The Lady Vols finished their home tourney with wins vs Mercer and Montana State and losses to Austin Peay and Memphis. After 14 matches their record is even at seven wins, seven losses.

• Tennessee is now 3-1- vs the Lady Govs, 1-0 vs the Greyhounds, 22-8 vs the Tigers, 1-0 vs the Bears, and 1-0 vs the Bobcats all-time.
• The Lady Vols are now 29-8 in home openers since 1978. Under coach Rob Patrick the team is 14-4. In their opening week at home UT is 78-24 since 1978, and 42-14 under Patrick.
• Coach Patrick is 40-12 in Lady Vol Classic matches. This was just the second time one of his teams lost more than a single match in the tournament.
• UT met seven of their opponents this year for the first time in program history, and went 5-2 vs them: Northern Illinois, Omaha, Evansville, Kennesaw State, Loyola (MD), Mercer, and Montana State.
• The defeats to Austin Peay and Memphis doubled the number of losses to fellow state teams UT has had since 1991. The last time the Lady Vols lost two matches to state schools in the same season was 1980 — both to Memphis. The last time Tennessee lost two matches to two different state schools in the same season was 1978 — Memphis and ETSU. The Lady Vols are 135-29-4 (.815) vs other Tennessee schools. Coach Patrick is 24-4 (.857).
• Austin Peay won more sets in their match vs Tennessee this week then they had in all four of the previous meetings combined.
• Austin Peay only had eight hitting errors — no other UT opponent in the rally scoring era (2001-present) has had fewer. As a team the Lady Govs hit .384 — the 12th highest in APSU history and the sixth highest by a UT opponent since 2001. Tennessee did pretty well themselves, hitting .262 — the fourth highest hitting percentage by the Lady Vols in a loss since 2001.
• Kelsey Bawcombe’s four aces vs Montana State were the eighth most by a Lady Vol in a sweep since 2001.
• Tennessee played their first five-set game of the year in their 13th match. Since 1982, that’s the fourth furthest into the season they’ve gone before going to five. In 2004, the team didn’t go to the tie-breaker until their 28th match. And in 1989 and 2002, they went to five for the first time in their 16th matches.
• Four players (excluding newcomers) matched or exceeded a personal career high this past weekend: Lexi Dempsey (digs in a five set match vs MU, points, first career solo block, block assists in a 3 set match, and total blocks in a 3 set match, vs MSU); Shealyn Kolosky (points in a 4 set match vs U of M); Ashley Mariani (block assists in a 3 set match and total blocks in a 3 set match vs MSU); and Bridgette Villano (digs in a 5 set match and assists vs MU).
• The Lady Vols have completed the non-confernce portion of their regular season schedule. Since 2001, they have been fairly dominant in those matches. In total, they’ve played teams from 26 conferences and have a winning record vs 22 of them. UT only has a losing record vs one conference.
