• The Knoxville News Sentinel has written an article about the Lady Vols titled “UT volleyball has no doubt things are changing”: “The Vols are 12-0, achieving the program’s best start of an NCAA-era season, which dates back to 1981. Rob Patrick said Tuesday that the turnaround reflects everything from improved leadership to effective setting, better team defense and more experience.”
• The official site has a similar piece titled “Attitude, work push Vols to record start”: “Tennessee’s volleyball players were fed up with the way the last two seasons had unfolded. So was their head coach… ‘We literally sat down with each other and said we’re not going to stand for another losing season,’ junior Raina Hembry said.”
• The Daily Beacon, the college paper, has posted a feature on freshman Erica Treiber: “Much like her Tennessee volleyball team, Erica Treiber is blowing away expectations. The true freshman currently leads a 12-0 Vols volleyball team in hitting percentage and blocks per set.”
• Junior libero Bridgette Villano sat for a Q&A with the official site: “As the Vols have gotten off to their best start in more than 40 years, Bridgette Villano has been a consistent, steadying force on the back row, leading the team in both digs (207) and digs/set (4.81).”
