performed when not in the spotlight has made it very humorous to just look around and see what’s going on.”

“A

nytime that his (Black Stache) name was mentioned, everyone would just start screaming. I thought that he was totally flamboyant and ridiculous.”

Joanna Huntoon,, audience member

In the second act, action escalated and forces clashed. Connections to the Peter Pan that most people know are made, and loose ends are all cleanly tied up but not without a few tears and laughs along the way.

Overall, ‘Peter and the Starcatcher’ is an absolutely wonderful production. The

• Courtesy of Clarence Brown Theatre cast, crew and all come together to form a delightful piece of art. It’s a family friendly show that still manages to crack jokes at the expense of Queen Victoria, Ayn Rand and Michael Jackson; how could it not be good?

Five ways to give away a day around Knoxville Neeley Moore

Staff Writer It’s easy sometimes to give in little ways without even thinking. Perhaps it’s picking up a piece of trash scattered on Ped Walkway to help keep the campus clean on your way to class. Other times, it’s a little bit bigger.

Spanning from Sept. 2 to Sept. 8, Knoxville citizens are embarking on an initiative to make positive changes in the community.

Knox county goverment officials hope to get people thinking by encouraging individuals to give big for one week. The office member of the Knoxville Mayor and Knox County are joining together for the first community-wide volunteer initiative, “Give a Day Knoxville”.

Community members are encouraging eachother to pitch in and give back to their city and others.

Here are some ways to get involved: 1) Help out a local business Your favorite businesses, from the local café that serves your favorite dish to the animal shelter where you bought your beloved pet, need help cleaning up and clearing out. Numerous businesses across Knoxville

are participating in the community service event, so check out the small businesses that have impacted the city and return the favor!

2) Volunteer cooking or serving a meal Take some time to help prepare a meal for those not able to buy groceries and cook themselves, or serve meals by volunteering at a local shelter for breakfast or dinner. Both KARM and the Salvation army have plenty of ways to participate in serving meals.

Additionally, there are community gardens that provide food to those in need such as Beardsley Farms that could use extra hands.

3) Work with children Various clubs and after school programs welcome volunteers to come and play and teach kids.

Whether you donate to the cause by shopping at a local business or reach out to those affected by the devastating event, “Give a Day Knoxville” is about embracing the volunteer spirit and providing help beyond ourselves.

‘Ingrid Goes West’ satirizes, entertains but scares Alexander Holcomb Editor-in-Chief

I hate how realistic it is.

“Ingrid Goes West” tells the story of Ingrid Thornburn, a social media junkie played by Aubrey Plaza, who after rehab and her mother’s death, begins obsessing over Taylor Sloane, an Instagram celebrity played

by Elizabeth Olson, to the point of moving to California to do … something.

And that’s what makes the film terrifying: Ingrid never gives a reason to her actions.

She admits at one point that she feels like she lost her best friend when her mom died, and it seems that part of her obsession with Taylor is an attempt to cope. But, there are clearly more unsaid reasons.

Upon arriving in California, Ingrid tracks Taylor down through Instagram, and eventually, Plaza’s character finds Taylor’s house, steals her dog and returns it to, quite literally, get her foot in the door. Without giving too much away, I’ll say that it only gets worse from there.

Although the movie was branded as a comedy-drama, the comedy, which was fantastic in the beginning, only faded as the drama increased. Towards the end of the movie, I felt like I had been watching a thriller the whole time. There were a few sprinkles of cringe-worthy humor towards the end that matched well with the theme, but ultimately the humor was left behind with the first part of the film.

As much as I enjoy making fun of Instagram culture, the film takes it too far at times, and a few of the jokes become closer to bad slapstick comedy than the witty and topical humor that makes the movie great.

Even still, it’s one of the more enjoyable movies in theatres now.

I couldn’t get over how naturally the performers fit in the film. I have to admit that I love Plaza more than most of my distant family members, but I think it’s safe to say that she was in a role practically made for her. And, given that she was a producer of the film, it’s likely that the role was. Fans of the actress will be happy to see what she has done.

Oshea Jackson Jr. is known for portray-

ing his father — Ice cube — in “Straight Outta Compton,” and while his character, Dan Pinto, is not always in the spotlight, his contributions to the film should not be overlooked.

Dan is the Batman obsessed landlord and somewhat boyfriend of Ingrid. The character could have been easily written as an awkward fake boyfriend, but instead, he is given a complexity and dorkiness that viewers like myself found relatable.

The genre of the movie, what I’m calling a media thriller, is a new and growing one that “Ingrid Goes West” will help shape. Other recent additions to this film style include “Nerve” and “Unfriended”. Given that social media has been around for about 20 years now, it was only a matter of time until a horror story like this would be based off online encounters. Given the increase of sharing, the film’s concept is eerily stepping into an actuality soon to be seen.

One loud moviegoer that I overheard summed the film up well when she said, “I’m not sure what I just sat through, but I liked it.” In other words, “Ingrid Goes West” is strange and new, but it’s worth the watch.

FOOTBALL

Callaway set as Vols’ starting punt returner Tyler Wombles

Sports Editor During Tennessee’s 55-0 victory against Tennessee Tech in 2016, then-freshman wide receiver Marquez Callaway lined up to return a punt in the final stages of the blowout contest.

Callaway fielded the kick and sprinted down the field, evading tacklers and making his way into the end zone for a 62-yard touchdown that capped off the Vols’ dominant win against the Golden Eagles.

The touchdown was Callaway’s first collegiate score, as well as just one of his two total punt returns on the season.

A season later, Callaway is looking to notch many more moments like that one, as the sophomore was named the starting punt returner for the Vols several days before the season opener against Georgia Tech.

“He has great passion for being the punt returner,” Head coach Butch Jones said on Aug. 30. “He’s out there early every day catching as many punts as he can. He stays after practice … He’s done a remarkable job of working at his craft. Everyday he has great confidence in his skill set back there.

“Marquez has done a really good job of working that craft. We’re excited to see what he can do back there. He’s had game day experience, which I think really helps in this type of game and this type of environment.”

Cameron Sutton manned the position the last three seasons and ranked first in the nation with

an 18.7 yards-per-return average in 2015, garnering All-American honors by the Football Writers Association of America and Sporting News.

The competition to see who would replace Sutton spanned the length of Tennessee’s training camp, with several players competing for the role.

Callaway, along with his fellow returners, certainly put in the work during camp. Callaway said during the summer that he and his teammates worked outside of practice with punter Trevor Daniel to perfect their punt return performances.

“I’ve gotten better doing that,” Callaway said on Aug. 1. “Staying after (practice) with Trevor (Daniel). A lot of us come after, actually. They come on Sundays when nobody’s here, and he always texted us and told us he’s going to be there.

“We all took a lot of pride in that.”

Callaway has just two career punt returns, but gained 114 yards for a 57.0 average on those two returns. He also has just one career reception for 13 yards.

The Georgia native was ranked as a four-star prospect by ESPN, 24/7 Sports, Rivals and Scout while playing at Warner Robins High School. He started on both sides of the ball, and played in the 2016 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Aside from Callaway, three other Vols returned at least one punt in 2016. Sutton was the team’s primary returner, but only recorded six returns for 32 yards due to injury.

Running back Alvin Kamara, who is also

Senior linebacker Colton Jumper speaks with the media on Aug. 31, 2017.

Tyler Wombles / The Daily Beacon gone from the roster after graduating, returned 18 punts for 184 yards. Wide receiver Josh Smith notched six returns for 35 yards himself.

Other potential options behind Callaway at the punt returner spot are Jauan Jennings, Nigel Warrior and Tyler Byrd. Jennings and Warrior are physically strong players that might be hard to tackle, while Byrd’s impressive speed could

give opponents fits in the open field.

But for now, Jones’ plan is to utilize Callaway as the squad’s primary punt returner, at least according to the team’s depth chart.

And after watching Callaway evade Golden Eagles on the way to his long touchdown against Tennessee Tech, that may have been what many fans were hoping to see.

SOCCER

Undefeated and surging: the sky is the limit for Vols Cory Sanning

Copy Editor Soccer has not been UT’s athletic department’s strong point in recent memory.

Dating back to the 2012-13 season, Tennessee has posted 36 wins compared to 31 losses, just five games above .500 over the course of four seasons.

Not the greatest mark but not the worst by any means.

Head coach Brian Pensky has always had a knack for defense, leading his squad to eight shutouts along with a 1.45 goals-against average.

Despite that, Tennessee finished just 11-9-1 last season and once again missed the NCAA Tournament.

Quite frankly, the Vols haven’t made a trip to the big dance since 2012, and that’s a trend that

soccer fans want to see end quickly.

Through six weeks of the 2017 season, the Vols have all but hushed the naysayers and critics.

Tennessee sits at 6-0, its best single-season start in program history. Of the team’s six wins, five have been shutouts and four have come on the road.

Defensively, the Vols have given up no ground following last season. They’ve allowed just one goal over the course of six games and have held their opponents to nine shots or fewer in every contest.

Against ETSU and Charleston, Tennessee rarely let the opposition’s offense cross midfield.

Junior goalkeeper Shae Yanez has been fantastic early on and has started every game thus far, allowing just a .17 goals-against average.

Unlike years past, Tennessee’s offense has been clicking on all cylinders.

The unit has scored 15 goals across six games

and put on a clinic during the home opener, notching four scores in the first half alone.

So far, Tennessee has attempted a total of 105 shots, with 56 coming on the goal line. All of the Vols’ scores have come by way of an assist, and Tennessee has recorded just 15 total saves on the year, as opposed to 41 for the opposition.

Junior midfielder Khadija Shaw has been Tennessee’s unquestioned leader on the offensive end.

A junior college transfer from Eastern Florida State, Shaw has scored six of the Vols’ 15 total goals, including Tennessee’s first hat trick since 2011.

Although she will likely deny a large portion of the credit, Shaw has exceeded all expectations and has been a star for Pensky and staff.

It doesn’t end there, either. This team is no one-man show and, from observing their interactions on and off the field, that feeling is genuine amongst everyone on the roster.

Freshman McKinnley Burkett, who made her NCAA debut against Navy, has recorded three goals.

Senior Ariel Kupritz, who has fought her way through two ACL surgeries, has recorded a goal.

Riley O’Keefe, Meghan Flynn, Anna Bialczak, and Claire Franks add to the count, making it a grand total of seven Vols who have goals under their belts thus far.

Unlike years past, there’s a different aura surrounding this team.

They genuinely appear to enjoy being around each other, and share countless laughs and smiles during postgame stretches and on the bench.

All that emotion has translated to success on the field, and as the Vols march towards what could be the greatest season in program history, the opportunities are endless.

Will this last? Only time will tell.
