With Ralph and Karen Weekly preparing to enter their 11th season in charge of the Tennessee Lady Vol softball program, the duo enters the new campaign knowing that expectations now, with the talent they have assembled in Knoxville, always consist of challenging for titles on both the league and national levels. With that factor in mind, UT shouldn’t skip a beat in its pursuit of both in 2012 as the Orange & White return four experienced players who have reaped All-American accolades during their careers, all three starting pitchers from last season’s 49-win squad and numerous talented newcom-ers and role players that will provide impressive depth throughout the new season.

PHONE DIRECTORYBRIAN DAVISAssistant Media Relations Director

Brian Davis rejoined the Tennessee Media Relations staff on a full-time basis in September 2004, after spend-ing the previous year as an assistant media relations director at Vanderbilt University. With the Commodores, Davis handled the day-to-day media relations duties for

the women’s basketball and men’s golf programs. He also assisted in the host-ing of the 2004 SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament in Nashville, Tenn., and traveled to Athens, Ga., as the media contact with the VU women’s tennis team during its run to the NCAA Final Four. At UT, Davis is in charge of all publicity efforts for the nationally-ranked softball and soccer programs. The Jackson, Tenn., native is familiar with the Tennessee athletics department after serving for three seasons (2000-03) as a media relations graduate assistant and intern working with the Lady Vol bas-ketball team. Since entering the profession in 1999, he has worked as a contact or assistant contact with eight teams over four sports (women’s basketball, soft-ball, women’s tennis, women’s volleyball) that have been to NCAA Final Fours or the Women’s College World Series, two NCAA finalists and served as a part of eight Southeastern Conference regular-season or tournament championship teams. Davis earned a bachelor’s degree in communications with a broadcast-ing emphasis from Tennessee in 1997. He completed work on a master’s degree in sport administration from UT in 2002.

6 TENNESSEE SOFTBALL /// 2012 MEDIA GUIDE

With Co-Head Softball Coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly preparing to enter their 11th season in charge of the Tennessee Lady Vol softball pro-gram, the duo enters the new campaign knowing that expectations now, with the talent they have assembled in Knoxville, always consist of challeng-ing for titles on both the league and national levels. With that factor in mind, UT shouldn’t skip a beat in its pursuit of both in 2012 as the Orange & White return four experienced players who have reaped All-American accolades during their careers, all three starting pitch-ers from last season’s 49-win squad and numerous talented newcomers and role players that will provide impressive depth throughout the new season. As always, the schedule will be a daunting task full of challenges, but the expectation is that Tennessee will be properly prepared come time to enter postseason play, perhaps well enough to defend its SEC Tournament title and earn the program’s fifth all-time trip to the annual Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla. The Big Orange begins its new journey with 15 returning letter-winners, including seven that started at least 31 games in 2011, while also welcom-ing back all 49 pitching victories from the circle. UT bolsters that impressive depth with the addition of a sterling class of four high-profile newcomers. In all, the Lady Vols return 74% of the total hits, 78% of the runs, 67% of the doubles, 75% of the triples, 68% of the home runs, 74% of the RBIs and 83% of the stolen bases from NCAA Division I’s top offense by batting aver-age (.348) in 2011. Included among the returnees are (2011 stat totals in parentheses): 2011 Louisville Slugger/NFCA First Team All-American and current USA Softball Senior Women’s National Team member Lauren Gibson (Junior, 2B—2011 SEC batting champion counting SEC games only at .451, .420 avg., 13 doubles, eight HR’s, 63 RBIs, 12-12 stolen bases), 2011 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year Top 10 Finalist and Louisville Slugger/NFCA Second Team All-American Raven Chavanne (Junior, 3B/OF—2011 SEC bat-ting champion counting all games, .455 avg., 90 hits, 66 runs scored, 33-36 stolen bases), 2011 Louisville Slugger/NFCA Third Team All-American Ellen Renfroe (Sophomore, P—45 appearances, 27 games started, 26-7 record, 1.50 ERA, 259 K’s in 201.0 IP), 2011 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year Top 25 Finalist and Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region selection Kat Dotson (Junior, OF--.401 avg., 73 hits, 54 runs scored, 10 HR’s, 64 RBIs, 26-31 stolen bases), 2011 SEC All-Freshman choice and recent USA Softball Junior Women’s National Team member Madison Shipman (Sophomore, IF--.292 avg., eight doubles, five HR’s, 27 RBIs), power-hitting utility player Shelby Burchell (Senior, UTL--.325 avg., 15 HR’s, 54 RBIs) and 2010 Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region selection Ivy Renfroe (Junior, P—37 appearances, 25 games started, 19-4 record, 2.07 ERA, 157 Ks in 152.1 IP). Highlighting the Lady Vol freshman class that was rated No. 2 in the nation for 2011 by ESPN RISE are Cheyanne Tarango (P/IF, Anaheim Hills, Calif.), Hannah Akamine (C/IF, Escondido, Calif.,), Haley Fagan (P/IF, Cornersville, Tenn.) and recent roster addition Hannah Trainer (IF, Brentwood, Tenn.). “This should be a very exciting year for Tennessee softball,” Ralph Weekly said. “We have a majority of the players back from the team that led the nation in hitting in 2011, and I believe we currently possess the most depth we’ve ever had at one time during our 11 years at UT, especially on the infield and in the circle. That’s a positive because we have several top players coming back from off-season surgery. The injury bug is going to be a critical factor in our success as always, but the prognosis for those return-ing to action is good. Overall, the schedule will be challenging and should prepare our squad for a long run in the postseason.”

INFIELD/CATCHING: The Lady Vol infield has per-haps the most returning experience of any overall position on the field in 2012. At every starting spot, UT can boast, as the expected opening-day starter, a cur-rent or former participant with the various USA Softball programs while returning among those individuals a pair of Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Americans, an SEC All-Freshman choice and a recent, two-time ESPN/RISE High School All-American. Having guided NCAA Division I in fielding percentage on three occasions since 2005 and consistently rating among the top five nationally demonstrates that the Tennessee coaching staff knows how to get the most out the outstanding talent it has accrued across the diamond. Moving to the “hot corner” full-time in 2012 is two-time Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American Chavanne. A top 10 finalist last season for the USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year award, the Thousand Oaks, Calif., native won the SEC batting title (counting all games) last season and finished seventh in all of NCAA Division I at .455 to go along with 90 hits, 32 RBIs and 33 steals. The 2011 first team All-SEC and NFCA All-Southeast Region selection reached by hit or walk in 55 of her 61 games and posted a team-high 29 multi-hit efforts last season as UT’s everyday lead-off hitter. An SEC All-Freshman selection last season at short-stop, Shipman is coming off surgery during the off-season to repair her non-throwing shoulder as well as a fractured hamate bone in her left hand that limited her productivity throughout the majority of her rookie campaign in the Orange & White. Despite her health issues last season, the Valencia, Calif., product still man-aged to hit .292 overall with five HR’s, including a pair of towering grand slams against #21 LSU and Liberty, and 27 RBIs while playing in 58 games (54 starts). Back

on the diamond at full speed for 2012, Shipman is expected to anchor the infield at short while providing another powerful bat in the middle of the Lady Vol line-up. UT’s starting second baseman for the majority of the last two seasons and a current member of the USA Softball Senior’s Women’s National roster, Gibson returns after recording a true breakout 2011 campaign. The Pasadena, Md., native picked up first team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American, All-Southeast Region, All-SEC and SEC All-Defensive (2B) accolades last year after hitting .420 overall with a team-best 13 doubles to go along with eight HR’s and 63 RBIs. She even won the SEC batting title (counting league contests only) with a sterling .451 average against confer-ence opposition. She got on via hit or walk in 52 of 61 contests and posted 20 multi-hit and 16 multi-RBI efforts. A decorated player out Anaheim Hills, Calif., Tarango ventures to Tennessee with an impressive list of accolades in tow. Both a 2011 ESPN/RISE Second Team and 2010 ESPN/RISE Third Team All-American, a 2010 NFCA High School First Team All-West Region selection and one of the 2010 “Top Five Softball Players in Orange County,” she was tabbed as All-State, All-CIF, All-Orange County and All-Century League following all four years of her H.S. career (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011). As a senior she hit .486 with 20 RBIs while posting a 23-8 record, 214 K’s and a 2.44 ERA in 198 innings. Most recently she helped the USA Softball Junior Women’s National Team to the ISF IX Junior Women’s World Championship crown in Cape Town, South Africa. Tarango blasted the game-winning grand slam to top Japan in the title contest, 4-1. Expected to start at first base, the Weeklys also have plans on her contributing in the pitching circle. “Cheyanne is a gifted athlete who plays first, hits for power and can also pitch,” Ralph Weekly said. “I believe she’s ready right now to be a starting pitcher, because she possesses a variety of pitches, very good movement and poise in the circle. She’s played a lot in high-level travel ball and with the USA Softball program, so she enters UT with a lot of solid experience.” Once again one of the most valuable players on the team because of her versatility will be Melissa Brown. A junior out of Valencia, Calif., she is capable of playing virtually any infield position as witnessed by her 27 career games at second base, 30 career contests at shortstop and 11 nods at third base during the 2011 campaign. Last season Brown hit .292 overall with a pair of doubles, a HR and 11 RBIs, while tallying four multi-RBI and two multi-hit efforts. Known more for her exploits in the pitching circle (49-22 career record, 2.91 ERA in 467.0 innings) over her initial three seasons at Rocky Top, senior Cat Hosfield is undergoing a move to first base for 2012, providing vital depth behind Tarango. Despite just eight career at-bats at UT, Hosfield has long demonstrated a lot of pop in her bat during practice, equally capable of lacing a line drive or driving the ball out of the park. Another freshman who could see time on the infield, but will likely be one of the first summoned in as a pinch runner because of her impressive speed, Trainer arrives at UT from out of Brentwood, Tenn. As a senior short-stop at Ravenwood H.S. in 2010, she was tabbed to The Tennessean’s All-Mid State Team as well as the District 11-AAA Most Valuable Player after hitting .435, to go along with a .500 on-base percentage, 48 runs scored, 49 singles, three doubles and a triple, while setting her school’s single-season (40-for-40 on steals) and career records for thefts. “Hannah is a real pleasant surprise for us,” Ralph Weekly said. “She wasn’t recruited heavily, but has proven to be a very fast, smart player who possesses solid defensive ability and a good bat. She should receive playing time as she progresses within our program.” With last season’s everyday catcher making the move to center field in

2012, the starting job behind the plate looks to be in the hands of Escondido, Calif., native and rookie Akamine. She is the third of a trio of sisters to play Division I colle-giate softball, joining her siblings former Arizona pitcher Sarah Akamine and current Penn State senior pitcher/utility player Lisa Akamine. Having played at catcher, shortstop and in the outfield during her interscholastic career, she recorded stat totals of .306 with seven RBIs as a freshman (2008), .389 with five HR’s and 20 RBIs as a sophomore (2009) and .353 with five HR’s and 29 RBIs during her senior campaign (2011) at Escondido H.S. “Hannah is a very good catcher who possesses a very strong arm and a lot of pop in her bat,” Ralph Weekly said. “During the fall season she cut down numerous runners attempting to steal and even hit a grand slam that proved the big blow in a comeback victory. She will benefit from the experience of our returning catchers: seniors Ashley Andrews and Shelby Burchell.” Both Andrews and Burchell are expected to help carry the load behind the plate this season, while also contributing elsewhere around the diamond. The for-mer could be called upon for duty on the infield as well as her expected time in the outfield, while the latter could see action in right field, at first base or in the des-ignated player position. An in-state product out of Columbia, Tenn., senior Burchell demonstrated impressive power during the 2011 campaign by blasting 15 HR’s while hitting .325 overall with 54 RBIs. She recorded 17 multi-RBI and 12 multi-hit efforts and provided perhaps the moment of the season with her eighth-inning, walk-off HR to top #8 Georgia in the SEC Tournament Championship Game, 6-5 (8 inn.). Having played in all 61 games as a junior with 53 starts behind the plate and two at shortstop, Andrews hit .232 with 30 runs scored, two doubles, a triple, nine

A 2011 first team Louisville/Slugger/NFCA All-American, Lauren Gibson (2010-present) led the Southeastern Conference in hitting (counting league contests only) by posting a .451 average against SEC competition. Overall, she hit .420 with a team-best 13 doubles to go along with eight HR’s and 63 RBIs.

thefts and 19 RBIs. The Tumwater, Wash., native has long been looked to for her leadership and experience as witnessed by having drawn playing time in 182 of 184 possible games during her time at Rocky Top. A native of Camden, Tenn., junior Morgan Fowler is again listed as a utility player on the roster because of her defensive versatility and provides even more depth at the catching position. She drew playing time in six games for the Orange & White in 2011 while receiving four at-bats as a pinch hitter. She even contributed her initial home run as a Lady Vol, a two-run shot, in an 18-0 (5 inn.) rout of ETSU.

OUTFIELD/DESIGNATED PLAYER: Plenty of options abound in the outfield for the 2011 campaign, despite the loss of an All-American and All-SEC-caliber player in longtime center fielder Kelly Grieve from last year’s squad. Returning to anchor the group in right is Dotson, a 2010 Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American and a top 25 finalist for the 2011 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year trophy. After spending her initial campaign receiving the majority of her play-ing time at either first base or DP, sophomore Melissa Davin is expected to take over from Chavanne as the everyday starter in left, while Andrews should begin the season in center. A promising duo in junior Whitney Hammond and sophomore Tory Lewis as well as defensive standout senior Holly Baker will be expected to provide support in the battle for playing time at the position. Despite battling a right knee injury as a sophomore, Dotson managed to put up impressive numbers on her way to Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region honors. The Savannah, Ga., native led UT and ranked fifth in the SEC in RBIs with 64, while hitting .401 with eight doubles, four triples and 10 HR’s. She started 59 of 61 games for the Big Orange in 2011, reaching safely by hit or walk in 49 of those 59 match-ups. Dotson posted 21 multi-hit and 17 multi-RBI efforts and even broke a 15-year-old single-game school mark with nine RBIs in a 16-2 (6 inn.) rout of Tennessee State. In addition to her usual starting position in right, Dotson is also expected to serve as the DP on occasion. Davin contributed a .306 mark as a rookie, playing in 43 games with 31 starts at either third base, first base or in the DP role. The Fresno, Calif., prod-uct added 17 runs scored, two doubles, a triple, three HR’s and 17 RBIs, while posting seven multi-hit and five multi-RBI contests. She often responded big in pressure situations as witnessed by her SEC Freshman of the Week effort (.500 on 7-for-14, two doubles, a triple, a HR and six RBIs) in consecu-tive road sweeps at #2 Georgia and Ole Miss and with her two-out, pinch-hit, RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning to help Tennessee complete a rally from a 4-0 deficit into a 4-4 tie against South Carolina (UT eventually won 5-4). As a sophomore Hammond managed a solid .367 batting average (11-for-30) with 16 runs scored over 38 games. Her finest effort of the campaign came during a rare start in left against #1 Alabama, as she went 2-for-3 at the dish with her first career double. A native of Chattanooga, Tenn., much as her teammate Hammond, Lewis drew time in 43 contests in 2011 with 10 starts, hitting .219 overall with 18 runs scored, nine thefts and an RBI. A 2.7 player to first base, she will often be called on to utilize her speed on the basepaths. Often the player summoned into the outfield as a defensive replacement late in a game, Baker saw action in 47 match-ups for the Big Orange last year, scoring eight runs and stealing four bases, and has now partici-pated in 135 total contests at Tennessee. PITCHING: Tennessee can look to pitching as an expected area of strength, starting out 2012 with all three pitchers that secured each of UT’s 49 victories last season returning. Add to that mix a pair of promising freshmen (Tarango and Fagan), and both the Weeklys and pitching coach Marty McDaniel appear to have the make-up of a solid staff for years to come at Rocky Top. Ellen Renfroe made quite a statement during her first season in the Orange & White in 2011. The Jackson, Tenn., native secured Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American and All-Southeast Region honors and was chosen as both All-SEC and the SEC Freshman of the Year after posting a 26-7 overall record with a 1.50 ERA and 259 K’s in 201.0 innings of work. The 6-0 right hander managed three victories over teams rated either #1 or #2 in the national polls (#1 Alabama, #2 UCLA, #2 Georgia), led the SEC in ERA (counting SEC games only) at 1.42 and was chosen as the SEC Tournament Most Valuable Player after going 3-0 with a 0.76 ERA during Tennessee’s run to its second all-time league tourney title. A year after erupting on the scene with a 31-win campaign while leading the Big Orange to its fourth WCWS, Ivy Renfroe continued her solid work in the circle by going 19-4 overall with 157 strikeouts in 152.1 innings and lowered her ERA from 2.41 as a rookie to

2.07 as a sophomore. The Jackson, Tenn., product even fired her second and third career no-hitters, blanking Mississippi State during league play and Liberty at the NCAA Knoxville Regional. The 6-0 right hander posted high-profile triumphs during 2011 on the road at #2 Georgia, at #21 LSU and in NCAA action with a 7-0 blanking of #19 Georgia Tech. Despite an expectation of redshirting in 2012 because of injury, Fagan brings a lot of promise to Rocky Top out of Cornersville H.S. in Cornersville, Tenn. The 6-0 right handed pitcher/first baseman helped lead her high school program to three third-place finishes at the 2008, 2009 and 2011 TSSAA Class A State Girls’ Softball Tournaments as well as to a trio of TSSAA Sectional (2008, 2009, 2011), two Region 6-A titles (2008 & 2009) and four straight District 11-A championships (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011). Fagan picked up numerous honors following both her junior and senior campaigns (2010, 2011), including consecutive nods to the MTSCA All-Mid State First Team, two selections as TSSAA All-District 11-A and back-to-back District 11-A Most Valuable Player accolades. “Haley is a very good pitcher, a good hitter and first baseman who had some injuries after her final high school season and is recovering,” Ralph Weekly said. “She spent the fall season in rehab, and I expect she will take a medical redshirt this year.” SCHEDULE: The schedule created at Tennessee by Ralph and Karen Weekly is always a daunting task, and 2012 will be no different as a number of highly-rated teams are on the slate prior to entering the always rug-ged SEC schedule. Always believing in challenging their squad to pre-pare them for postseason action, the Weeklys have their Lady Vol squad slated to face four of the eight participants in last year’s Women’s College World Series (defending national champion and preseason No. 1

Arizona State, Alabama, Florida and California), six ‘11 NCAA Super Regional squads and 16 teams that received berths into last year’s NCAA Field of 64. As always the early season tournament slate will see Tennessee travel from coast-to-coast during February, before again hosting an early-March event at Sherri Parker Lee Softball Stadium. The Big Orange’s campaign kicks-off at the high profile Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz. During its stay over Feb. 9-12, UT is scheduled to face a daunting slate of six opponents, including the defending national cham-pions and host school, Arizona State, 2011 WCWS participant California, 2011 NCAA Tournament teams Texas Tech, San Diego State and Western Michigan and a tough UCSB squad that played the Lady Vols close during a 2-0 defeat last February 24 at the Cathedral City Classic. From there it’s off to Austin, Texas, for the Time Warner Invitational (Feb. 17-19) where Tennessee will play Illinois, Pittsburgh and home-standing Texas before starting seeded bracket play. UT wraps up its early season travels with a return to the annual NFCA Leadoff Classic for the first time since 2008 at a new location in Clearwater, Fla. During its stay in “The Sunshine State,” the Big Orange will battle NCAA squads Georgia Tech and Illinois State as well as Winthrop, Hofstra and

Massachusetts. With the road trips out of the way it’s finally back to Knoxville to christen the home schedule on Feb. 29, with a doubleheader against Georgia Southern before hosting the annual Tennessee Classic for the fifth straight season. During the home tournament at Lee Softball Stadium, UT will bring in NCAA Tournament teams Memphis and Louisville in addition to facing ETSU, Middle Tennessee, Murray State and for the second straight year, the Dutch National Team. The rugged SEC slate finally gets underway over March 9-11 in Knoxville as 2011 WCWS national finalist Florida comes to town for a three-game series. Other league series to be contested at Lee Stadium in 2012 include Kentucky (March 30-April 1, three games), Georgia (April 4, doubleheader), LSU (April 13-15, three games) and Ole Miss (April 27-29, three games). The Orange & White road schedule in conference action includes visits to Arkansas (March 16-18, three games), 2011 WCWS participant Alabama (March 21, doubleheader), Mississippi State (March 23-25, three games), Auburn (April 6-8, three games) and South Carolina (April 20-22, three games). Two non-conference mid-week match-ups are on the docket during SEC play with Radford and Memphis visiting Knoxville on April 10 and April 17, respectively. Once the regular-season concludes, the annual SEC Tournament will be contested over May 10-12 In Tuscaloosa, Ala. The NCAA Tournament schedule opens at campus sites over May 17-20 with NCAA Regionals and follows with the best-of-three NCAA Super Regionals from May 24-27. The annual Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla., will be played from May 31-June 6 at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City.

A top 10 finalist for the prestigious 2011 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year award and a two-time All-American as an outfield-er/third baseman, Raven Chavanne (2010-pres-ent) won the SEC’s batting title last season with a .455 average. This year, the Thousand Oaks, Calif., native is expected to take over as the everyday third baseman.

One of three returning 2011 NFCA All-Americans for the Lady Vols this season, Ellen Renfroe (2011-present) made quite a mark during her rookie campaign at Rocky Top. The SEC Freshman of the Year was 26-7 overall with a 1.50 ERA and beat three teams rated either #1 or #2 in 2011 (#1 Alabama, #2 UCLA, #2 Georgia).

RALPH WEEKLYCO-HEAD COACH

At 1,015 career victories and counting venturing into his 25th year as a collegiate head coach, Ralph Weekly enters his 11th season at Tennessee with a prestigious new accolade to include on his already impres-sive resume. The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) honored his efforts throughout a distinguished, three-decade career that has spanned from his time in the U.S. Air Force through stops at Pacific Lutheran, Chattanooga and now Tennessee,

with a 2011 induction into the NFCA Hall of Fame. Voted in by his coaching peers and with the organization consisting of just 49 previous inclusions, Weekly joined Ithaca Head Coach Deb Pallozzi in ceremonies at the annual NFCA Convention in Las Vegas, Nev., in Dec. of 2011.

Looking at his career from just a Tennessee standpoint, the honor would certainly appear well deserved. During their first 10 seasons at the University of Tennessee, Weekly and his wife, Karen, have transformed the Lady Vols from a program searching for an identity into a formidable Southeastern Conference and national contender.

Taking over the reins at UT following a 24-35 campaign in 2001, the Weeklys have long since improved the Orange & White’s fortunes. They guided the Lady Vols through a three-year span from 2005-07 that saw the Big Orange top the 60-win plateau all three times and post both a runner-up finish (2007) and consecutive third-place national finishes at the Women’s College World Series (2005, 2006).

During the 2010 campaign the Weeklys molded one of the youngest, if not the youngest, teams in the country into a 2010 WCWS participant that ended the year rated No. 3 in the country in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll after a third-place nation-al finish. The duo has now led the Tennessee program to a staggering 514 wins since entering the league prior to the 2002 season, an average of over 51 wins per year, and four WCWS berths over the last seven campaigns.

Starting off the 2011 season with a preseason rating of No. 4 in the USA Today/NFCA Coaches poll, boasting 13 returning letter-winners from the ‘10 WCWS squad and bringing in the ESPN/Rise No. 1-rated recruiting class, Weekly helped guide the Lady Vols to a 49-12 overall record, the program’s second SEC Tournament crown and an eighth consecutive berth to NCAA Regionals. The 2011 Tennessee squad set a new program record for single-season HR’s with a staggering 69 to crush the previous high of 52 that was set back in 1996 and equaled in both 2002 & 2005. The Big Orange also led all of NCAA Division I in hitting with a .348 team batting average, was seventh in the country in scoring at 6.87 runs per game and 11th in fielding percentage (.974).

While the UT squad ultimately fell in the title round of the 2011 Knoxville Regional, a site that many experts deemed the toughest in the country, to eventual WCWS team Oklahoma State, Tennessee still boasted numerous accolades. Weekly picked up his incredible 1,000th career victory on April 10 with a 9-0 (5 inn.) win at Ole Miss. Sophomores Lauren Gibson (.420 avg., eight HR’s, 63 RBI’s) and Raven Chavanne (.455 avg., 32 RBI’s, 33 stolen bases) as well as freshman Ellen Renfroe (26-7 record, 1.50 ERA, 259 K’s in 201 innings) reaped Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American honors, while Chavanne was also selected as a Capital One Academic All-American. Sophomore Kat Dotson (.401 avg., 10 HR’s, 64 RBI’s) joined that trio in receiving a Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region selection, and Renfroe was tabbed as the SEC Freshman of the Year. Chavanne ended the year as the SEC’s batting average champion counting all contests at .455 while Gibson won the SEC batting title counting league match-ups only at .451. Ellen Renfroe was the SEC ERA champion counting just league contests with a 1.42 ERA.

Following the season Chavanne, Dotson, Gibson and Kelly Grieve (.376 avg., 37 RBI’s, 21 stolen bases) were each invited to try out for the 2011 USA Softball Women’s Senior National Team, although Dotson was forced to withdraw prior to the selection camp because of an injury. By being chosen to the final team, Gibson and Grieve became the second and third Lady Vols all-time (Monica Abbott) to join the presti-gious squad.

The 2010 slate proved a magical ride for an incredibly young squad made up of 19 players, including a total of 15 freshmen and sophomores. The Lady Vols registered a 49-15 overall record (making it eight straight 40+ win seasons) and truly peaked at the right time, rolling through their first seven games of the NCAA Tournament on the way to the program’s fourth WCWS berth and another third place national finish. Along the way in NCAA action, Tennessee swept Ball State, Virginia and Louisville dur-ing the Knoxville Regional, ended No. 2 Michigan’s two-year, 36-game home winning streak by sweeping two consecutive contests in the NCAA Ann Arbor Super Regionals and opened the WCWS with consecutive victories over No. 3 Arizona (9-0, 5 inn.) and No. 9 Georgia (7-5) before being eliminated by the Wildcats just one win from a berth in the best-of-three championship series.

The youthful 2010 squad was guided by a quartet of upperclassmen, including senior catcher Tiffany Huff (NFCA All-South Region choice, .312 avg., seven HR’s, 45 RBIs), first baseman Erinn Webb (.318 NCAA Tourney avg., nine total HR’s, 34 RBIs) and designated player Nicole Kajitani (three doubles, three HR’s, 22 RBIs) as well as junior center field speedster Kelly Grieve (.373 avg., 12 doubles, 30 RBIs, 26 thefts). The team was bolstered, however, by a myriad of high-profile freshmen including Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American outfielders Raven Chavanne (.455 avg., 64 runs, 95 hits,

26 RBIs, 37 steals) and Kat Dotson (SEC First-Team selection and Co-Freshman of the Year, .391 avg. 54 runs, 66 hits, 37 RBIs, 29 thefts), NFCA All-Southeast Region choices -- pitcher Ivy Renfroe (31-6 record, 2.41 ERA, 15 complete games, 235 K’s in 232.1 IP) and third baseman Jessica Spigner (.350 avg., 14 doubles, eight HR’s, 58 RBIs) and SEC All-Freshman second baseman Lauren Gibson (.297 avg., eight doubles, six HR’s, 39 RBIs).

During the 2009 season, Tennessee continued its seven-year string of 40+ win campaigns by putting up a 40-18-1 overall record. Once again the Big Orange earned a berth into the NCAA Tournament, the program’s sixth straight, falling in the NCAA Regionals. Led by the offensive production of Second Team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American Huff (.399 avg., 13 doubles, eight HR’s and 67 RBIs), freshman All-Southeast region selection Spigner (UT freshman record 14 HR’s) and sophomore All-Southeast Region choice Grieve (.393 avg., 79 hits, 39 stolen bases) as well as 28 victories in the circle from rookie right-hander Cat Hosfield, UT downed such foes as No. 21 Massachusetts, No. 6 Oklahoma, No. 18 LSU and No. 8 Georgia during the year.

The 2008 campaign was a success as the Weeklys guided the Big Orange to a fifth consecutive 50-win season at 50-16 overall and a fifth straight berth into the NCAA Tournament Field of 64. UT advanced to the championship game of its home-hosted NCAA Regional but dropped a 4-2 decision to eventual WCWS-participant Virginia Tech.

Under their tutelage, senior third baseman Tonya Callahan (.465 avg., 62 RBIs) broke the school record for single-season home runs with 16 in 2008 on the way to being chosen as Tennessee’s second consecutive SEC Player of the Year and a finalist for both the USA Softball National Player of the Year trophy and the Honda Award for Softball while reaping UT’s 15th Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-America honor since 2004.

The 2007 season was the benchmark by which all future Lady Vol teams will be compared as the squad finished 63-8 for a new program-best winning percentage of .887. A third-straight trip to the WCWS ended with Tennessee becoming the first Southeastern Conference program to reach the best-of-three NCAA Championship Series, eventually finishing as national runner-up with two wins over No. 4 Arizona and triumphs against No. 6 Northwestern and No. 7 Texas A&M. UT spent a record 11 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll, becoming the first SEC school to reach the lofty top ranking in the league’s softball history.

Four players were chosen as Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Americans in 2007 as Monica Abbott, Lindsay Schutzler, India Chiles and Callahan each garnered national honors. Abbott also picked up the prestigious USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year award and the Women’s Sports Foundation’s “Team Sport Athlete of the Year” trophy after registering a 50-5 record with a 0.68 ERA on the year. Chiles was the SEC’s Player of the Year after hitting .459 with 44 stolen bases, while Abbott was the SEC’s Pitcher of the Year. The Lady Vols led NCAA Division I in fielding percent-age, winning percentage and team ERA in 2007, while picking up its first SEC regular-season title with a 23-4 league mark. For their efforts the Weeklys were chosen as the South Division Speedline Coaches of the Year, for the second time in three seasons, and as the SEC Coaches of the Year.

In 2006, the Weeklys guided the Lady Vols to a then-program-best single-season winning percentage of .836 after tallying a 61-12 record, UT’s initial SEC Tournament title and WCWS victories over #1 UCLA, eventual national champion No. 3 Arizona and No. 9 Arizona State. Tennessee also led NCAA Division I in hitting by posting a stag-gering .342 team batting average. Pupils Sarah Fekete and Abbott led the country in batting average and pitching victories, respectively, while five Lady Vols were chosen first-team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Americans.

The tools and chemistry were thought to be in place for success heading into the 2005 campaign, but youth abounded for UT with a roster completely devoid of a single senior. However, the 2005 season saw Tennessee reap its initial NCAA Regional and Super Regional titles and WCWS berth, tie a then-national record with 67 wins, finish third in the nation in both national polls, garner an impressive four Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-America selections and break a long-standing national mark for single-season shutouts with 51. A Super Regional sweep over No. 4 Stanford in Palo Alto, Calif., and WCWS victories over perennial national stalwarts Arizona, Alabama and eventual national champion Michigan proved that Tennessee, under the direc-tion of the Weeklys, was officially a power to be reckoned with in the softball world. For their efforts the UT coaches were chosen as the 2005 Speedline South Region Coaching Staff of the Year.

In 2004, the club notched a then school-record 55 victories on its way to its first Eastern Division title in five years and its initial trip to NCAA Regionals since 1999. Ralph and Karen were honored as the SEC Co-Coaches of the Year as UT finished with a final ranking of 16th from ESPN.com/USA Softball and boasted its first All-American in freshman hurler Abbott. The 6-3 lefthander registered a staggering 582 K’s and 45 victories in her initial campaign at Rocky Top.

Tennessee continued its upward movement in the SEC standings in 2003 and notched then the second-most victories in school history with a 45-25 mark. Despite being overlooked for a spot in the 64-team NCAA field, the Lady Vols made their first appearance at the SEC Tournament in four years and eliminated top-seeded and seventh-ranked Georgia and Auburn before being ousted by WCWS participant Alabama.

Year one of the Weeklys’ rebuilding effort proved to be a preview of better things to

come for the Big Orange, as the tandem directed the squad to a 35-25-1 overall record in 2002 and the club’s first winning season since 1999. Having lost the squad’s top four hitters from the previous campaign and with their projected pitching ace facing a reduced schedule in the circle due to a torn ligament in her elbow, expectations were minimal. After being picked last in the Eastern Division, Tennessee responded with the best start in the program’s seven-year existence at 21-6-1.

Under Ralph’s watchful eye in the batting cages, Adrianna Wilson capped off an outstanding senior campaign by being named to the 2002 NFCA All-South Region team. Chosen to the organization’s second unit as a rookie in ’99, the Cypress, Calif., native joined Carrie Swinford (1997, 1999) as the lone UT players to reap all-region accolades twice in her career. A first-team choice in her final season, Wilson became UT’s initial all-region honoree since 1999.

On June 19, 2001, University of Tennessee Women’s Athletics Director Joan Cronan charted a new course for the Lady Vol softball program when she announced the Weeklys as the program’s co-head coaches. Since that day, the duo has worked tire-lessly toward building UT’s reputation on the diamond. “What they accomplished during their tenure at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, including five reg-ular-season Southern Conference championships and five SoCon Tournament titles, speaks for itself,” said Cronan. “They have a passion for the sport of softball and a love for the state of Tennessee that will be an asset as they attempt to turn things around. This combination should help take our program to the next level in collegiate softball.”

The Weeklys arrived in Knoxville after shaping Chattanooga’s softball team into one of the top programs in the South upon their arrival in 1995. The tandem piloted the Lady Mocs to consecutive NCAA appearances in 2000 and 2001, the first two automatic NCAA Regional berths ever offered to the Southern Conference champion.

In 2001, UTC sported an overall record of 49-18 and was an impressive 4-1 against SEC programs.

After accepting the co-head coaching position at UT, Ralph Weekly announced in August 2001 that he would be stepping down from his post as USA Softball National Teams Director, a position he had held since 1999. Weekly began his administrative stint with USA Softball in August 1998 after taking a leave of absence as head coach at Chattanooga.

Weekly, who is nationally and internationally recognized for his skills as a hit-ting clinician, was responsible for a variety of national team duties, including the general management of USA Softball’s elite level international programs for both men and women. He also served as a liaison to the ASA National Team Selection Committee that is responsible for the elite level selection process for Olympic, Pan American Games and other USA Softball National Teams. In the summer of 2009, Weekly accepted a position on the USA Softball Women’s National Teams Selection Committee where he will again assist in choosing the members to the prestigious U.S. softball squads from 2010-12.

Between 1998 and 2001, Weekly worked closely with the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) to ensure that USA Softball received adequate funding for its programs and was fully equipped with the technical assistance it needed. He was also instrumental in securing the funding for the development of a state-of-the-art practice facility at the ARCO Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. This facility has been used by all of the USA Softball National Teams and will continue to be an integral part of USA Softball’s success.

Success has followed Weekly throughout his career, especially as a coach for USA Softball Women’s National Teams. Weekly served as the hitting coach and Team Leader for the 2000 U.S. Olympic team that claimed its second-consecutive gold medal in Sydney, Australia. Earlier, he served as the hitting and third-base coach for the U.S. contingent that brought home the gold at the ’96 Summer Games in Atlanta.

Under his direction, USA Softball captured the gold medal at the 1994 Pan American Games qualifier in Guatemala. He was an assistant on teams that won addi-tional gold medals at the 1994 World Games in Nova Scotia, the 1995 Pan American Games in Argentina, the 1996 South Pacific Classic in Australia, the 1997 Canada Cup, the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Canada, the inaugural 1999 America Cup in San Diego, the 2000 European Championship in Rome, Italy, and the 2001 Hawaii Cup in Honolulu.

As a coach and National Teams Director for USA Softball, Weekly has appeared in 13 international tournaments, winning a gold medal every time. His international coach-ing record is a sterling 130-15 (.897). He is the only person in collegiate softball to have served on a pair of Olympic gold-medal-winning coaching staffs and to have claimed two national championships as a head coach. He also directed all facets of the USA Men’s National Team from 1999-2001.

He has developed High Performance Seminars funded by the USOC to estab-lish consistent coaching philosophies for youth coaches throughout the world. In addition, Weekly has produced several instructional tapes through USA Softball, including “Fundamentals for Future Champions.” In December of 2006, Ralph and co-head coach Karen Weekly released a new instructional video entitled “Hitting the Tennessee Way.” In April 2012 the Weeklys will issue a new book entitled “High-Scoring Softball,” the definitive guide to offensive play.

He guided the women’s East team to a gold medal at the 1994 U.S. Olympic Festival in St. Louis, Mo., one year after taking the North team to a bronze medal in the Festival held in San Antonio, Texas.

Previously, Weekly was the head coach at Pacific Lutheran in Tacoma, Wash., from 1986-94, where he compiled a 310-93 (.769) record and became one of the most successful coaches in NAIA history. In his nine years at PLU, his teams made eight trips to the NAIA Tournament, returning with national championships in 1988 and 1992, and a second-place finish in 1990. His 1991 team was ranked first in the country throughout the season.

Weekly was named the National Softball Coaches Association (NSCA) Small College Coach of the Year in 1993 and was a two-time NAIA National Coach of the Year in 1988 and 1992. Incredibly, he was chosen as the NAIA West Region Coach of the Year eight times in a nine-year span, covering the 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1993 and 1994 campaigns.

During the fall, he also served as an assistant football coach at PLU from 1986-93 under legendary head coach Frosty Westerling. During his time spent working on the

gridiron, he helped the Lutes to three national title games and a pair of NAIA national championships (1987 & 1993). In his last year he was able to share the title-winning experience with his son Marc Weekly, an All-American quarterback and a player responsible for 10,977 yards of career total offense.

Weekly began his coaching career in the United States Air Force, where he accumu-lated many championships at a variety of levels. He piloted squads to three All-Armed Forces World Titles, seven state titles at the United States Softball Association (USSA) level and three USSA Western World Championships.

He has served as the chairperson of the Gatorade High School Player of the Year Selection Committee and has published numerous articles in softball magazines and journals. In addition, Weekly has been a featured speaker at the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) national convention and at various national baseball and softball clinics around the nation. He currently serves as the co-director of the Cherry Hill, N.J., Coaches Clinic which is the largest such event in the country.

Weekly is the founder and director of National Hitting Camps, where he has taught thousands of youths in all 48 of the contiguous states and throughout Canada over the past 20+ years. He was also the Director of ASA Gold Medal Camps that featured hands-on training from U.S. Olympic staff and players from 1996-2001. Well-respected internationally as a clinician, he has represented the USA in clinics in Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Italy, New Zealand and Taiwan.

Having retired from the United States Air Force in 1986, Weekly was the com-mander of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations at McChord Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., in his last duty assignment. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry for outstanding service in the Vietnam War.

Weekly is a 1973 graduate of Arizona State University and has completed course work for a master’s degree in international relations from Pacific Lutheran.

KAREN WEEKLYCO-HEAD COACH

A 15-year collegiate softball head coaching veteran boasting 737 career wins, Karen Weekly preps to enter her 11th season with her husband Ralph at the helm of the Lady Volunteer softball program. Having guided UT to a stag-gering 514 victories and four top three national finishes in the annual Women’s College World Series (2005, 2006, 2007, 2010), since arriving to resuscitate the program prior to the 2002 season, is con-

crete proof that tireless recruiting and solid coaching by the experienced Weeklys and their staff have provided huge dividends to the UT softball pro-gram. Starting off the 2011 season with a preseason rating of No. 4 in the USA Today/NFCA Coaches poll, boasting 13 returning letter-winners from the ‘10 WCWS squad and bringing in the ESPN/Rise No. 1-rated recruiting class, Weekly helped guide the Lady Vols to a 49-12 overall record, the program’s second Southeastern Conference Tournament crown and an eighth consecu-tive berth to NCAA Regionals. The 2011 Tennessee squad set a new program record for single-season HR’s with a staggering 69 to crush the previous high of 52 that was set back in 1996 and equaled in both 2002 & 2005. The Big Orange also led all of NCAA Division I in hitting with a .348 team batting aver-age, was seventh in the country in scoring at 6.87 runs per game and 11th in fielding percentage (.974). While the UT squad ultimately fell in the title round of the 2011 Knoxville Regional, a site that many experts deemed the toughest in the country, to eventual WCWS team Oklahoma State, Tennessee still boasted numerous accolades. Sophomores Lauren Gibson (.420 avg., eight HR’s, 63 RBI’s) and Raven Chavanne (.455 avg., 32 RBI’s, 33 stolen bases) as well as freshman Ellen Renfroe (26-7 record, 1.50 ERA, 259 K’s in 201 innings) reaped Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American honors, while Chavanne was also selected as a Capital One Academic All-American. Sophomore Kat Dotson (.401 avg., 10 HR’s, 64 RBI’s) joined that trio in receiving a Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region selection, and Renfroe was tabbed as the SEC Freshman of the Year. Chavanne ended up as the SEC’s batting average champion count-ing all contests at .455 while Gibson won the SEC batting title counting league match-ups only at .451. Ellen Renfroe was the SEC ERA champion counting just league contests with a 1.42 ERA. Following the season Chavanne, Dotson, Gibson and Kelly Grieve (.376 avg., 37 RBI’s, 21 stolen bases) were each invited to try out for the 2011 USA Softball Women’s Senior National Team, although Dotson was forced to with-draw prior to the selection camp because of an injury. By being chosen to the final team, Gibson and Grieve became the second and third Lady Vols all-time (Monica Abbott) to join the prestigious squad. The 2010 campaign proved a magical ride for an incredibly young Tennessee squad made up of 19 players, including a total of 15 freshmen and sophomores. The Lady Vols registered a 49-15 overall record (making it eight straight 40+ win seasons) and truly peaked at the right time, rolling through their first seven games of the NCAA Tournament on the way to the program’s fourth WCWS berth and another third place national finish. Along the way in NCAA action, Tennessee swept Ball State, Virginia and Louisville during the Knoxville Regional, ended No. 2 Michigan’s two-year, 36-game home win-ning streak by sweeping two consecutive contests in the NCAA Ann Arbor Super Regionals and opened the WCWS with consecutive victories over No. 3 Arizona (9-0, 5 inn.) and No. 9 Georgia (7-5) before being eliminated by the Wildcats just one win from a berth in the best-of-three championship series. The youthful 2010 squad was guided by a quartet of upperclassmen, including senior catcher Tiffany Huff (NFCA All-South Region choice, .312 avg., seven HR’s, 45 RBIs), first baseman Erinn Webb (.318 NCAA Tourney avg., nine total HR’s, 34 RBIs) and designated player Nicole Kajitani (three doubles, three HR’s, 22 RBIs) as well as junior center field speedster Kelly Grieve (.373 avg., 12 doubles, 30 RBIs, 26 thefts). The team was bolstered, however, by a myriad of high-profile freshmen including Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-American outfielders Raven Chavanne (.455 avg., 64 runs, 95 hits, 26 RBIs, 37 steals) and Kat Dotson (SEC First-Team selection and Co-Freshman of the Year, .391 avg., 54 runs, 66 hits, 37 RBIs, 29 thefts), All-Southeast Region choices -- pitcher Ivy Renfroe (31-6 record, 2.41 ERA, 15 complete games, 235 K’s in 232.1 IP) and third baseman Jessica Spigner (.350 avg., 14 doubles, eight HR’s, 58 RBIs) and SEC All-Freshman second baseman Lauren Gibson (.297 avg., eight doubles, six HR’s, 39 RBIs). As a team the powerful Tennessee offense recorded a .321 batting aver-age, scored 6.4 runs-per-game, tied the program record for triples with 19 and blasted 51 HR’s, coming up just one big fly short of tying the school single-season mark. During the 2009 season, Tennessee continued its string of 40+ win cam-paigns by putting up a 40-18-1 overall record. Once again the Big Orange

earned a berth into the NCAA Tournament, the program’s sixth straight, fall-ing in the NCAA Regionals. Led by the offensive production of Second Team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American Tiffany Huff (.399 avg., 13 doubles, eight HR’s and 67 RBIs), freshman All-Southeast region selection Jessica Spigner (UT freshman record 14 HR’s) and sophomore All-Southeast Region choice Kelly Grieve (.393 avg., 79 hits, 39 stolen bases) as well as 28 victories in the circle from rookie right-hander Cat Hosfield, UT downed such foes as No. 21 Massachusetts, No. 6 Oklahoma, No. 18 LSU and No. 8 Georgia during the year. The 2008 campaign was a success as the Weeklys guided the Big Orange to a fifth consecutive 50-win season and a fifth straight berth into the NCAA Tournament Field of 64. UT advanced to the championship game of its home-hosted NCAA Regional but dropped a 4-2 decision to eventual WCWS-participant Virginia Tech. Under their tutelage, senior third baseman Tonya Callahan (.465 avg., 62 RBIs) broke the school record for single-season home runs with 16 on the way to being chosen as Tennessee’s second consecutive SEC Player of the Year and a finalist for both the 2008 USA Softball National Player of the Year trophy and the Honda Award for Softball while reaping UT’s 15th Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-America honor since 2004. Senior shortstop Kenora Posey and freshman infielder Jen Lapicki each earned All-SEC accolades. Karen’s slap-hitting standouts, Lillian Hammond and Kenora Posey, were responsible for .362 and .349 averages, respectively, 96 total runs scored and 67 combined stolen bases. The 2007 season was the benchmark by which all future Lady Vol teams will be compared as the squad finished at 63-8 for a new program-best win percentage of .887. A third-straight trip to the Women’s College World Series ended with Tennessee becoming the first Southeastern Conference program to reach the best-of-three NCAA Championship Series, eventually finishing as national runner-up with two wins over No. 4 Arizona and single triumphs against No. 6 Northwestern and No. 7 Texas A&M. UT spent a record 11 con-secutive weeks at No. 1 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll, becoming the first SEC school to reach the lofty top ranking in the league’s softball history. Four players were chosen as Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Americans in 2007 as Monica Abbott, Lindsay Schutzler, India Chiles and Callahan each garnered national honors. Abbott also picked up the prestigious USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year award and the Women’s Sports Foundation’s Team Sport Athlete of the Year trophy after going 50-5 with a 0.68 ERA on the year. Chiles was the SEC’s Player of the Year after hitting .459 with 44 stolen bases. The Lady Vols led NCAA Division I in fielding percentage, winning percentage and team ERA in 2007 while picking up its first SEC regular-season title. For their efforts the Weeklys were South Division Speedline Coaches of the Year, for the second time in three seasons, and as the SEC Coaches of the Year. Karen Weekly also presided over her 500th career coaching victory on February 24, 2007, when UT downed Michigan State, 3-0, at the Palm Springs Classic in Cathedral City, Calif. Weekly’s tutelage helped guide Tennessee to a then-program-best .836 winning percentage in 2006 at 61-12 overall, a No. 2 national ranking during the regular season and a second consecutive trip to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla., where UT finished third nationally and downed #1 UCLA, #3 Arizona and #9 Arizona State. One of her slap-hitting pupils, senior outfielder Sarah Fekete, led NCAA Division I in batting average at a staggering .500 (110-of-220) as the UT squad combined to lead the country in team hitting at .342. In all three of the top five hitters in the Southeastern Conference by average in 2006 learned under the watchful eye of Karen and co-head coach Ralph Weekly, as Fekete, Chiles (.437) and Schutzler (.409) gave the league statistics a definitive orange tint. Five members of Weekly’s team also were selected as first-team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Americans to lead NCAA Division I in that category. UT also achieved another program-first in ‘06 as the Orange & White raced through the field at the annual SEC Tournament to pick up its first league tournament title with a 3-0 victory over #12 LSU at the UGA Softball Stadium in Athens, Ga. UT hosted the NCAA Regional round at home for the second straight year and added the Super Regionals to the Tyson Park slate after roar-ing through the opening round a perfect 3-0. The Big Orange faced a serious challenge as defending national champion Michigan ventured to Knoxville for the best-of-three Super Regional series. After downing UM 5-3 and then drop-ping a tough 5-1 decision to the Wolverines in game two, UT prevailed 1-0 in the finale to send the Orange and White back to the WCWS. Throughout the Weeklys tenure at Tennessee, the Big Orange have been known for tremendous speed, skyrocketing batting averages and outstanding fielding percentages, as UT led the nation in the latter category in both 2004, 2005 and 2007. The Orange’s and White rapid climb from a 24-win program in 2001 to a national power reached a new peak during a stunning 2005 run to a third-place finish at the Women’s College World Series and a national record-tying 67 victories. UT led the nation in fielding percentage (.982), shutouts (51), strikeouts (787) and victories (67) while setting program marks for runs scored

(404), hits (678) and stolen bases (127) and tying the single-season record for home runs (52). Tennessee’s regular-season efforts permitted the program the opportunity to host the NCAA Regionals at Tyson Park for the first time in UT history. The home field advantage paid dividends as the Lady Vols went 3-0 to advance to NCAA Super Regionals in Palo Alto, Calif., against Stanford. A two-game road sweep over the powerful Pac-10’s Cardinal granted Tennessee its first trip to the WCWS. For their efforts the coaches were chosen as the Speedline South Region Coaching Staff of the Year. The Weeklys were honored as the SEC Coaches of the Year by their peers after directing UT to its first Eastern Division championship since 1999 dur-ing the 2004 campaign. The Orange was awarded the second seed at NCAA Regional No. 6 in Ann Arbor, Mich., and collected its first two victories in just the program’s second trip to NCAAs. The Lady Vols sported an overall mark of 55-16 and captured tournament titles at their own Lady Vol Classic, the New Mexico State Kick-Off Invitational, the Paradise Classic hosted by the University of Hawaii and the State-Line Classic. Tennessee also reached the semifinal round of the SEC Tournament for the second straight time. UT continued to climb the ladder of success in 2003, capturing three tourna-ments and posting several victories over ranked opponents, including league rivals Alabama, Georgia, LSU and South Carolina. Perhaps the most impres-sive breakthrough occurred as the Lady Vols secured the sixth seed for the Southeastern Conference Tournament and matched their top performance at the event with a couple of triumphs while facing elimination. The Orange were involved in a record four extra-inning tilts during their journey to Plant City, Fla., and managed to oust Auburn and the league’s number-one team, Georgia, after dropping regular-season series to the Tigers and Bulldogs. Continued evidence of the team’s progress was shown by a 34-point increase in batting average from 2002 to 2003 under the Weekly regime and a healthy boost to the squad’s power numbers, including the most total bases (787), hits (543), runs batted in (280), runs (310) and doubles (102) since the 1999 edition slugged its way to the Eastern Division crown and NCAA Regional No. 3 in Seattle, Wash. In their debut campaign, the Weeklys presided over the biggest turnaround in UT’s softball history, as the team rebounded from a lackluster 24-35 effort to finish 35-25-1 in 2002. The Lady Vols showed marked improvement in every area – offensively, defensively and in the pitching circle. Despite just one returning starter in her natural position, the rest of the orange-clad play-ers enjoyed a tremendous upswing under the Weeklys’ tutelage. In fact, UT registered a team batting average that was 40 points higher than the previous season and recorded a school-record fielding percentage of .965 after shaving a massive 44 errors off its ’01 figure. In addition, the club’s offensive statistics jumped across the board, including a school-record-tying 52 home runs. Upon arriving in Knoxville, Weekly brought a wealth of experience gained from being an All-America softball player at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash., a national title-winning assistant coach at PLU in 1988 and 1992, and a championship head coach at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga for five seasons. During her tenure, the Lady Mocs claimed five straight Southern Conference regular-season trophies, four SoCon Tournament plaques and the team made successive appearances at the 2000 and 2001 NCAA Regionals. After Karen served as an assistant coach at UTC in 1995 and 1996, the Weeklys combined their efforts to direct the Lady Mocs to the top of the SoCon in their first two campaigns in charge of the program together. The 1997 season featured an overall record of 32-19, while the ’98 edition regis-tered a school-record 47 victories and three players earned first-team All-South Region accolades. While Ralph was on a leave of absence from Chattanooga to handle his Olympic duties in 1999 and 2000, the Lady Mocs’ program continued to make steady improvement under Karen’s tutelage. In her initial season as head coach in ’99, UTC led the SoCon with a .303 batting average and a 1.47 earned run average en route to a school-best 48-18 overall record to go along with a spotless 16-0 mark in regular-season conference play. Weekly guided a record six individuals to first-team All-SoCon accolades that season and Chattanooga became the inaugural team to sweep all of the postseason honors issued by the conference office. In 2000, the Lady Mocs were 47-27 and earned the program’s first NCAA Regional berth by winning three-straight games after a loss to Furman to take the SoCon Tourney and secure the initial automatic bid for the conference into the 48-team regional field. Sent to the No. 1 Regional held in Seattle, Wash., the Mocs fell to Mississippi State, 6-1, before bouncing back to knock out Army, 6-4, in nine innings. The squad would later be eliminated at the event after suffering a 2-1 defeat to nationally-ranked Utah. UTC’s pitching staff was the key to its success, sporting an impressive 1.58 earned run average with every hurler having an ERA of 1.80 or lower. In rolling to a 49-18 overall mark in 2001, including four wins in five out-ings against SEC competition and a triumph over then-third-ranked Alabama in Tuscaloosa, the Weeklys helped the Mocs to another NCAA appearance following Southern Conference regular-season and post-season crowns. Six more Lady Mocs etched their names on the first-team all-league list after UTC racked up an 18-2 ledger in SoCon play and the Weeklys were selected as league Coaches of the Year. Karen was Ralph’s top assistant at Pacific Lutheran from 1987-94 after earn-ing her bachelor’s degree in history and political science magna cum laude from the University in 1987. The duo spearheaded the Lutes to NAIA national championships in 1988 and 1992 and a runner-up finish in 1990. At PLU, where she was known as Karen Kvale, Weekly excelled as a student-athlete. She was named Female Athlete of the Year and led NAIA hit-ters with a .440 batting average during her All-America senior season. Her skills were not limited to the diamond either, as she was a three-year starter on the

basketball team. With a 3.8 grade point average, Weekly was a two-time Academic All-American, garnering honors in 1986 and 1987. In both ’85 and ’86, she was the recipient of the prestigious Pacific Lutheran University Undergraduate Fellow/Division of Social Sciences Award. She later earned her juris doctor degree from the University of Washington’s School of Law in 1990. At Chattanooga, Weekly was an assistant professor in the College of Business Administration from August 1995 until May 2001, where she taught a course entitled the “Legal Environment of Business.” Between 1996-99, she served on the UTC Faculty Committee on Student Rating of Faculty Instruction. In addition, Weekly was an administrative law judge and a member of the school’s Gender Equity Committee from 1996 until her departure from Chattanooga. She remains an administrative law judge at the University of Tennessee. Previously, she was an associate attorney at Grant, Konvalinka & Harrison in Chattanooga from November 1994 to August 1995 after working in a similar capacity at Williams, Kastner & Gibbs in Seattle from September 1990 through November 1994. Weekly holds memberships in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA), where she has held several committee positions, and the Academy of Legal Studies in Business. She is a member of the American Bar Association and is permitted to practice law in the states of Tennessee and Washington. Having traveled all over the nation to spread her knowledge about the sport, Weekly has been a co-owner and director of National Hitting Camps since 1988. She also has been a lead instructor at ASA Elite Hitting Camps in Midland, Texas, and in Oklahoma City, Okla., and has been a featured speaker at several coaching clinics around the country. She has spoken at the “Be the Best You Are” clinic in Cherry Hill, N.J., during each of the last six years, cover-ing such topics as developing power and bat speed, the short game, scouting opponents and developing a rapport between the coach and players. In December 2007, Weekly released a video entitled “The Tennessee Slap Attack,” an instructional tape teaching the fundamentals of slap-hitting. In April 2012 the Weeklys will issue a new book entitled “High-Scoring Softball,” the definitive guide to offensive play. Weekly is currently serving as a member of the coaching pool for the vari-ous teams associated with the prestigious USA Softball program. She traveled to the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., in June 2011 to help with the USA Softball Women’s Senior National Team Selection Camp.

ASSISTANT COACH MARTY MCDANIEL

MARTY McDANIELASSISTANT COACH

Lauded for his teaching ability and his overall knowledge of the game, Marty McDaniel continues to provide his outgoing personality and bound-less enthusiasm to the Lady Vol soft-ball program as an eighth-year assis-tant coach on the staff of Tennessee Co-Head Coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly. A former head coach at

Division II Armstrong Atlantic State University (Ga.), McDaniel’s experi-ence as both a coach and as a men’s fastpitch veteran has been invalu-able to the UT efforts. During his time on the UT softball staff, McDaniel has been vital to the program’s stunning success. His pitching pupils such as standouts Monica Abbott, Megan Rhodes, Ashton Ward, Cat Hosfield, Ivy Renfroe and Ellen Renfroe have helped extend Tennessee’s streak of 40+ win seasons to nine venturing into the 2012 campaign. During his seven years at Tennessee (2005-11) his staffs have led the nation in ERA and strikeouts (2007), set a national record for shutouts (51 in 2005) and helped the Big Orange to 379 total victories, an average of 54 wins-per-season. With the addition of freshman Ellen Renfroe to a Lady Vol staff already made up of returning sister Ivy and Hosfield, the UT pitching staff registered a standout 2011 campaign. The trio combined to rate second in the league in team ERA (1.86) and 23rd in the category over all of NCAA Division I. Ellen Renfroe led the Southeastern Conference in ERA (counting league contests only) with a sterling 1.42 mark on her way to SEC Freshman of the Year accolades and posted a 26-7 overall mark (fourth in the SEC in wins) to go along with a 1.50 ERA and 259 strikeouts over 201 innings. Included in her efforts were a 20-strikeout effort during a 2-1 (10 inn.) victory over #22 Auburn and seven total 10+K contests. Ivy Renfroe finished seventh in the league in triumphs, as part of her 19-4 record, and ninth in ERA (counting all games) at 2.07 while posting 157 K’s in 152.1 frames of effort. The Jackson, Tenn., native also twirled her second (vs. Mississippi State - April 22) and third (vs. Liberty - May 20) career no-hitters during her sophomore cam-paign. As a junior Hosfield added a 4-1 mark with a 2.92 ERA over 38.1 innings of work with 24 strikeouts. Faced with an young and inexperienced staff consisting of return-ing sophomores Cat Hosfield and Jessica Spigner and two incoming freshmen, Ivy Renfroe and Andi Williamson, McDaniel helped the 2010 group settle in to post 49 wins, the league’s fifth-best ERA at 2.78 and 12 shutouts. His new pupil Renfroe truly thrived under his direction, posting a 31-6 mark with a 2.41 ERA, 15 complete games and 235 strikeouts over 232.1 innings of work. She became the first Lady Vol pitcher not named Monica Abbott to win 30 or more games in a single season and post a victory at the annual Women’s College World Series. The 6-0 right hander registered perhaps her finest effort during NCAA Super Regionals at No. 2 Michigan, flirting with a no-hitter for 6.1 frames before settling for a two-hit shutout to end the powerful Wolverines two-year, 36-game home winning streak. Renfroe also three-hit eventual national finalist No. 3 Arizona in UT’s WCWS opener as Tennessee rolled past the Wildcats, 9-0 (5 inn.). Hosfield was solid from the circle in support in 2010, registering a 17-8 overall mark with a 3.27 ERA with six complete games and 130 K’s in 171.1 innings. During her campaign, the Murfreesboro, Tenn., product posted victories over high-profile foes including No. 15 Texas, Illinois State, Ole Miss, Auburn, No. 4 Florida, Louisville and No. 2 Michigan. Typically a third base-man, Spigner recorded a pitching win over Austin Peay and picked up a crucial save during a 5-4 home triumph over No. 9 Georgia, while Williamson allowed just a single tally in five innings of work over three appearances. Rookie righthander Hosfield led the way for the Lady Vol pitching crew in 2009, posting a 28-13 record with six solo shutouts and 221 strikeouts in 257.1 innings of work. She tied for 12th in NCAA Division

I in wins, second in the Southeastern Conference in victories, rated fourth in strikeouts (221) and 11th in opposing batting average (.222), while posting high-profile victories over No. 6 Oklahoma (twice), No. 15 Massachusetts, No. 18 LSU (twice), No. 25 Kansas and Auburn (three wins). Included in her SEC All-Freshman campaign was a hard-fought 2-1 defeat to eventual national champion Washington, during which Hosfield allowed just two runs on seven hits in a duel with 2009 USA Softball National Player of the Year Danielle Lawrie. Forced to look further into the staff as the long ’09 season wore on, he helped senior Danielle Pieroni to an 8-3 mark over 57 innings of work after she entered the year with all of 22.2 frames of collegiate pitching experi-ence. He even helped freshman Spigner, who hadn’t thrown in a pitch in nearly a year, contribute 16 innings, including a big 6-3 win at No. 8 Georgia. His charges in the circle helped guide Tennessee to a fifth consecu-tive 50-win campaign in 2008 while posting 17 shutouts, a 2.10 team ERA and 431 K’s in 437.0 innings of work. Freshman righthander Ward spent the season among the SEC win leaders and finished 25th in NCAA Division I in victories by going 27-5 overall with a team-best 1.88 ERA and 187 strikeouts. Senior Rhodes was responsible for 23 tri-umphs, 213.1 innings of work and 233 K’s. The Nashville, Tenn., native concluded her time wearing the Orange & White firmly entrenched in the Lady Vol top four in career wins, K’s, shutouts, ERA, appearances, starts and winning percentage. Junior Pieroni demonstrated improve-ment in the circle during 2008 by working 19.1 frames and highlight-ing her year with 2.2 innings of scoreless relief in an exhibition contest against the U.S. Olympic Softball Team. During the 2007 drive to a runner-up national finish at the Women’s College World Series, McDaniel helped the Tennessee staff to an NCAA-best 0.88 ERA to go along with 63 wins, 41 shutouts and a national single-season record strikeout-per-seven-inning ratio of 13.55 on 910 combined K’s over 470 innings of work. His pupils in the circle, Abbott and Rhodes, finished first (14.1) and fourth (11.7), respectively, in K-per-seven-inning ratio in the country. Senior Abbott led the way in single-season strikeouts with an NCAA record 724. She completed her stay in the Orange & White as the NCAA career leader in wins (189), strikeouts (2,440), shutouts (112), appearances (253) and innings pitched (1,448.0). Rhodes struck out 186 batters over just 111.2 frames of work while going 13-3 with a 1.50 ERA. The duo also combined to hurl eight no-hitters, including three perfect games (two for Abbott, one for Rhodes). For his efforts, he was named as part of Speedline’s South Region Coaching Staff of the Year for the second time in three seasons (2005). His pitching staff continued their stellar work in the circle during UT’s run to the WCWS in 2006 by leading the league in ERA at 1.12 with a 61-12 overall record, 37 shutouts and 682 strikeouts. Junior All-American Abbott led the nation in victories with 44 and broke the SEC career records for K’s and triumphs during the regular-season after posting a 44-10 mark with 531 K’s. Sophomore Rhodes continued her rapid improvement by going 17-2 overall with a 1.40 ERA and 148 strikeouts in just 120 innings of work. The staff hurled three consecu-tive no-hitters during the title-winning USF adidas Tournament and almost got a fourth straight as a bloop single by UMass in the fifth inning of the championship contest broke up the amazing bid. Working primarily with the pitching and catching positions during the record-setting 2005 campaign, McDaniel instructed a group of hurlers that broke a long-standing national record for shutouts with 51 blankings while helping guide UT’s initial advance into the WCWS. The first-year McDaniel’s charges combined for 67 victories in the circle with an overall ERA of 0.79 and 787 strikeouts in 547.0 innings. Sophomore Abbott became the program’s first two-time, first-team All-American after leading the nation in victories (50), shutouts (34), strikeouts (603) and innings pitched (392.0). Rookie pitcher Rhodes posted 14 victories and 125 K’s on her way to SEC All-Freshman honors. Granted the responsibility of building the softball program at

LADY VOL ASSISTANT COACHESArmstong Atlantic State (Ga.) from its infancy in 1998, McDaniel turned the AASU varsity program into a winning machine that captured its ini-tial Peach Belt Conference championship in 2000, garnered four NCAA Championship berths (2000, 2002, 2003, 2004) and achieved a No. 1 ranking in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) poll dur-ing the 2000 campaign. His conference-winning squad in 2000 picked up an impressive 51 victories against just seven losses and registered an 18-2 league mark in PBC play. With the assistance of four All-Americans, McDaniel’s 2004 AASU squad advanced all the way to the South Atlantic Regional. Record-setting senior pitcher Katya Eronina picked up her second-consecutive first-team NFCA All-America honor while a pair of seniors, Stacey Richardson and Kissy Stepanova, garnered second-team All-America awards. Junior second baseman Stacy Oliver was selected as a third-team All-American. During the 2003 campaign, AASU utilized the pitching of NFCA All-America Eronina, the Division II leader in earned-run-average, to advance to the South Atlantic Region final. The Pirates achieved a final ranking of 16th and completed the season at 41-13 overall. All-Americans Annie Sells and Richardson helped guide the 2002 version of McDaniel’s Pirates to a No. 2-seeding at the South Atlantic Regional and another final ranking of 16th. AASU registered the best won-lost record in Division II with a 40-7 mark while Richardson was the NCAA’s DII home run champion with a school-record 16 round-trippers. The squad finished with a 15-2 mark for a second-place finish in the Peach Belt Conference. The 2000 South Atlantic Coach of the Year, McDaniel has had experi-ence on the Weeklys’ staff before as he joined AASU from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. During his two-plus year stint on the staff of then Head Coach Ralph Weekly, also a U.S. Olympic Assistant Coach, Chattanooga won two Southern Conference Championships. A native of Chattanooga, Tenn., McDaniel received his Bachelor of Science degree from Carson-Newman College in 1989 and also assisted with the baseball team as a coach for two seasons. As a top-rated pitcher, McDaniel has made numerous all-region squads in the sport of men’s fastpitch softball. During 2008 he was honored in a ceremony at Armstong Atlantic State as a coaching inductee into the softball program’s “Wall of Fame.” McDaniel and his wife, the former Kelly Stewart, currently reside in Knoxville, Tenn. The pair have a child, Lindsey Jo, who was born during the 2005 softball campaign.

Hart, who was the director of ath-letics at Florida State University for 12 years from 1995-2007, previously served as Executive Director of Athletics at the University of Alabama. Comprehensive athletic success exemplified Hart’s tenure at Florida State, as a combined 35 ACC Championships were won by 10 different Seminole athletic programs during his tenure. Additionally, the Seminole football team won nine ACC titles and appeared in four national cham-pionship games, winning the 1999 BCS National Championship with a Sugar Bowl victory over Virginia Tech. Men’s outdoor track & field also claimed two national championships during that time, while the baseball program appeared in the College World Series five times and the softball program won nine ACC titles while playing in the 2002 Women’s College World Series. During Hart’s three years at Alabama, the Crimson Tide claimed the 2009 BCS National Championship and individual athletic teams posted a combined eight top-three finishes nationally. He has 20 years of ser-vice as a director of athletics, including eight at East Carolina (1987-95), where he arrived in 1983 after coaching and teaching at the high school following his graduation from Alabama in 1971. Highly respected as a visionary and industry leader, Hart’s career has featured service as the president of both the National Association of Col-legiate Directors of Athletics and the Division 1A Athletics Directors’ As-sociation. A former recipient of the Robert R. Neyland Award honoring lifetime achievement, Hart has also been named by his colleagues as the Athletic Director of the Year for the Southeast Region in both 2000 and 2005. Hart met his wife, the former Pam Humble, while at Alabama. Pam is a 1970 graduate of UA, and the couple has three children: Rick, who serves currently as the athletic director at UT Chattanooga, Jamie and Kelly. The Harts are the grandparents of five grandchildren: Trevor, Caroline, McKin-ley, Olivia and Kingsley.

Page 62: 2012 Tennessee Softball Media Guide

60 TENNESSEE SOFTBALL /// 2012 MEDIA GUIDE

When Tennessee softball embarked on its 2011 campaign, it did so while undergoing a huge youth movement virtually all over the diamond. Gone from the previous squad were seniors Tiffany Huff, Erinn Webb and Nicole Kajitani, who all served key roles during a magical run to a third-place finish at the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla. It’s not to say UT was hurting for talent, the complete opposite in fact, as experience returned at virtually every key position, led by stalwart Kelly Grieve, the longtime outfield captain and lone senior on the 2011 roster. Throughout the season the youth that so blessed the program continued its maturation process on the road to a 49-win season, the program’s second all-time Southeastern Conference Tournament title and a ninth overall berth in NCAA Regionals. While the season ended in an upset at the hands of eventual WCWS-participant #22 Oklahoma State at Lee Softball Stadium, The 2011 offense truly proved to be one of the very best in school history, leading all of NCAA Division I in batting average at .348 and rating as the second-highest mark in UT annals behind only the 1996 squad that played the year prior to the SEC beginning its sponsoring of the sport. The Lady Vol “Bomb Squad” also mashed the ball at an unprec-edented rate, blasting a school record 69 home runs, led by Jessica Spigner’s 16 HR’s and Shelby Burchell 15 big flies, far surpassing the old mark of 52 HR’s registered by the 1996, 2002 and 2005 teams. UT also recorded the highest team on-base percentage (.435) and second-highest slugging percentage mark (.541) in the Big Orange record books, while scoring at a 6.9 run-per-game clip and swiping 131 bases. Tennessee also continued its usual strong defensive play, finishing the year ranked 11th in the country in field-ing percentage at .974. Individually, the Lady Vols were guided by a number of award-winning performers during the 2011 campaign, including sophomores Lauren Gibson, Raven Chavanne and Kat Dotson, freshmen Ellen Renfroe and Madison Shipman (SEC All-Freshman Team) and the senior Grieve. A top 10 finalist for the 2011 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year award, Chavanne started all 61 games for UT, either in the outfield, at third base or as the designated player. The Thousand Oaks, Calif., native reached base by either hit or walk in 55 of 61 contests, won the SEC batting average title (counting all games) and finished seventh in all of NCAA Division I in average by posting a .455 mark to go along with 90 hits, 32 RBIs and 33 steals. She was chosen as a 2011 Louisville Slugger/NFCA Second Team All-American and Louisville Slugger/NFCA First Team All-Southeast Region selection, a Capital One First Team Academic All-American as well as to the Academic All-District IV First Team. Chavanne also received first team All-SEC and SEC All-Tournament accolades. Gibson, the SEC batting average leader (counting league games only) by posting a .451 mark against conference opposition with five HRs and 28 RBIs, started all 61 contests at second base. The Pasadena, Md., product and first team 2011 Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American and Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region choice was also named both first team All-SEC and to the SEC All-Defensive Team (2B). Overall, counting all contests, Gibson hit .420 with 43 runs, a team-high 13 doubles, three triples, eight HR’s, 63 RBIs (seventh in the SEC). She reached via either hit or walk in 52 of 61 match-ups, posted 20 multi-hit and 16 multi-RBI efforts and got on base safely over a team-best skein of 24 consecutive games from March 17-April 29. A top 25 finalist for the 2011 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year award and a second team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region selection (2010 NFCA All-American), Dotson led the Big Orange and rated in a tie for fifth in the SEC in RBIs (64) to go along with a .401 batting average (fifth in the league), 54 runs scored, eight doubles, four triples, 10 HR’s and 26 stolen bases (fifth in the SEC). The Savannah, Ga., native rated 20th in NCAA Division I in RBIs-per-game at 1.08, started 59 of 61 games for Tennessee and reached base safely via hit or walk in 49 of her 59 match-ups. She also led UT with 17 multi-RBI efforts, tallied 21 multi-hit games and posted a 13-game hitting streak from March 3-22. An in-state product out of Jackson, Tenn., Ellen Renfroe was selected as a third team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American and a first team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region choice. The 6-0 right hander was named the SEC’s Freshman of the Year and picked up nods as both second team All-SEC and SEC All-Freshman. She also secured three victories over #1 or #2-ranked teams in the polls (#1 Alabama, #2 UCLA, #2 Georgia). After posting a 3-0 mark with a 0.76 ERA while leading UT to the program’s sec-ond SEC Tournament title, Renfroe was selected as the SEC Tournament’s MVP and as the USA Softball National Player of the Week (5/17). Renfroe led the league in ERA (counting conference games only) at 1.42, rated second in K’s (125) and was fourth in victories (10). Overall, she ranked second in the SEC (counting all games) in ERA (1.50) and strikeouts (259). Grieve picked up second team All-SEC and SEC All-Defensive (CF) accolades after another strong campaign in the Orange & White. The Asheville, N.C., native hit .376 while starting all 61 contests, scored 48 runs, posted nine doubles, four triples, five HR’s and 37 RBIs while swiping 21 bases. She recorded 22 multi-hit and eight multi-RBI efforts and didn’t make a single error while patrolling center field while tallying six outfield assists. Starting the season ranked No. 4 by the NFCA, Tennessee wasted no time in demon-strating its offensive prowess, racing through the Stetson Leadoff Classic with a perfect 4-0 record while hitting .475 as a team and outscoring its opposition 44-2. Chavanne proved the big star of the opening weekend, hitting .692 (9-for-13) with a team-high nine runs, two homers and 10 RBIs through the initial four games of 2011 on the way to SEC Player of the Week honors. UT crushed Michigan State twice (11-2 and 14-0 in five inn.), Stetson

(11-0, 5 inn.) and Boston College (8-0, 5 inn.). Ellen Renfroe christened her Lady Vol career by going 2-0 while not allowing a run over 10 innings of work with 12 K’s. Tennessee opened its home slate on February 15 by equaling a Lee Stadium scoring record with an 18-0 (5 inn.) romp over ETSU. Included in the offensive outburst were four home runs, highlighted by Grieve’s first career grand slam as part of an 11-run second inning, and a three-run shot from Dotson. After the brief home respite, it was back on the road for an 11-day marathon trip to the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic in Las Vegas, Nev., and the prestigious Cathedral City Classic in Cathedral City, Calif.

The Big Orange got things started in Las Vegas by drill-ing Cal Poly (11-2, 6 inn.), behind a 2-for-3, two-HR effort by Burchell and a near cycle from Grieve (3-for-3, triple, HR), and Boise State (15-1, 5 inn.) as Spigner launched a grand slam and Burchell hit her third HR of the day. Over the opening seven games of the season, UT had outscored the opposition by a staggering total of 88-5 overall, won all seven of its contests via the run-rule and hit 17 homers overall. That’s when the Lady Vols suffered the first bump of the season at the hands of home-standing UNLV. The Rebels got a huge, three-run HR from Tayler Van Acker off Ivy Renfroe in the second inning to nab a 4-0 lead. Tennessee chipped away at the deficit, clawing back within a run in the top of the seventh before leaving the tying tally stranded at second to drop a 4-3 decision. A 12-run outburst over the opening four innings got UT back in the win column later the same day in a 12-2 (5 inn.) win over SIUE. Lady Vol freshman hurler Ellen Renfroe (5.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R) made personal history by striking out a career-high eight during a complete-game two-hitter. Grieve (3-for-4, two runs, stolen base, triple), Spigner (2-for-3, double, HR, two runs), Gibson (2-for-3, run, steal) and Burchell (2-for-3, run) were each credited with two RBIs. Unfortunately, the final day at the Desert Classic saw #19 Stanford’s Ashley Chinn silence the Lady Vol bats to the tune of one-hit as the Cardinal got a big early-season victory over Tennessee, 5-0. UT also made an uncharacter-istic three errors behind a combo of pitchers Ellen and Ivy Renfroe to permit a trio of unearned scores. Staying in Vegas for one more contest before heading out to Cathedral City, the Orange & White got back in the win column by hammering Southern Utah in a neutral site contest, 10-1 (5 inn.). Dotson and Burchell led the way for the offense with a pair of RBIs while Ivy Renfroe allowed two hits over three innings to improve to 3-1 on the season.

Once it arrived in Cathedral City, Tennessee made quite a statement by going 5-0 with a .345 team batting average and a high-profile victory over #2 UCLA. After surviving a difficult opener in a 2-0 win against UCSB on a clutch two-RBI single by Gibson and a pitch-ing gem by Ivy Renfroe, UT drilled San Diego State (11-3, 6 inn.) as Dotson led the way by going 3-for-4 with four RBI and just missing a cycle by a HR. A 4-1 triumph over #25 BYU on Feb. 25, brought along some history as Co-Head Coach Karen Weekly nabbed her 700th career victory as Ellen Renfroe improved to 5-1 in the circle, allowing a single run on four hits with six K’s. UT topped Loyola Marymount later that evening by a 7-2 count, highlighted by a two-run blast off the bat of Chavanne in the fourth frame. In its finale in Cathedral City, the Lady Vols witnessed rookie hurler Ellen Renfroe offi-cially arrive on the national scene as the Jackson, Tenn., native allowed just one run on six hits and struck out 10 in a complete-game, 7-1 win over the defending national champion and second-ranked Bruins. The dominant effort even earned the pitcher a feature story on ESPNU.com by softball writer Graham Hays. Offensively, Gibson set the early tone with a three-RBI double in the opening frame, while Burchell added a two-run HR in the second. As the calendar turned to March, UT finally arrived back home from its marathon jour-ney to Lee Stadium to host the annual Tennessee Classic. The Big Orange raced through its home-hosted event, hitting .405 overall and out-scoring its opposition by a 33-7 total. Dotson was the big offensive contributor during the event, registering a staggering .667 (10-of-15) average with three HR’s and 13 RBIs on her way to being tabbed as the SEC Player of the Week. The Savannah, Ga.., native just missed a cycle for the second time in 2011 with a 4-for-4 effort (two singles, triple, HR) and three RBIs in a 6-4 win over Furman. She also homered in three straight contests (Furman, Georgia Southern – two match-ups) on the way to a four-game string that stretched into the first of a series at Kentucky (March 11). Little did Tennessee know at the time, but its next opponent Kentucky was in the midst of an historic season that would see the program advance to a NCAA Super Regional berth for the first time ever. UK quickly showed that it would be a tough out in 2011, tak-ing a three-game series from the #7 Big Orange, 2-1. The ‘Cats used a five-run sixth frame to take the opener, 9-6, before UT responded to even the series on March 12, with a dominant 10-0 romp. Grieve led the 13-hit Orange & White outburst by going 4-for-4 with a trio of RBIs. The finale of the series in Lexington was a classic as the teams battled over 10 innings before the Blue & White prevailed, 5-4. Up 3-0 after one and still holding a 4-1 advantage with UK down to its final strike in the bottom of the seventh, Tennessee watched as Megan Yocke drilled a three-run shot to tie the contest. Kentucky threatened in virtually every extra frame before finally getting the walk-off win via a Kara Dill single in the 10th. Dotson helped Tennessee bounce back from the Kentucky series by breaking a 15-year-old single-game program record for RBIs with a staggering nine in a 16-2 (6 inn.)

Second baseman Lauren Gibson (2010-present) had a breakout season for the Orange & White in 2011. The first team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American hit .420 overall with 13 doubles, eight HR’s and 63 RBIs while registering 20 multi-hit and 16 multi-RBI efforts. She twice posted at least six RBIs in a single contest, seven at #21 LSU (4/16) and six in NCAA Regional action versus #19 Georgia Tech (5/21).

road win at Tennessee State. The outfielder blasted a three-run shot and a grand slam for the first two-HR effort of her career while going 3-for-4 at the dish in the rout. Following a two-game home sweep of Iowa (7-3, 2-0), the Lady Vols welcomed #1 Alabama to the friendly confines for a doubleheader on March 22. UA All-American Kelsi Dunne allowed five runs in the opener, including a two-run HR to Burchell, but the Crimson Tide took it, 9-5. The finale went UT’s way as Ellen Renfroe picked up her second win over a team ranked either #1 or #2 in the nation, firing a complete-game, two-hitter against Alabama’s powerful offense with seven K’s. Shipman got the Big Orange on the board via an RBI single in the fourth and Gibson later added an RBI base knock in the sixth on the way to a 4-1 triumph. Under new coach Beverly Smith, South Carolina was undergoing a bit of a resurgence when it ventured to Knoxville over March 25-27. The Gamecocks pushed Tennessee to the limit, despite the Lady Vols emerging with a sweep. UT managed a pair of walk-off wins as freshman outfielder Chelsea O’Connor blasted a game-ending two-run HR to left in the eighth inning of the opener (UT 4-2, 8 inn.) and Chavanne finished the finale with an RBI single. The Orange & White trailed the finale against USC 4-0 after the top of the first before beginning a spirited rally. Still down by a run in the bottom of the seventh, Spigner opened the frame with a lead-off double. With two outs, junior Ashley Andrews drew a vital walk before freshman Melissa Davin was summoned off the bench to pinch hit. The Fresno, Calif., native came through with a clutch RBI base knock to right to tie the game. Chavanne immediately followed with her walk-off hit to center as Tennessee prevailed, 5-4. In the opener of a three-contest set against #22 Auburn in Knoxville on April 1, Ellen Renfroe joined former Lady Vol Monica Abbott as the only UT pitchers ever to strikeout 20 batters in a single game with 20 K’s in a 2-1 (10 inn.) win. The 6-0 right hander befuddled the Tigers over a 174-pitch performance, scattering nine hits and allowing a single unearned run. Grieve finally broke the dead-lock and improved Renfroe to 16-2 on the season by crushing a towering walk-off HR to right on the first pitch of the bottom of the 10th. Following a humbling 9-1 defeat at the hands of the Tigers in the middle game of the set, #11 Tennessee rebounded on April 3 to drill Auburn 8-0 (6 inn.) in the finale on the strength of a three-run shot by Burchell and a two-hit shutout by Ellen Renfroe. Proving the league slate never gets any easier, the Big Orange were next forced to head to Athens, Ga., for a mid-week doubleheader at #2 Georgia. Ivy Renfroe set the tone for Tennessee in the opener, allowing one run over 5.2 innings and getting HR’s from Gibson and Davin as UT rolled to a 5-1 victory. Davin continued her incredible production in the finale, going 3-for-4 with a single, double and triple, as part of a 9-4 triumph. UT continued its winning ways at Ole Miss, routinely sweeping a three-contest series against the Rebels (7-1, 10-3, 9-0 in 5 inn.) in Oxford, Miss. The finale proved his-toric for Co-Head Coach Ralph Weekly as he picked up the 1000th victory of his coaching career. After handling Appalachian State by a 7-0 count on April 13, it was off to Baton Rouge, La., for a three-contest set against #21 LSU. The Bayou Bengals were just coming off a shocking three-game sweep of Alabama and looked to have tons of momentum. Unfortunately for the Tigers, Tennessee had Shipman, Gibson and both Ellen and Ivy Renfroe. Despite playing the majority of the season with a bro-ken hamate bone in her left hand, Shipman got UT off to a stunning start in the opener. The Valencia, Calif., native crushed her first career grand slam onto the grass berm beyond the left field wall for a 4-0 lead. Ellen Renfroe struck out 12 in a complete-game, three-hitter to garner her 20th win of the season in a 6-0 victory. With a national television audience watching on ESPN2, Gibson blasted two HR’s and knocked in a career-best seven runs while Ivy Renfroe tossed a four-hit shutout as Tennessee blasted the #21 Tigers, 11-0. A two-run shot by Spigner in the seventh marked UT’s 53rd HR of the season, breaking the school single-season mark set back in 1996 and tied in both 2002 and 2005. Ellen Renfroe again struck out 12 in the series closer, while the offense broke a 1-1 tie with three runs in both the sixth and seventh frames as the Big Orange managed a 7-2 triumph. The winning streak reached 11 in a 9-1 (5 inn.) vic-tory over Radford before Mississippi State headed to Lee Stadium. The Lady Vols extended their winning skein to 13 straight before suffering a 3-2 loss to Bulldogs in the finale. Ellen Renfroe (22-2) topped MSU via a four-hit shutout in the opener to back a two-run HR by Davin in a 2-0 vic-tory, before Ivy one-upped her sister by twirling her second career no-hitter during a 8-0 (6 inn.) romp in game two as both Spigner and Grieve blasted big flies. In the series finale, the ‘Dogs managed three runs in the second inning off Ellen Renfroe while nabbing a 3-1 advantage. Tennessee climbed within a single run at 3-2 on a Grieve sac fly in the second and threatened down the stretch, even loading the bases in the fifth, but couldn’t scratch across the tying score in a one-run defeat. A dominant three-contest sweep of Arkansas (11-1 in 6 inn., 8-0 and 9-1 in 5 inn.) led by Chavanne, who hit .857 (6-for-7) with four doubles, Spigner (two HR’s, seven RBIs) and Ivy Renfroe (2-0, 0.64 ERA, 20 K’s in 11 innings) set the stage for an SEC Eastern Division title showdown in Gainesville, Fla. The Big Orange headed to “The Sunshine State” needing two wins over the Gators to secure the SEC regular season title and just one to secure at least a tie for the Eastern Division crown. Unfortunately, senior-laden UF had other ideas, sweeping the Lady

Vols in a hard-fought set to win the East and hand the regular season championship to Alabama. Things looked promising in the opener at #4 Florida as a two-run single by Andrews and a RBI triple by Chavanne granted UT a 3-1 lead in the fifth. UF always seemed to have an answer, however, tying the game immediately and getting a walk-off, solo HR by Cheyenne Coyle in a 4-3 win. Ivy Renfroe was impressive in game two, despite permitting a two-run shot in the opening frame to senior Kelsey Bruder, allowing just five hits to the Gators over six innings. A combo of Stephanie Brombacher and Hannah Rogers kept Tennessee’s offense under control to the tune of six scattered base knocks in a 2-0 triumph. Gibson doubled in a tally in the top of the first during the finale for a 1-0 lead, but UF answered back with a two-spot in the bottom half and expanded it from there to earn the sweep, 7-2. Attempting to put the disappointment in the rear-view mirror, the Big Orange readied for postseason play, venturing to Oxford, Miss., for the annual SEC Tournament as the No. 3-seed. No one knew at the time, but the Lady Vols would rebound from the trouble in Gainesville to secure the program’s second all-time SEC Tournament title with a spirited run through the event. Up by three runs in the opener versus #22 Kentucky, Ellen Renfroe ran into some trou-ble in the top of the sixth as UK had two on and none out. Ivy Renfroe was summoned in for relief and retired three-straight Wildcats to escape the jam on the way to earning her third save of 2011 in a 4-1 win. A pair of tallies in the opening frame, highlighted by a Burchell RBI single, proved the winning margin in the SEC semifinals against #23 Auburn. This time it was Ellen Renfroe’s turn to provide relief, firing six innings of one hit ball with 10 K’s as UT won 2-1. The #8 Georgia Bulldogs appeared ready to exact revenge for UT’s doubleheader sweep back in April in the SEC Tournament title game as HR’s by Taylor Schlopy and Kristyn Sandberg spotted the ‘Dawgs a quick 4-0 lead in the top of the first. UT clawed back in the game on the strength of two HR’s by Spigner and another solid effort in the circle by Ellen Renfroe. As the first batter in the bottom of the eighth, Burchell deposited a change-up from UGA’s Alison Owen to deep center field for a walk-off HR, setting off Big Orange jubilation in Oxford. For her efforts at the SEC event, Ellen Renfroe was named the Most Valuable Player and eventually the USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Week, while Chavanne, Spigner and Burchell joined her on the SEC All-Tournament Team. When the NCAA bracket was finally released on May 15th, Tennessee was shocked to hear it had received just the No. 14 national seed. It was even more stunned to find out it would be hosting the NCAA Knoxville Regional against a field consisting of three of the top 18 teams in the RPI, a regional that ESPNU commentators referred to as the most dif-

ficult in the nation. Over May 20-22 at Lee Stadium, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) regular-season champion #19 Georgia Tech (44-10), #22 Oklahoma State (37-17) of the Big 12 Conference and Big South Conference Tournament titlist Liberty (30-28) would make the trip to Knoxville. The Big Orange got off to an impressive start as Ivy Renfroe fired career no-hitter number three in an 8-0 (5 inn.) rout of Liberty. UT scored all eight of its tallies with two outs in an inning, raising its two-out season RBI total to 151 overall, and finished the contest off in style with a seven-run, fifth inning as Shipman put a sudden end to things via a walk-off grand slam to deep center. Tennessee stumbled, however, in its next match-up against #22 Oklahoma State, out-hitting the Cowgirls, 9-8, but suffering a 6-1 defeat to drop into the loser’s bracket. The Big Orange was led offensively Grieve (2-for-4), Dotson (2-for-4, double, RBI) and Shipman (2-for-3) as each mem-ber of the trio registered a pair of UT’s nine total hits in the contest. In the circle for the Lady Vols, Ellen Renfroe suffered the defeat to fall to 26-6 on the season, permitting six runs on eight hits with six walks and six strikeouts over 6.0 innings of work. Forced into an elimination match-up against #19 Georgia Tech and their powerful bats that had topped the 100-HR mark as a team in 2011, the Lady Vols got another impressive effort from Ivy Renfroe to the tune of a two-hit shutout as UT advanced on with a 7-0 victory. Gibson led the way offensively with her second two-HR game of the year while knocking in six runs as part of a perfect 3-for-3 performance. On Sunday, May 22, Tennessee knew that to move on to the NCAA Super Regional it would be forced to defeat #22 Oklahoma State twice. Things didn’t look good early as OSU raced to a 3-0 lead after three frames. Shipman doubled in a tally in the fourth and then Burchell homered and Dotson delivered a two-RBI single in the fifth as the

Big Orange nabbed its first lead of the contest at 4-3. Things stayed that way until the bottom of the sixth when a clutch double off the bat of Oklahoma State pinch hitter Tarah Ettinger found the gap in right center to plate two and give OSU back the lead at 6-4. Down to its final chance in the top of the seventh to extend its season, Tennessee got a lead-off walk from Chavanne and an infield single by Grieve to put a pair aboard. After a Dotson groundout, Spigner lifted a sac fly to center as Chavanne scored to cut the deficit to a single tally. With two down in the inning, Gibson ripped a sharp single through the left side of the infield. Grieve raced around third on the way to the plate with the potential tying run as Cowgirl left-fielder Tamara Brown fielded the ball and came up throwing. Her strong toss arrived at the dish at the same time as Grieve for a play at the plate. Unfortunately for the Big Orange, the call by the home plate umpire was out, and the 2011 season came to a sudden and stunning conclusion.

Sophomore outfielder Kat Dotson (2010-present) guided the Tennessee offense in RBIs last season with 64. The 2011 Louisvlle Slugger/NFCA All-Southeast Region choice and 2010 NFCA All-American was a top 25 finalist for the prestigious 2011 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year trophy and even broke a 15-year-old single-game UT mark with nine RBIs in a win at Tennessee State (3/15).

“The Standard For Excellence” The Southeastern Conference, with its storied

78-year history of athletic achievements and academic excellence, has built perhaps the greatest tradition of intercollegiate competition of any league in the coun-try since its inception in 1933.

The 2010-11 academic year was another season to remember for the SEC as conference teams captured five national titles and three national runner-up fin-ishes. The SEC has won consecutive national champi-

onships in baseball, football and men’s indoor track & field. Since 1990, the SEC has won 140 national team championships for an average of more than six per year.

Auburn won the SEC’s first national title of the year with its win in the BCS National Championship Game in football. It is the SEC’s fifth consecutive football national title. Florida won its second consecutive national title in men’s indoor track & field while the Gators’ women’s tennis team also captured the national championship. Alabama won its fifth gymnastics national title and South Carolina won its second consecutive nation-al championship in baseball. Florida finished first among Southeastern Conference schools and fourth overall in the Director’s Cup final standings.

Overall, the SEC finished in the top two in eight of its 20 sponsored sports and in the top five in 14 of the 20 sports. Ten SEC teams participated in football postseason bowls with Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, Alabama and Florida winning the BCS National Title Game, Cotton, Gator, Capital One and Outback bowls, respectively. Five men’s basketball teams were invited to the NCAA Tournament and four women’s basketball teams were also invited to the NCAA Tournament. The SEC had seven teams advance to postseason play in baseball, hosting three regionals with South Carolina, Florida and Vanderbilt advancing to the College World Series. With 139 teams advancing to NCAA postseason competition, the SEC continued to solidify its place as the nation’s premier conference.

In addition to the four team championships, 39 SEC student-athletes garnered indi-vidual national championships, while 367 individuals were awarded with First-Team All-America Honors. Student-athletes around the league continued to excel in the class-room as well with more than 2,500 earning recognition on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

On the national all-sport level, nine SEC schools placed in the top 40 of the NACDA Director’s Cup rankings. Florida led the league with a fourth place finish. LSU placed 19th while Georgia was 20th, Tennessee finished 22nd, Arkansas 24th, Alabama 25th, Auburn 31st, Kentucky 36th and South Carolina 39th to round out the league’s top-40 finishes.

2011 SEC SOFTBALL AWARDS

SOFTBALL IN THE SEC

SEC Softball will celebrate its 16th year of existence in 2012 and has established itself as one of the leading conferences in the sport. The Southeastern Conference qualified seven teams for the 2011 NCAA Tournament - Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU and Tennessee, as the conference made its 14th overall, ninth consecutive, Women’s College World Series appearance. The Alabama Crimson Tide received the No. 2 national seed while four SEC teams earned national seeds overall: No. 2 Alabama, No. 4 Florida, No. 6 Georgia and No. 14 Tennessee. The SEC advanced two teams to Oklahoma City: Alabama and Florida. The Gators advanced to the championship series. Alabama won the 2011 conference title as they posted a 19-6 SEC mark. It was their second consecutive year winning the hardware and third title in school history. The Tide posted a 45-7 overall record and Kelsi Dunne earned SEC Pitcher of the Year honors for the second year in a row. Florida’s Kelsey Bruder was named SEC Player of the Year while Tennessee’s Ellen Renfroe earned Freshman of the Year accolades. Kentucky’s Meagan Aull was selected as Scholar-Athlete of the Year while Co-Coach of the Year honors went to Tim Walton (Florida) and Yvette Girouard (LSU). Softball came under the auspices of the Southeastern Conference in the 1996-97 sea-son. Since that time, 10 different conference teams have made appearances in the NCAA Championship, including six teams earning Women’s College World Series berths - one by South Carolina in the inaugural season, Alabama in 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2011, Florida in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, Georgia in 2009 and 2010, LSU in 2001 and 2004 and Tennessee in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2010. Eight teams (Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Tennessee) have made Top 25 appearances and six teams have climbed into the Top 10 (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, South Carolina and Tennessee) of the NFCA/USA Today Poll. At least one SEC team has been ranked in the poll each week since the incep-tion of SEC Softball. South Carolina is the longest standing program of the league with a rich history in softball dating back 37 seasons. The Gamecocks have made 15 NCAA Regional and three Women’s College World Series appearances. Mississippi State played softball for five seasons during the 1980’s before resuming the sport when it was added to the SEC. Tennessee added softball in 1995-96, one year before its inception in the SEC. Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU andOle Miss began softball programs in 1996-97 to give the league 11 representatives (Vanderbilt does not sponsor softball). The 1999 season was the first in which the conference was eligible for an automatic berth to the NCAA Championships. As the sport continues to grow in competitiveness and popularity, the SEC has had six different regular season champions and five different conference tournament champions.

During the Weeklys’ debut season in 2002, Adrianna Wilson (1999-2002) provided leadership by example as a first-team All-South Region pick at catcher and helped the Orange to its first winning record in three years with a 35-25-1 performance.

A pioneer of the program, shortstop Tracy Reidhead (1996-97) was the first Lady Vol to accomplish the feat of becoming a first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection and an Academic All-American.

When the NCAA Selection Committee announced the 48-team field for the 1999 NCAA Softball Tournament, the Lady Vol softball squad heard the news it had been awaiting since the inception of its program in the fall of 1995. With a 44-25 overall record and a first-ever Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title on its resume, Jim Beitia’s club earned an at-large bid to one of the eight, six-team regional sites. As a third seed, Tennessee traveled to Seattle, Wash., for a first round meeting with number four seed Cal-State Fullerton. Host Washington, ranked sixth nationally, drew the top seed in the double-elimination event on its home field. While the Orange & White dropped both of its con-tests in the Pacific Northwest, the results failed to lessen the achievement of participating in the nation’s premier event after recording the program’s most successful campaign to date.

After recording a program-record 55 victories and pick-ing up its first Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title since the 1999 season, the Tennessee Lady Vol softball team, under the direction of SEC Co-Head Coaches of the Year Ralph and Karen Weekly, continued its successful run by nabbing its first NCAA bid in five years. As the second seed in NCAA Regional No. 6, the Orange & White would travel to Ann Arbor, Mich., to participate in a double-elimination for-mat. The Lady Vols opened the event by downing Illinois-Chicago to register the program’s initial NCAA Tournament victory and added another with a 4-0 defeat of the DePaul Blue Demons. Tennessee would be eliminated, however, from the rain-plagued event by suffering defeats to No. 18 Oregon State (4-0) and Illinois-Chicago (6-5).

Following a stellar 59-13 regular-season, the Tennessee Lady Vol softball team was chosen to the NCAA Tournament field of 64 for the second consecutive season. As a bonus for their No. 11 national seeding, the Orange & White were allowed to host the NCAA Regional round at Tennessee’s Tyson Park. UT opened its tournament run with a dominating 9-0, five-inning victory over Miami (Ohio) behind a two-hitter from hurler Monica Abbott. After a 4-0 throttling of College of Charleston advanced the Lady Vols to the regional title game, Abbott no-hit the Cougars in a rematch as sophomore shortstop Lindsay Schutzler deliv-ered a crucial two-run home run in UT’s 2-0 win. With the tri-umph, the Big Orange advanced to the NCAA Super Regional in Palo Alto, Calif.

2005 WOMEN’S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES (3-2)

Oklahoma City, Okla.June 2-6, 2005

Tennessee’s first-ever trip to the Women’s College World Series was just about everything that the squad and co-head coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly could have desired. Three stirring victo-ries, late-inning heroics, national television coverage and big-game experience on the largest national stage in softball made UT’s visit to Oklahoma City, Okla., a memorable one. In the end, the Lady Vols finished third and came up just short of a berth in the NCAA Championship series.

2005 NCAA SUPER REGIONAL NO. 6 (2-0)Palo Alto, Calif.

May 27-28, 2005

With the program’s first NCAA Regional title in its back pocket, UT was summoned to wing its way across the country to battle No. 4-ranked Stanford at the Smith Family Stadium in Palo Alto, Calif. Down to a best two-of-three game format, Tennessee made the most of its opportunity with consecutive shutout victories to take the crown and advance to the program’s initial berth in the Women’s College World Series. While Monica Abbott was in the process of striking out 12 Stanford hitters in a two-hit, 2-0 victory in game one, junior utility player Katherine Card was busy delivering an RBI single in the first and a solo home run in the sixth to give UT all the runs necessary to take a 1-0 series lead. Another solid pitching performance in game two by Abbott (one-hitter) was backed up by a five-run third inning outburst as the Orange downed SU 6-0. Three Cardinal errors led to three UT unearned runs.

Behind sophomore Monica Abbott’s one-hit, 12-strikeout performance and a key hit by junior utility player Katherine Card, the Lady Vols picked up their first-ever WCWS victory with a 1-0, triumph over the third-ranked Arizona Wildcats. In the sixth inning, Card singled down the right field line. Pinch-runner Ashley Cline, who was on second, raced around third and scored the game’s lone run as a result of a Wildcat throwing error. The victory was the 200th of Ralph and Karen Weekly’s UT coaching career.

Despite a solo home run (UT’s first in WCWS play) in the fourth inning by fresh-man Tonya Callahan that tied the game at 1-1, Tennessee dropped into the losers’ bracket at the Women’s College World Series after a tough, 3-1 defeat to eventual national finalist UCLA. A seventh-inning rally that saw the Lady Vols lace three hits came up just short. UT’s Monica Abbott allowed just one earned run in the contest.

UT became just the third Southeastern Conference team to reach the semifinal round of the WCWS by shutting out fellow league foe Alabama, 4-0. Abbott pitched her third-straight complete game at the event, allowing just four hits and recorded eight K’s. With the victory in front of the largest crowd ever to see the Lady Vols play softball (6,148), UT advanced on to face No. 1 Michigan with a berth in the championship series on the line.

A classic fastpitch softball game unfolded late on June 5 in Oklahoma City, Okla., with No. 1 Michigan and No. 11 Tennessee battling for almost 11 full innings in a scoreless tie. With one down in the bottom of the 11th and at 1:21 a.m. CT, fresh-man first baseman Tonya Callahan ended the suspense with a towering shot just over the wall down the left field line to grant UT a 2-0 victory. Abbott worked all 11 innings to establish a new career-high.

One of the biggest home runs in program history occurred at 1:21 a.m. CST in the 11th inning of UT’s elimination contest against No. 1 and eventual national champion Michigan. Freshman first baseman Tonya Callahan’s two-run walk-off bomb over the wall in left gave Tennessee a 2-0 victory and assured the Orange and White one more game at its initial Women’s College World Series.

The Lady Vols’ magical WCWS run came to an end just hours after the completion of the two squads’ exciting, 11-inning thriller with a 3-2 defeat at the hands of eventual national champion Michigan. The Wolverines plated a run in the first off Abbott and added two more in the third on a two-run shot by Stephanie Bercaw. Freshman Natalie Brock helped UT get back in the game with a two-RBI double in the fifth. UT left a runner stranded at second in the seventh to fall short by just a single run.

Junior utility player Katherine Card hit a solid .375 at the Women’s College World Series on her way to all-tournament honors. In UT’s initial foray into WCWS play, the Soddy Daisy, Tenn., native’s single down the right field line in the sixth inning scored the Lady Vols’ lone run in a 1-0 victory over No. 4 Arizona.

In 37 innings of work at the 2005 WCWS, sophomore hurler Monica Abbott went 3-2 with a 0.76 ERA and 37 strikeouts. The 6-3 lefthander from Salinas, Calif., fired three shutouts in victories over Arizona, Alabama and Michigan in picking up all-tournament honors. In UT’s 2-0 win over the No. 1 Wolverines, Abbott worked a career-high 11 innings.

Another dominating regular season and the first Southeastern Conference Tournament title in program history granted UT a ton of confidence heading into its third straight NCAA Tournament. For the second straight season, Tennessee’s Tyson Park would serve as host for the NCAA Regionals. In the regional opener the Big Orange found themselves down 4-2 to upstart Tennessee Tech after 3.5 innings and without Monica Abbott who had been lifted from the contest. UT rallied with a four-run fourth keyed by a two-RBI single by Sarah Fekete to survive 6-4. Waiting next for the Lady Vols was ACC Pitcher of the Year Angela Tincher and Virginia Tech. A first inning grand slam by clutch post-season performer Katherine Card set the tone as Tennessee rolled 9-1 (five inn.). With a berth in the NCAA Super Regionals hanging in the balance, #18 Louisville sent BIG EAST Pitcher of the Year Catherine Bishop to the circle to oppose Abbott. UT’s 6-3 lefty struck out 12 in a two-hitter and the Orange & White rang up eight runs on 10 hits in an 8-1 rout.

2006 WOMEN’S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES (3-2)

Oklahoma City, Okla.June 1-4, 2006

The Tennessee Lady Vols fought their way to another third-place national finish in their second straight trip to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla., from June 1-4, 2006. Along the way, UT upset #1 UCLA (4-3), outlasted #9 Arizona State (3-1, nine inn.) and defeated eventual national champion #3 Arizona (1-0) before fall-ing just a single game short of the WCWS Championship Series. For their efforts junior pitcher Monica Abbott and senior designated player Kristi Durant were named WCWS All-Tournament.

2006 NCAA SUPER REGIONAL NO. 8 (2-1)Knoxville, Tenn.May 27-28, 2006

The NCAA draw made sure that Tennessee’s initial stint hosting the Super Regional round would be a challenge as defending national champion Michigan ventured to Knoxville for a best-of-three game set. UT and the Maize & Blue had split a pair of epic contests at the WCWS in 2005 to eliminate the Lady Vols from title contention. Tennessee jumped on top 2-0 in the opener as a Tonya Callahan single and a Katherine Card sac fly plated a pair in the fourth. Michigan rallied to knot the score, but a three-run sixth from the Lady Vols keyed a 5-3 win. Abbott struck out 11 in the complete game. After UM’s Jennie Ritter got the measure of the Big Orange in game two by a 5-1 count, Tennessee sent Abbott back to the circle with an all-or-nothing game three waiting. She didn’t disappoint by twirling a five-hit, nine-K shutout as the Lady Vols prevailed 1-0. Clutch Card laced an RBI single to to right center in the sixth to score the game’s only run. UM loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh with two down, but Abbott struck out Rebekah Milian to end the series.

The Lady Vols wasted little time in pulling off the first stunner of the 2006 Women’s College World Series, as UT rallied past #1 UCLA in a contest that didn’t end until 2:01 a.m. local time. Down 2-0 heading into the sixth frame, Tonya Callahan singled and the Bruins committed a crucial error to tie the contest at 2-2. Kristi Durant drove in Lillian Hammond for a one-run lead. Durant came through again with an insurance tally in the seventh. It proved a good thing as UCLA scored one, but left two stranded to end it.

Perhaps dealing with a little late night fatigue from the evening before, Tennessee was one-hit by Northwestern hurler Eileen Canney as the Wildcats advanced through the winner’s bracket with a 2-0 victory. Monica Abbott struck out 15 and permitted just two earned runs on five hits, but an RBI single in the sixth and a solo home run by Darcy Sengewald in the seventh proved more than enough against UT’s anemic offense.

Facing elimination for the first time in the 2006 Women’s College World Series, the Lady Vols proved they were up to the task ahead by outlasting a game Arizona State squad, 3-1 (nine inn.). An ASU fielding error in the fifth provided UT with the game’s initial run, but the Sun Devils’ Heidi Knabe homered off Abbott to deadlock the contest at 1-1. Neither team could race in front until the ninth when freshman Jennifer Griffin delivered a clutch two-run homer to right center to seal the 3-1 win.

The task was outlined...defeat #3 Arizona twice in a day to advance to the WCWS Championship Series. UT took care of business in the opener by downing the Wildcats, 1-0. Abbott and UA’s Alicia Hollowell dueled through four scoreless frames before the clutch Katherine Card drove a Hollowell offering to deep center. Arizona’s Caitlin Lowe raced back and actually dove over the wall trying to make the catch. She didn’t come up with the ball as UT took the one-run lead. Abbott made it count in a two-hitter.

Tennessee enjoyed an enthusiastic fan following at the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla. With constant chants and cheering, the orange-clad partisans in attendance helped lead the Lady Vols past #1 UCLA, #9 Arizona State and #3 Arizona. They even showed true determination by lasting until the end of the opener against the Bruins that concluded at 2:01 a.m. local time.

The orange-clad partisans in attendance as well as the national television audience watched UT stave off elimination behind the efforts of WCWS and UT rookie Jennifer Griffin. The Whittier, Calif., native drove a pitch over the right center field wall in the ninth for a two-run, game-winning home run in UT’s 3-1 triumph. The above picture is from the moment of contact.

Despite suffering through a back injury for the majority of the 2006 campaign, senior designated player Kristi Durant demonstrated her grit and toughness by returning with a vengeance in the WCWS. The Placentia, Calif., native hit at a team-best .333 clip on her way to WCWS All-Tournament honors. She went 2-for-4 with two RBI in the upset of #1 UCLA.

For the second straight season, the Lady Vols came up just a win short of the WCWS Championship Series falling to #3 Arizona, 6-0. The Wildcats wasted no time jumping on Abbott by plating a pair of runs in both the first and second. Three uncharacteristic UT errors opened the door for three unearned runs as UA added single tallies in the third and sixth frames. Tennessee completed the 2006 campaign third nationally and with 61 victories against 12 losses for a program-best .836 win percentage.

2007 NCAA REGIONAL NO. 5 (3-0)Knoxville, Tenn.May 18-20, 2007

Front row (l-r): Tiffany Baker, Alexia Clay, Jennifer Griffin, Erinn Webb, Danielle Pieroni, Lindsay Schutzler, Natalee Weissinger,

Liane Horiuchi, Kenora Posey, Nicole Kajitani.Back row (l-r): Shannon Doepking, Megan Rhodes, Allison Fulmer,

Anita Manuma, Monica Abbott, Caitlin Ryan, Tonya Callahan, Lillian Hammond, Tiffany Huff, India Chiles

A 63-8 overall record and having spent a record 11 consecutive weeks atop the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll helped the national fifth-seeded Tennessee Lady Vol softball team again draw hosting position for an NCAA Regional. For the third straight season, UT swept its three match-ups to advance on to the best-of-three Super Regional. In the opener, Tennessee senior pitcher Monica Abbott (5 IP, 0 H, 13 K) and junior hurler Megan Rhodes (1 IP, 0 H, 0 K) combined on a perfect game by facing the minimum of 18 Furman hitters over six frames. Up 2-0 heading to the fifth, a three-run blast by Shannon Doepking helped the Orange roll to an 8-0 (6 inn.) win. In a rematch of an early season match-up, UT plated a pair of runs in the first frame against North Carolina via a Tonya Callahan RBI single and a Doepking sacrifice fly. Abbott struck out 17 in a complete-game six-hitter. Unfortunately India Chiles also suffered a torn ACL on a play between first and second. In the regional title contest Tennessee bested Winthrop 7-0 behind RBIs from Anita Manuma, Alexia Clay and Kenora Posey. Abbott struck out 12 in a three-hit shutout.

2007 WOMEN’S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES (4-2)

Oklahoma City, Okla.May 31-June 6, 2007

Back at the Women’s College World Series for the third straight campaign, Tennessee took another major step by becoming the first team from the Southeastern Conference to reach the WCWS best-of-three Championship Series. After sweeping three games to reach the title set, UT nabbed the opener over No. 4 Arizona, 3-0. Unfortunately for the Big Orange, the Lady Vols dropped the final two games to the Wildcats to suffer heartbreak but still finished as the NCAA Division I runner-up for 2007.

2007 NCAA SUPER REGIONAL NO. 5 (2-1)Knoxville, Tenn.May 25-26, 2007

The NCAA Super Regionals brought Tennessee a surprise, as No. 12 Hawai’i and its powerful offense roared into Knoxville after having taken down perennial power UCLA in the regionals. For freshman Anita Manuma, the visit had special significance, as her sister Valana Manuma played shortstop for the Rainbow Wahine. Having been on the mainland for weeks for conference and NCAA play, Hawai’i looked overwhelmed in the first game of the series as Abbott no-hit the Wahine and struck out 10 in a 9-0 (5 inn.) blowout. Freshman Tiffany Huff knocked in a career high five runs in the match-up. Hawai’i’s powerful bats got uncorked in the second contest by blast-ing three home runs and outlasting the Lady Vols, 9-6. UT plated four runs in the top of the seventh, but the rally proved fruitless. Staring elimination squarely in the eye, down 1-0 in the fourth frame, UT rookie put together a three-run fourth on a big two-RBI double from Erinn Webb and a four-run fifth to win 7-1 and advance on to the WCWS.

UT downed No. 7 Texas A&M, 2-0, to advance on in the winner’s bracket. Lady Vol senior pitcher Monica Abbott struck out 16 to break the NCAA single-season strikeout record (665 K’s) and threw her third career postseason and 23rd overall no-hitter. Even with all that, the story of the game proved to be injured senior India Chiles singling in the eventual game-winning run in a crucial seventh-inning rally. The Big Orange also broke the WCWS single-game record for stolen bases by swiping five in the match-up with two steals each by Lindsay Schutzler and Kenora Posey and one from Erinn Webb.

No. 1 Tennessee scratched out a run in the bottom of the sixth to back a complete game shutout by senior pitcher Monica Abbott as the Lady Vols downed No. 4 Arizona, 1-0, to improve to 2-0 and move within one victory of making the best-of-three WCWS Championship Series. Due to a lengthy rain delay, the match-up against the Wildcats started at 11:23 p.m. CT, three hours and 23 minutes after the originally scheduled start time of 8 p.m. CT. By finishing at 1:28 a.m. CT, the contest marked the second latest foray into the night for the Lady Vols in their three-year history at the WCWS.

No. 1 and fifth-seeded Tennessee’s perfect roll through the Women’s College World Series continued in front of 6,949 fans at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium, as the Lady Vols defeated No. 6 and second-seeded Northwestern, 3-0, to secure the program’s first-ever berth in the WCWS Championship Series. Big Orange pitcher Monica Abbott continued her outstanding efforts in the circle by striking out 17 Wildcats in a two-hit shutout. India Chiles continued her impressive contribu-tions for the Lady Vol offense with a 1-for-3 effort at the plate, a run scored and her 44th stolen base.

The Lady Vols utilized another pitching gem from Monica Abbott, solo home runs by junior Shannon Doepking and freshman Alexia Clay and another clutch RBI sin-gle from ever-dependable senior India Chiles to down No. 4 Arizona, 3-0, and take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three WCWS Championship Series. Abbott became the first pitcher ever to cross the 700-strikeout plateau in the triumph and improved her scoreless inning streak to 33.2 consecutive frames.

Junior catcher Shannon Doepking’s solo blast off Arizona hurler Taryne Mowatt helped guide the Lady Vols to a 3-0 victory in the opening game of the best-of-three NCAA Championship Series against the Wildcats. Here, as has become a habit for Tennessee in WCWS play, her teammates wait at the plate to give her a Big Orange “Standing O.”

Lady Vol autographs were in high demand after each game by the huge crowds that swarmed Oklahoma City throughout the Women’s College World Series.

With the national title in reach, No. 1 Tennessee stranded 14 base runners in a dif-ficult 1-0 (10 inn.) loss to No. 4 Arizona at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium to force a third and decisive contest for the NCAA title. The Lady Vols outhit the Wildcats 7-4 but couldn’t come up with the one clutch hit needed to tally that vital run to back Abbott’s 11-strikeout, four-hitter in the circle. India Chiles (2-for-5) and Kenora Posey (2-for-4) each recorded a pair of hits to lead the offense, while Lindsay Schutzler (1-for-4), Shannon Doepking (1-for-3) and freshman designated player Alexia Clay (1-for-5) were each responsible for one of UT’s seven total base knocks.

The 2007 campaign will go down as the most successful in program history for Tennessee for a variety of reasons after a second-place finish at the Women’s College World Series, the program’s first Southeastern Conference regular season title and the initial No. 1 ranking in school and league history. The season also will be remembered as one of disappointment after coming so very close to UT’s first softball national title before falling short in a 5-0 loss to No. 4 Arizona in Oklahoma City, Okla. UA erupted for five runs in the fifth to back a Taryne Mowatt shutout to win its eighth title.

The Tennessee Lady Vol softball team received its fifth consecutive bid to the NCAA Field of 64 and played host to its fourth consecutive NCAA Regional in 2008. UT managed a 3-2 overall record in the event, being eliminated in the championship contest by eventual Women’s College World Series participant Virginia Tech and its All-American hurler Angela Tincher by a 4-2 count. The Big Orange rode a combined one-hit shutout from Megan Rhodes and Ashton Ward to a 3-0 victory over Winthrop in both teams’ opener, marking UT’s 10 straight NCAA Regional victory dating back to 2004. Va. Tech utilized 14 strikeouts from Tincher and a surprise grand slam from No. 9 hitter Caroline Stolle to race past Tennessee 4-0 and drop the Lady Vols into the loser’s bracket. Forced into action again later that day, UT blew out Louisville, 8-1, as freshman Jen Lapicki blasted a homer and knocked in four runs. With two teams remaining with a chance at NCAA Super Regionals, UT had to beat Tech twice in the same day to advance. The Big Orange used the Erinn Webb power show to drop the Hokies 7-1 in the opener as the Hemet, Calif., native hammered two home runs in the triumph. Up 1-0 after three innings and with the momentum, UT was undone by a 50-minute rain delay. Following the break, Tech responded with a four-run top of the fourth to eventually prevail 4-2 and send UT home early.

The 2009 Tennessee Lady Vol softball team secured the program’s sixth consecutive trip to NCAA Regionals as the nation’s No. 13 seed for the second straight year. Hosting the regional round for the fifth consecutive season, UT advanced to the championship round of the event at Lee Stadium before dropping back-to-back match-ups to upstart Jacksonville State and ending its season at 40-18-1 overall. A clutch RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning from freshman third baseman Jessica Spigner backed 1.1 frames of scoreless relief by senior hurler Danielle Pieroni as Tennessee outlasted James Madison in its regional opener, 4-3. A 5-2 triumph over Nebraska on the strength of a clutch three-run, second-inning double by pinch hitter Ashton Ward sent the Big Orange through to face JSU for a place in NCAA Super Regionals. Jacksonville State wasted little time in getting to UT for a pair of runs in the second frame and four more in the sixth on the way to a 6-1 victory to force a championship-deciding game. Despite jumping in front 1-0 dur-ing the opening inning on a sacrifice fly from junior catcher Tiffany Huff, Tennessee watched the Gamecocks rally for single tallies in the top of the fourth and fifth innings versus Pieroni to eventually prevail, 2-1, and advance through to the best-of-three Super Regionals.

2010 NCAA KNOXVILLE REGIONAL (3-0)Knoxville, Tenn.May 21-23, 2010

Front row (l-r): Ashley Andrews, Kat Dotson, Morgan Fowler, Holly Baker, Kelly Grieve, Nicole Kajitani, Andi Williamson,

Lauren Gibson, Melissa Brown, Megan Givens.Back row (l-r): Shelby Burchell, Erinn Webb, Leah Taylor,

Cat Hosfield, Ivy Renfroe, Whitney Hammond, Raven Chavanne, Tiffany Huff, Jessica Spigner.

Tennessee picked up the national No. 15 seeding and earned the right to host NCAA Regionals in Knoxville for the sixth straight season. UT swept its three match-ups to advance on to a best-of-three Super Regional for the first time since 2007. In the opener versus Ball State, UT freshman pitcher Ivy Renfroe tossed a four-hit shutout in her first NCAA Tournament action as the Lady Vols pre-vailed, 5-0. Rookie second baseman Lauren Gibson had the big blow at the plate with a tone-setting, two-run homer during the Lady Vols’ three-run first inning. The Big Orange set numerous NCAA program records, including those for most single-game runs, hits and RBIs, in an 11-2 rout of Virginia to advance to the Knoxville Regional title tilt for the sixth consecutive campaign. Freshman left fielder Raven Chavanne equaled a program NCAA mark with four hits as part of a 4-for-5, two-RBI effort, while junior center fielder Kelly Grieve went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBIs and sophomore third baseman Jessica Spigner was 2-for-5 with two RBIs. Between Tennessee and its fourth all-time berth in the NCAA Super Regionals was Louisville, making its third trip to Knoxville for NCAA’s after previous visits in 2006 & 2008. UL struck first on a HR by clean-up hitter Chelsea Bemis in the second inning. A two-out single by Grieve and an RBI double off the bat of Spigner tied the score at 1-1 in the fifth. With regulation play not enough, the match-up progressed to the ninth frame where a lead-off double by Gibson started a two-run UT outburst. Sophomore pitcher Cat Hosfield, who had fired eight innings of four-hit ball, gave way to Renfroe in the circle. The 6-0 right hander worked a perfect ninth for the save as UT advanced on to super regionals.

For the fourth time in program history, Tennessee earned its way to Oklahoma City for the Women’s College World Series and for the fourth time in the last six seasons, UT secured a top three national finish. The Big Orange opened its stay at the event with a 9-0 (5 inn.) rout of eventual WCWS finalist No. 3 Arizona and then bested Southeastern Conference Eastern Division rival No. 9 Georgia, 7-5, to reach the semifinal round. Unfortunately, needing just one win to reach the best-of-three WCWS Championship Series, UT suffered back-to-back losses to the Wildcats to finish its magical year at No. 3 in the national rankings and with a 49-15 overall record.

2010 NCAA ANN ARBOR SUPER REGIONAL (2-0)Ann Arbor, Mich.May 27-28, 2010

Back in the NCAA Super Regionals for the first time since 2007, Tennessee was sent on the road to face No. 2 national seed Michigan. The powerful Wolverines entered the best-of three series having won 36 consecutive games at the Wilpon Softball Complex in Ann Arbor, Mich., dating back to the 2009 season. Right from the start in the series opener, UT freshman pitcher Ivy Renfroe took control from the circle, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning in an eventual 5-0 upset of the Maize & Blue. Junior center fielder Kelly Grieve proved the heroine at the plate by contributing three, two-out RBIs during the shocking Big Orange victory. With sophomore hurler Cat Hosfield keeping Michigan’s bats in check over the first four innings of game two, Tennessee used the long ball to race to a commanding 4-0 advantage. Seniors Nicole Kajitani and Erinn Webb blasted back-to-back home runs in the second inning, while Webb followed two innings later with her second big fly of the contest. UM clawed back within a run at 4-3 and loaded the bases with one out in the seventh against reliever Renfroe. The 6-0 righthander struck out dangerous third baseman Maggie Viefhaus and got catcher Roya St. Clair to line sharply to Ashley Andrews at short to set off Big Orange jubilation.

Tennessee improved to a staggering 4-0 all-time in WCWS opening games with a 9-0 (5 inn.) rout of #3 Arizona to advance on into the winner’s bracket. The nine runs marked the most scored by the Lady Vols in a WCWS contest and the victory continued UT’s perfect run through the NCAA Tournament to that point, improving to 6-0. Freshman pitcher Ivy Renfroe limited the dangerous Wildcats to just three hits in a complete game to move to 30-4 on the season and become the only Lady Vol pitcher not named Monica Abbott to win 30 games in a season and post a victory at the WCWS. Senior first baseman Erinn Webb and sophomore third baseman Jessica Spigner each knocked in two runs to lead the offense. UA hurler Kenzie Fowler helped UT’s cause by being called for numerous illegal pitches from the circle, including one that plated Tennessee’s first run in the third.

A clutch grand slam from senior first baseman Erinn Webb helped power No. 16 Tennessee past old league rival No. 9 Georgia, 7-5, and advance the Lady Vols on to the WCWS semifinal round. Freshman pitcher Ivy Renfroe went the whole way from the circle, striking out 10 Bulldogs while recording her 14th career complete game to improve to 5-0 with a 1.21 ERA and 42 K’s in 34.2 innings of work dur-ing NCAA Tournament action. Four UGA pitches helped UT nab a 2-0 lead in the second frame before Webb blew things open with her third inning grand slam. Georgia rallied late, cutting its deficit to 7-5 and bringing the potential tying run to the plate in the seventh inning. A Renfroe K and a stellar play on a bouncer to third by Jessica Spigner ended the drama as UT prevailed.

Facing elimination from the WCWS, No. 3 Arizona turned the tables on No. 16 UT by downing the Big Orange by run-rule, 8-0 (5 inn.), and forcing an “if necessary” contest for a berth in the best-of-three championship series. UA pitchers Kenzie Fowler and Sarah Akamine limited the Big Orange offense to just two hits (senior catcher Tiffany Huff, freshman pinch hitter Melissa Brown), while Ivy Renfroe took the loss for UT after allowing three runs on four hits with five K’s in 2.2 innings. Brittany Lastrapes and Karissa Buchanan each posted two RBIs for the ‘Cats.

Senior first baseman Erinn Webb races toward the plate ready to celebrate her crucial third-inning grand slam that gave #16 Tennessee a 6-0 lead over #9 Georgia in winners bracket action at the 2010 Women’s College World Series. The Big Orange eventually hung on to upset the Bulldogs, 7-5, moving within one victory of a berth in the best-of-three WCWS Championship Series.

As always Tennessee enjoyed tremendous fan support at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Okla. Despite temperatures that soared to as high as 105 degrees during the day, the Lady Vol fans hung in to cheer on UT through four high-profile match-ups.

Despite racing to a 2-0 lead heading into the bottom of the third inning, Tennessee was eliminated from the WCWS by No. 3 Arizona, 5-2. A bases-loaded walk by UT freshman second baseman Lauren Gibson granted the Lady Vols a 1-0 lead in the first and things looked promising as the Big Orange had entered the contest 39-4 in 2010 when scoring first. A beautiful Gibson slide around the UA catcher on a bloop single by senior catcher Tiffany Huff made it 2-0 in the top of third. Unfortunately for Tennessee, Arizona’s Stacie Chambers dead-locked the score at 2-2 on a two-run bomb in the bottom of the third. A one-out single by Bridgette Del Ponte in the fifth gave UA its first lead of the game. From there Brittany Lastrapes added a two-run HR just inside the right field fair pole to finalize the score at 5-2.

Freshman pitcher Ivy Renfroe chats postgame with ESPN reporter Holly Rowe after firing a three-hit shutout versus #3 Arizona. The 9-0 (5 inn.) victory marked the Jackson, Tenn., native’s first career appearance at the WCWS.

When the annual NCAA bracket was announced, Tennessee, fresh off a thrilling SEC Tournament title run, was surprised to earn a lower-than-expected No. 14-seed in the field of 64. UT’s reward was perhaps the tough-est regional in the country as three of the top 18 teams in the RPI would battle it out in Knoxville. In the opener against Liberty, Ivy Renfroe was dominant in the circle, firing her third career no-hitter to back a Lady Vol offense that scored eight two-out runs in an 8-0 (5 inn.) victory. Freshman Madison Shipman ended a seven-run, seventh inning outburst with a walk-off grand slam. Despite out-hitting Oklahoma State, 9-8, UT dropped into the los-ers bracket by suffering a 6-1 defeat at the hands of the Cowgirls. With Tennessee forced to play again on May 21 in an attempt to avoid elimina-tion, sophomore Lauren Gibson blasted a pair of homers to back another Ivy Renfroe masterpiece (two-hitter) as the Big Orange cruised past No. 19 Georgia Tech, 7-0. On championship Sunday UT knew it would have to defeat OSU twice to advance to NCAA Super Regionals. The Lady Vols rallied from deficits on a pair of occasions, even grabbing a 4-3 lead in the fifth, before the Cowgirls erupted for three tallies in the sixth. Down to its last chance, Tennessee man-aged to plate a run in the top of the seventh via a sacrifice fly. With a runner at second and two down, Gibson ripped a single to left. Unfortunately for the Big Orange, Kelly Grieve was thrown out at the plate to end the season.

At the annual Women’s College World Series, Abbott was presented with the prestigious USA Softball National Player of the Year award after a season during which she won 50 games and struck out 724.

CAREER ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The scream of delight from Abbott in the background tells the whole story. On May 6, 2007, at Tyson Park in Knoxville, Tenn., the 6-3 lefthander struck out Alabama’s Charlotte Morgan to end the first inning. The K was number 2,266 in her illustrious career to break the record of former Texas and U.S. pitcher Cat Osterman who was in attendance working for ESPN.

Monica Abbott in the circle, a face of utter concentration as she prepares to throw a practice pitch during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.

One of the best parts of the Olympic experience and attending the University of Tennessee is the impressive number of fellow Lady Vols who also make the trip in various sports. Here Abbott catches up with former Tennessee basketball players Candace Parker and Kara Lawson before opening ceremonies.

A moment that Abbott had long dreamed about, receiving her Olympic medal at the medal ceremony at Fengtai Softball Stadium.

Former Tennessee Lady Vol pitcher Monica Abbott was selected to represent her country as part of the prestigious United States Softball Team at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the People’s Republic of China. Dur-ing her stay at the international competition, the Sali-nas, Calif., native performed superbly from the circle in helping guide Team USA to a silver medal. Her stat line was staggering: a squad-best 3-0 record, a 0.29 ERA, 32 strikeouts in just 24 innings of work while allowing the opposition to hit at just a .076 clip. The 6-3 lefthander also became the first American pitcher in Olympic his-tory to fire a perfect game by blanking the Netherlands. Unfortunately a shocking defeat in the championship game to world power Japan cost Team USA the gold, but Abbott made the most of the experience. The pagentry of the opening and closing ceremonies, the Olympic Vil-lage, visiting with athletes from all over the world, the heart-pounding competition. In her own words, it was something she will never forget.

Abbott made her triumphant homecoming to Lee Softball Stadium and the University of Tennessee in front of a packed house of 1,622 fans on April 12, 2008, as the hurler and the U.S. Olympic Softball Team defeated the Lady Vols, 4-2. The 6-3 lefthander fired a complete game two-hitter with 11 strikeouts. Her former team did manage a pair of solo homers to nab a 2-0 lead and led the prestigious squad into the fifth inning before succumbing.
