Only one match this past weekend to recap — Tennessee’s four set loss to South Carolina (25-18, 17-25, 25-20, 25-23). The team will get a chance to avenge the loss, as SC is one of the conference opponents UT play’s twice this season.
NOTES
- In the first match of the season vs SEC teams, the Lady Vols loss this year evens their record to 20-20-1.
- Tennessee’s record vs South Carolina falls to 35-26.
- The loss snaps UT’s 9 match win streak against the Gamecocks.
- Tennessee hadn’t lost an SEC opener at home since 2007.
- Starting conference play with a loss isn’t ideal, but it’s not necessarily a bad sign. Of the other 7 squads coached by Rob Patrick that lost their SEC debut, only one ended the season with a losing league record.
