No. 21 Tennessee Continues Marathon Road Trip at Cathedral City Classic This year’s visit to Cathedral City marks the Big Orange’s sixth since venturing out to play in the event for the first time during the 2004 campaign. It’s also the fifth time UT has been invited to participate in the Cathedral City Classic. The Lady Vols own a 20-3 record at the Big League Dreams facility, a 15-3 mark in the Classic and have won their last 15 games at the site. The Orange & White posted a 5-0 record in the Cathedral City Kick-off to christen the 2008 campaign. Quoth the Raven...”Always on Base” Freshman lead-off hitter Raven Chavanne just posted one of the finest weekends in not just Lady Vol softball history but in all of Division I softball history at the Troy Cox Classic in Las Cruces, N.M. The Thousand Oaks, Calif., native went 17-of-20 at the plate for an .850 batting average, posted a double, two triples, a grand slam (her first collegiate HR) and tied for the team lead with 10 RBIs. She also singled to lead-off all five contests, posted three perfect 4-for-4 games and knocked in a career-high six RBIs in the 21-2 (5 inn.) victory over Weber State. Counting a walk she drew in the seventh inning versus #10 Oklahoma on Feb. 14th, CHAVANNE HAS NOW REACHED BASE SAFELY VIA HIT, WALK, ERROR OR FIELDER’S CHOICE IN A STAGGERING 22 STRAIGHT PLATE APPEARANCES. She also enters play against Pacific at the Cathedral City Classic with a STREAK OF EIGHT CONSECUTIVE BASE HITS. For her efforts in the opening four contests at the Troy Cox Classic, Chavanne was chosen as the Southeastern Conference’s Player of the Week (2/22). A Powerful Statement... During its five-game tournament title run at the Troy Cox Classic in Las Cruces, N.M., the Lady Vols made quite a statement by outscoring its five opponents by a 66-15 margin, hitting .467 as a team, posting 11 doubles, four triples and seven home runs, swiping 12 bases and registering double-digit runs in each contest. Individually, Raven Chavanne hit .850 with 10 RBIs, freshman Kat Dotson posted a .600 average with two doubles, two triples and 10 RBIs, senior Tiffany Huff recorded a .583 mark with two doubles, a HR and seven RBIs and sophomore Ashley Andrews blasted two homers as part of a .455 weekend with nine RBIs. In the circle, sophomore Cat Hosfield was 3-0 with 20 K’s in 16 innings, while freshman Ivy Renfroe went 2-0 while limiting opponents to a .235 average. On the Road Again... Maybe Willie Nelson’s famous song should become Tennessee’s new theme as the Lady Vols are currently on a marathon 10-day trip through Las Cruces, New Mexico, and Cathedral City, Calif. Now that the squad’s stay in done in N.M. at the Troy Cox Classic, UT ventures on to the prestigious Cathedral City Classic to face Pacific, Syracuse and nationally-ranked teams Stanford and Ohio State (Feb. 25-27). The last time Tennessee left on a trip of this length was also 10

days, stretching from Feb. 15-24, 2007. The Orange & White have good memories from that trip, sweeping through the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic in Las Vegas, Nev., a side visit for a single contest against Cal State Fullerton and the Palm Springs Classic with a perfect 11-0 record. So far on this jaunt UT is 5-0 with a tournament championship. Checking the Records Versus Opponents Entering this weekend’s action at the Cathedral City Classic in Cathedral City, Calif., Tennessee holds a 1-2 record against Pacific (0-5, 1-7 losses on 2/25/01; 14-0 in 5 inn. win on 2/25/05), a 2-3 mark versus Stanford (1-4, 0-8 in 5 inn. losses on 3/24/97; 0-9 in 5 inn. loss on 2/18/00; 2-0, 6-0 wins on 5/27-28/05) and a 1-1 record against Syracuse (0-3 loss on 2/22/03; 4-2 win on 2/23/03). UT will face Ohio State for the first time in program history. An Unprecedented Starting Debut Tennessee freshman right hander Ivy Renfroe made her initial start for the Orange & White a memorable one by allowing just four hits over 4.0 innings of work in a 4-2 victory over #10 Oklahoma on Valentine’s Day at the NTC Division I Elite Invitational in Clermont. Fla. With the victory the Humboldt, Tenn., native became the ninth Lady Vol pitcher to win her starting debut, but more importantly, became the first UT pitcher to beat a ranked team during her initial start at Rocky Top. Not even four-time All-American Monica Abbott can claim that fact. Dominant in February Since Weeklys Arrival Since the Weeklys arrived in 2002 to take over the Tennessee program, the team has seen incredible success during the opening month of the season. In February, the Big Orange boast a record of 127-20-1 since starting 2002 and are a staggering 80-6 since the beginning of 2005. Tennessee won 33 straight February contests in a streak that stretched from the opening of the 2006 campaign through part of 2008 until a 4-1 loss to USF on Feb. 17, 2008. The only February defeats since ‘05 are to No. 1 California (2005), Notre Dame (2005), USF (2008), No. 21 and eventual ‘09 national champ Washington (2009), No. 6 UCLA (2010) and UCF (2010). A Fixture in the Rankings The Lady Vols are making a habit of finding themselves in the rankings according to the USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) poll. Tennessee has now been ranked in each of the last 92 polls dating back to the preseason release of the 2004 season. A big opening weekend in ‘04 boosted UT from unranked into the Top 25 at No. 19 and the squad hasn’t left since. No Longer Streaking in Season Openers Tennessee is now 8-7 all-time in season openers and 6-3 under co-head coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly after seeing its six lid-lifter winning streak snapped on Feb. 13, 2010 in a loss to #6 UCLA in Clermont, Fla. The last previous season-opening loss had come back in 2003 versus San Jose State as UT dropped a 3-1 decision.

2010 TENNESSEE LADY VOL SOFTBALL Extra Softball is No Trouble for the Lady Vols Tennessee entered the 2010 campaign on an impressive streak. The Lady Vols have now won their last six extra-inning contests dating back to the beginning of the ‘09 season. Included in that skein from 2009 were an 11-inning victory over Auburn (2-1), a 10-inning win against BYU (4-0) and eight-inning triumphs over UCF (1-0), No. 25 Kansas (4-2), Cal Poly (8-6) and No. 6 Oklahoma (6-5). A Touch of CLASS! Lady Vol senior catcher/first baseman Tiffany Huff has been chosen as one of 30 NCAA Division I softball candidates for the fourth-annual Lowe’s Senior CLASS award. The honor is presented to a senior softball player who best demonstrates her ability on the field, in the community and in the classroom. The Saugus, Calif., native owns a 3.78 grade-point average in special education and was honored in 2009 as a second-team ESPN the Magazine Academic AllAmerican. We Love the Spotlight! The Tennessee Lady Vols are currently set to be featured on television seven times during the 2009 campaign. Four of UT’s televised contests will take place within the friendly confines of Lee Softball Stadium in Knoxville. The Big Orange will make its television debut on March 20th in a Saturday home doubleheader against No. 7 Georgia as CSS will broadcast both match-ups live. The Orange & White’s next TV date will come at Auburn where Sunday’s series finale (April 11) will be shown via SportSouth. During the final two weekends of the regular season Tennessee might as well call ESPN home. The second game of UT’s three-contest set against No. 2 Alabama on May 1 will be broadcast live at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN, while the series finale on May 2 will be distributed via ESPNU at 4 p.m. ET. Finally, the Lady Vols will play host to No. 13 LSU over May 8-9 with the series opener set for a noon Saturday start time on ESPN. The final game of the set with the Bayou Bengals will be contested on May 9, at 2 p.m. on ESPNU. Since heading out to Oklahoma City, Okla., for its first trip to the Women’s College World Series in 2005, the Tennessee Lady Vol softball team has been featured on television a staggering 45 times. An amazing 29 of those 45 have been on the ESPN family of networks. Huff and Grieve Haul Preseason Honors The annual Watch List for the USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year award has been announced and the Lady Vols are again well represented among the 50 players currently being considered for the honor. Senior catcher/first baseman Tiffany Huff and junior center fielder Kelly Grieve made the cut, marking the fourth time in the past five seasons that Tennessee has had at least two players chosen to the national watch list. For the third consecutive season Huff has been included, making it seven consecutive years at least one Lady Vol has been chosen to the prestigious watch list. The Saugus, Calif., native and Top 25 finalist last season enters the new campaign fresh off a year in which she set single-season career highs for batting average (.399 on 63-of-158), runs scored (48), hits (63), home runs (eight), RBIs (67), total bases (102), slugging (.646) and on-base percentage (.522) and stolen bases (11), while adding 13 doubles, a triple and 43 walks. Her 67 total RBIs rated her fourth in the SEC and a 1.14 RBI-per-game average placed her fifth in NCAA Division I in that category. A 2009 second-team Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-American, NFCA All-Southeast Region and second-team ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American, Huff started all 59 games for the Big Orange at either first base or behind the plate. Huff currently resides in the top eight in Lady Vol history in career doubles (42), home runs (17), RBIs (175), on-base (.536) and slugging percentage (.460). A Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region selection as a sophomore in 2009, Grieve wreaked havoc on the opposition all season from her position at the top of the Tennessee batting order. The slap-hitting Asheville, N.C., native posted a .393 batting average on 79-of-201 hitting at the plate, mostly from the lead-off spot, with four doubles, four triples and 23 RBIs. After breaking the UT freshman single-season stolen base record in 2008, Grieve also added the Lady Vol sophomore single-season theft mark in 2009 with 39 steals in 42 attempts to break the record held by the former All-American Lindsay Schutzler (2005). She ranked among the SEC’s top five in hits all season long, tallied a team-best 25 multi-hit games and added three multi-RBI contests. Included in her outstanding performances last season was a school-record-tying five-hit game with a career-high five RBIs in an 18-0 (5 inn.) rout of Bowling Green on Feb. 27. Grieve already ranks sixth all-time in Lady Vol history in stolen bases with 57 thefts in 64 attempts after only two seasons wearing the Orange & White. Staring Upwards in the Eastern Division During the Preseason In a preseason poll of the Southeastern Conference’s 11 softball coaching staffs, the Tennessee Lady Vols were picked to finish third in the league’s Eastern Division. With 25 points the Big Orange trailed the two-time defending conference champions, the Florida Gators (13 points), and Georgia (18 points) in the division race with Kentucky (34 points) and South Carolina (46 points) rounding out the five programs of the SEC East.

The defending Western Division champ Alabama Crimson Tide (12 points) was selected to repeat its division championship as well as take the SEC’s overall regular season crown. The gap between the Tide and second-place LSU was razor-thin at just five points as the Bayou Bengals were one of four squads (Alabama, Florida, Georgia and LSU) to receive a first-place vote for the league title. Auburn rated third with 33 tallies, while Mississippi State (39 points), Ole Miss (40 points) and Arkansas (54 points) completed the West standings. Making a Memorable First Impression On Feb. 14th in Clermont, Fla., Tennessee freshmen hurler Ivy Renfroe became the ninth Lady Vol to win during her starting debut and in the process also became the first UT pitcher to down a ranked team in her initial start. Former Lady Vols Christy Anch, Sarah Ayres, Leslie Poole, Buffy Walker, Megan Rhodes, Monica Abbott, Ashton Ward and Cat Hosfield join Renfroe as the only pitchers to claim their initial starts at Tennessee. Abbott tossed a no-hitter in her collegiate lidlifter in an 8-0 win over St. Mary’s to open the 2004 campaign while Rhodes hurled two-hit ball in a 6-1 win over DePaul. Ward allowed just one hit in three innings versus Utah State with three K’s in her debut to open 2008. Here is how the Lady Vol pitchers have fared all-time in their starting debuts with bold representing victories: 2/23/96 2/24/96* 2/24/96 2/15/97 2/4/00 2/5/00 2/6/00 2/2/01 2/9/01 2/1/02 1/31/03 3/1/03 2/5/04 2/4/05 3/10/06 2/8/08 2/5/09 2/14/10

Maybe We Should Consider Pac 10 Membership? The Lady Vols have won 15 OF THEIR LAST 22 GAMES against members of the high-profile Pac-10 Conference in a period stretching from 2005-10. In opening weekend action, Tennessee lost a match-up to #6 UCLA on Feb. 13, 2010, at the NTC Division I Elite Invitational in Clermont, Fla.

2010 LADY VOL RETURNEES

WATCH
52 TIFFANY HUFF
2 KELLY GRIEVE
9 JESSICA SPIGNER
8 CAT HOSFIELD
A Top 25 national finalist for the 2009 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year Trophy, Huff picked up Second-Team Louisville Slugger/ NFCA All-American honors, a SecondTeam ESPN the Magazine Academic AllAmerican selection and nods to the NFCA All-Southeast Region and SecondTeam All-SEC squads. She made 2009 her breakout campaign by setting singleseason career highs in batting average (.399), runs (48), hits (63), home runs (eight), RBIs (67), total bases (102), slugging (.646) and on-base percentage (.522) and stolen bases (11), while adding 13 doubles and 43 walks...Her 67 RBIs rated her fourth in the SEC and her 1.14 RBI-per-game average placed her fifth in NCAA Division I in that category.
Grieve continued to wreak havoc on opponents during her sophomore campaign, adding the UT single-season sophomore record for stolen bases to her resume by going 39-of-42 on theft attempts. That broke the record formerly held by three-time NFCA AllAmerican Lindsay Schutzler. Rated second on the Lady Vol team with a .393 batting average and finished fourth in the SEC in total hits for the year with 79. Also scored 48 runs, delivered four doubles, four triples and knocked in 23 runs despite serving as a slap-hitting specialist. Also registered a squad-high 25 multi-hit games in ‘09 and equaled the Big Orange single-game record with five base knocks in a perfect 5-for-5, five-RBI effort in a rout of Bowling Green.
Wasted little time becoming known on a national level by hitting .322 with a team-best 14 doubles, a UT freshman record 14 home runs and 48 RBIs, while leading the squad in total bases (113) and posting a .638 slugging percentage. Her 14 big flies broke former Lady Vol Carrie Swinford’s freshman school record of 13 set back in 1996. The HR total rated Spigner sixth in the final SEC statistics and tied for the fourth-most homers by a freshman in all of NCAA Division I. She registered 16 multi-hit and 12 multi-RBI contests and homered in four consecutive games from March 11-18 against Belmont, South Carolina (two games) and Middle Tennessee. Also fired five strong innings at #8 Georgia to pick up her first pitching win, 6-3.
Hosfield opened her UT career as the Lady Vols’ workhorse in the circle, firing the second most innings in the SEC in 2009 (257.1). The Murfreesboro, Tenn., native tied for second in the league in victories with 28, rated fourth in strikeouts (221) and 11th in opposing batting average (.222). She was honored as the SEC Freshman of the Week on Feb. 23rd after posting a 4-0 record with a 1.11 ERA and 27 K’s in 25.1 innings at the prestigious Cathedral City Classic. During the event, Hosfield fired a complete-game, one-hit shutout over Loyola Marymount, two-hit #15 Massachusetts and relieved in wins over Hawai’i and Cal Poly. During the year she also beat No. 6 Oklahoma (twice), No. 18 LSU, No. 25 Kansas and Auburn (three times).
14 ERINN WEBB
00 NICOLE KAJITANI
22 ASHLEY ANDREWS
28 SHELBY BURCHELL
Hit .274 (46-of-168) over 58 starts at either second, in the outfield or in the designated player’s spot in the batting order. She tied for the SEC lead with five triples, tied for eighth in the league with 13 doubles and added six homers and 35 RBIs. Against non-conference opposition, she hit .326 with nine doubles, three triples, three homers and 21 RBIs. Webb recorded 11 multi-hit and 11 multi-RBI match-ups in 2009, while registering a career-long seven-game hitting streak stretching from Feb. 21-March 6. Among her top performances were a 2-for-3, three-RBI effort versus Villanova, a perfect 3-for-3 day with a double and three runs scored during a rout of Bowling Green and a clutch three-run triple that proved the winning margin in a 4-1 triumph at #6 Oklahoma.
Improved her offensive numbers across the board in 2009 by hitting .256 and establishing single-season careerbests in starts (37), hits (31), runs scored (22), RBIs (21), triples (two), home runs (four), stolen bases (11-of-13), total bases (51) and slugging percentage (.421). Received her first career selection as the SEC Player of the Week (4/13) after her finest offensive week as a Lady Vol... Over a five-game stretch including a DH at Kentucky and a three-game series versus Auburn, Kajitani hit .450 with two doubles, a game-winning triple, two HR’s and nine RBIs. Included were a 3-for-4, career-high six-RBI game in a win over the Wildcats and a walk-off, two-RBI triple that brought Tennessee back from a 2-1 deficit in the seventh inning to a 3-2 victory and a series sweep versus AU.
Held down the starting shortstop spot for the Lady Vols throughout all 59 contests during her freshman campaign clad in the Orange & White. The Tumwater, Wash., native hit a solid .299 overall with 44 hits, 22 runs scored, three doubles, three triples, seven RBIs and eight stolen bases. She recorded 11 multi-hit games during the 2009 campaign, posted a pair of five-game hitting streaks and then a career-long, eightgame skein that stretched from April 10-22. Posted a perfect 3-for-3 day at the plate with a double and triple in a loss at Ole Miss and hit .625 (5-for-8) during the series with Auburn. In a DH versus AU on April 11th, she tripled and scored the winning run in a 2-1 (11-inn.) win and then plated the deciding tally on a Kajitani walk-off triple in a 3-2 win.
Opened her career in the Orange & White by hitting .256 over 56 games played (52 starts) with 18 runs scored, three doubles, five home runs and 25 RBIs. The Columbia, Tenn., product received the majority of her playing time (38 games) in the designated player spot in the line-up, but also played 20 contests in the outfield and got into three match-ups behind the plate. Burchell ignited the Lady Vol offense to a 6-1 victory over #23 Massachusetts at the Cathedral City Classic by going 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs and a careerbest three RBIs. She also delivered a clutch two-run single in the 10th inning to help seal a marathon, 4-0 (10 inn.) win over BYU. In a three-game series versus Mississippi State, Burchell hit a staggering .857 (6-for-7).
