The Vols take on South Carolina in Columbia tonight in a nationally televised match.
- UT announced that the volleyball team “maintained its perfect multi-year graduation success rate… The volleyball program has had a 100 GSR score nine consecutive years in the 11 years the score has been measured.”
- Tennessee is 37-27 all-time vs South Carolina. The team is 8-2 in their last ten matches.
- SC is 7-6 at home this season, but Tennessee has a five match winning streak on their court, dating back to 2009.
- The Vols are 1-3 when playing on television this year
- This series is the longest-running in South Carolina history, and the third longest for Tennessee. The teams first met in 1974.
- In both the last two matches vs these teams, South Carolina won the first and third sets while Tennessee won the second and fourth sets. Last season the Gamecocks won the fifth 15-9 while this year the Vols took the final set 15-9.
- Last time vs SC: Tennessee earned a hard fought comeback win against the Gamecocks in five. Erica Treiber led the team in five categories with 16 kills, a .452 hitting percentage, three aces, five blocks, and 21.5 points. Bridgette Villano had 28 digs. Tennessee won the match despite having fewer kills, attacks, assists, blocks, and points.
- The Gamecock’s have an assistant coach who played in every match between Tennessee and her alma mater. Shonda Cole was with South Carolina from 2003-2006. Despite only going 1-7 vs the Vols, her career numbers vs UT are impressive — in rally scoring era matches she stands at #2 in points, #3 in kills, #4 in attacks, and #5 in aces.
