It’s almost impossible to believe but we’re already at the halfway point of the 2015 volleyball season! Part of the reason it’s difficult to fathom might be because they have barely played here in Knoxville. The team has had only five of their 17 matches at home — and all were played within just a single six day stretch. The local fans get to see the team in person once this weekend before they hit the road again. But after this week Tennessee will be home in eight of their last 13 matches.

Tomorrow we’ll focus on those games. Today’s notes will look at some of individual players and how their mid-season stats might look in the record books at the end of the year. This list is not definitive, so apologies if I missed someone. Of course, these numbers may change as the season goes on. And finally, some of these records have prerequisites that may need to be met before they become official.
