UT takes title with win over NDSU

The Lady Vols win their home tourney with a sweep of North Dakota State (25-10, 25-20, 25-10). More tonight Sunday!

Setter Sedona Hansen had 33 assists. Giana Pellizzon had the most digs on the court with 10. Madison Coulter served up 2 aces.

The Lady Vols only had 7 hitting errors in the match — the 6th fewest in the rally scoring era.

Sedona Hansen was named the tournament MVP. Madison Coulter and Alyssa Andreno were named to the All-Tournament Team.
