Road Tournaments Recap

Tennessee has finished the away portion of their pre-confernece schedule. Over the next two weeks they will play two tournaments in Knoxville before beginning SEC play. But first here’s a very quick recap of some of the things they’ve done so far.

NOTES

  • Tennessee is 6-1. They’ve only started the season off better 4 times in program history: in 1973, 1979, 1986, and 2004, the team was undefeated after their first 7 matches.
  • The team is off to their best start since 2010.
  • This is the first year since 2002 that Tennessee has started off the season with 7 road matches.
  • The Lady Vols have accumulated 526 total team digs so far this season. In the rally scoring era, only the 2006 and 2007 squads ever scored as many in a seven match stretch — and matches back then were played to 30 points.

DOUBLE DOUBLES

Lexi Dempsey vs Cincinnati 27 assists, 11 digs
Jamie Lea vs Butler 10 kills, 11 digs
Lexi Dempsey vs Chattanooga 33 assists, 10 digs
Lexi Dempsey vs UNC Asheville 47 assists, 14 digs
Lexi Dempsey vs UT Martin 45 assists, 11 digs
