The Vols won their home tournament with a sweep of George Washington (25-20, 25-9, 25-22). That takes them to 3-0 on the season. And it gives coach Rob Patrick career win 400. More soon.
UPDATE: Kendra Turner led the Vols in kills with 10. She hit .409 on the night. Alyssa Andreno had 8 kills and again hit an impressive .500. Erica Treiber had 6 kills, 5 blocks, and 3 aces. Stephanie Spencer had 5 kills. Sedona Hansen and Callie Williams splitting time at setter put up 17 and 12 assists respectively. Brooke Schumacher had 13 digs.
UT held GWU to 9 points in the second set, the 3rd lowest opponent set score of the rally-scoring era.
Andreno was named Tournament MVP, while Treiber and Schumacher were named to the All-Tournament Team. Andreno hit .477 for the weekend, had 2.40 kills per set, and 1.60 blocks per set. Treiber hit .500, had 2.80 kills per set, and served up 7 aces. Schumacher had 4.90 digs per set and only a single reception error.
Patrick got his latest milestone. From win #300, it took 183 games to get to #400. All four of his 100 win milestone victories came in front of the home crowd. Patrick is the third SEC coach to reach 400 with their current school. Already the all-time winningest Tennessee volleyball coach, Patrick now has put 171 victories between himself and the next person on the list, Bob Bertucci, who had 229 wins from 1979 to 1986.
