We’re just 50 days away from the first serve of the 2013 season! The Lady Vols’ first opponent of the year will be Morehead State. The squads will break a 4-4-2 series tie when they face off at a tournament in Cincinnati. The teams first met in 1976 and the last meeting was in 1994. Tennessee has won the last four match-ups.

Earlier today coach Rob Patrick was a guest on WNML radio (click the links for 9:30 and 9:45 — they may be deleted when tomorrow’s show is posted). He talked about: reasons the 2012 team underachieved, Ellen Mullins at the National A2 Program, the growth of the sport of volleyball, new recruits, and who’s favored to win the conference.
