Tennessee defeats Georgia in five

With a dominating fifth set performance, the Lady Vols get the win at Georgia (15-25, 25-22, 17-25, 27-25, 15-5). Stephanie Buss, who had 15 kills this season coming into the match, put down 16 vs the Bulldogs. She hit .387 and had 4 blocks. Tessa Grubbs had 13 kills. Erica Treiber had 8 kills, hit .467, and had 6 blocks. And Madison Coulter had 7 kills. Alyssa Andreno had 4 blocks and Breana Jeter added 3 more. Sedona Hansen earned a double-double with 37 assists and 11 digs. Callie Williams put up 21 assists. Brooke Schumacher dug up 26 balls.

In the rally scoring era, UT has only held one team to fewer than 5 points in a fifth set. This was Tennessee’s first true road win since October 2016. The team had not played back-to-back-to-back five-set matches since 2012.
