Pizza: Knoxville’s hidden gem Madison Bowling Contributor

Volume 132 Issue 41
It’s no secret that Knoxville is best known for its big orange football culture and the famous Sunsphere that has made its own debut on multiple television shows. However, the true gem of Knoxville can be found if you just take a look at the sauce. Forget New York or Chicago, Knoxville is the hot spot for delicious, authentic and innovative pizza. In fact, in a recent online article published by Smart Asset, Knoxville was named the third best city for pizza lovers. In determining this ranking, the website considered factors such as the number of pizzerias per resident and average rating of pizza restaurants in the city. Instead of simply taking their word for it, I
interviewed three local pizzerias in Knoxville to find out exactly how and why Knoxville received such a high ranking. First up was Hard Knox Pizzeria, a locally owned, authentic restaurant that only bakes its pizzas in a wood-fired oven. “Honestly, for us, it’s the culture. We make authentic Neapolitan pizza and use old methods,” Alex Coons, manager, said when asked about the rating. Even though Hard Knox uses age-old Italian methods to make their pizza, they aren’t opposed to mixing it up in terms of flavors. One of their most popular seasonal pies is made with a strawberry sriracha base and topped with fresh mozzarella, cage free chicken, Applewood smoked bacon, red onion, cilantro and fresh strawberries. This combination of innovation and tradition is likely why it has

been voted “Best of Knoxville” by the Knoxville News Sentinel for two years in a row, and it is definitely a part of why Knoxville received such a high rating from Smart Asset. Next up, Sergeant Pepperoni’s: a highly regarded pizzeria with two locations in Knoxville that specialize in deep dish pizza. Derek Teogard, one of the three owners of the restaurant, was happy to share what he believes makes Knoxville’s pizza so special. “I think what attributed to that rating is that there are lots of styles of pizza in Knoxville,” Teogard said. “Hard Knox does wood fire, we’re deep dish here. There’s just a lot of ‘mom and pop’ pizzerias in the city, and I think it’s that local atmosphere that people seem to really enjoy.” See KNOXVILLE PIZZA on Page 7A

Baker Center to host economist, lecture on environmental politics, careers Annie Tieu
Contributor The Baker Center continues their lecture series, hosting two upcoming lectures focused on politics and global sustainability. On Monday, Oct. 24, the Baker Center will host Eban Goodstein, director of the Bard Center for Environmental Policy (Bard CEP) at Bard College, which is a private, liberal arts college in Annandaleon-Hudson, New York. The first lecture titled, “Republicans, Democrats and Sustainability: Recovering Bipartisan Environmental Politics,” will be held from 1-2:30 p.m. and focus on “staying green” in politics. Later, Goodstein will present “How to Get a Job Saving the Planet: Sustainability Leadership Careers in Policy, Business and NGOs” from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Both
lectures will be held in the Toyota Auditorium. Goodstein holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Michigan. He is known for directing two national educational initiatives on global warming: C2C and The National Climate Seminar. He has also coordinated climate education events at over 2,500 colleges, universities, high schools and other institutions across the country. Goodstein reached out to UT and other colleges as a part of the politics and environmental education project at the Bard CEP. The first talk is a nonpartisan presentation on environmental politics and the second will be about sustainability careers. “We were trying to theme a lot of our events around the election, so people would not only register to vote but learn about the issues and make an informed
decision,” Nissa Dahlin-Brown, associate director at the Baker Center, said. Charles Sims, fellow faculty at the Baker Center and UT assistant professor of economics, was partly responsible for bringing Goodstein’s lecture to the Baker Center’s attention. Sims hopes student will gain “better perspective of how the different parties have shaped environmental policy.” He also hopes the lecture will inform students on what the different political parties have done in the past and what they hope to achieve in the future. “I think anyone interested in environmental questions will certainly be interested (in the lecture),” Sims said. “But I think it will also be interesting for people interested in political issues, in general, not necessarily in environmental issues.” More information on the lecture series is available on the Baker Center’s website at http://bakercenter.utk.edu/events/.
CHEW wraps up national substance abuse prevention month Tom Cruise
News Editor As October begins to wind down, optimism still holds strong from events dedicated to offer relief, education and recovery of substance abuse at UT. The end of October signals the end of the Center for Health and Wellness’ (CHEW) annual Substance Abuse Prevention Month. CHEW hosted a number of events allowing students to engage in various activities to educate themselves on the dangers of alcohol and other addictive drugs. In 2010, President Obama declared October the National Substance Abuse Prevention Month. UT, CHEW and Wellness Coordinator Rebecca Juarez took full advantage of the opportunity. “When I joined the center in April of 2015, we were already talking about prevention efforts and events,” Juarez said. “This year was our ‘kick-off’ event.” Juarez explained that the purpose of these events were to allow the UT community to “understand substance use and misuse and educate them on resources.” At the kick-off event, students were able to participate in engagement activities including “lawn Jenga” in which students
would answer questions about alcohol and drugs and then proceed in the game of Jenga. Although data has not been completed yet, Juarez estimated that close to 500 students participated in the kick-off day events. Following the kick-off, CHEW hosted the inaugural “Safe Fall Break” event. This event allowed students who chose to stay on campus during break to have the opportunity to engage in outdoor activities and conversations focused on consent and substance use. “We wanted to provide them with resources on what they could do in that time off,” Juarez said. The last major event of the month was the Recovery Fair, which shared the same week as “National Collegiate Alcohol Recovery Week,” focused around recovery from alcohol abuse. “We purposely hosted the recovery fair that week, not because it’s specifically related to alcohol, but because it is a recovery week,” Juarez said. During recovery week, campus and community partners provided information to UT about recovery support and treatment services available on campus and throughout Knoxville. Students were able to interact with these community partners to learn more about recovery and received
t-shirts in exchange. One major partner with CHEW and Substance Abuse Prevention Month is the Rock Top Recovery Group. President Shaun McComas participated in the planning committee for all of the events and organized a table at the recovery fair to continue the engagement. “We wanted to let students know that we are on campus and that there is support available,” McComas said. “We wanted students to be able to open up in a conversation that is often a taboo subject.” From events such as these, Rocky Top Recovery Group has continued to grow, building new memberships this semester and organizing leadership roles to continue the success. Additionally, Rocky Top Recovery Group will be hosting a “sober tail-gate” on Nov. 12 during the home football game against Kentucky. As October ends, Juarez and CHEW look to continue this month for years to come. Although all of the data has not been tallied, Juarez has received positive feedback from students at the events. “It seems like we have given students an opportunity to learn about things they may have not known before,” Juarez said. “And maybe, in the future, they will be able to use those learned resources to help another.”

SWIMMING
McHugh brings strong, silent leadership to AquaVols Trenton Duffer
Sports Editor When watching Olympic swimmers Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps compete in events, take a good look at their goggles. Both swimmers wear their goggles on the inside of their swim caps. Tennessee swimming coach Matt Kredich said that this is usually done to as a matter of security. “I’ve never felt like there’s a need to keep them on the inside of the cap,” Kredich said. “There may be a little more drag if they’re kept on the outside. Every ridge or bump on the cap creates a little more drag, especially at the highest speeds.” But Sam McHugh doesn’t follow that code. He wears his goggles on the outside of his cap — a small difference to some but a bit of a ritual for the junior swimmer. “People find it really weird,” McHugh said. “I started doing that when I was in high school, and I just always have kind
of done it.” Whether he wears his goggles on the inside or the outside of his swim cap, it’s hard to deny the prowess that McHugh has brought to the Vols swimming team. McHugh swims in the 400 individual medley (IM) and 200 butterfly categories, which he says are considered by many swimmers to be the toughest events. Sprint freestyles, though, are the “easier” events. “Basically, the longer the event, the harder it is,” McHugh said. “I like to swim IM more than I like to swim other strokes because I don’t necessarily have a weak stroke. To swim in the IM, you have to be good at all four strokes, and if anyone else has a weakness and you’re competing against them, you can expose it.” Since joining the Vols, McHugh has earned three All-American certificates and a silver medal in the 200yard butterfly category at the 2015 SEC Championships. Those accomplishments are nothing to be scoffed at — swimmers have to be in peak physical condition if they wish to have success.
Sam McHugh practices for his upcoming meet beginning on Friday, Oct. 21, 2016. Julia Fabricio • The Daily Beacon “You have to not only work hard, but there’s a large technical aspect of the sport,” McHugh said. “You have to be in really good physical shape. There’s a lot
of cardio, but there’s that skill aspect to it that makes it tough.” See SWIMMING on Page 5A

‘They’re not all like that’ When talking about immigration, invariably the topic of Muslim Immigration presents itself. There are Americans that believe that though Muslims have murdered many Americans, the Muslims committing the murders are not representative of Muslims as a whole. “Don’t punish all Muslims for the sins of a few”. Experts estimate that between 15-25% of Muslims are prone to terrorism- ie. the ones that stab, disfigure, maim, behead, murder and massacre Non-Muslims tomake Islam the only system of governance in a country. During World War II most Germans were peaceful, however theextremely violent Nazi’s drove the agenda and murdered 60M people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. Also in World War II the majority of Japanese were peaceful yet theJapanese murdered 12M people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. On Sept. 11, 2011 the US had 2.3 million Muslims and it took 19 Muslim Terrorists to murder about 3k Americans.
The peaceful majority were irrelevant. The peaceful majority Muslims are not benign though. They provide aid and comfort to the Muslim Terrorists. I wouldn’t advise you tosketch a picture of a person and label it Mohammad and put it in your front yard when you have the “peaceful majority” walking in your neighborhood. To do so may cause your beheading when a Muslim Terrorist happens to drop by your house. The peaceful majority informthe Muslim terrorists and will help the terrorist(s) to escape. Ever hear of Muslims turning in one of their own due to suspicions of being a terrorist? All Muslims have the same goal, make everyone Muslim or dead. Their Quran instructs them on this goal. Terrorist Muslims pursue this goal more intensely than the peaceful majority. Anyone agreeing to allow Muslims into the USA and/or not agreeing todeport all Muslims is committing Treason.

Thank you to the students who stood up In the early hours of October 15th, an unpleasant, yet sadly unsurprising incident occurred- the UT Pride Center’s flags were once again vandalized.The current anti-LGBT+ political and cultural climate in the state and on our own campus has lately encouraged people to allow their antisocial natures get the better of them. However, a pleasantly surprising turn of events were delivered by Johnathan Thomas and Mallory Gooden. These two students didn’t “stand by” but instead “stood up” when they witnessed the vandalism. Thomas and Gooden, both members of the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, confrontedthe vandalizers and followed up with a report to the UTPD. Mr. Thomas and Ms. Gooden, I want to thank you for your compassion and civic responsibility, values historically expected of neighbors but increasingly hard to find these days. The cur-
rent public debate has generally framed religious individuals as being against LGBT+ citizens, creating an “us” vs “them” narrative. Your actions belie this narrative, and show us that individuals still do things “just” because they’re the right things to do. Maybe Thomas and Gooden have personal experience with the LGBT+ community, and knew how this would affect Pride Center patrons; or maybe they just imagined how they would feel if their own group’s banners were destroyed. Whatever their intentions, their behaviors are commendable, and how we should all aspire to act if called upon to do so. Your acts of allyship are bright spots in otherwise dark days. Bless the two of you. Leticia Y. Flores, PhD Associate Professor, Department of Psychology Director, UT Psychological Clinic

TIPS FOR LIVING WITH ROOMMATES Who you live with can make or break your college experience. Your roommates now could be some of your best friends for life or they could become the protagonist of your next horror novel. Hopefully, you’ll all get along. Either way, there are some important things to consider before you sign a lease together. Worst comes to worst, there are plenty of one bedroom apartments for rent. -Jenna Butz, Special Projects Editor
CLEANLINESS
When it comes to cleaning up, make sure you’re all in sync. Will two of you always be cleaning up after the other two, or are you the one who never does their dishes? Set ground rules and maybe even make a chore chart for the fridge if you don’t think you guys can work it out otherwise. But, if you can’t take dishes sitting in the sink ever, and your roommate lets them pile up for a few days or vice versa, that can quickly cause some strife if you aren’t careful.
PETS Would you rather be surrounded by puppies all the time or does the idea of scooping poop make you gag? Before moving in together, if your apartment allows pets, check and see if your roommate has any plans to get a kitten anytime soon. Talk about the boundaries, whether you’re both going to take care of this pet or if you don’t want to take any responsibility. Also, if your roommate already has a pet, don’t be afraid to set boundaries then too. You’re just trying to make it through college.
PARTIES Chances are that your apartment is pretty small. We’re in college; we can’t afford spacious, open layouts. Regardless though, college students love to party, and you may or may not want to host some of your own. If you or your roommate ever wants to have a party, make it clear who’s cleaning up and who you can or cannot invite. It doesn’t matter if you think that guy your roommate went on a date with once is funny, you probably shouldn’t invite them without the okay from your roomie. Also, make sure that your roommate doesn’t have to be up for work at 6 a.m. the next morning. Be courteous, especially when it comes to sleep.
NETFLIX On your living room TV, whose Netflix/Hulu/HBO Go/Amazon Prime is going to be connected? Pick whichever one isn’t worried about their preferences being skewed toward one roommate or the other, or potentially one of you who isn’t using your parents’ account so you guys can’t be shut down because too many people are watching at once. Also, this is easily the best way to bond as roommates. Rewatch “American Horror Story” together? Check.

COMMUTING COMES WITH A VARITY OF UPS AND DOWNS One of the major decisions when going to college is whether or not you will commute or live within walking distance. This can make or break social life, academic success and the amount of sleep you get at the end (or beginning) of the day. Not going to lie though, some of the pros of commuting can be pretty fantastic. -Rebecca Randolph, Copy Editor
PRO
The ability to just get off campus is phenomenal. When you’re a commuter, there’s no parking tetris to fit into the few non-commuter garages during events. Your social life also is no longer limited to bumming a ride from a friend because you’re stuck on campus. Instead, if you want to pack up and go to a festival for a weekend, you can.
CON
While new garages are being built as fast as UT can throw them up, there’s still a staggering lack of parking spots during peak class times. Trying to find a spot after 9 a.m. on any given day is a madhouse. At least if you’re on foot you don’t have to worry about coming out of class and finding your car scratched up or your side mirror dangling by a thread.
PRO
Cars offer extended options for food that is no longer limited to the places your aching feet can take you. When you’re halfway through the semester and eating the same five meals from the same three options on campus it can get pretty lackluster. You’re also less likely to earn the dreaded freshmen 15 because you’re walking back and forth to your car and the garages (which is a perk, I promise).
CON
UTPD isn’t joking around when they say you need to buy a parking pass, but if you dare to park in the wrong place you’ll have a nice slip of paper stuck in your windshield when you get back. Being a commuter means risking it if you don’t abide by the rules of the campus and stay in your lot.
PRO
The ultimate pro of being a commuter is freedom. The alone time offered by the chance to leave and go somewhere else for a while is great for letting your brain recoup from the constant learning environment the university offers. One hour trying to study in a crowded library is a lot different than a quiet hour in your own apartment or house with your pet by your side.
CON
No longer can you sleep in until ten minutes before your class starts and saunter across campus, still making it on time. Commuting means the task of setting an alarm, getting up, getting ready and then sitting in traffic. Between the traffic of getting to the campus and the traffic on campus (especially around construction areas), sleep can be cut short.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN PICKING AN APARTMENT
5B
Bradi Musil, Editor-in-Chief
Picking your first apartment is one of the truly terrifying adult decisions you have to make in college. The consequences can be severe, and if you skim over even the tiniest details in your lease, you could come home one day to find a 40-yearold mother and her 10-year-old daughter moved in to your living room, sleeping in tents, with a questionable backstory, an excess of seaweed soup and no money to help pay for utilities. Seriously, that happened, and it’s why you should ask your landlord every question you can possibly think of before agreeing to live somewhere. So, to aid you in your hunt or an apartment, here’s a few things to consider when choosing a place to live:
Subleasing Policy Subleasing happens when a roommate who you’ve agreed to live with decides to exit the apartment early, and they allow someone else to move into their room and pay the remaining rent fees until the lease is up. Some apartments don’t allow this at all, some allow it with an increased rent fee, some allow your roommate to choose who moves in next and others do the choosing for you. Get familiar with this policy before you move in so at least there are no surprises after you’ve lived somewhere for a year and suddenly find your apartment invaded by strangers.
Pet Policies Whether you’re wanting to get a pet or not, it’s good to know where your leasing office stands on pets in general. Do they only allow certain breeds? Can you be kicked out of your apartment if a friend so much as brings their dog by? Is the apartment complex going to have your dog’s DNA tested so they can fine you if you don’t pick up his or her poop? These are all things that happen, and even if you’re not planning on getting a hedgehog or iguana at any point in your life, this is college. Bad and irrational decisions are made. So, at least understand the consequences.
Amenities
On a lighter note, one of the best things about moving into an apartment is all the added amenities. Apartment complexes on college campuses get competitive when providing certain perks so they can get college students’ attention. Be sure to shop around before deciding on a place to see which complexes have a pool, gym, free laundry, tanning bed, whatever. You’re already going to be paying way too much money for a college apartment; there should be some kind of silver lining.
Parking I’ve signed leases at two different apartment complexes in Knoxville, and at neither place did I ask about parking. But, parking always turns into one of the biggest inconveniences or biggest perks. Some buildings won’t monitor parking at all, so you’re free to let friends leave their cars there or park your car in a spot, ditch it for 10 days over spring break and not be worried that it’s going to get towed. Other places may ensure you have a spot but don’t provide visitor parking at all, and others might not include any kind of parking accommodations. Whether you’re cool with ditching your car on the side of the street in Fort Sanders or you want ten spots open per tenant, you don’t want to show up on move-in day with an SUV and a U-haul and have no idea what to do with them.

3
HOW MUCH IS RENT, AND WHEN IS IT DUE?
2
THE COST OF THE RENT WILL PROBABLY DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT YOU'LL MOVE IN, SO THIS MIGHT BE THE FIRST QUESTION YOU ASK. AFTER YOU'VE ESTABLISHED YOU CAN AFFORD YOUR NEW DIGS, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR DATES SO YOU DON'T GET CHARGED WITH LATE FEES.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS THERE IF THINGS START BURNING DOWN, BUT WHAT IF THE ROOF CAVES IN? YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO CONTACT YOUR LANDLORD NO MATTER WHAT.
9
WHERE DOES THE TRASH GO?
YOU’RE A RELATIVELY CLEAN COLLEGE STUDENT, AND YOU TAKE OUT YOUR TRASH REGULARLY. MAKE SURE YOU’RE TAKING IT TO THE RIGHT PLACE SO IT WILL BE REMOVED. SOME PLACES EVEN OFFER RECYCLING, SO MAKE SURE YOU ASK. Graphic Jenna Brotz • The Daily Beacon

SWIMMING continued from Page 3A
And McHugh’s hard work has paid off. Kredich has noticed the non-spoken leadership that his junior swimmer has garnered. Kredich said that McHugh takes pride in his own work ethic, which helps him last longer against other swimmers, and that McHugh has earned more confidence since his freshman year. “He’s really expanded his idea of what he can do well so now he truly has four great strokes,� Kredich said. “He’s really just grown in his belief in what he can do.� But before McHugh could accomplish all of these events, he had to get a one-up on his friend when he was only seven. McHugh’s swimming career started as more of a jealousy stunt than it was a love of the sport. At the age of seven, McHugh was spending the night with one of his friends at the time. The youngsters were having a great time when his friend’s mother invited a young McHugh to join the swim team. That didn’t interest the seven-year-old McHugh at the time. At least it didn’t until his friend’s mother brought out a ribbon that his friend had won. It was game on from that point, according to McHugh. “When I saw that ribbon, I remember I thought ‘Oh wow, I really want one of those,’� he said. “I started swimming the next summer and have stuck with it ever since.� The junior from Chattanooga, Tennessee, swam for Baylor High School which, for anyone who has lived near the Chattanooga area would know, meant a strict rivalry with McCallie High School. That rivalry included a Spirit Week where students showed their school support and
teachers didn’t give out homework, making the rivalry mean just a little bit more. “There’s Baylor-McCallie everything now,� McHugh said. “It’s really, really intense.� The difference between swimming scores in high school and college is a distinct one. In college swimming, more points are given to swimmers who finish first, second and third place. However, in high school, first place would be rewarded one more point than second place, making it harder for one team to win by a large score. In either his junior or senior year, McHugh said that Baylor was cheated out of a win over McCallie despite beating them in almost every event. McHugh said that McCallie simply had more swimmers, so while Baylor was getting first in every category, the large amount of McCallie swimmers were getting second and third, which racked in more points. Despite the disappointing loss, McHugh was recruited highly beginning his junior year. His father attended UT, making Knoxville a prime target for the talented swimmer. McHugh said that having his dad attend the university helped persuade him to come. “My dad played high school for Baylor, so he’s grown up watching football (and) playing football,� McHugh said. “We would come to (Tennessee) games when I was little, and I grew up a big Tennessee football fan. So it definitely had a big influence.� After two unofficial visits and one official visit to UT, McHugh had a few deciding factors on his side. With his dad being a graduate and Kredich being friends with his coach at Baylor, all signs pointed to McHugh becoming a Vol. “I just really liked the chemistry of the team here, how close they were, how good

You have to not only work hard, but there’s a large technical aspect of the sport.� Sam McHugh, AquaVol swimmer
of friends they were,� McHugh said. “It’s like one big family.� One of the friends that McHugh has made since he’s been here is his roommate Peter John Stevens. Stevens, a junior from Medvode, Slovenia, said that the duo are good friends now — despite McHugh’s attempts at making Stevens a “country boy.� “He tried to get me to be him pretty much,� Stevens said. “He got me doing stuff I would never do. He would take me places I would never go. He introduced me to country stuff for sure.� McHugh’s friendship shown towards
Stevens and other members of the team is a testament to his leadership. For three years, McHugh has swum with a passion that started with just wanting a ribbon. Now, McHugh says he wants to “leave a mark� on the university. And according to Kredich, it shouldn’t be hard for him to accomplish that. “This year, he’s started to take a lot more ownership over the team itself, and a big responsibility he feels is that freshmen are going to understand the culture and that they have a big role to play right away,� Kredich said. “By not talking, he’s listening a lot.�

KNOXVILLE PIZZA continued from Page 1 Teogard came here just for that atmosphere; he and his two friends packed their bags and travelled from Michigan to Knoxville with the intentions of bringing Sergeant Pepperoni’s to life. Along with them, they brought their Michigan style of pizza making: traditional and delicious pizza with a deep dish twist. Sergeant Pepperoni’s high ratings and commitment to pizza perfection no doubt adds depth to Knoxville’s pizza loving culture. The last stop was Tomato Head, a very popular local pizzeria also with two locations in Knoxville. Here, I was able to speak with waitress Anna Hubler about what exactly makes their restaurant’s pizza so special. “I think quality is what sets us apart,” Hubler said. “We make our dough in house, the sauce is house made too, and we use local vegetables — all very fresh ingredients. We put a lot of care into our food, we come up with a lot of combinations. There’s a lot of engineering that comes into making that kind of food.” Another aspect that makes The Tomato Head so popular is its large pizza topping variety, including vegan and vegetarian options such as tofu and vegan cheese. This sets it apart from Hard Knox and Sergeant Pepperoni’s and provides another unique dimension to pizza in
Sergeant Pepperoni’s Pizzeria is located on 4618 Kingston Pike. Madison Bowling • The Daily Beacon Knoxville. There is no doubt that Hard Knox Pizzeria, Sergeant Pepperoni’s, The Tomato Head and all of Knoxville’s local pizzerias have each contributed to helping Knoxville gain its newfound reputation as the third best city for pizza lovers. Whether its their use of authentic methods, local flair or fresh ingredients, Knoxville pizzerias provide a slice that other cities simply cannot replicate. New York and Chicago pizzerias: read it and weep.

WOMEN’S TENNIS
Repic leads Vols tennis as one of few upperclassmen Taylor Crombie Contributor
As a senior on a team dominated by underclassmen, Eve Repic has had to become a leader. Her doubles partner, sophomore Sadie Hammond, sees Repic as more than just a leader on the court, though. “Eve is like (my) older sister,” Hammond said. “She’s always so calm in situations. If there’s anything wrong, I can always go to Eve.” Having that kind of presence on the team is helpful to both the younger players and the coaches. First year assistant coach Alison Ojeda stressed the importance of having veteran leadership such as seniors Repic and Brittany Lindl on such a young team. “You need that type of leadership, Brittany and Eve have done a fantastic job from that stand point,” Ojeda said. “Every day in practice, they lead by example. Every day off the court, they lead by example.”
Beginning their second year as doubles partners, both Repic and Hammond feel like they have better chemistry than they did last season. “I definitely feel like we’re more comfortable with each other just from having a lot of match experience from last year,” Repic said. Repic and Hammond were selected to qualify for the 2016 Riveria/ITA Women’s All-American Championships that began on Oct. 1 in Pacific Palisades, California. The duo defeated No. 59 Mickey Hsu and Kristen Poei of Cal State Northridge 8-3 in the first round of qualifying but fell to Elena Cerezo-Codina and Caroline Daxhelet of Virginia Tech 8-4 in the second round. In singles, Repic fell in straight sets to Valerie Salazar of Syracuse 6-4, 7-5 and No. 67 Sandy Niehaus of Ohio State 6-2, 7-5. While they did not advance to the next round, Repic felt fortunate to be able to have the experience and compete at such a high level. “It was really exciting for both of us
“

… just being able to compete against the elite,” Repic said. Repic will be joining Hammond and Brittany Lindl at the ITA Ohio Valley Regional Championships that start on Thursday, Oct. 20 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. While they will face more of the top college women’s tennis players, Repic is focused on gaining more experience and advancing to the next round that will take place in New York in early November.
Alison Ojeda, First year assistant coach
As a senior, Repic’s personal goals for the season are pretty simple. She wants to play aggressively, have fun and enjoy her last season in Tennessee orange. That doesn’t mean she isn’t thinking about earning titles along the way, though. “I think Sadie and I would love to go to NCAAs together and obviously make it as a team as well,” Repic said. “Also to use my individual stuff as much as I can to help the team, that’s always a goal for me.”
