• The Lady Vols finished their third weekend of play with wins vs Kennesaw State and Loyola (MD) and a loss to Coastal Caorlina — all in four sets. After ten matches their record is even at five wins, five losses.
• Tennessee is now 1-0 vs the Owls, 1-0 vs the Greyhounds, and 1-1 vs the Chanticleers all-time. Since 2001, UT is 8-1 vs the A-Sun, 3-0 vs the Patriot League, and 4-1 vs the Big South.
• Loyola’s ten points in the second set of their match was the fifth lowest opponent set score of the rally scoring era for the Lady Vols.
• Raina Hembry had three solo blocks vs Loyola. Since 2001, only two Lady Vols have ever notched more in a match.
• Tennessee’s long ten match road trip is finally over! Luckily this is a fairly rare occurrence — it’s only happened nine times since 1978. Four of those trips started the season.
• The longest road trip since head coach Rob Patrick took over the program was his very first time on the sidelines. In 1997, the Lady Vols started the season, and Patrick’s UT career, with 11 straight road games: to Chattanooga TN, Bloomington IN, and Lincoln NE.
• 1980 wasn’t a good year for Knoxvilians to see their home team playing volleyball. At the Olympics, the USA Volleyball squad was a no-show due to the boycott of the Soviet games. And closer to home the Lady Vols only had six matches in Knoxville. A whopping 51 matches were out of town games for UT!
