[UTKVolsfan2013]

GOAL NUMBER 2 less than 10 minutes in! MA Vignola fights her way into the box and passes to finds Michelle Alozie on the other end for the goal!

 

[StrangeVol]

I almost signed up for ESPN+...just wasn't sure how much I'd use it in the future.

Thanks for the summaries!

 

[StrangeVol]

Well, the first half went about as well as it could. We only allowed 1 shot on goal while taking 4 and scoring twice. Pretty solid half.

 

[UTKVolsfan2013]

Halftime still 2-0 Tennessee! Pretty much has looked like the Fordham and Mercer games, dominating possession and creating good opportunities to score.

 

[StrangeVol]

I'm hoping to get the video of the Volleyball match which starts real soon. We'll see if the Big10 network shares it free.

*RATS* No joy on the video...they don't recognize Sling as a TV provider although they do recognize Dish...which is the parent of Sling.

 

[UTKVolsfan2013]

Pulling dual screens right now with soccer and volleyball I love it! Volleyball down 7-6 in 1st set right now and still up 2-0 for soccer.

 

[StrangeVol]

Okay...,I got nothing on Volleyball...Live Stats aren't even working....so update when you can...I'd appreciate it.

 

[UTKVolsfan2013]

Will do! Hulu Live TV is what I'm using for volleyball! 10-9 Illinois right now, looks like we're in for another fight. Serve receive has to tighten up and Illinois doing a good job taking us out of system.
SET 1 UPDATES:
TO Tennessee. 13-10 Illinois. Got to have somebody besides Tessa taking big swings for us.

Our service game was not good last season...it doesn't look like we've improved on it this season. Tessa has a real hard time returning serve.

 

[StrangeVol]

Good to get that 3rd goal all three by different players. MA needs a goal to go with her assist.

We seem to be giving a lot of fouls...5 so far. I wonder if the refs are calling it a little closer than we are used to?

 

[UTKVolsfan2013]

Which is so unfortunate because Tessa has such a great serve! Coulter already has two aces in this set so already better than last night but we also have two service errors.

19-16 Illinois. The block for Illinois getting touches on Tennessee swings to slow them down. Mahaffey having a good first set tooling that block though. Floor defense has been good, block needs to catch up to it.

TO Illinois. 19-18 Illinois 1st set. Offense stayed in system and got good swings for Tessa.

TO Tennessee. 21-19 Illinois. Quade for Illinois is something special but Tessa is really going back and forth with her.

TO Illinois. 23-22 Illinois. Block getting better on right side. Loving the freshman Morgahn Fingall! Need to read the setter better, getting fooled on dumps on the second ball.

Illinois takes Set 1 25-22. Two errors on swings by Lady Vols to end set. Last one was a questionable call that went the way of Illinois.

Soccer update: GOAL NUMBER 3 by Alicia Donley on a ball rolling around in the box.

 

[StrangeVol]

Blocking was our problem area Friday night as well...floor defense was outstanding but blocking was really spotty.

Onlylhitting .132 at present they're at .308...not good!

 

[StrangeVol]

Looks like they took set 1, 25-22...or so the Live Stats says.

 

[UTKVolsfan2013]

Set 2 underway Tennessee takes first point. Illinois took set 1 to go up 1-0.

 

[UTKVolsfan2013]

7-5 Tennessee in set 2. Fingall getting some good swings! Serving being very tough to start out this set from Madison Werdell another freshman.

FINGALL WITH A MONSTER BLOCK 8-6 TENNESSEE

 

[StrangeVol]

So we get the win over Columbia 3 - nil! Good to get the W to bring back home. Shame we couldn't take one from Rutgers as well.

 

[StrangeVol]

Looks like we may have figured something out this set...let's see if it holds up!

 

[UTKVolsfan2013]

TO Illinois. 12-7 TENNESSEE. Fingall and serving have still been the story of the set. Sedona even getting in on the action with a slam on an overpass by Illinois.

 

[StrangeVol]

I just love Sedona...she is a gamer for sure! Any signs of Lily getting involved?

 

[UTKVolsfan2013]

TO Tennessee. 12-9 Tennessee.

Lily has been out there but it's been more of Mahaffey and Fingall to go along with Tessa today. Both have been more aggressive on their swings and in blocking.
