UT IN THE RANKINGS¢ For the third consecutive season, Tennessee

opened its campaign in the national rankings, came in at No. 15 in the AVCA Preseason Poll. The preseason ranking was the ninth in program history for UT, who concluded 2011 rated as No. 19.¢ On Aug. 27, the Lady Vols moved up one position

to No. 14 in the nation following wins over Cincinnati and then-No. 10 Iowa State. UT fell down two notches to No. 16 after posting a 2-1 mark at the Shocker Volleyball Classic.¢ The Big Orange went 3-0 at Maryland’s Spring-

Hill Suites Invitational with three sweeps, but dropped one spot to No. 17 in the AVCA Poll on Sept. 10.¢ After opening their SEC slate 2-3, the Lady Vols

dropped out of the top 25 on Oct. 1 for the first time in 17 polling periods and since September 2011.¢ The 16-week stretch was the fourth longest in

school history. UT had two stretches of 19-straight weeks (2009-11; 1982-84) and one stretch of 17 con-secutive weeks (2004-05) in the poll.¢ After entering the rankings at No. 24 on Nov. 30,

2009, the Lady Vols spent 19 consecutive polling pe-riods in the Top 25, until falling out for a four-week span last season. ¢ Five wins in a row would not quite put the Lady

Vols back in the top 25, but they are receiving votes for the fourth straight week (Oct. 22).

» Head Coach Rob Patrick is six matches away from coaching his 500th career match at Tennessee. It will be at home vs. Auburn on Nov. 16.

LADY VOL NOTESWHAT A MILESTONE¢ With her first dig of the second set at Texas A&M

last Friday, junior outside hitter Kelsey Robinson be-came the fifth Lady Vol in program history to eclipse the 1,000-mark in career kills and digs.¢ Robinson, who notched her 1,000th career kill in

a five-set win at LSU (10/10) earlier this season, joins Tennessee greats Nikki Fowler, Kristy Dobson, Stepha-nie Ehlers and Sonja Thomas in the exclusive club.¢ Just a junior, Robinson reached the 1,000/1,000

mark in both categories in just 79 matches. Below is a chart of the five club members:

SCARY GOOD IN OCTOBER¢ In 2012, the Lady Vols possess a perfect 5-0 re-

cord in the month of October entering the weekend. While November and December represent the home stretch and the championship portion of the college volleyball season, October is the heart of it.¢ Dating back five seasons through the 2008 cam-

paign, the Lady Vols are an impressive 36-8 in the month

of October and has used the 31 days to help propel themselves into four consecutive NCAA Tournaments.¢ Over the five-match win streak, Tennessee has out-

performed its opponents in every statistical category. The Lady Vols have out-killed (14.3 K/s-12.8 K/s), out-hit (.244-.174), out-passed (13.6 A/s-11.8 A/s), out-aced (.9 A/s-.5 A/s), out-dug (18.7 D/s-17.2 D/s) and out-blocked their opponents (2.60 B/s-2.57 B/s) during the stretch.¢ Sophomore Tiffany Baker has led the offensive at-

tack during the streak, compiling a team-high 82 kills and hitting a team-best .313. Defensively, junior libero Ellen Mullins anchors the back row, averaging an im-pressive 5.48 digs per set.

TENNESSEE IN THE RPI¢ The initial NCAA Division I Volleyball RPI of the

2012 campaign was released recently with the Lady Vols coming in at No. 27 in the nation. After defeating Mizzou and Georgia, UT jumped six spots to No. 21 in the second week of the RPI rankings and went up three more spots after posting wins at LSU and Arkansas to No. 18. Following their win at Texas A&M, the Lady Vols jumped two more spots to No. 16 in this week’s RPI.¢ Eight of UT’s 14 wins have come against top 75

RPI teams: Arkansas (25), Texas A&M (27), Wichita State (36), Iowa State (37), Colorado State (39), Miz-zou (48), UGA (51) and LSU (70).¢ In addition, all five of the Big Orange’s losses have

come against top 50 RPI squads: Florida State (13), BYU

(15), Kentucky (20), Arkansas (25) and Missouri (48). ¢ The SEC has five teams in the top 30 and seven

squads in the top 51 of the RPI rankings: Florida (10), Tennessee (16), Kentucky (20), Arkansas (25), Texas A&M (27), Missouri (48) and Georgia (51).

DEF. PLAYER OF THE WEEK... AGAIN¢ After anchoring the Lady Vol defense to wins at

LSU and Arkansas, Mullins was named the SEC’s De-fensive Player of the Week for the second consecu-tive week last week. She followed up her career-best 34-dig performance against Mizzou (Oct. 5) with 32 scoops at LSU on Oct. 10. It was the second highest total of her career as she became just the third Lady Vol to record at least two matches with 30 or more digs in a single season.¢ On Oct. 14, she helped UT sweep Arkansas with 17

TENNESSEE vs. THE TOP 25¢ Through 19 matches, the Lady Vols have faced

three opponents ranked in the top 25 and three that were receiving votes in the poll. Kentucky is currently receiving votes in the AVCA poll.¢ UT is 2-1 against teams in the top 25 this season

with wins over then-No. 10 Iowa State and then-No. 24 Colorado State. The Big Orange’s loss was against then-No. 12 Florida State in the season opener. The Lady Vols also lost to a BYU squad that is now ranked 18th in the weekly poll.¢ The Lady Vols’ two wins over ranked teams are

the only wins over non-conference opponents ranked in the top 25 for SEC teams.¢ Tennessee went 4-2 in matches against ranked

opponents in 2011, with a pair of wins over Florida (No. 6 & No. 13), a victory over No. 16 Kentucky and a win against No. 21 Dayton.¢ En route to its NCAA Regional Final appearance,

the Big Orange defeated a rally-scoring record six ranked teams in 2004. UT shared the SEC title and captured the SEC Tournament title that season.

ROBINSON EARNS MEMBERSHIP¢ Heading into the break at LSU (Oct. 10), Robinson

pounded her 998th and 999th career kills to comeback and win the second set, 26-24. Right after the break, the Bartlett, Ill., native slammed down another - her 1,000th career kill in the Big Orange uniform.¢ With that kill, she became one of just 18 Lady Vols

to eclipse the 1,000-kill plateau. She enters this match with 1,039 kills, just 10 shy of tying Kelly Hanlon’s 1,049.¢ Below is a chart of UT’s 1,000-kill club:

RECORD WATCH¢ Mullins currently sits at 943 career digs, 57 shy of

joining the 1,000-dig club. With Robinson reaching the

CAN YOU DIG IT?¢ After posting a season-high 98 digs at home

against Mizzou (Oct. 5), the Lady Vols bested that mark just five days later when they tied a Tennessee rally scoring record with 106 scoops at LSU (Oct. 10).¢ Tennessee has recorded 50 or more digs in 14

of 19 matches this season and has combined for 393 scoops - for an average of 18.71 per set - in its last five matches. ¢ With its recent performances, Tennessee has

climbed to fifth in the SEC in the category with an average of 15.91 digs per set. In SEC matches only, UT ranks second in the category (17.39/Set).

THROWING IT AROUND ¢ Over the five-match win streak, Tennessee has

dished out a combined 285 assists for an average of 13.57 per set, including 245 from sophomore setter Mary Pollmiller. Pollmiller is averaging 11.67 dimes per game over the last five and handed out 46 in just three sets at A&M for a 15.33 per game average.¢ With Pollmiller’s ability to spread it around, Ten-

nessee has climbed to the top of the SEC with a sea-son average of 13.33 assists per game. In SEC matches only, the Lady Vols are tied for first with Texas A&M at 13.27 helpers per frame.¢ Tennessee has posted 50 or more digs in 13 of 19

matches this season.

FABULOUS IN FIVE¢ UT has played a league-high seven five-setters

through 19 matches this season and holds a 6-1 record in those matchups.¢ The seven five-set matches this year are more

than the Lady Vols have played all season in six of the last 10 campaigns. UT played 9 five-setters last season and finished with a 6-3 mark in those matches. ¢ The five-set win at LSU (Oct. 10) was the Lady

Vols’ third straight win in five, marking just the sec-ond time in program history the team has won back to back to back five-setters. ¢ UT defeated South Carolina, Auburn and Ken-

tucky in consecutive five-setters in 2008.¢ This year is just the second time the Big Orange

has ever won two pairs of back to back five-setters in the same season. The Lady Vols also beat Iowa State (Aug. 25) and Colorado State (Aug. 31) in consecutive five-setters earlier this campaign.¢ Tennessee fought back from a two-set deficit

against Georgia (Oct. 7). It was the 16th win after being down 0-2 in school history. From 1997 to 2008, the team was only able to accomplish the feat once. Since 2009, the Lady Vols have won one match in that fashion each season.

TENNESSEE ON THE TUBE¢ The Lady Vols will make a league high five TV ap-

pearances in the regular season in 2012. UT, which ap-peared on the network at Mizzou and Kentucky, made its third and final appearance on ESPNU at LSU (Oct. 10). ¢ The Big Orange hosts Alabama (10/28) on Fox

SportSouth this Sunday and plays at Florida on Comcast/Cox on Nov. 4.¢ Since 2001, Tennessee has played 11 matches on

ESPN’s networks and is 6-5 in those matches. Since 2009, UT is 13-5 in TV matches. The Big Orange is 1-2 on TV this season.¢ The Orange & White owns an overall record of 21-

20 in televised matches dating back to 2001.

20/20 VISION¢ Against South Carolina (9/23), Robinson recorded

21 kills and 22 digs, marking her third 20/20 match of the season and the fifth of her career. While it’s not an of-ficial stat, it’s certainly a rare feat in the UT record books.¢ Since 2001, six different players have reached the

20 mark in two statistical categories in a single match on just 14 occasions.¢ Below is a chart of UT’s 14 20/20 matches since 2001:

DOUBLE-DOUBLE MACHINE¢ Robinson, the defending SEC Player of the Year,

currently ranks second in the SEC with 13 double-doubles on the season. Robinson did not achieve the feat in the season opener against Florida State, but reached double digits in two categories in 11-straight matches. Her streak was snapped at Kentucky (9/26).¢ The junior outside hitter tallied 18 kills and 17 digs at

LSU (Oct. 10) and fell just one dig short of the program’s third triple-double with nine digs. She posted her second straight at Arkansas (Oct. 14) with a 15-kill, 10-dig perfor-mance. At Texas A&M, she had 14 kills and fell just one dig short of her third straight double-double with nine.¢ She now has 40 career double-doubles.

son at UT, Kayla Jeter had the breakout performance she had been waiting for against Georgia (10/7). The All-American posted a career-best 27 kills, breaking her previous mark of 23 set as a sophomore at Ken-tucky, and hit .444 against the Bulldogs with 12 digs to notch her first double-double of the season.¢ The 27 kills from the Solon, Ohio native ranks

as the second-highest single-match total in the SEC this year, behind only her teammate Robinson, who notched 29 vs. Iowa State (Aug. 25).¢ The outside hitter added her second straight dou-

ble-double at LSU, going for 13 kills and 10 digs. She’s averaging 1.94 kills per set and hitting .236 this year.

POLLMILLER PASSES 2K¢ With her 36th assist at home vs. Arkansas (9/21),

Pollmiller became the seventh player in Tennessee history to cross the 2,000-assist mark for her career.¢ As a freshman, she set UT single season rally

scoring records in assists (1,480) and assists per set (11.94). She led all NCAA freshmen in assists per set, while ranking fourth in the nation and first in the SEC.¢ She was tabbed SEC Freshman of the Year and an

AVCA Honorable Mention All-American. In addition, the rookie garnered AVCA All-South Region Fresh-man of the Year, SEC All-Freshman Team and AVCA All-South Region Team honors. ¢ Below is a chart of UT’s 2,000-assist club:

POLLMILLER TRIPLE-DOUBLE¢ With her 49-assist, 14-dig and 11-kill performance

at Wichita State (9/2), Pollmiller became just the second player in program history to record the rare triple-double.¢ Pollmiller and Ole Miss’ Amanda Philpot have the

league’s only triple-doubles this season. Philpot tal-lied 11 kills, 14 digs and 36 assists vs. Rice (9/7) and added a 10-kill, 12-dig and 40-assist performance vs. rival Mississippi State (9/21) ¢ Pollmiller is currently tied for fourth in the confer-

ence with 10 double-doubles on the season.¢ Tennessee legend Nikki Fowler was the only other

UT player to achieve the triple-double for the Lady Vols. As a freshman, Fowler went for 19 kills, 19 assists and 18 digs at Ole Miss on Nov. 2, 2007. She finished her career (2007-10) with 1,649 kills and 1,281 digs, ranking fourth in kills and sixth in digs in the UT record books.

TENNESSEE ON THE ROAD¢ After hosting its annual home tournament, the Com-

cast Lady Vol Classic, from Aug. 24-25, the Lady Vols have been road warriors. UT traveled to Wichita, Kan., and College Park, Md., for two regular season tourna-ments and Columbia, Mo., Tuscaloosa, Ala., Lexington, Ky., Baton Rouge, La., Fayetteville, Ark., and College Sta-tion, Texas, for SEC play.¢ Tennessee is 6-2 in true road matches this sea-

son, with wins over Wichita State, Maryland, Alabama, LSU, Arkansas and most recently Texas A&M. UT also has three wins at a neutral location on the campaign.¢ In 2011, the Big Orange finished with a 14-3 re-

cord in matches away from Thompson-Boling Arena, including a 3-1 mark in a neutral location. ¢ Dating back through the 2008 campaign, the Lady

Vols are 44-17 (.721) in true road matches. UT is 71-40 (.639) in away matches dating back through the 2004 season.

LADY VOLS BREAK HITTING RECORD¢ The Lady Vols played a historical match against

Boston College (9/8) this season, hitting .639 as a team to break a single-match record that stood for nearly 32 years. UT had 48 kills on 72 attacking at-tempts with only two errors - a rally scoring era best. Tennessee allowed just 38 points against, the second fewest in the rally scoring era.¢ The hitting percentage clip bested the previous

record of .607 that was set on Sept. 19, 1980 in a loss against Cal State Fullerton.

SCOUTING THE WILDCATS¢ The five-time SEC Champion Wildcats enter Fri-

day’s meeting with a 13-8 overall record and a 7-4 mark in conference play. UK opened the SEC slate with back to back losses, but has won seven of its last nine.¢ Last week, Kentucky lost in straight sets at home

against Arkansas, but rebounded to shutout the LSU Tigers, 25-19, 25-18, 25-22. The Wildcats used an im-pressive 16-6 run to close out the match against LSU.¢ The strength of the talented Kentucky squad all

season has been its defensive play at the net. UK cur-rently ranks second in the conference and 29th in the nation in blocks per set with 2.67¢ Led by junior middle blocker Alexandra Morgan,

the Wildcats have four players with 48 or more blocks on the season. Morgan ranks ninth in the SEC with 1.03 blocks per set and is efficient offensively, hitting a blazing .352 on the season. That mark ranks seventh in the league and 65th in the country.¢ Kentucky displays a balanced offensive attack.

With setter Christine Hartmann dishing 10.71 assists per game, UK is hitting .242 as a team and has five players with 100 or more kills. Junior right side hitter Whitney Billings paces Big Blue with 227 kills for a 2.99 kills per game average, while senior outside hitter Ash-ley Frazier follows with 221 spikes on the campaign.¢ Craig Skinner is in his eighth season at the helm of

the Wildcats and has led the squad to seven consecu-tive NCAA Tournament appearances. Skinner is 171-73 at UK, including 103-44 in SEC action.

SCOUTING THE TIDE¢ The Alabama Crimson Tide started the 2012 sea-

son 12-1, but a 3-1 loss to the Lady Vols (Sept. 16), started a downhill slide for the Tide. UA is 2-9 since losing to UT and enters its the match with a 14-10 overall record and sits in sixth in the SEC West with a 3-9 league mark.¢ Last week, Alabama lost in straight sets to No. 11

Florida and unranked Georgia at home on Oct. 19 and 21, respectively. ¢ The Crimson Tide has been one of the top serving

teams in the conference all season long. UA leads the league with 87 total aces and ranks second with 1.34 service aces per set. Leading the Tide serving is fresh-man outside hitter Kryssi Daniels. She currently has a SEC-high 41 aces and 0.47 aces per game average. Daniels’ ace per game average ranks 14th in the nation.¢ Offensively, Alabama is hitting .238 on the season
