Scouting Ohio State Tennessee and Ohio State have met just once pre-

viously with the Buckeyes taking a 1-0 decision dur-ing NCAA Sweet 16 action back on Nov. 21, 2004, in Columbus, Ohio. The Scarlet & Gray got the match-winner at the 80:34 mark. Current UT assistant coach Keeley Dowling was a senior on that Lady Vol squad. OSU enters NCAA play at 10-8-2 and 5-5-1 in Big

Ten action, fi nishing seventh in the 12-member con-ference standings. The Buckeyes are just a season removed from an appearance in the Women’s College Cup where they lost to eventual national champion Notre Dame, 1-0. Ohio State Head Coach Lori Walker is a former teammate of UT Coach Angela Kelly’s at North Carolina. Senior F Paige Maxwell leads the Buckeyes with 14

total points on 3 G and 8 A, while junior F Tiff any Cam-eron leads the squad with 6 G. In all seven diff erent OSU players have totaled at least two scores in 2011. Between the pipes senior GK Katie Baumgardner is 9-7-2 with a 0.96 GAA, 59 saves and six solo shutouts in 20 matches played. Ohio State’s off ense has totaled 25 goals in 20 con-

tests for a 1.25 goals-per-match average, while its de-fense has limited the opposition to just 20 scores (1.00 goals-per-match). UT has tickled the twine 42 times in 2011 (2.00 GPM), while the defense has permitted just 18 tallies (0.86 GPM). The Lady Vols are 3-1 against ranked teams this year while OSU is 2-3-1.

Big Orange Slices...

Back in the NCAA Tournament Again! Following a two-year drought, the Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team has earned its way back into the an-

nual NCAA Field of 64 by picking up one of the top 16 national seeds in the 2011 bracket. UT will open its run as a #4-seed by hosting Ohio State on Sat., Nov. 12, at 2 p.m. ET at the Regal Soccer Stadium.

For the Big Orange this marks the program’s ninth all-time visit to the NCAA Tournament after previously participating in every NCAA event over a stretch from 2001-08. Tennessee possesses a 10-7-2 all-time record in tourney play with fi ve NCAA Sweet 16 appearances (2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 & 2007) and is 9-0-1 OVER FIVE PREVIOUS STINTS HOSTING TOURNAMENT ACTION IN KNOXVILLE.

The NCAA Tournament format has been altered for this season with 32 teams now hosting opening round action on the initial weekend of play before the second and third round are contested on Nov. 18 & 20, respectively. Until the change in schedule prior to this year, 16 sites hosted both fi rst and second round action on the opening weekend.

We’ve Seen the Buckeyes Before in NCAA Play... Tennessee and Ohio State have met just once before in program history, and it occurred in the NCAA

Sweet 16 in Columbus, Ohio, back on Nov. 21, 2004. The #6 Buckeyes managed a goal from Lisa Grubb at the 80:34 mark to record a 1-0 victory over #10 Tennessee. Both teams registered 14 shots in the match, with a last ditch eff ort for an equalizer on a header by UT’s Lyndsey Patterson drifting just wide of frame at 89:42.

The defeat ended the careers of a sterling Lady Vol senior class (included current UT assistant coach Keeley Dowling, Sue Flamini, Lyndsey Patterson, Kristin McGrath, Mimi Couns, Ashley Dawes and Kayla Lockaby) that had led the Big Orange to a four-year record of 63-22-6, four NCAA Tournament appearances, three NCAA Sweet 16 visits, three SEC Eastern Division titles, two SEC regular-season crowns and two SEC Tournament championships.

Tennessee Head Coach Angela Kelly (at UNC from 1991-1994) is also very familar with OSU Head Coach Lori Walker (at UNC from 1989-1993) as the pair were soccer teammates at North Carolina from 1991-93. A standout goalkeeper, Walker won three NCAA titles, three Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) crowns and lost only one match in her career as a Tarheel. An eventual All-American midfi elder, Kelly entered UNC’s program in 1991 on her way to four NCAA titles and a career mark of 97-1-1.

Against the 2011 NCAA Field The Big Orange played 12 total matches this season against squads that received a bid into the 2011

NCAA Tournament, posting a 6-6 OVERALL MARK in those contests. Tennessee was 1-0 against Kansas, Georgia, Florida and Texas A&M, 1-1 versus Auburn and Kentucky and 0-1 against South Carolina, LSU, UCLA and Alabama. Four of those teams (UCLA - #2, Florida - #2, Auburn - #3, Texas A&M - #3) received one of the 16 national seeds in the fi eld of 64.

Getting the Job Done in the Classroom Tennessee sophomore Caroline Brown has been getting the job done in the classroom as well as on

the pitch for the Big Orange in 2011. The Hershey, Pa., became the eighth all-time Lady Vol soccer player to receive CAPITAL ONE ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT HONORS, while also picking up the program’s 13th overall district selection. In possession of a sterling 3.90 GPA in Communications, Brown now advances on to the national ballot, becoming eligible for potential Academic All-America accolades. On the fi eld, the 5-9 forward has totaled 11 goals and a team-best eight assists for 30 total points in helping UT to a 15-6 overall record.

One of UT’s All-Time Best Defenses! The combination of Tennessee’s backline (most frequently made up of freshman Allie Sirna, junior Ali

Hall and sophomores Tori Bailey and Caroline Capocaccia) and freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel have worked to turn in one of the best defensive seasons in Lady Vol soccer history. UT has permitted JUST 18 OPPONENT SCORES OVER ITS OPENING 21 MATCHES, rating as the fourth-best goals allowed mark in school history just a single score behind the 2003, 2004 & 2007 Big Orange defenses. The 2003 & 2004 UT “D” was anchored by current Tennessee soccer assistant coach and then-senior All-American defender Keeley Dowling. A look at the fi nest 21-match defensive eff orts in Lady Vol history is below:

More SEC Honors... The dynamic Tennessee forward duo of senior Emily Dowd (six goals, four assists in SEC action) and sopho-

more Caroline Brown (four goals, fi ve assists in SEC action) were awarded ALL-SOUTHEASTERN CONFER-ENCE SECOND TEAM accolades while goalkeeper Julie Eckel (7-4 record, 0.97 GAA, 59 saves, fi ve shutouts in SEC action) was tabbed to the SEC ALL-FRESHMAN TEAM for their outstanding eff orts during the conference season. By virtue of their selections, they became the 24th, 25th, and 26th Lady Vols to be honored as All-SEC in program history and give the Big Orange 49 all-time nods to the all-conference squads. In all, 43 of those 49 selections have occurred during the 12-season tenure of head coach Angela Kelly.

Off to One of Our Best Starts EVER! At 15-6-0 overall through its fi rst 21 matches, Tennessee is off to one of the best starts to a campaign in

program history. The best previous 21-match opening to a season was 15-4-2 (2003, 2004 & 2007). A list of the top 22-match openings is below:

Best 22-Match Records 1) 2004 16-4-2 4) 2007 15-5-2 2) 2003 16-4-2 5) 2005 15-5-2 3) 2002 16-5-1

Went on Another Shutout Streak! Apparently a school record streak of 471:10 from Aug. 26-Sept. 23 of this season wasn’t enough for the

2011 version of the Lady Vol soccer team. Until allowing a goal to Kentucky at the 10:41 mark in its opener at the SEC Tournament, the Big Orange had KEPT THE OPPOSITION OFF THE SCOREBOARD FOR THE LAST 266:44 dating back to the fi rst half against Alabama on Oct. 20. It rated as the 12th longest shutout skein in school history.

2011 PRESEASON COACHES POLLLooking at the Trends At this point in any season certain trends begin developing statistically with a team and Tennessee soccer in

2011 is certainly no diff erent. Entering the SEC Tournament, the Lady Vols are an impressive 11-1-0 during day matches but just 4-5-0 during night contests. UT is a perfect 8-0-0 when leading at the half, but only 1-4-0 when behind at the break and 7-6-0 when trailing or tied at the half. The Big Orange is 13-0-0 in contests in which they total at least two goals and just 2-6-0 when scoring a single tally or less. Tennessee is also 13-2-0 when permit-ting one goal or less and just 2-4-0 when allowing two or more scores.

Making The First Shot Count The Lady Vols have made a habit of making their fi rst shot really count. Five times this season (Charlotte,

Coastal Carolina, #6 Florida, Arkansas, #22 Auburn) Tennessee has scored a goal on its initial attempt of the con-test. Sophomore forward Caroline Brown turned the feat in back-to-back matches at 1:51 versus Charlotte (5-0 on 9/9) and at 4:04 against Coastal Carolina (4-0 on 9/16), junior forward Alexis Owens found paydirt at 4:05 of the 4-2 victory over the sixth-ranked Gators (9/25), senior forward Emily Dowd tickled the twine on the fi rst shot at 6:44 during the 4-0 rout at Arkansas (10/2) and most recently, junior midfi elder Amy Harrison scored just 2:33 into a 2-0 win over #22 Auburn (10/23).

UT Has THREE of Top Drawer Soccer’s Top 20 SEC Players Top Drawer Soccer has released a list of what it deems the Top 20 Players in Southeastern Conference soccer

and the Lady Vols are well represented. Sophomore forward Caroline Brown came in at #5, senior forward Em-ily Dowd was #8 and senior forward Chelsea Hatcher rated #16. Tennessee joined Florida and LSU as the only three league schools to boast a trio of players on the illustrious listing.

Chalk Up Another Rare Feat Achieved Only once before in Lady Vol soccer history had two players totaled 10 or more goals during the same sea-

son. That occurred back during 1998 as Allison Campbell (17 goals) and Laura Lauter (12 goals) crossed into double-digits. Well Tennessee sophomore forward Caroline Brown (11 goals) and senior forward Emily Dowd (12 goals) have joined that duo in 2011. Brown scored her 10th during the thrilling rally past Ole Miss on Oct. 7, while Dowd hit double fi gures with her match-winner against Mississippi State on Oct. 9.

It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over! The old adage proved especially true for the Big Orange soccer squad on Fri., Oct. 7, as Tennessee showed its

match truly wasn’t over till it was over against Ole Miss. UT spotted the Rebels a 3-0 lead at the half before the Lady Vols began a stirring rally to post a 4-3 (OT) victory on senior forward Chelsea Hatcher’s “golden goal” at 91:33. The occurrence marked the LARGEST COMEBACK IN UT SOCCER HISTORY and also just the fourth time in UT annals that the team allowed three goals during a match and still managed to win. The Orange & White spotted #15 Duke a 3-1 halftime lead back on Aug. 27, 2004, before rallying for a 4-3 (OT) triumph. Tennessee also emerged victorious over Georgia (4-3, OT) on Oct. 27, 2000, and Colorado College (7-5) on Nov. 1, 1998.

Eckel Now Holds the Freshman UT Keeper Records By virtue of a 1-0 shutout win at Vanderbilt on Oct. 16, rookie net minder Julie Eckel has now taken control

of the freshman single-season goalkeeping standards in Lady Vol history. Former Big Orange net minder Ellen Dean owned the previous rookie records of 11 victories and 5.3 shutouts established back in 1998 in helping Tennessee to a 12-8 overall record. Eckel currently sits at 15 WINS AND EIGHT SOLO SHUTOUTS THROUGH JUST HER FIRST 21 MATCHES in the Orange & White, leaving the Cordova, Tenn., native with plenty of op-portunity to expand her new records down the stretch in 2011. Former Lady Vol GK Sarah Kitchin set the rookie mark for goals-against-average at 1.05 over just 10 matches as a sub back in 2006. Eckel is currently well ahead of that standard in possession of a 0.85 GAA.

Happened for the First Time Since 2006 Senior forward Emily Dowd has accomplished something that no Lady Vol has pulled off since Kylee Rossi

back in 2006. What is that feat you ask? Why she’s the fi rst UT player since 2006 to score two goals in a match at least three times in a single season. The Gainesville, Fla., native has already tallied a pair of scores during wins over Middle Tennessee, Coastal Carolina and Arkansas. In fact, since Head Coach Angela Kelly took over the program in 2000, Dowd and Rossi are the only Tennessee players to accomplish it. During Kelly’s time at Rocky Top no one has ever scored two or more goals in a match four times in a year.

A Career Match & Week for Alexis Owens! Junior Alexis Owens truly made her fi rst start of the 2011 campaign a memorable one by registering the

FIRST TENNESSEE HAT TRICK since Kayla Lockaby turned the feat back on Sept. 8, 2002, and only the 10th in UT history, during the Big Orange’s 4-2 victory over #6 Florida (9/25). She had entered the match with just two career goals over 43 matches to that point in her collegiate career.

As a result of her incredible eff ort, the Carmel, Ind., native also got to celebrate a highly-acclaimed week. The 5-6 forward was chosen as both the UT program’s fi rst-ever Soccer America Women’s National Player of the Week and NSCAA/Disney National Soccer Player of the Week. She was also included on the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week, as one of CollegeSoccer360.com’s National Primetime Performers and as the Southeastern Conference’s Co-Off ensive Player of the Week.

For her selection as the NSCAA/Disney National Soccer Player of the Week, Owens was recognized on FOX Soccer Channel’s live broadcast of the North Carolina-Duke men’s soccer match on Fri., Sept. 30.

Brown/Dowd/Eckel and the Single Season Top 10 Tennessee sophomore forward Caroline Brown has now entered the Lady Vol single season Top 10 for

points, rating in a tie for eighth with 30. The Hershey, Pa., native currently possesses 11 goals and eight assists in 2011, good enough for a tie for 10th and eighth, respectively, in those categories.

Senior forward Emily Dowd is also nearing the top 10 in all three single season ratings, currently tied for fi fth in points with 31, tied for third in goals with 12 and needing one more assist (seven) to enter the lists.

Freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel currently rates third in UT single-season history in goals-against-average (0.85), tied for fi fth in wins (15) and is fi fth in solo shutouts (eight). For the single season Tennessee soccer marks please go to page six of these notes.

Looking at the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) The pre-NCAA Tournament NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) for women’s soccer was released on Nov.

9 and the Southeastern Conference boasted eight of the top 50 teams in the listing. Florida led the way at #8, followed by Auburn (#15), Kentucky (#24), TENNESSEE (#25), LSU (#35), South Carolina (#37), Alabama (#43) and Georgia (#46). The RPI is one of the factors utilized by the NCAA in handing out tourney seeds and slots in the annual NCAA Field of 64. It consists of three factors that are weighted as follows: a team’s Division I winning percentage (25%), opponent strength of schedule (50%) and opponents’ opponent strength of schedule (25%).

Notes...

The Defense Kept Putting Up Zeroes! Tennessee’s defensive backline made quite a statement from Aug. 26-Sept. 23 by continually putting zeroes up on the opponent’s side of the scoreboard. The

Orange & White pitched a school record FIVE CONSECUTIVE SHUTOUTS (#18 Texas A&M, Middle Tennessee, UNC Greensboro, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina) and held the opposition scoreless over a PROGRAM RECORD STRETCH OF 471:10 from a Bruin goal at 84:22 during UT’s 2-1 loss to then-#8 UCLA on Aug. 26 until the 15:32 mark of the 2-1 (2OT) loss to South Carolina on Sept. 23 (parts of seven matches). Between the pipes freshman Julie Eckel stopped 23 straight opponent shots on frame during the shutout streak.

Dowd’s Doing Work Senior forward Emily Dowd was wreaking havoc early on in 2011 by drawing three separate penalty kick calls inside the 18 that were often cashed in by others.

Now the Gainesville, Fla., native is inputting herself on the stat sheet in a major way, having scored 12 GOALS AND DISHED SEVEN ASSISTS over Tennessee’s last 17 matches (Middle Tennessee, UNC Greensboro, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina, South Carolina, #6 Florida, LSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Alabama, #22 Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky - SEC, Auburn - SEC). Included in that output are her THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH-CAREER MULTIPLE-GOAL EFFORTS (vs. Middle Tennessee, Coastal Carolina, at Arkansas), fi ve-point performances with two scores and an assist during both 4-0 routs of Coastal Carolina and Arkansas and a goal and an assist in the 4-2 win over the sixth-ranked Gators. Her eff ort against Coastal Carolina earned Dowd her fi rst career nod as the Southeastern Confer-ence’s Off ensive Player of the Week (Sept. 19).

Loads of Success Against NCAA Teams Tennessee came up big during the season against programs that were a part of the 2010 NCAA Tournament. UT was 6-3 against last year’s entrants into the NCAA

Field of 64 with wins over Oklahoma, #18 Texas A&M, Middle Tennessee, UNC Greensboro, #6 Florida and #22 Auburn and losses to #8 UCLA (2-1), South Carolina (2-1, 2OT) and Auburn (SEC Tournament, 2-0)

Still Listed in the Rankings! The stay in the national soccer polls continues for the Tennessee Lady Vols during the week of Nov. 7-13. UT is currently No. 25 in the Top Drawer Soccer listing

but is out of the Soccer America rankings after entering that poll on Sept. 5 for the fi rst time since September 2008. UT is among those receiving votes in this week’s NSCAA/Continental Tire and SoccerTimes.com polls.

After starting off the campaign at 3-1 and upsetting then-#18 Texas A&M (1-0), Tennessee appeared in the national rankings for the fi rst time since Aug. 24, 2009, (#23 in the Top Drawer Soccer poll) on Aug. 30, 2011, climbing to #23 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire coaches poll and to #18 in the SoccerTimes.com listing. The last time UT had previously found itself among those teams in the weekly NSCAA coaches poll was on Sept. 9, 2008, also at #23.

Call Her “Caroline Clutch” Tennessee sophomore Caroline Brown wasted little time in demonstrating her off ensive prowess to open her second season in the Orange & White. The Hershey,

Pa., native tallied three goals, including posting the fi rst two-goal match of her career (vs. Oklahoma), with two of those being match-winners as the Lady Vols toppled Kansas (2-1, OT) and Oklahoma (3-1).

Brown was called upon for another penalty kick, this one against #18 Texas A&M in the 34th minute, and she knocked it home as UT posted a 1-0 upset of the high-powered defending Big 12 champion Aggies. The 5-9 forward now owns 14 career scores while amazingly, EIGHT OF THOSE GOALS ARE OF THE MATCH-WINNING VARIETY.

With Tennessee locked in a scoreless duel late in regulation against Middle Tennessee (9/2), Brown delivered the fi rst two-assist match of her career on a pair of perfect passes from the left wing to the far post that Emily Dowd buried in the twine just 1:17 apart as UT posted a 2-0 victory. In a 5-0 romp over Charlotte (9/9), she recorded her second two-goal eff ort of the season and set the early tone off ensively for the Lady Vols with a score just 1:51 into the match. Versus Coastal Carolina (9/16), she again registered the winner on a goal just 4:04 into the 4-0 rout of the Chanticleers. Brown scored the tying goal at 53:16 of an eventual 2-1 (2OT) loss to South Carolina, dished two more assists in UT’s 4-2 victory over #6 Florida, posted a goal and an assist as Tennessee routed Arkansas, 4-0 (10/2) and picked up the win-ner at 49:41 of a 2-0 win at Georgia (10/29).

With 30 total points (11 goals, eight assists) over the Big Orange’s opening 21 contests of 2011, Brown has long surpassed her entire freshman season point output of eight points (three goals, two assists) done over 18 matches.

For her eff orts during the road wins at KU and OU, Brown received nods as both the Southeastern Conference’s Off ensive Player of the Week (8/22) and as one of CollegeSoccer360.com’s Primetime Performers of the Week.

Referees Keep Pointing to the Spot! Tennessee soccer has drawn fi ve penalty kick calls this year against the opposition. That’s already more than the Big Orange has ever drawn in any SINGLE

SEASON! Twice previously the Lady Vols had attempted four PK’s in a season, 2001 (2-for-4) and 2003 (3-for-4). UT is 3-for-5 on opportunities this year with two put away by Caroline Brown and one by Kylie Bono. Senior forward Emily Dowd has wreaked the most havoc

inside the 18, drawing three of those penalties via her quick footwork in the box, while Brown and junior forward Alexis Owens also drew PK’s.

Check Us Out On the Tube in 2011 Tennessee soccer fans had three opportunities to check out the Big Orange on television during the 2011 regular season. UT was 3-0 on TV this year, having

downed Florida (Sept. 25 at 1 p.m. ET on CSS), 4-2, topped Vanderbilt (Oct. 16 at 1 p.m. CT) live on Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS), 1-0, and defeated #22 Auburn (Oct. 23 at 1 p.m. ET) live on FSN, 2-0. The Orange & White has seen a great deal of success on television during the program’s 16-year history, boasting a 28-9-3 (.738) RECORD IN 40 ALL-TIME APPEARANCES on the tube. Last season, Tennessee was 2-2 overall on TV with wins over Ole Miss (CSS) and Alabama (CSS) and losses at #13 Florida (SUN Sports) and at #14 South Carolina (ESPNU).

LADY VOL SINGLE SEASON RECORDSGetting Off to a Good Start in SEC Play is Important Tennessee is 9-6-1 all-time in SEC lidlifters and 7-4-1 in such match-ups under the guidance of 12th year

head coach Angela Kelly. At the Regal Soccer Stadium in SEC schedule openers, UT is 6-2-0 with the only losses occurring to No. 17 Vanderbilt back during the inaugural season of 1996 and to South Carolina this season (2-1, 2OT) on Sept. 23.

Early Success on the Road Has Often Been Elusive By defeating Kansas and Oklahoma on the road over Aug. 19 & 21, the occurrence marked the fi rst time that

Tennessee soccer emerged victorious from its fi rst two true road matches of the season since back during the 2001 season when UT toppled #13 BYU and James Madison in Provo, Utah, and Harrisonburg, Va., respectively.

WITH ITS 2-0 WIN AT UNC GREENSBORO (9/4), TENNESSEE WON ITS FIRST THREE TRUE ROAD MATCH-ES IN A SEASON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PROGRAM HISTORY.

Perhaps every more stunning is the fact that the back-to-back victories at KU and OU marked the fi rst time in program history that Tennessee won its fi rst two matches of the season away from Knoxville (including neu-tral site contests). The closest the Big Orange had come previously was a 1-0-1 record back in 2009 against #19 Minnesota (0-0, 2OT) and Wisconsin (1-0) in Minneapolis, Minn. Once again the rugged scheduling of UT Coach Angela Kelly has often played a role in an early-season defeat.

Home Sweet Home The Lady Vols have long made winning on their home pitch a priority. At 111-36-6 (.745) all-time at the

Regal Soccer Stadium (previously the UT Soccer Complex) and 8-2 in 2011 (with wins over #18 Texas A&M, Middle Tennessee, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina, #6 Florida, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and #22 Auburn), Tennes-see has averaged nearly seven wins a campaign in the friendly confi nes over program history. Last season, the Big Orange were 7-3-1 in Knoxville with victories over Western Kentucky, Richmond, Chattanooga, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Alabama and Georgia.

One of the Top Players in the Nation! Tennessee senior forward Chelsea Hatcher found her way onto the 2011 preseason release of Top Drawer

Soccer’s Top 100 Women’s Collegiate Soccer Players in the Nation. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native comes in at #84, joining seven other Southeastern Conference soccer players in the listing. Thus far in 2011, Hatcher owns fi ve goals and fi ve assists over the opening 21 contests.

Loads of Success for Tennessee in Home Openers The Big Orange maintains a 13-3 all-time record in home openers, having suff ered a tough, 2-1 loss to #15/8

UCLA during the First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic on Aug. 26. Under the guidance of Angela Kelly, UT is 9-3 in home openers with victories over rated foes including #6 Virginia (2006), #7 Penn State (2007), #15 Duke (2004) and #16 Wake Forest (2001).

First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic History Tennessee hosted the 12th First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic over Aug. 26 & 28 at the Regal Soccer Stadium

with the Big Orange fi nishing tied with #8/7 Florida for second with identical 1-1 records. #15/8 UCLA went 2-0 to take the overall prize while #18 Texas A&M fi nished its stay in Knoxville at 0-2. UT freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel, freshman defender Allie Sirna and sophomore forward Caroline Brown were selected to the First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic All-Tournament Team.

Never Started 3-0 Did you know that despite all the success the Tennessee Lady Vol soccer program has had throughout the

years, the squad has never started a season 3-0. The 1997, 2003, 2007 and 2011 teams all opened a perfect 2-0 before dropping their next matches. A 2-1 loss to #15/8 UCLA on Aug. 26 dashed UT’s hopes of accomplishing the feat this season. Of course the major reason a loss has often materialized during the early part of the year is the daunting non-conference schedule played by head coach Angela Kelly to prepare her team for the league and postsea-son slates. Among squads that UT has faced in that second or third match throughout the years (often on the road) are such foes as perennial national titlist North Carolina and nationally-rated squads such as Portland, Southern California, Washington, West Virginia, Penn State, Virginia, Maryland and UCLA just to name a few.

The scheduling system has often seemed to pay dividends down the road as UT has won three SEC regular-season crowns, four SEC Tournament titles and been to five NCAA Sweet 16’s.

Tennessee Season Openers UT is 11-5 all-time in season openers, playing on the road or at a neutral site on eight occasions (3-5). The

Big Orange has won seven of its last nine lidlifters including its 2011 opener, a 2-1 (OT) victory over Kansas on Aug. 19 at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex in Lawrence, Kan.

A “Senior CLASS” Act! Tennessee Lady Vol midfi elder/forward Chelsea Hatcher was chosen as one of 30 national nominees for the

2011 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Women’s Soccer Award®. The accolade is given each season to a player who excels both on and off the pitch and best exemplifi es the true defi nition of a “student-athlete.”

At the end of last season, Hatcher was honored with a spot on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Region Second Team and a place on the All-Southeastern Conference First Team after leading the Big Orange in goals (eight), points (20) and shots (105). The 5-7 midfi elder/forward began the 2011 campaign with 11 career goals, six assists and 28 total points over 58 matches played during her three-year stint at Rocky Top. She had also moved into fi fth all-time in UT history by launching 224 total shots (64 on frame).

The Opening Prelude... The Big Orange opened the year with an exhibition match by traveling to Birmingham, Ala., on Fri., Aug.

12, for a 0-0 deadlock at Samford. In all, 20 diff erent Lady Vol players saw action in the contest, including eight freshmen who drew their fi rst playing time while clad in the Orange & White.

Tennessee rookie goalkeeper Julie Eckel managed fi ve saves while combining with redshirt sophomore net minder Jessica Rolfs on the shutout.

UT senior forward Chelsea Hatcher led the Tennessee off ensive eff ort with three total shots, two on frame, while junior midfi elder Kylie Bono, senior forward Lara Langworthy and junior midfi elder Amy Harrison were each credited with a drive on frame.


MATCH-BY-MATCH RESULTS

Tennessee (1-0-0) 2 1 3

Kansas (0-1-0) 0 0 0 LAWRENCE, Kan. - A penalty drawn inside the 18-yard box by Lady Vol senior forward Emily Dowd at 97:16 was converted via a match-winning penalty kick by sophomore midfielder/forward Caroline Brown as Tennessee (1-0) fought back from an early one-score deficit to top Kansas, 2-1 (OT), on Fri., Aug. 19, in both teams’ 2011 season-opener at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex in Lawrence, Kan. Kansas managed to out-shoot the Big Orange by a razor-thin, 15-14 total and registered a 7-6 advantage in shots on frame, while each squad earned six corner kicks in the contest. UT freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel earned her first career victory between the pipes by making six saves, including a match-saving stop by racing off her line with 3:31 left in overtime to thwart a breakaway by Kansas forward Ingrid Vidal. Brown led the Lady Vol offense with four shots, including the penalty kick score. Dowd and senior forward Chelsea Hatcher each tallied a trio of shots, with the former launching all three of her drives successfully on frame. The Jayhawks broke the scoreless dead-lock 13:18 into the match-up as a through ball from Whitney Berry up the middle to Jamie Fletcher gave her a step on her marker. One-on-one against Eckel, Fletcher scored from 14 yards out into bottom left corner. In the 33rd minute of action, Tennessee crossed into the middle of the 18-yard box. Kansas midfielder Liana Salazar attempted to clear the ball but her sliding attempt ended up in the back of her own net to grant UT a match-tying own goal. The Big Orange came oh so close to getting the winner in regulation in the 86th minute as Dowd made a great move to beat a KU player in the midfield. She fed up the right wing to Hatcher who crossed a ball to the left post. Brown was making a run to a spot, but just couldn’t quite get there as her sliding tap at the left post just drifted wide. With approximately 1:31 remaining, UT again had a golden opportunity as Brown moved up the right side, got some space and fired a ball that appeared to be going into the net. A Lady Vol sta-tioned at the left post tapped the shot in to make sure of the goal, but was ruled offside as the score was disallowed. After Eckel saved the day by racing off her line with 3:31 left in the initial overtime to thwart a breakaway by KU’s Vidal, Dowd was taken down on the other end of the pitch inside the 18 to earn a penalty call. Brown was summoned to seal the deal and did her job by burying the ball in the left side of the net past Jayhawk keeper Kat Liebetrau to complete the season-opening triumph.

Tennessee (2-0-0) 1 2 3

Oklahoma (1-1-0) 1 0 1 NORMAN, Okla. - The first two-goal game of sophomore midfielder/forward Caroline Brown’s collegiate career helped guide the Tennessee Lady Vol soccer squad (2-0) to a commanding 3-1 victory over Oklahoma (1-1) at the OU Soccer Complex in Norman, Okla. Tennessee out-shot the Sooners by a 12-11 total and registered a 4-2 advantage in corner kicks. In addition to Brown’s impressive scores at 59:45 and 65:38, junior midfielder Kylie Bono added a goal via a penalty kick at the 22:25 mark. Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher and freshman forward Iyana Moore tallied their first assists of the season. Things got a little hairy for the Orange during the ninth minute as a lead pass found Oklahoma’s Zoe Dickson in the clear. Eckel held her ground in a one-on-one situation, however, diving to her right and utilized her legs to make an incredible stop. Tennessee’s initial goal-scoring sequence began with a long free kick taken from 40 yards out on the right wing by freshman defender Alison Clarke. Kylie Bono leapt and flicked a header from the middle of the 18 wide left of goal. Oklahoma keeper Kelsey Devonshire grabbed the ball and made a throw that ended up traveling right to UT senior forward Emily Dowd. She raced in quickly and made a move to beat the net minder as Devonshire tripped Dowd inside the box. The head referee ordered a penalty kick, and Bono stepped up and buried it in the left side of the twine to grant the Big Orange a 1-0 lead at 22:25. The Sooners equalized at 30:35 as a through ball between Lady Vol defenders found Sage Coralli with a step on her marker out even with the right post. She moved in one-on-one against Eckel and fired over the UT freshman’s out-stretched hands from about eight yards to dead-lock the count at 1-1. Tennessee moved back in front on the score-board at 59:45 via one of the toughest shots you’ll ever see succeed in the sport of soccer. Off a Big Orange throw-in, Hatcher lifted a ball that landed at Brown’s feet just inside the right boundary of the 18. From a very sharp angle off the side of frame, the Hershey, Pa., native lifted a shot over the keeper that traveled in at the top left corner and nestled in the netting just inside the left post. The Lady Vols managed an insurance goal at 65:36 to nab a commanding 3-1 advantage over the Sooners. Located about 25 yards out in the middle of the pitch, Moore lifted an ambitious, high-arcing shot towards frame that’s trajectory literally saw the ball come down inches from the crossbar. OU’s keeper Devonshire had no choice but to leap and try to parry it over the bar, but her attempt popped straight up in the air and landed about three yards out near the right post. Brown was waiting right there to tap in her second goal of the match and provide Moore with her first col-legiate assist.

#15/8 UCLA (2-0-0) 0 2 2Tennessee (2-1-0) 0 1 1

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - In front of the fifth-largest crowd in Regal Soccer Stadium history (2,046) on the opening evening of the First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic, the Tennessee Lady Vol soccer squad battled valiantly but saw its upset bid undone by #8 UCLA scores at 80:27 and 84:22 as the Bruins rallied for a 2-1 victory. Big Orange senior forward Chelsea Hatcher granted UT the lead at 62:02 by registering her initial goal of the 2011 campaign off an assist from junior midfielder Kylie Bono. For the match UCLA out-shot the Lady Vols, 21-11, but led Tennessee only 7-4 in both shots on frame and corner kicks. UT freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel made five saves between the pipes, while her counterpart, UCLA’s Katelyn Rowland, stopped three shots. The best early chance for the Lady Vols occurred at 20:21 as a lazer from approximately 22 yards out on the right wing by Caroline Brown ricocheted off the inside of the left post before being cleared. In the opening half’s final seconds it appeared as if the Bruins had gone in front as a cross from the right wing was blasted home near the left post. The sideline official had his flag up, however, to signal that UCLA was offside as the two teams ventured to the break at 0-0. During the 52nd minute Sydney Leroux unleashed another drive from about 16 yards out in the middle that Eckel stopped. The ball escaped from her grasp, however, and rolled over toward the right post as UT’s rookie net-minder quickly raced over and dove to corral the rebound before an approaching Bruin player could fire off a shot. Tennessee’s opening salvo of the second half was a big one as Hatcher took a feed from Bono out on the right side of frame. With UCLA’s keeper apparently expecting a cross, Hatcher absolutely ripped a bending drive right inside the upright from a ridiculously sharp angle to grant the Big Orange a 1-0 advantage. The Bruins finally managed an equalizer at 80:27 as a feed from Ally Courtnall from the middle of the 18 towards the right post was settled by forward Zakiya Bywaters about five yards out. She pivoted quickly and managed to beat Eckel from a sharp angle to dead-lock the count at 1-1. During the 82nd minute Bono had a golden chance to push Tennessee back in front, but saw her drive from out front blocked by a UCLA defender. With regulation time beginning to run short a shot by UCLA midfielder Sam Mewis was deflected by Eckel but the sphere bounced back into play. Leroux found herself in the right spot near the left post to clean up the deflection from six yards out and complete the 2-1, comeback victory.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - An outstanding Lady Vol defensive effort and a first-half penalty kick con-version from sophomore forward Caroline Brown helped the Tennessee soccer squad (3-1-0) to an impressive 1-0 victory over #18 Texas A&M at the Regal Soccer Stadium during final day action of the First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic. The crucial penalty call was drawn by the slick footwork of UT junior Alexis Owens at 34:16. The Carmel, Ind., native managed to get past diving Aggie goalkeeper Jordan Day inside the 18-yard box, forcing the net-minder into a tripping call that left no option but for the head official to point to the penalty spot. For Brown the penalty kick conversion raised her team-leading total to four goals over the first four matches of 2011. In a very physical match that saw each team whistled for 15 fouls with five total yellow cards issued (three for the Aggies), Texas A&M out-shot the Lady Vols by a 15-8 margin and 6-3 in shots on frame, but the Big Orange managed a 4-3 advan-tage on corner kicks. On her way to earning First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic All-Tournament honors alongside her teammates Brown and freshman defender Allie Sirna, rookie goalkeeper Julie Eckel made five stops in securing the third triumph of her brief collegiate career and her first solo shutout. Things got a little hairy for the Lady Vols in the 32nd and 33rd minutes as Kelley Monogue launched back-to-back shots over a 1:06 time frame that ricocheted off the crossbar and right post. After UT escaped the close calls unscathed, it was Owens’ chance to shine at 34:16 as a ball played into the middle of the 18 by freshman forward Iyana Moore landed at the feet of Owens. She pivoted quickly and managed to get around the keeper Jordan Day whose only option was to trip the UT player to save a potential score. The head official pointed at the spot and Brown calmly stepped up to drive home her fourth goal of the season for a vital 1-0 lead. At 57:44 the UT backline again saved the day as a Lady Vol positioned near the goal line man-aged to keep a shot from A&M defender Meghan Streight from going in the net via a vital team save. With the Aggies ramping up the heat in a desperate attempt to draw even, things got a little chippy as the head official ended up displaying five total yellow cards, including two on each team over a stretch from 74:27 to 84:11. As regulation time began to ebb away, Eckel continued her inspired play between the pipes, stopping shots from Merritt Mathias at 80:46 and 82:04. On the latter of the two stops the Cordova, Tenn., native managed to deflect the drive outside the right post, but saw the ball land about a foot over the end line. On the resulting A&M corner, Eckel managed to leap high in the midst of a crowd inside the six-yard box to punch the cross out of danger.

Middle Tennessee (1-3-0) 0 0 0Tennessee (4-1-0) 0 2 2 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - With the Big Orange in need of a late spark in a scoreless contest, Tennessee senior forward Emily Dowd provided just that by tallying goals in both the 82nd and 83rd min-utes, off assists from sophomore forward Caroline Brown, to lead the Lady Vol soccer squad (4-1-0) past Middle Tennessee, 2-0. With the victory, UT equaled its best five-match start in program history done by both the 2002 and 2003 Orange & White squads on the way to eventual NCAA Sweet 16 appearances. Dowd’s scores marked her first two of the campaign, while Brown surpassed her entire 2010 point total (eight) over just five matches in 2011 with four goals and two assists (10 points). Junior midfielder Kylie Bono fired a game-high five shots for the Lady Vols, while junior defender Ali Hall, seeing her first match action of the season, tan-talizingly hit the crossbar with a sliding drive at 54:36. Tennessee out-shot the Blue Raiders, 21-15, including a staggering 12-3 advantage during the second half of the contest, and won the corner kick battle, 12-7. UT freshman keeper Julie Eckel made a career-high eight saves in posting her second consecu-tive solo shutout as the Lady Vol defense hasn’t allowed a goal over the last 185:38 of game action. With regulation time beginning to ebb away, the Big Orange finally struck at 81:24 as a Brown cross from the left wing was perfectly placed to Dowd charging in toward the right post. An easy tap-in from about two yards was all that was required to grant UT a 1-0 lead. It seemed like a near replay just 1:17 later as Brown fed a through ball to Dowd in the clear rac-ing up the right side. She moved in on frame one-on-one versus Cushing and easily deposited her second goal of the night in the lower left corner of the twine. From there UT burnt off the remaining time, refusing to allow Middle Tennessee much posses-sion and zero shots in the offensive end to secure the 2-0 victory.

UNC Greensboro (1-3-0) 0 0 0 GREENSBORO, N.C. - Goals from junior mid-fielder Kylie Bono and junior forward Alexis Owens proved plenty on Sun., Sept 4, at the UNCG Soccer Stadium in Greensboro, N.C., as Tennessee soccer improved to 5-1 overall with a commanding 2-0 victory over the UNC Greensboro Spartans. The Big Orange posted its third consecutive shutout and have kept the opposition scoreless for a streak of 275:38 since the 82nd minute of its match against #15/8 UCLA on Aug. 26. At 5-1 to start the year, the Lady Vols also equaled the 2002 & 2003 UT squads for the best six-match start in program history. Tennessee out-shot the Spartans by a com-manding 16-5 total, including 8-2 in the opening frame and 8-3 over the second stanza. For Bono the first half goal and her assist on Owens’ score marked the second of the campaign for the Yorba Linda, Calif., native in each category. Owens’ goal was her initial tally of 2011 and just the second of her career in the Orange & White. Freshman forward Iyana Moore was credited with the second assist of her brief career on Bono’s goal. Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher, junior mid-fielder Amy Harrison, sophomore forward Caroline Brown and Bono each led the Lady Vol offensive change with three shots each. Freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel posted five saves between the pipes in improving to 5-1-0 overall with three straight solo blankings. With the Big Orange offense controlling the majority of possession, senior forward Emily Dowd made a run into the right side of the 18 during the 29th minute. As the keeper raced off her line in an attempt to thwart a scoring chance, Dowd beat her with a right-to-left move as the GK brought her down inside the box. The head official pointed to the spot, giving Tennessee its fifth penalty kick in six matches and marking the third PK drawn by Dowd in 2011. Unfortunately, the penalty try by Bono was stopped by Kelsey Kearney and cleared away to maintain the 0-0 dead-lock. After literally dominating possession through-out the opening stanza, Tennessee finally got on the scoreboard at 43:20. A quick shot by Moore from out front was blocked by the UNCG defense. The ball caromed right to the feet of Bono who pivoted and fired a drive from approximately 15 yards out in the middle that hit off the inside of the right post before traveling all the way across the mouth of the goal and into the lower left corner to make it 1-0. It seemed just a matter of time before Tennessee found a second goal, and it was deliv-ered at 82:22. Bono played a through ball up the middle of the pitch that located Owens with a step on her marker. She took a quick dribble and beat the keeper to the right side from approximately 14 yards out for her first goal of the season and a 2-0 advantage.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee soccer’s shutout streak improved to four straight matches as the Lady Vols scored early and often in blanking Charlotte, 5-0, in front of 1,445 fans on Fri., Sept. 9, at the Regal Soccer Stadium. The occurrence marked just the second time in program history that UT registered four con-secutive shutouts (Oct. 28 -Nov. 6, 2007), while the opposition’s scoreless streak of 365:38 marked the fifth-longest such skein in Big Orange annals. UT got the team-leading fifth and sixth goals of the season from sophomore forward Caroline Brown, the third goal of the campaign as well as two assists from senior forward Emily Dowd, the first tally of the year by junior midfielder Amy Harrison and the initial goal of freshman midfield-er Lexi Krause’s brief career at Rocky Top during the rout. Junior midfielder Kylie Bono (team-leading third assist of 2011), junior forward Alexis Owens (first assist), sophomore midfielder Sanna Saarinen (first assist) and senior forward Chelsea Hatcher (second assist) were each credited with assists. Lady Vol freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel made three saves while lowering her goals-against-aver-age to 0.57, combining with redshirt sophomore Jessica Rolfs (6:15 of action) on the squad’s fourth straight shutout. Tennessee managed to get a total of 22 players into the contest. Included was the first collegiate action for freshmen Kaelyn Angelo and Tyler Law (six minutes each). UT out-shot the 49ers by a 23-10 total, includ-ing 12-5 in the first half and 11-5 in the second stanza, and won the corner kick category by a commanding 10-2 count.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - With a commanding 4-0 victory over Coastal Carolina on Friday night in front of 1,017 fans at the Regal Soccer Stadium, the Tennessee soccer team made program his-tory. At 7-1 overall the Lady Vols got off to the best start in school annals, while the blanking of the Chanticleers marked UT’s school record fifth-consecutive shutout. The Big Orange have now held the opposi-tion scoreless over a stretch of 455:38, the second longest such skein in school history, just 1:57 from equaling the program’s longest shutout streak of 457:35 that occurred from Sept. 7-21, 2007. Tennessee out-shot Coastal Carolina by a stag-gering 27-4 total, including 14-2 in the first half and 13-2 over the second stanza, and tallied a 12-1 advantage on corner kicks. Sophomore forward Caroline Brown contin-ued her incredible clutch efforts by registering her team-leading seventh goal of the season and NCAA Division I best fifth match-winning score just 4:04 into the contest. Senior forward Emily Dowd registered her second two-goal effort of the campaign by tickling the twine at 18:46 and 54:22 to give the Gainesville, Fla., native five tallies for the year while also adding an assist for five total points. Junior midfielder Kylie Bono picked up her third goal of 2011 at 12:08 off helpers from Brown and Dowd. Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher and junior midfielder Amy Harrison were credited with their third and first assists of the season, respec-tively. Between the pipes, freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel worked the first 81:04 of match time and wasn’t forced to make a single save in participat-ing in her fifth consecutive shutout. Redshirt sophomore RB Wyatt finished off the blanking by working the final 8:56 of the contest in her first action of the season.

The Big Orange out-shot the Gamecocks 24-20 for the match and managed a 7-5 advantage on corner kicks. UT received the team-leading eighth goal of the season from sophomore forward Caroline Brown at 53:16, while senior forward Chelsea Hatcher picked up her squad-high fourth assist of the campaign. Freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel was required to make six saves over her 106:54 of action between the pipes. When S.C. scored 15:32 into the contest, Tennessee saw an end to its shutout streak at 471:10, but that total surpassed the previous pro-gram benchmark of 457:35 that was established from Sept. 7-21, 2007. In all, the Lady Vols strung together their record skein over portions of seven matches, originally starting late in the 2-1 defeat to #8 UCLA on Aug. 26. UT got oh-so-close to scoring first at 14:27 as a pass from the right wing by senior forward Emily Dowd was tapped from the middle to the left post. Sophomore midfielder Sanna Saarinen flicked a header towards goal that proved just inches high, landing on top of the netting for a goal kick. Unfortunately, the Gamecocks took advantage of the near miss by registering the match’s open-ing goal just 1:05 later. A header from the left post into the middle was volleyed home from 12 yards out by midfielder Kortney Rhoades to make it 1-0. Right out of the halftime locker room, Tennessee had a golden chance as Dowd broke in one-on-one against D’Angelo at 47:25. The Gainesville, Fla., native’s initial shot was saved, but the ball got past the keeper and headed towards the net. South Carolina’s Christa Neary raced back quickly and cleared the potential goal away only about two yards out to maintain the advantage. With the Lady Vols applying strong pressure, UT finally struck pay dirt at 53:16. A cross by Hatcher from the right wing to the left post was volleyed home from approximately eight yards out by Brown to dead-lock the score at 1-1. The end came suddenly in the second over-time during the 106th minute of play as a long through ball up the middle from Kayla Grimsley found Rhoades in some space. She managed to beat Eckel from 12 yards out to end the match via “sudden victory.”

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Behind the first career hat trick from junior forward Alexis Owens in her ini-tial start of 2011, the 11th-ranked Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team powered past the sixth-ranked Florida Gators, 4-2, in front of 1,480 fans (including U.S. soccer legend Mia Hamm) at the Regal Soccer Stadium. With the triumph the Lady Vols improved to an impressive 5-0-1 over their last six matches against Florida in Knoxville and haven’t lost to the Gators on the home pitch since Oct. 5, 1999. The four goals also are the most tallies for UT in a league contest since topping Mississippi State, 4-0, back on Oct. 21, 2007. The three-goal performance by Owens marked the first for a Tennessee soccer player since Kayla Lockaby’s hat trick against Murray State way back on Sept. 8, 2002. Owens, a Carmel, Ind., native, had entered today’s match against UF with just two career goals over 43 previous matches. Lady Vol senior forward Emily Dowd chipped in her sixth goal of the season to complete the scoring for UT and assisted on Owens’ initial tally to make it four multiple-point efforts for the Gainesville, Fla., product over UT’s last six contests. Sophomore forward Caroline Brown contributed a pair of assists, improving her team-high point total to 21 on eight goals and five helpers in 2011. For the third time in 2011, Tennessee scored on its initial shot of the match as Dowd delivered a perfect through ball up the right wing to Owens who buried a shot from 10 yards out past Florida keeper Taylor Burke just 4:05 in. Tennessee continued to press the advantage on the Florida end for the majority of the first half. At the 22:37 mark, Dowd granted the Lady Vols a 2-0 lead, taking a through ball from Brown and blasting it to the far side of the net from 12 yards out for her sixth goal of the campaign. With the Gators owning just a single shot to that point in the opening stanza via a header wide from forward McKenzie Barney at 13:01, Owens continued the Big Orange onslaught 13 minutes later. She won a one-on-one battle with a Gator defender, taking the ball into the box and sliding it past Burke to improve the advantage to a stag-gering 3-0 at the 35:48 mark. That marked the first time in the history of the series between the two schools that UT had recorded three scores in a match versus UF. With Florida within 3-2, pressing hard for an equalizer and having shots by Annie Speese and Havana Solaun blocked by UT defenders, it proved to be Tennessee that would finally seal things at 85:11. Brown delivered another perfect feed up the left wing to Owens, who scored from six yards out near the left post to finalize the huge victory.

LSU (8-3-1, 3-0-0 SEC) 1 1 2 BATON ROUGE, La. - Goals by Natalie Ieyoub at 33:36 and Addie Eggleston at 61:10 proved enough for LSU (8-3-1, 3-0-0 Southeastern Conference) in front of 1,284 fans at the LSU Soccer Complex as the Tigers scored during each half in topping the #10 Tennessee Lady Vols (8-3-0, 1-2-0 SEC), 2-0. The Bayou Bengals out-shot the Big Orange by a 14-7 count and 4-2 in shots on frame, while UT registered an 8-1 advantage on corner kicks in the contest. Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher led the Lady Vol offense by taking four total shots, one on goal, while senior forward Emily Dowd was credited with Tennessee’s other drive on net. Freshman keeper Julie Eckel made two saves over 90 min-utes of work in falling to 8-3 on the season. The Big Orange managed its initial shot of the contest at 24:10 as a long try from well out front by Hatcher was blocked by the LSU defense. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native was right back at it just 35 seconds later as her drive on target forced Bayou Bengal keeper Mo Isom into her initial save of the match. It proved a quick shot from the top of the box at 33:36 by LSU substitute Natalie Ieyoub that finally broke the scoreless dead-lock. Off a pair of quick touch passes, Ieyoub received the ball at her feet, moved quickly to her right into the middle of the pitch and blasted a shot from the top of the box. The blast just eluded a leaping Eckel, hit off the underside of the crossbar and bounced on into the net for a 1-0 Tiger lead. Perhaps the most dangerous offensive chance for the Big Orange in the contest came at 60:20 after some solid work against two defenders on the left side of goal by junior forward Alexis Owens. The Carmel, Ind., product delivered a pass towards the middle that found Dowd standing about 12 yards out. She turned quickly and ripped a blast that was barely parried away by the LSU keeper Isom for a corner kick. It proved an unfortunate slip on a quick cut by a member of UT’s backline way up in LSU’s offen-sive zone that eventually resulted in a two-goal Bayou Bengal lead. With Tennessee threatening offensively, the Lady Vol slip resulted in a turn-over and a quick Tiger counter attack. With the advantage of numbers, Allysha Chapman located forward Addie Eggleston racing up the pitch with a small step on her marker. The Bayou Bengal fired in a virtual one-vs.-one situation, beating a charg-ing Eckel from approximately 10 yards out to make it 2-0.

Senior forward Emily Dowd led the UT offense, recording her fifth-career multiple-goal effort by tallying her seventh and eighth goals of 2011 and dishing an assist for five total points. Sophomore forward Caroline Brown registered her team-leading ninth goal of the campaign at 69:22 to finalize the Big Orange scoring. UT also got a Razorback own goal at 53:54 as UA defender Courtney Williams chipped a cross into her own net on a clearing attempt. The Lady Vols out-shot the Razorbacks by an 18-17 count, including 12-9 in shots on frame, while each squad posted seven corner kicks in the match. Freshman net minder Julie Eckel made a career high nine saves in recording her fourth career solo and first SEC shutout. Tennessee’s offense wasted no time getting on the board in the match as sophomore midfielder Sanna Saarinen located Brown on the right side near the end line. The Hershey, Pa., native deliv-ered a pass into the middle that Dowd finished from approx. seven yards out for a quick 1-0 lead at 6:44. The occurrence marked the fourth time this season that the Lady Vols had scored on their initial shot of the contest. Before the UT fans in attendance had even stopped celebrating the first UT score, Dowd delivered again just 1:05 later. The Gainesville, Fla., product broke a tackle and made a quick left-to-right move to beat Arkansas keeper Emily Lillard before an easy finish from six yards out for a 2-0 advantage. The Big Orange got a little assistance at 53:54 to move in front 3-0 as senior forward Chelsea Hatcher crossed a ball into the middle of the six-yard box. Back defending on the play, Arkansas’ Courtney Williams ended up in front of her keep-er and kicked the ball into her own net while attempting to chip the ball up and over the cross bar. With 23:15 left Dowd came oh so close to totaling the hat trick, receiving a long ball up the middle from Hatcher, moving to her right and fir-ing just wide left of the post. A perfect through ball from the middle of the pitch up the right wing resulted in UT’s fourth tally of the match at 69:17. Dowd delivered the feed between Arkansas defenders right to Brown who quickly deposited the shot to the left of Lillard for a 4-0 Tennessee advantage.

The Cincinnati, Ohio, native took a school single-match record 14 shots during the contest, while putting a stagger-ing eight of those on frame. The Big Orange began its rally behind the sec-ond score of the year from junior midfielder Amy Harrison at 58:27. The Lady Vols completed their comeback to force extra-time behind the ninth tally of the campaign from senior forward Emily Dowd at 60:24 and the team-leading 10th goal of 2011 from sophomore forward Caroline Brown at 79:53. Seeing her first SEC action this season after dealing with an injury, senior midfielder Emily Shore recorded her initial assist. Brown was cred-ited with her squad-high seventh helper of the campaign via Dowd’s 61st minute score, and junior midfielder Kylie Bono delivered her fourth assist on Hatcher’s match-winner. For the match Tennessee out-shot the Rebels by a staggering 30-8 count, including 14-2 in the second stanza and had a 13-4 edge on corner kicks. UT also forced Ole Miss into 10 saves in the contest, nine of those coming courtesy of fresh-man net minder Kelly McCormick. Ole Miss midfielder Dylan Jordan, a native of Palmyra, Tenn., put up a natural hat trick against the Lady Vols over the match’s first 31:20 before Tennessee began its stirring rally.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The team-high-tying 10th goal of the season from senior forward Emily Dowd and the third score of the year by senior forward Chelsea Hatcher proved plenty as the #15 Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team turned in a workmanlike effort on Sunday afternoon in front of 1,378 fans at the Regal Soccer Stadium by dis-patching Mississippi State, 2-0. Dowd registered her third match-winner of the season and, in the process, also tallied the 20th goal of her career by scoring at 15:05 off the fifth assist of 2011 from junior midfielder Kylie Bono. Hatcher slammed home her third goal of the cam-paign at 48:52, while Dowd was credited with her sixth helper on the score. By registering her 10th goal, Dowd joined fel-low Lady Vol Caroline Brown (10 goals) as the first Tennessee soccer duo to each cross the double-digit scoring plateau during the same season since Allison Campbell (17 goals) and Laura Lauter (12 goals) completed the feat way back in 1998. UT rookie goalkeeper Julie Eckel also equaled former Lady Vol Ellen Dean’s (1998-2000, 2002) freshman victory record at Rocky Top by record-ing her 11th win between the pipes. The Cordova, Tenn., native made five saves in picking up her fifth solo shutout of the year and her second in league action. Overall, Tennessee out-shot the Bulldogs, 18-10, including 10-5 in shots on goals and man-aged an 8-0 advantage on corner kicks.

The Wildcats out-shot the Big Orange by a 21-11 count, including 7-3 on shots on goal, and led 7-4 on corner kicks in the match. UT freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel was cred-ited with five saves in the contest while suf-fering the difficult defeat between the pipes. Sophomore forward Caroline Brown led the Lady Vol offense with five shots and two on frame, while junior midfielder Kylie Bono tallied three shots (one on goal). Off a quick UT counter-attack with approxi-mately five minutes remaining in the second OT, senior forward Emily Dowd had a great chance in some space, but her shot was blocked. Right back the other way, some contact inside the right side of the 18 went against UT as a Lady Vol fell down and Natalie Horner ended up with room on the right wing. She fired in what amounted to a one-on-one situation against Eckel and managed to score into the upper quadrant of the net to conclude the overtime battle.

Bailey began the decisive play about 40 yards out towards midfield, dribbling to the middle of the pitch, beating a pair of Commodore defenders and uncorking a left-footed shot from just outside the top of the 18-yard box that traveled into the upper left corner of the net. Big Orange freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel made seven saves in improving to 12-4 overall, breaking former Lady Vol Ellen Dean’s Tennessee single-season rookie GK victory (11) and shutout (5.3) records set way back in 1998.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - On a beautiful Sunday after-noon in front of 1,389 fans at the Regal Soccer Stadium, the #19 Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team (13-5-0, 6-4-0 Southeastern Conference) celebrat-ed its “Senior Day” festivities in true style by riding goals from junior midfielder Amy Harrison and senior honoree Chelsea Hatcher to a commanding 2-0 victory over #22 Auburn (11-5-2, 5-4-1 SEC). With the triumph, the Big Orange secured its 14th consecutive berth in the annual SEC Tournament to be held over Nov. 2-6 in Orange Beach, Ala. Harrison got the Big Orange attack going by blasting home her third goal of the campaign just 2:33 into the contest. The occurrence marked the fifth time in 2011 that the Big Orange scored on its very first shot of a match. For Hatcher the goal marked her fourth of the year and provided valu-able insurance at the 54:55 mark. Fellow “Senior Day” honoree Emily Dowd was credited with her seventh assist and sophomore Caroline Brown picked up her team-best eighth helper of the sea-son on Harrison’s eventual match-winning tally. UT freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel recorded her 13th career victory and seventh career solo shutout by registering five saves in posting the clean sheet. Tennessee out-shot the Tigers by a 17-13 total, including 6-5 on shots on goal, and posted a 10-4 advantage on corner kicks. The Big Orange wasted zero time securing the momentum against Auburn, scoring on its very first shot of the contest at the 2:33 mark. Dowd battled her marker near the left end line before crossing the ball towards the middle. Brown managed a quick flick out to Harrison on the right wing. The Winnipeg, Alberta, Canada, native settled the ball and blasted home the goal from approximately 12 yards for a quick 1-0 advantage. It proved to be the senior Hatcher that granted the Big Orange some insurance at 54:55. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native gathered a ball, dribbled just inside the left edge of the 18 and unleashed a blast that beat Howard for a 2-0 lead. The contest didn’t get overly concerning dur-ing the second half for the Lady Vols until the 83rd minute. That’s when Katy Frierson uncorked a shot that hit off the right post/crossbar connection while a rebound bounced back into the middle. A follow-up drive by midfielder Ana Cate traveled wide right as UT dodged a potential bullet. With just three minutes left on the clock Eckel came up big once again, deflecting a Frierson shot just up and over the bar. One final shot off an AU corner by Cate traveled high as Tennessee secured its clean sheet.

Georgia (12-5-2, 6-3-2 SEC) 0 0 0 ATHENS, Ga. - On Saturday afternoon, in the resumption of Friday night’s delayed regular-season finale, the #20 Tennessee Lady Vol soc-cer team (14-5-0, 7-4-0 Southeastern Conference) fought off any potential distraction, getting goals from sophomore forward Caroline Brown and senior forward Emily Dowd to roll past Georgia (12-5-2, 6-3-2 SEC), 2-0. With its victory, Tennessee secured the third-seed for the SEC Tournament in Orange Beach, Ala., and will open its stay in the league’s show-case event on Wed., Nov. 2, in a 3:30 p.m. ET con-test against Kentucky. Brown and Dowd each recorded their team-leading 11th goals of the campaign as the Big Orange continues to be the only squad in the conference with two players that each possess 10+ goals and 25+ points. On Dowd’s 64th min-ute goal, junior midfielder Kylie Bono and senior forward Chelsea Hatcher were credited with their sixth and fifth assists of the year, respectively. By equaling her single-match career high with nine saves, freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel picked up her eighth solo shutout while helping the UT defense to its 10th overall blanking of 2011. During the contest the Lady Vols out-shot the Bulldogs by a 14-12 total, even though UGA managed a 9-6 advantage in shots on frame. The Big Orange recorded a commanding 7-2 lead on corner kicks and continues to top the league in that category. At the 20:26 mark of the opening frame on Friday night, two faulty banks of lights on the Lady Vol defensive end at the UGA Soccer Stadium forced a 45-minute delay as the two coaching staffs discussed the situation with the officials before deciding to postpone the contest until Saturday. Some 16 hours later on Saturday, the scoreless dead-lock was finally broken by Tennessee off a bad clearance by the Bulldogs in the 50th minute. The Big Orange crossed the ball from the right wing to the left side of the 18 that ended up in UGA’s possession. A clearance miscue resulted in a pass right to Brown as the UT forward pivoted quickly and fired from 12 yards, beating Ashley Baker for a 1-0 advantage. The Big Orange lead grew to 2-0 at 63:04 with some impressive work off a corner kick. Hatcher delivered the cross from the right wing into a crowd inside the middle of the 18. Bono managed a header that popped up before landing at the feet of Dowd in some space on the left side. She turned quickly and blasted home her 11th score of the campaign from eight yards out.

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. - Behind a dominant sec-ond half performance on Wed., Nov. 2, at the Orange Beach Soccer Complex in Orange Beach, Ala., the #23 Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team (15-5) topped sixth-seeded Kentucky (13-7), 2-1, to advance on to Friday’s semifinal round against Auburn (6 p.m. ET). Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher registered the match-winner at the 76:07 mark off a free kick from the right wing, marking the Cincinnati, Ohio, native’s fifth score of the campaign. Senior forward Emily Dowd was credited with her team-leading 12th goal to dead-lock the count, 1-1, at 12:09. Junior midfielder Kylie Bono picked up her seventh assist of 2011 with a tap on the ball prior to Hatcher’s winning drive on frame. UT rookie net minder Julie Eckel made four saves between the pipes in helping the Big Orange to its 15th triumph. For the match Tennessee out-shot the Wildcats by a 16-13 count and by a commanding 10-2 over the final 45 minutes of play. Kentucky’s offense had the best of the early going with the top chance over the opening five minutes coming off a long free kick from about 40 yards out on the right wing. The cross traveled to the left post where UK’s marked forward Arin Gilliland managed a sliding try at 4:48 that drifted just wide of frame. The Wildcats managed to break in front at the 10:41 mark. In some space Kentucky forward Kelsey Hunyadi fired a drive from just outside the 18-yard box on the right wing that beat a diving Eckel inside the left post for a 1-0 lead. The Blue & White’s advantage lasted all of 1:28 as Dowd re-paid the favor from 18 yards out on the other end. After dribbling briefly up the middle of the pitch, the Gainesville, Fla., native unleashed a low roller that beat Kayla Price at 12:09, nestling into the lower left corner to dead-lock the count at 1-1. After a couple of solid attempts by Lady Vol freshman Lexi Krause, including one that forced a stop by Price, Tennessee finally grabbed its first lead of the match at 76:07 off a free kick. Bono touched the ball briefly on a leap over move before Hatcher drove a shot through the UK wall and into the twine for a 2-1 advantage. Down the stretch the Big Orange kept Kentucky from posting any real scoring opportuni-ties. In fact, the only chances UK had occurred on a corner kick at 83:05, that resulted in zero shots, and an ambitious drive from 24 yards out on the right wing from forward Caitlin Landis with eight seconds left that traveled well high of frame.

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. - Despite a dominant sec-ond half by #23 Tennessee (15-6) on Fri., Nov. 4, in Orange Beach, Ala., that saw UT out-shoot Auburn (13-6-2) by a commanding 12-2 count while total-ing a 9-5 advantage on corners, the Tigers man-aged a goal late in each stanza to eliminate the Lady Vols from the SEC Tournament, 2-0. The Big Orange now wait to learn its postsea-son path during the NCAA Selection Show to be broadcast on NCAA.com on Mon., Nov. 7, at 4:30 p.m. Tennessee out-shot the Tigers by a 21-11 count, including 4-3 on shots on frame, while each team managed 11 corner kicks. UT junior midfielder Amy Harrison (team-high two shots on frame), sophomore forward Caroline Brown, senior forward Chelsea Hatcher and junior midfielder Kylie Bono each led UT’s offense with four shots each. Freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel was forced to make one save during the contest. In the 33rd minute a long AU pass ahead ended up in the possession of substitute Tori Ball. She moved in against Eckel in a one-vs.-one situ-ation and managed to place a shot in the lower right corner at 32:07 to give Auburn a 1-0 lead. After Hatcher had a drive blocked from the right side at 69:53, UT had a terrific opportunity thwarted by the Tiger defense during the 72nd minute. Brown began the threat by firing off a shot that was deflected at 71:05. On a follow-up effort freshman Lexi Krause drilled a drive from outside the left edge of the 18 that was blocked. The rebound ended up in Brown’s possession moving in towards the left post, but her nine-yard effort hit the outside netting. With Tennessee pressing hard for an equalizer, it proved to be Auburn that registered an insur-ance score at 85:16. Consecutive headers from Ball to midfielder Ana Cate ended up at the feet of defender Julie King just eight yards out in the middle of the 18, and she promptly finished the play to make it 2-0, AU. Over the final minute, the Lady Vols managed a pair of corner kicks, getting a header from junior defender Ali Hall at 89:42 that forced Howard into action to make a save. One final attempt from Harrison was again blocked out front as the Tigers finished off the match to advance on to Sunday’s SEC Tournament Final.

Lady Vols can't escape AuburnUT takes its best shot, but not enough, 2-0

By Chuck Corder, [email protected] Chuck Corder is a freelance contributor.

Saturday, November 5, 2011

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. — The scene on a vacant field painted a clear picture.

Slumped shoulders and dipped heads lined the Tennessee women's soccer team in the post-match cool down.

Try as they might, the third-seeded Lady Vols couldn't shake free from a painful 2-0 defeat to seventh-seeded Auburn at the SEC tournament on Friday.

The Tigers (13-6-2) continued their improbable run thanks to goals in each half to bounce Tennessee (15-6) in the semifinals at the Orange Beach Sportsplex.

Auburn advances to its first conference title match since 2005 when it lost to the Lady Vols 1-0.

The Tigers will face Florida at 3:30 p.m. Sunday on ESPNU.

Tennessee held a 12-2 shots margin in the second half, but never found the back of the net. Its last four losses have all been shutouts.

"I don't know how many shots were deflected and cleared off line," Lady Vols coach Angela Kelly said. "Unfortunately, that's our game. It can be vicious at times.

"I believe it would've taken just one. I think things would've started to open up."

Instead, the Lady Vols await their postseason destiny. Tennessee's fate in next week's NCAA tournament is not in doubt, just its destination.

Pairings will be announced on ncaa.com at 4:30 p.m. Monday.

"Sixteen of our 27 (players) are underclassmen," Kelly said, "so I'm very proud with how we've developed. The positive is we've got two extra days to rest and get emotionally, psychologically and physically prepared for next Friday."

Auburn's Tori Ball and Julie King provided the scores on this Friday night.

After dictating the match's tempo early on, things began unraveling for the Lady Vols against the Tigers' counterattack.

Auburn executed its brand to perfection within a 45-second sequence in the match's 32nd minute.

Tennessee sophomore striker Caroline Brown had a golden opportunity to break the scoreless tie. When she reared her right foot back, Tigers goalkeeper Amy Howard saw an opening to gamble.

Howard left the goal and smothered the ball before Brown managed to unfurl her attempt.

"We were making mistakes off our turns right into where all (Auburn's) numbers were," Kelly said. "They were hoping to pick it up underneath and counter. You have to miss that first defender and find the composure to deliver. The ball speed has to be greater there."

Howard's risk paid immediate dividends as Auburn's offense had the Lady Vols outmanned on their side of the pitch.

King delivered a firm touch to Ball, who slid her third goal of the season past Ali Hall's lunging left foot and Tennessee goalkeeper Julie Eckel.

Eckel rolled the dice late in the second half, but unlike Howard, her move backfired.

With the ball bouncing off various heads, Eckel charged out in the 85th minute. She failed to get her mitts on the ball, though, and King powered it into an empty net.

"It's a transitional game with a lot of ebbs and flows," Kelly said. "You have to be able to ride the other team's waves.

"I'm the eternal optimist. We'll learn from this."

Youth served on path to SEC soccer semifinals for Lady Vols By Chuck Corder [email protected]

Thursday, November 3, 2011

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. — If yellow and red make orange, and yellow and blue make green, then what does orange and green give you?

It's the current hue that shades the Tennessee women's soccer team that belies its inexperience.

With eight true freshmen playing integral roles, the Lady Vols' youth has served them well this fall.

No. 3 seed Tennessee (15-5) hopes its freshman will be fabulous against No. 7 seed Auburn (12-6-2) in the SEC tournament semifinals at 6 p.m. today at the Orange Beach Sportsplex. No. 4 Florida (15-6) plays No. 8 Alabama (10-7-3) in the other semifinal.

"It has been so exciting to come in and have the entire team welcome our class because there are a lot of us," said goalkeeper Julie Eckel, one of 11 freshmen in all. "This team is a great group of girls. It's a privilege to be a part of it."

Eckel has been a huge part of Tennessee's success this season.

A member of the SEC All-Freshman Team, the Cordova native has missed barely 15 minutes of a possible 1,800 in goal.

There have been other key first-year players, too. Defender Allie Sirna has started all 20 games and owns the team lead in minutes played.

Midfielder Lexi Krause has played in 17 games and boasts the lone freshmen goal. And forward Iyana Moore has assisted on two goals.

Six more have played in at least two games. Eckel credits the returning players for putting their egos aside and providing guidance for the younger ones.

"The veterans have been so generous with their time," she said. "It's nice to know freshmen can come in and play and the older players not worry about losing playing time."

It's the type of togetherness championship teams are made of.

11/7/2011http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/nov/03/youth-served-on-path-to-semifinals-for-lad...

Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher drew a close similarity between this year's group and her freshman campaign in 2008, the last time Tennessee won this tournament.

"It was one of the most united teams I've ever played on," Hatcher said. "The way we played as a team, no one could shut us down. We've had that kind of chemistry all season on this team. And, now, we all know the postseason is what we play for."

It's a resounding chorus for all four teams left here.

That's why no Lady Vol will be taking Auburn lightly tonight despite blanking the Tigers 2-0 last month at Regal Soccer Stadium in Knoxville.

"In the tournament," Tennessee coach Angela Kelly said, "you might have a common opponent you've played before, but you always expect a different team. This is Cup time. Win and advance.

"This conference has had teams nationally ranked all season. It's a privilege to make the tournament. Anytime you have an opportunity to be successful, you must respect your opponent. Otherwise, why compete?"

Kelly's bunch topped Kentucky 2-1 while Auburn upset LSU 3-0 in quarterfinal action Wednesday.

"We knew 10 days ago (at the first meeting), Auburn was a great team," Kelly said. "They've got a wonderful midfield. We need to be organized and be able to battle to have a chance to win."

Hatcher puts best foot forward for Lady Vols, 2-1Chuck Corder [email protected] Charles Corder is a freelance contributor.

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. — The hairs on the back of Chelsea Hatcher's neck still perk up when she waxes poetic about her freshman season.

It was a magical ride Hatcher and her Tennessee women's soccer team enjoyed en route to the program's fourth SEC tournament championship in 2008.

Those same feelings began washing over Hatcher on Wednesday when the senior forward's late goal lifted the third-seeded Lady Vols past sixth-seeded Kentucky 2-1 at the Orange Beach Sportsplex.

Coincidentally, it marked the team's first tournament win since that 2008 run.

"The seniors, we want to go out the way we came in," said Hatcher, whose fifth goal of the season broke a 1-all tie in the 76th minute. "Obviously, it's one game at a time, but we want to stay in Orange Beach until the end. This win was hugely important in taking that step."

Tennessee (15-5) puts another foot forward against Auburn (12-6-2) in the semifinals at 6 p.m. Friday.

The No. 7 Tigers shocked No. 2 LSU 3-0 earlier Wednesday.

The Lady Vols easily handled Auburn 2-0 on Oct. 23, but UT coach Angela Kelly is expecting a hungrier group of Tigers this time.

"It's hard to beat a team twice in a year, much less 10 days," the 12-year coaching veteran said. "But in a Cup-like, sudden-death environment, you throw out all the statistics. There's a ton of parity at this tournament."

That was clear for the first 75 minutes against Kentucky.

The Lady Wildcats (13-7) scored the game's opening goal in the 10th minute before Lady Vols leading scorer Emily Dowd provided the equalizer with her 12th goal of the season less than two minutes later.

Both teams missed golden opportunities in the second half before Hatcher executed perfectly off a free kick with less than 25 minutes left.

11/7/2011http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/nov/02/hatcher-puts-best-foot-forward-for-lady-vol...

"(Kelly) tells me to focus on hitting the face," Hatcher said. "That way if it doesn't go in, somebody can be there to rebound and follow it up."

No need this time. The shot screamed past a diving Kayla Price and into the back of the net.

From there, Tennessee relied on its smothering defense to stifle a Kentucky offense that led the conference in shots during the regular season.

Lady Vols freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel made four saves) and got great support from sweepers Tori Bailey and Ali Hall.

"I feel so comfortable playing behind this back line," Eckel said. "Other teams don't get many opportunities because our defense is so solid. They're always in the right position."

Eckel dodged several close calls, including a frantic sequence late in the first half.

A header from Kentucky's Molly Huber ricocheted off the face off the cross bar and Eckel went rushing out to smother the carom. Huber, though, beat her to the ball and got a left foot on it.

"I was caught off my line," Eckel admitted. "Luckily, it hit the post."

The shot grazed the outside of the left post and the threat was squelched.

"To Kentucky's credit, they disrupted our rhythm in the first half," Kelly said. "We regrouped and made sure we were the ones dictating and playing more of our style."

Lady Vols open SEC soccer tournament with momentumBy Mike Strange

Tuesday, November 1, 2011

For the past two years Tennessee's soccer season has ended at the SEC tournament. That's not how you draw it up in August.

The 20th-ranked Lady Vols take on Kentucky on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. in Orange Beach, Ala., with the idea of extending the season.

"We're certainly wanting our seniors to get another home game,'' coach Angela Kelly said Monday. "And the only way to do that is to continue to play together and be successful.''

The only way to get another home game is to host an NCAA tournament first-round match. Toward that end, Tennessee wants to state its case this week in the tournament featuring the top eight SEC teams.

The Lady Vols (14-5, 7-4 SEC) earned the No. 3 seed. But one of their losses was to sixth-seed Kentucky (13-6, 6-5) on Oct. 14 in Lexington.

The Wildcats prevailed 1-0 in two overtimes.

Kelly, however, likes the way her team is coming into the tournament, pointing to matching 2-0 wins over Auburn and Georgia last week.

"They're just getting better and better,'' she said. "This team is finding another level within itself.''

UT has won the SEC tournament four times, most recently in 2008. In the two years since, however, they've lost first-round matches on a golden goal (2009) and penalty kicks (2010). No NCAA tournament invitation followed either year.

The Lady Vols are prepared for more tight finishes this week.

"The amount of parity in the SEC this year has been tremendous,'' Kelly said. "Everybody in the top eight seeds has beaten one another.

"I don't think anybody would say they have a favorable draw.''

11/7/2011http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/nov/01/lady-vols-open-sec-soccer-tournament-with...

Kentucky leads the SEC in shots attempted, but ranks only eighth in goals with 33. UT is tied for third with 40 goals.

The Lady Vols' defense is even more impressive. Tennessee is tied for first in goals allowed (15) and leads in shutouts (10).

Freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel leads the conference in saves percentage (. 862) and is second in goals-allowed-per-game (0.78).

Eckel, who was SEC Freshman of the Week, topped that Monday when shed was named to the SEC All-Freshman team.

"She's acting very mature,'' Kelly said. "She's doing everything a goalkeeper needs to do at the highest level.''

Eckel is getting ample support from defenders Allie Sirna, Tori Bailey, Caroline Capocaccia and Ali Hall.

"Allie Sirna goes unnoticed,'' Kelly said, "but she cleans up everything for us.

"Tori is one of the best one-on-one defenders in the country. No one can get around her.''

UT's scoring leaders with 11 goals each are Caroline Brown and Emily Dowd. Both were named second-team All-SEC.

There are four games today. If Tennessee wins, next up would be the LSU-Auburn winner on Friday at 5 p.m. The championship is Sunday (TV: ESPNU, 2:30 p.m.).

"This is championship soccer,'' Kelly said. "There is a sense of urgency that's different from any game in the regular season.''

Notebook: South Carolina is the top seed, followed in order by LSU, UT, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Auburn and Alabama. ... NCAA tournament first-round games are Nov. 11-13.

Lady Vols turn out lights on GeorgiaBy News Sentinel staff

Originally published 01:00 a.m., October 29, 2011Updated 08:42 p.m., October 29, 2011

With no need for lights Saturday afternoon, the Tennessee soccer team clinched the third seed for next week's SEC tournament with a 2-0 victory against Georgia in Athens.

The teams played 20 minutes, 26 seconds on Friday night before the game was postponed to Saturday due to technical difficulties with the lights.

Sophomore Caroline Brown and senior forward Emily Dowd each scored goals for the 20th-ranked Lady Vols (14-5-0, 7-4-0 SEC), giving them each team-leading 11th goals for the season.

Brown scored off a bad clearance by Georgia (12-5-2, 6-3-2) in the 50th minute, stealing the ball, pivoting and firing from 12 yards out. Dowd scored in the 64th minute with an assists from junior Kylie Bono and senior Chelsea Hatcher.

"I'm just really pleased with where our team is right now and with how they are playing," coach Angela Kelly said. "I think we're playing very attractive soccer right now."

Freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel, who matched her single-match high with nine saves, picked up her eighth solo shutout.

UT will play Kentucky 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at the SEC tournament in Orange Beach, Ala.

Men's Golf: UT's Danny Keddie fired a 68 and finished third with a 4-under 209 at the Cabo Collegiate in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. The Vols finished fifth in the team standings at 869. Arkansas won the team title, and the Razorbacks' Sebastian Cappelen won the individual championship.

Volleyball: No. 20 Tennessee (19-3, 12-1 SEC), which is fresh off an emotional four-set victory over No. 13 Florida at Thompson-Boling Arena, is back to face South Carolina at 1:30 today.

Senior moments, but Lady Vols not done in soccer, 2-0 By Clay Seal [email protected] Clay Seal is a freelance contributor.

Sunday, October 23, 2011

Tennessee soccer coach Angela Kelly usually gives her seniors copies of the Dr. Seuss book "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" on Senior Day.

Instead she gave them flowers and a message during the pre-game ceremony: This isn't over.

The No. 24 Lady Vols got the memo, using goals from senior Chelsea Hatcher and junior Amy Harrison to beat No. 22 Auburn 2-0 Sunday at Regal Soccer Stadium.

"I had the books today, and when I was going to write in the covers yesterday, I just wasn't compelled," said Kelly. "This isn't over. There's still so much soccer to be played. I'd be selling all of this senior class short if had given them something and brought a culmination to this."

Tennessee (13-5, 6-4 SEC) finishes the regular season at Georgia Friday, and Sunday's win clinched the Lady Vols a spot in the eight-team SEC tournament in Orange Beach, Ala., starting Nov. 2. UT's first NCAA tournament appearance since 2008 will likely follow.

"(Kelly) told us to acknowledge it, recognize the moment for what it is, but not to get bogged down in the emotion because we have so much of our season to play for," said Hatcher, who scored her fourth goal of the season on an 18-yard bullet in the 55th minute. "We're really hoping to host the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament, so hopefully we'll get to play on our field again," she said.

The seniors couldn't completely escape the emotions, though. The team decorated the senior's lockers, and gave them gifts and notes.

"There were definitely a few tears shed this morning," said Hatcher. "I don't think any of us expected it to be how it was."

After losing two of their last three matches, the Lady Vols wasted little time to gain the advantage against Auburn (11-5-2, 5-4-1). Harrison put UT up 1-0 in just the third minute after Caroline Brown flicked senior Emily Dowd's cross to near the top of the box to set up the shot.

10/24/2011http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/oct/23/senior-moments-but-lady-vols-not-done-in...

The Lady Vols outshot the Tigers 17-13, and had a 10-4 advantage on corner kicks as they offensively and defensively imposed their will.

"We organized, they executed the game plan," said Kelly. "They were disciplined, composed and it makes me happy for them because they see the things they can actually do and the feeling they can have when they're in control of a match."

The game also served for the Goal Pink campaign to support breast cancer research.

Tennessee received one yellow card, and Auburn received three, two to Ana Cate, which equaled a red card in the 89th minute.

Emily Dowd, Emily Shore share more than just the same first name By Mike Griffith

Saturday, October 22, 2011

Emily Dowd and Emily Shore have taken to the soccer field together on hundreds of occasions in their lifetimes, but today will be different.

Dowd and Shore are two of the six Tennessee seniors who will be playing their final home game when the No. 19 Lady Vols (12-5, 5-4 SEC) play host to Auburn (11-4-2, 5-3-1) at Regal Soccer Stadium today (TV: FSTN, 1 p.m.). The other seniors are Chelsea Kephart, Chelsea Hatcher, Hannah Hut and Lara Langworthy.

With a regular-season finale Friday at Georgia and the SEC tournament (Nov. 2-6, Orange Beach, Ala.) ahead, neither of the Lady Vols' Emilys are ready for much reflection.

But UT coach Angela Kelly said her recognition of the two players will go beyond their significant accomplishments on the field.

"Those two young ladies have grown so much,'' Kelly said. "It was an exciting day when those two young ladies decided to come to Tennessee.''

No doubt, it was another case of Kelly going into rival territory to land promising prospects.

The two friends from Gainesville, Fla., — Dowd was a prolific goal scorer at Oak Hill High School and Shore did likewise for Gainseville High — had talked openly with one another about their recruitments, and also visited Florida State together.

"Tennessee and Florida had emerged as our two main schools,'' said Shore, a midfielder and the primary free-kick and corner-kick specialist for the Lady Vols. "I think playing at Florida was something we'd wanted to do, because we had grown

up surrounded by it.

"I know I was kind of narrow-minded until I went to see other places. I wasn't interested in Tennessee until I came up here on a visit.''

Dowd, a forward who is tied for the team lead in scoring with 10 goals and six assists, said she and Shore weren't necessarily a package deal.

10/22/2011http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/oct/22/emily-dowd-emily-shore-share-more-than-...

"We talked about it, but we made our own separate decisions,'' said Dowd, who finished her high school career as Alachua County's all-time scoring leader with 163 goals in four seasons. "I've known (Shore) since we were 10 years old, playing on the same club team.

"We're really more like sisters than friends, because we have known each other for so long.''

The girls' friendship transcended to their parents also being close long ago.

"We had so many soccer club weekends and hotels over the last 10 years,'' said Shore, who estimates the pair played 20 weekends per year on average throughout their competitive soccer careers. "My dad (Fred Shore) got his pilot's license about a year-and-a-half ago, so he leases a Cessna and flies up to the games with Mr. (Don) Dowd.''

Kelly said both of the girls' parents remain firm Florida Gators supporters, "just not in women's soccer.''

Shore and Dowd lived in close quarters as suitemates their freshman years at UT, which helped ease the transition of being nine hours away at school.

"It was rough when we first got here,'' Dowd said. "There was a lot of new things to get used to, so it helped having (Shore) around.''

Shore agreed.

"Yeah, coming to a new team, living in a new state, it was great just to have (Dowd) to talk to,'' she said. "It helped with some of the homesickness.''

Hatcher's decision to sign with UT also helped, as she, too, was a member of the same elite club team (IMG Soccer Academy, Bradenton, Fla.) that Dowd and Shore was on.

"Those young ladies all think for themselves,'' Kelly said. "But for the rest of their lives, they shared a very unique bond.''

Alabama scores early to top Lady Vols, 1-0 By News Sentinel staff

Thursday, October 20, 2011

Pia Rijsdijk's goal in the 14th minute was all Alabama needed in a 1-0 victory over No. 19 Tennessee in a women's soccer game Thursday night at the UA Soccer Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

The Crimson Tide (8-7-2, 3-5-1 SEC)out-shot the Lady Vols(12-5, 5-4) by a 20-18 count, including 10-6 in shots on goal. The Lady Vols had 10 corner kicks compared to 7 for Alabama.

"The effort has to be better," Lady Vols coach Angela Kelly said. "That is the summation of tonight's match, and our situation going forward."

Tennessee freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel was forced to make nine saves.

And Eckel didn't get much help on Alabama's goal after the Lady Vols failed to clear the ball. Off a ricochet, the ball bounced out in the middle to Rijsdijk who drilled a one-touch shot from 18 yards away and just inside the right post for a 1-0 lead.

The Lady Vols close out the regular season with a home match against Auburn on Sunday (TV: WTNZ, 1 p.m.)

Softball: Tennessee's final home fall doubleheader, originally scheduled for Saturday has been canceled.

UT said there is a remote possibility that the final games could be re-scheduled at a later date.

"We have one chance to recruit a high-profile tournament out in California this weekend and recruiting is the lifeblood of any program," Lady Vols co-head coach Ralph Weekly said. "We attempted to re-schedule the doubleheader for Thursday, but the other teams couldn't make the trip. We've gotten in some solid work this fall despite having a limited line-up."

Madison Shipman and Kat Dotson are recovering from off-season surgery and Lauren Gibson is playing for the U.S. at the Pan American Games.

Tori Bailey's goal lifts Lady Vols past Vandy, 1-0 By News Sentinel staff


Tori Bailey's first goal of the season lifted 14th-ranked Tennessee to a 1-0 soccer victory at Vanderbilt on Sunday.

The sophomore defender broke a scoreless deadlock in the 84th minute to elevate the Lady Vols (12-4, 5-3 SEC) to victory and prevent a two-game losing streak.

Coming off a 1-0 loss at Kentucky on Friday night, Tennessee struggled to score Sunday until Bailey gained possession around midfield, dribbled through a couple of defenders and launched a left-footed shot from just outside the top of the 18-yard box.

It found the upper-left corner of the net.

"It was a heck of a battle," Lady Vol coach Angela Kelly said. "Credit to (coach) Derek Greene for the things he and his staff are doing at Vanderbilt. They've had a couple of injuries as of late and are very well organized. They posed problems for us in the attack as well as in the midfield.

"Tori Bailey, you say her name and it brings a smile to my face. She does all the dirty work and helps save us in the back. She's just phenomenal. I don't think I mention her enough."

UT outshot Vanderbilt (8-8, 2-6) by 16-13. Goalkeeper Julie Eckel recorded seven saves.

The Lady Vols play at Alabama on Thursday night.

Lady Vols fall in 2nd OTBy News Sentinel staff

Friday, October 14, 2011

Natalie Horner scored in the 106th minute to give Kentucky a 1-0 victory over No. 14 Tennessee in double overtime on Friday in a women's soccer game at Lexington, Ky.

"Kentucky played well tonight, and we didn't," Lady Vols coach Angela Kelly said. "It's as simple as that. We did not execute well in any facet of the game, but we still created enough opportunities to have a chance to finish."

The Lady Vols (11-4, 4-3 SEC) used only two substitutes in the game. Senior forward Chelsea Hatcher was held out because of an illness. She is expected to play Sunday at Vanderbilt.

On the golden goal, Kelsey Hunyadi sent a long pass to Horner. The junior captain took a couple dribbles, faked the Tennessee defender and then fired a shot from the top corner of the six-yard box over the outstretched arms of freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel.

"All I could see was net," Horner said about her first goal of the season. "I freaked out for a second because I didn't know for sure. I turned and saw Kelsey running full speed at me, so I knew it was in."

The Wildcats (11-4, 4-3) outshot the Lady Vols 22-11.

"We were going at it like crazy and really getting frustrated in the second half," said Horner. "We felt like we should have been ahead."

Kentucky freshman Kayla Price made three saves for her fifth shutout.

No heroics required for Lady Vols in soccer, 2-0By Dave Link


No drama was needed Sunday afternoon, and that was just fine with Tennessee women's soccer coach Angela Kelly.

Senior forward Emily Dowd had a goal and an assist as the No. 15-ranked Lady Vols beat unranked Mississippi State 2-0 in front of 1,378 fans at Regal Stadium.

UT (11-3-0, 4-2 in SEC) didn't need another dramatic comeback like Friday night when it faced a 0-3 deficit against Ole Miss before rallying for a 4-3 victory in overtime.

Mississippi State (4-7-3, 1-4-1) was coming off a 4-3 loss in double overtime at Georgia on Friday night.

"Both teams had an overtime game on Friday night and we expended a lot of emotional energy, and I think the sign of a great team is how they respond after a tough loss and an emotional win," Kelly said. "I challenged the team with that and I thought that they responded very well and they executed, and that's what needed to happen."

Dowd helped make it happen.

"(Kelly) tells us it doesn't mean anything if we don't come out and win on Sundays when we win on Friday nights," Dowd said, "so we were definitely ready to come out and do everything we could not to lose."

Dowd's goal was her 10th of the season, matching sophomore Caroline Brown for the team-high in goals this season. Dowd and Brown are UT's first double-digit scoring duo since 1998 and only the second in UT history.

Dowd has scored all of her goals and notched all six of her assists in the last 10 games.

"We've just had such a strong connection up top," Dowd said. "We just work really well together and always find each other."

UT took a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute.

10/22/2011http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/oct/09/no-heroics-required/?print=1

Junior midfielder Kylie Bono beat a defender on the left wing and passed near the left post to Dowd, who knocked the ball past goalie Skylar Rosson.

"Honestly, I don't know how it managed to go in," Dowd said. "It was a pretty slow-moving ball, but I'm glad it went in and we were able to score."

The Lady Vols led 1-0 at halftime when they had five shots to the Bulldogs' four.

UT went ahead 2-0 in the 49th minute. Senior Chelsea Hatcher, who had the game-winning goal Friday night, dribbled down the right side and passed to Dowd on the right wing, and Dowd crossed it back to Hatcher for the goal from 7 yards out.

"We just made the run out wide and then I found her in the box, and she was in perfect position and placed it really nicely," Dowd said.

UT now has three consecutive road games, starting Friday night at Kentucky.

"We need to win every game," Kelly said. "I told the team at the beginning of the season that the team that wins this conference is not going to go unscathed, and we are truly just taking it one day at a time and looking to continue to improve every day."

Hatcher's goal caps big comeback by Lady VolsBy Mike Strange

Saturday, October 8, 2011

Down 3-0 at halftime to Ole Miss, Tennessee's Lady Vols might have been a little stunned Friday night at Regal Soccer Stadium. They were clearly frustrated.

But they had a plan.

It worked.

No. 15 UT rallied to send the game into overtime. Then, 93 seconds into the extra period, Chelsea Hatcher launched her school-record 14th shot of the night and it found the upper-left corner of the net for a 4-3 victory.

"In terms of comebacks for the University of Tennessee, I can't recall one where we've had three goals in one half and came back to win it,'' said coach Angela Kelly. "You can't execute that unless you have a plan. There's a method to it.''

The rally saved the Lady Vols (10-3-0, 3-2-0) from having a lot of 'splaining to do. Ole Miss (5-7-1, 1-4-0) had the second-worst record in the SEC.

All three Rebel goals were generated by Dylan Jordan, a senior from Palmyra, Tenn., near Clarksville, the first hat trick allowed by Tennessee since 1998.

Kelly's message at halftime: Be methodical. Chip away one goal at a time.

"The most important thing we organized at halftime was that they knew it had to be methodical,'' Kelly said, "that we have 45 minutes."

Amy Harrison finally got Tennessee on the board, heading in an Emily Shore corner kick in the 59th minute.

Two minutes later, Emily Dowd deftly redirected a Caroline Brown shot into the net and all of a sudden it was 3-2.

That got the crowd of 1,215 back in the game.

The Lady Vols kept applying the pressure and were rewarded when Brown made a long run down the right side, outmaneuvered a defender and converted a tough-angle shot from 6 yards in the 80th minute.

"I credit the unit for continuing to create opportunities,'' Kelly said, "because it wasn't that they were doing that many things wrong in the first half. They were creating; it just wasn't going their way.''

Hatcher was especially creative. Her 14 shots broke the previous record of 12. And eight of them were on goal.

"I was so frustrated,'' she said.

"All of us had been taking great shots on frame. The goalkeeper was making great saves, and we were hitting posts left and right.''

The Rebels were handicapped in the second half. Rafaelle Souza, who entered the game tied with Brown for the SEC scoring lead at nine goals, injured her left ankle late in the first half and did not return.

"We would have a lot more to solve if she had stayed in the game,'' Kelly said.

As it was, Jordan left them enough to solve.

"All the Tennessee girls play awesome against Tennessee when they're here,'' Kelly said. "I'm always happy for soccer to continue to flourish in the state, and if playing against their home state brings out the best in them, then good for them.''

In the second half, it brought out the best in Tennessee, too.

Emily Dowd scores twice; UT soccer team beats Arkansas, 4-0 By News Sentinel staff


The Tennessee soccer team got two goals from senior forward Emily Dowd, and the No. 10 Lady Vols cruised past Arkansas, 4-0, on Sunday afternoon at Razorback Field in Fayetteville, Ark.

Dowd also had an assist for the Lady Vols (9-3-0, 2-2-0 SEC), who also got a late score from team Caroline Brown, who leads the team with nine goals.

Tennessee benefitted from an own goal when Razorback defender Courtney Williams sent a cross into her own net on a failed clearing attempt.

Sophomore midfielder Sanna Saarinen tallied her second assist of the year on Dowd's opening score.

The Lady Vols outshot the Razorbacks (4-7-0, 2-2-0)18-17 count.

UT freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel had a career-high nine saves in her fourth career solo shutout.

"I'm pleased with the result today," Lady Vol coach Angela Kelly said."I thought we showed a strong commitment to every facet of the game.That's something we need to do every single day going forward.I thought we were very explosive and created lots of quality scoring opportunities.Give some credit to Emily Dowd for scoring two goals today and for having totaled eight goals over our last eight matches."

Tennessee got on the board early, with Brown finding Dowd in the middle, and Dowd finishing from 7 yards out for a 1-0 lead at 6:44. It was fourth time this season that the Lady Vols scored on their first shot of a contest.

Late rush, two shots on goal not enough, 2-0By News Sentinel staff

Originally published 01:00 a.m., October 1, 2011Updated 01:07 a.m., October 1, 2011

Tennessee didn't have much of shot against LSU on Friday night.

The 10th-ranked Lady Vols managed just seven attempts and only two on goal and suffered the consequences, losing 2-0 to the Tigers before a crowd of 1,284 at the LSU Soccer Complex.

Natalie Ieyoub scored in the 34th minute for LSU (8-3-1, 3-0 SEC) and Addie Eggleston added an insurance goal in the 62nd minute.

The Tigers extended their unbeaten streak to eight matches and scored their first home victory of the season against a nationally ranked opponent.

The Tigers tied then-No. 13 Pepperdine on Sept. 11.

Despite a 7-1 edge in corner kicks, Tennessee couldn't find the back of the net. Alexis Owens, who was Soccer America's national player of the week after scoring a hat trick against Florida last Sunday, was held without a shot attempt. Chelsea Hatcher and Emily Dowd mustered the two shot attempts.

Ieyoub, a substitute, scored the first goal after a pair of touch passes delivered the ball to her at the top of the box. She moved to her right and blasted a shot past leaping goalkeeper Julie Eckel.

With Tennessee (8-3, 1-2) pressing late, a turnover helped set up the final goal. Allysha Chapman sent the ball to Eggleston who beat a charging Eckel from about 10 yards out.

Tennessee completes its weekend road trip with a match at Arkansas at 2 p.m. Sunday.

Alexis Owens' hat trick dusts No. 6 FloridaLady Vols get back on track, 4-2

By Dave Link

Sunday, September 25, 2011

Tennessee junior Alexis Owens had a breakout game in a big-time setting Sunday afternoon.

Owens scored three goals and the No. 11-ranked Lady Vols beat No. 6 Florida 4-2 in front of 1,480 fans at Regal Soccer Stadium.

It was just the performance the Lady Vols needed after being upset by South Carolina 2-1 in two overtimes Friday night.

"I'm pumped," Owens said. "It was a team effort."

And it came in front of U.S. women's soccer legend Mia Hamm, who played college soccer at North Carolina with UT coach Angela Kelly. Hamm watched the game from the press box and talked with the Lady Vols briefly after the game.

"I shared with the team that all the things that I'm trying to teach them in order to become a stronger young lady, the importance is the friendships that you develop and working towards a common goal with people that you genuinely respect and care about," Kelly said. "And I told them I'm very pleased for the success they're having, and they're doing all the right things every time they're asked to do them on and off the field, and here's the byproduct of what I feel is most important from my college career in my best friend (Hamm)."

Owens, who had two goals in her UT career before Sunday, got her first start of the season as the Lady Vols went with a lineup of four forwards.

UT (8-2, 1-1 SEC) had six shots in the game, while Florida (8-3, 1-1) had 13 shots.

Florida, which has won the last five SEC regular-season championships, has not beaten the Lady Vols in Knoxville since 1999.

The Lady Vols beat Florida for the first time since 2007.

The teams tied in 2009 in Knoxville.

UT took a 3-0 lead before halftime when they made the most of four shots.

9/26/2011http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/sep/25/owens-hat-trick-dusts-no-6-florida/?print=1

Owens scored the first goal off an assist by Emily Dowd in the fifth minute. Dowd scored on Caroline Brown's assist in the 23rd minute and Owens' unassisted goal made it 3-0 with 9:12 left in the half.

Florida cut the deficit to 3-2 on goals by Erika Tymrak in the 47th minute and Havana Solaun in the 64th minute.

Owens got her hat trick when she took a long pass from Brown and scored from 6 yards on the left wing in the 86th minute.

"It was huge," Owens said. "Like Mia said (after the game), it took the wind out of their sails."

Hamm was glad to help Kelly and the Lady Vols.

"Angie and I are college teammates, roommates, and any opportunity to help support her and her program," Hamm said at halftime. "I know she's invested so much and cares about this community, and not just about creating a winning soccer tradition but making sure that these young women come out of this experience better human beings, and so just being here on a beautiful day like today against competition like Florida, it's great. It's great for me to see women's soccer come to this level, and just to be here to support (Kelly)."

Lady Vols upset No. 6 Florida, 4-2 WILL STOKES, STAFF WRITER

PUBLISHED: MON SEP 26, 2011

Marigrace Angelo • The Daily Beacon

Alexis Owens drives past a defender during a match against Coastal Carolina on Friday, Sept. 16. Owens helped lead the Lady Vols, with a hat trick, to a 4-2 upset of No. 6-ranked Florida.

The No. 11-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols started the weekend off suffering a tough 2-1 overtime loss in their first SEC game against the South Carolina Gamecocks. They then went on to face their toughest opponent so far this season in the Florida Gators, ranked No. 6 nationally. The Lady Vols recorded four goals against Florida for the first time in program history in a 4-2 victory. This also extended their five-game unbeaten streak against Florida in Knoxville, as the Gators have failed to come to Rocky Top and win since 1999. “We obviously had to change our tactics to suit Florida,” coach Angela Kelly said, “but we did push on being very active on offense and staying strong in the back. We treat every team somewhat equally and we don’t like to pay attention to rankings. Every game is as important as the last and even though Florida is a tough opponent, we must treat them the same.”

The Lady Vols decided to set the tempo in the game against Florida, as senior forward Emily Dowd assisted the junior Alexis Owens as she squeaked one by in the fifth minute from the right wing past UF freshman goalkeeper Taylor Burke. After some very strong defense and a relentless and non-stop high pressure offense, the Lady Vols took control as Dowd finished off a three-on-two breakaway, assisted by sophomore forward Caroline Brown in the 33rd minute of the game. The Lady Vols were on a mission to deliver a message to the rest of the nation that they are for real, as they went up on the Gators 2-0. Nine minutes before halftime, the Lady Vols put away their third goal as Owens recorded her second of the game, unassisted, making the game a 3-0 contest. The Florida Gators did not want to give up just yet, though. A minute and a half into the second half, they were given a golden opportunity as they were awarded a penalty kick. The junior midfielder/forward Erika Tymrak put one by UT goalie Julie Eckel to make the score 3-1. The Lady Vols played a very reserved game in the second half, the complete opposite of how they played, and dominated, in the first half. The Gators capitalized on two defensive miscues to put themselves only one goal back with 26 minutes remaining in the game. Despite all of the Gators’ efforts, the sterling performance from Owens continued as she completed her hat trick on a breakaway goal with five minutes remaining. Brown recorded her second assist of the game on that goal, and put the Gators away for good. “I knew once I got the ball that we were only up 3-2 and Florida was closing in,” Owens said. “So I had to give us one more to be confident that we would finish off the game. I never thought coming in that I would get three goals, especially against Florida, and record a game-winning goal. However, I couldn’t have done it without my team and Caroline Brown sending me some great passes.” The Lady Vols survived what some would call a scare to complete the upset over the Florida Gators. They now move to a 8-2 overall record, and 1-1 in SEC play. For their next game, the Lady Vols will travel to LSU, Friday at 7 p.m.

Streaks end for Lady Vols; South Carolina scores in 2nd OT, 2-1By Phil Kaplan

Saturday, September 24, 2011

Just like the crowd wearing the 1,500 free Lady Vols scarves around their necks,a similar grip by South Carolina ended a number of streaks by the Tennessee women's soccer team at Regal Soccer Stadium.

The Lady Gamecocks (7-3, 1-0 SEC) figured a way to score against freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel to beat the Lady Vols 2-1 in two overtimes on Friday night.

The loss ended a five-game winning streak for the No. 12 Lady Vols (7-2-0, 0-1).

Forward Kayla Grimsely found a seam with teammates Lolly Holland and Kortney Rhoades trailing on the left side for a 3-on-1 advantage. Grimsley's pass to Rhoades was on the mark and the senior midfielder beat Eckel with 4:26 left on the clock.

"We worked on that in practice," said Grimsley. "Making the runs from the outside and slashing it across. ... (Rhoades) made an incredible run and I put it right between the two."

South Carolina freshman goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo, who entered the game with an 0.39 goals-against-average, made just 5 saves, but the Lady Vols took 24 shots with many of them just missing.

"We need to bury our chances," said Lady Vols coach Angela Kelly. "We had numerous chances to put the ball in the back of the net. Credit their goalkeeper came up big on a number of different occasions. We have to execute. We have to have the wherewithal to put it away. And that's the bottom line"

The only shot that found the net for the Lady Vols was Caroline Brown's eighth goal of the season. The sophomore forward was denied in the box by D'Angelo, but with the ball loose and a second opportunity from almost the same spot and the same kick, the game was tied at 1-1 with 36:44 left to play in the second half.

A strong kick Rhoades easily beat Eckle at the 29:28 mark of the first half. The goal ended UT's streak of not allowing a goal at 471 minutes, 10 seconds, a span of 5 complete games and parts of two other games.

Still, UT needed only 1:58 into the game to break the previous school record for the longest shutout streak.

During a string of five consecutive shutouts, Eckel had stopped 22 consecutive shots. She entered the game with a 0.51 goals-against-average to help the Lady Vols to their best start in program history after 8 games.

South Carolina attempted 20 shots and Eckel made 6 saves.

South Carolina forward Danielle Au came within inches of breaking the tie when her booming shot smacked the top of the crossbar with 19:30 left in the second half.

D'Angelo came out of her goal to challenge senior forward Emily Dowd, who after some quick footwork had a breakaway. D'Angelo was able to get a hand on the shot to slow it down and a South Carolina defender sped up to kick the ball as it rolled toward the mouth of the goal.

"It was a tough game and we'll move forward," said Eckel.

The Lady Vols will need to move forward with No. 6 Florida (8-2, 1-0), winners of the last five SEC championships, in Knoxville at 1 p.m. Sunday (TV: CSS, 2 p.m., tape delayed).

"The most important message I gave our young ladies was that we have a lot of substance," said Kelly. "We did a lot of great things. We're going to take this experience and we're going to be better."

Caroline Brown ‘genuine’ off soccer pitch WILL STOKES, STAFF WRITER – THE DAILY BEACON

PUBLISHED: WED SEP 21, 2011

Marigrace Angelo • The Daily Beacon

Sophomore forward Caroline Brown attempts to score against a Charlotte player on Sept. 9. Brown has had seven goals and three assists this season.

“Genuine” and “always trying to do the right thing” are the two descriptions that completely epitomize Tennessee sophomore forward Caroline Brown. These attributes were reiterated multiple times by coach Angela Kelly and Brown’s roommate, sophomore defender Caroline Capocaccia. After speaking with Brown, one could tell by the way she spoke and presented herself that these were perfect descriptions. “My favorite part about Caroline would have to be how genuine of a person she is,” Capocaccia said. “She is always trying to do the right thing for the team. Whether it be helping us win or if someone is struggling with their work, she would be there to help them.” Brown has done a lot for her team. She has had a part in leading them to the Lady Vols’ best start in the program’s history, along with leading the nation in multiple categories, and she’s only a sophomore. For Kelly, however, she makes a much stronger impact. “She plays with a lot of intensity and integrity,” Kelly said. “What most people don’t get to see on a regular basis, is how great of a person she is. She’s always helping others and is always smiling, cracking jokes and lifting up the team. The most impressive part has to be her maturity and ability to lead as a sophomore.” Brown moved a lot in her childhood, but eventually found a home in Hershey, Pa. She attended Hershey High School and set a school record with 93 career goals. She was not always confident that she would end up playing soccer until later in life. “I just wanted to play soccer like every other kid who got put into soccer at a young age,” Brown said. “A few years into playing I had been put into a strong club soccer program but never thought too much of it. It wasn’t until my dad told me one day I would be playing college soccer, that I realized I might have a future.” This would not be the only time Brown had looked up to her parents. She said she owes a lot to her parents and that they are the ones she looked up to all her life. “My mom always tried doing the right thing for me and my siblings growing up,” Brown said, “which is

probably where I get my ability to help people when they need it.” But her close ties to her family do not stop with her parents. The tradition of going to UT went way back to her grandfather, passed down to her parents and finally to her two older siblings, one of which, her brother, is now a senior at UT. “I always really knew I’d be going to Tennessee because I grew up with it in the house and wanted to continue as my family did,” Brown said. On a more personal level, she revealed three of her other favorite hobbies. “I have always enjoyed painting and photography from an artistic point of view,” Brown said. “And of course I can always watch football, both NFL and college, at all times. It never gets old for me.” Brown and the rest of the Lady Vols are continuing the season trying to be as successful as possible. This Friday and Sunday they face the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Florida Gators in their first two SEC games of the year.

Lady Vols (7-1) off to best start ever in soccer By Phil Kaplan

Friday, September 16, 2011

The Tennessee women's soccer team reached uncharted territory less than a month into the season on Friday night. And from here on out the Lady Vols will have to navigate through a demanding SEC schedule.

The No. 13 Lady Vols (7-1) had an easy time in a 4-0 victory against Coastal Carolina (0-7-1) at Regal Soccer Stadium.

The Lady Vols have never been 7-1 after eight games. The previous times the Lady Vols had six wins at this point in the season — 2002, 2003 and 2007 — UT advanced all the way to the NCAA Sweet 16.

And in order to keep the record book changing, the Lady Vols will be tested first by formidable South Carolina (6-2) next Friday and two days later by No. 9 Florida (5-2), winners of the last five SEC championships.

"We always try to play a tough out-of-conference schedule so that we're prepared for anything we might face in conference," said Lady Vols coach Angela Kelly, who has been at UT for 15 years.

UT freshman Julie Eckel, who entered the game allowing 0.57 goals per game, was more of a spectator from her goalkeeper's vantage point — with no save attempts as the Chanticleers attempting only some feeble shots. Redshirt sophomore RB Wyatt, playing for the first time this season, replaced Eckels with 9 minutes left in the game.

It was fifth consecutive shutout for the Lady Vols and stretched UT's scoreless streak to 455 minutes, 38 seconds. The Lady Vols can surpass the school record set in 2007 by holding South Carolina scoreless for 1:58.

"It's just really exciting to have this momentum going into the SEC and for the whole team and the defense to be working together," said Eckel.

Caroline Brown scored just four minutes into the match for her team-leading seventh of the season. Kylie Bono made it 2-0 just eight minutes later on assists from Brown and Emily Dowd. Amy Harrison's cross to Dowd gave the Lady Vols a 3-0 lead with just under 19 minutes played.

In the second half, Dowd scored again, this time on assist from Chelsea Hatcher, after goalkeeper Megan Spencer was out of position to lead 4-0.

Most of the second half had Kelly entering the bench.

"I always have this caution in the back of my mind," said Kelly about the 8-1 start. "Today we need to better and tomorrow we need to be better. ... I'm not projecting anything forward and we're not going to worry what we've done in the past and we're going to focus what's next."

Sizzling start continues as Lady Vols roll, 5-0 By Mike Strange


Caroline Brown admitted she was "barely'' warmed up Friday night when she scored the goal that ignited a 5-0 Tennessee romp over Charlotte.

One minute, 51 seconds off the clock at Regal Soccer Stadium and the Lady Vols were exchanging hugs and high fives.

Where does that rank among quick scores in Brown's career?

"That was probably it,'' she said.

Goals come preciously and sometimes not at all in soccer. When one comes early it's a terrific emotional swing — for both teams.

"It really gets our confidence up,'' said Brown, the sophomore forward. "We try to come out hard every game and when you are successful at that ''

So you can imagine what Amy Harrison's goal less than five minutes later did to Tennessee's confidence.

Charlotte's odds went from slim to virtually none.

The 14th-ranked Lady Vols tacked on three more goals on a night when they matched the best start in program history.

Tennessee is 6-1, equaling the 2002 and 2003 teams. A win over Coastal Carolina next week would be breaking new ground.

Another promising sign that this might be an enjoyable season for Lady Vol fans —there were 1,445 of them at Friday's game — was a fourth consecutive shutout.

That's only happened once before, in 2007. The scoreless streak stands at 365 minutes, 38 seconds.

"We lost a few seniors in our defense from last year,'' Brown said, "so it was like, 'OK, we're gonna have to fill these spots.'

"We filled them fantastically.''

That's especially true in that big spot in goal. True freshman Julie Eckel has been an immediate hit. But that's only part of the story.

"We know defense starts with the whole unit,'' said coach Angela Kelly.

As Charlotte (2-3-2) became the latest to discover, offense seems to frequently end with Brown.

She added another goal in the 33rd minute, deftly redirecting a pass from the fresh legs of Alexis Owens, who had moments earlier entered the game.

That's six goals for Brown already before SEC season begins.

Hardworking Emily Dowd added her third goal of the season in the 67th minute, then assisted as freshman Lexi Krause scored her first collegiate goal in the 79th minute.

Kelly, who sent 22 different players on the field, is pleased with the way things are developing. But that's always subject to change.

"Yeah,'' she said. "It's always great to have success but there is always that caution in my head that we can't allow any sort of complacency to step in.

"The conference is starting and we're going to get everybody's best shot. Allowing complacency to set in, (success) can to be so fleeting. It can go as quick as it was there.

"So you cant take any moment for granted.''

Lady Vols shut down UNC Greensboro, 2-0By News Sentinel staff

Sunday, September 4, 2011

Goals from Kylie Bono and Alexis Owens propelled Tennessee to a 2-0 soccer victory Sunday at UNC Greensboro.

The Lady Vols are 5-1, matching the program's best six-game start from 2002 and 2003.

A third consecutive shutout extended Tennessee's scoreless defensive streak to 275 minutes, 38 seconds with freshman Julie Eckel in goal.

Bono's goal came in the 44th minute from 15 yards, on a rebound after Greensboro had blocked a shot from UT freshman Iyana Moore.

Bono got the assist on the goal by Owens in the 83rd minute. Owens' first goal of the season came from 14 yards on the right side.

Tennessee outshot the Spartans 16-5. Eckel posted five saves.

UT has not allowed a score since giving up two late goals to UCLA in a 2-1 defeat on Aug. 26.

"The back line did a tremendous job,'' said coach Angela Kelly.

"Allie Sirna and Julie Eckel are true freshmen back there and they're disciplined and they're coachable.

"I admire the way the youth of this team is embracing their game and trying to implement everything the coaching staff is throwing at them."

Tennessee earned a fifth penalty kick in the first six games. Emily Dowd couldn't convert midway through the first half, but Kelly lauded the team's aggressiveness.

"It tells me we're organized and combining to get behind the defense,'' she said

The Lady Vols begin a four-game homestand on Friday against Charlotte at 7 p.m.

Meet Your Seat: Fans of men's and women's basketball are invited to a "Meet Your Seat" opportunity at Thompson-Boling Arena this week.

Those interested in purchasing season tickets can try various options from 4-7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.

Carolyn Brown delivers to Emily Dowd By Phil Kaplan [email protected]


Emily Dowd and Caroline Brown are no strangers. And that's a good thing for the Tennessee women's soccer team.

Dowd scored twice on assists from Brown in a span of 1 minute, 17 seconds to break a scoreless tie to lift the Lady Vols to a 2-0 victory over Middle Tennessee State at Regal Soccer Stadium on Friday night.

"I always know where she's supposed to be," Dowd, a senior forward said about Brown, a sophomore forward. "As long as she's there, that's where I'm going to play it."

And she did.

Brown sent a cross to the right post that rolled past goalkeeper Rebecca Cushing and all an open Dowd had to do was direct the slow-moving ball into the goal from 2 yards out with 8:36 left to play.

"It's like (coach Angela Kelly) always says, follow up, do all the little things," said Dowd. "That's what she talks about."

It started a mini-celebration for the No. 23 Lady Vols (4-1) after struggling with the pesky Blue Raiders (1-3) of the Sun Belt Conference.

Not long after, Dowd and Brown did it again at the 82:41 mark. This time, Brown set up Dowd perfectly on the right side and her kick to the left of the goal easily beat Cushing.

"Textbook," Dowd said of the play. "Just like (Kelly) asks for."

MTSU kept UT goalkeeper Julie Eckel, who entered the game with a 0.98 goals allowed average, busy in the first half with a 12-9 shot advantage and forced the freshman to make six saves.

The Lady Vols had some chances, but Cushing needed to make one save, although she was helped with some shots that ricochetted off of her and MTSU defenders.

That changed in the second half as MTSU went for most of the period without a shot on goal, finishing with three. At one point UT had a 9-1 shot advantage.

Ali Hall nearly prevented the dramatics for the Lady Vols when the junior defenseman sent a shot that hit the top of the crossbar with under 34 minutes left.

9/5/2011http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/sep/02/carolyn-brown-delivers-to-emily-dowd/?print...

Brown had a chance to score her fifth goal of the season when Becky Pedro of MTSU was called for a foul in the box when she took down Brown with under 20 minutes left.

However, Brown's penalty kick was read perfectly to the right by a diving Cushing and the ball was deflected away from the goal.

That left it up for Brown to find Dowd.

"We have a very strong connection," Brown said about Dowd, adding that it has grown from a year ago.

And it didn't matter that Dowd tapped in what would have been a goal later for Brown.

"I don't care who hits it as long as it goes in," said Brown.

Notebook: Defenseman Hannah Hut was on crutches after suffering a high right ankle sprain in last Sunday's win over Texas A&M. UT expects the senior to return at some point this season.

Lady Vols ranked in soccer Lady Vols return to soccer rankings

By News Sentinel staff

Originally published 11:28 a.m., September 1, 2011Updated 02:12 p.m., September 1, 2011

Tennessee returns to the women's soccer national rankings just in time for Friday's game against Middle Tennessee State.

The Lady Vols are No. 23 in the new poll by the national coaches association, their first ranking since August 2009.

The promotion comes after a 3-1 start that included a 1-0 win over No. 18 Texas A&M on Sunday.

UT joins No. 13 Florida as the only SEC teams in the poll. North Carolina is No. 1.

UT's only loss is to No. 6 UCLA, which moved up nine spots after winning the First Tennessee Lady Vols Classic.

The Middle Tennessee State game begins at 7 at Regal Soccer Stadium.

Men's Swimming: Junior Ed Walsh has been voted captain of Tennessee's men's swimming team.

"I think the team chose wisely,'' said coach John Trembley. "Ed is both vocal and leads by example.''

Walsh is just the third junior elected captain in the past 40-plus years.

"Ed grew up in the rough part of London and has had to fight for things in a way that most students at UT can't fathom,'' Trembley said.

Caroline Brown's goal pushes UT past Texas A&MClay Seal, [email protected]

Sunday, August 28, 2011

Just like Friday night against UCLA, the Tennessee soccer team took the first lead

Sunday against Texas A&M.

But unlike Friday, the Lady Vols kept that lead and earned a 1-0 win against the No. 18

Aggies at Regal Soccer Stadium in their closing match of the First Tennessee Lady

Vols Classic.

"We are challenging ourselves," UT coach Angela Kelly said. "Two Big 12 teams on

the road (Kansas and Oklahoma), a perennial Final Four team in UCLA, Texas A&M

has won the Big 12 numerous years "

Sophomore Caroline Brown netted her team-leading fourth goal of the season on a

34th-minute penalty kick for Tennessee as UT improved to 3-1, a first since 2007

thanks in part to tough early-season schedules.

"I feel like this year we're all on the same page," said senior Emily Dowd. "I've never

felt the chemistry that we have this year. It just feels a lot different and a lot better."

The Lady Vols gave up the equalizer and game-winner in the final 10 minutes Friday

against No. 15 UCLA, losing 2-1.

"I think we were a little more composed today," said Brown. "We didn't get quite as

frantic. We kept the ball when we needed to, and I think that really helped, especially at

the end."

It was the first win against a ranked opponent for UT since 2008.

UCLA (3-0) beat No. 8 Florida (3-1) 2-0 and won the Lady Vols Classic after

Tennessee played.

Brown's penalty kick, which put her over her season mark in goals from last year, was

set up when Texas A&M (1-3) goalie Jordan Day juggled a pass in the box, and used

her hands to trip Alexis Owens in front of goal.

Texas A&M outshot Tennessee 15-8, but freshman Julie Eckels' five saves preserved

UT's first shutout of the season.

8/29/2011http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/aug/28/browns-goal-pushes-ut-past-texas-...

After a shaky first 10 minutes, the Lady Vols kept the ball mostly on the Aggies' side of

the field, earning three of their four corner kicks in the first half.

"We certainly aren't going to allow teams to be all over us, that's certainly not the plan,"

Kelly said. "Our philosophy is that we want to possess out of pressure and we punish

them with possession. I think we've really developed in that area."

There were five yellow cards issued — three to Texas A&M and two to Tennessee.

Injury update: Kelly had no information about senior starting defender Hannah Hut,

who was carried off the field in the 56th minute Sunday. Hut was wearing a boot on her

right foot after the game.

Tennessee needed just one break against Texas A&M and when the opportunity presented itself they answered it.

At the 10:44 mark in the first half the Lady Vols (3-1) were on the attack inside the Aggies box when Texas A&M goal keeper Jordan Day tripped Tennessee forward Alexis Owens. Tennessee was given a penalty kick and sophomore Caroline Brown took the shot.

Brown went left and Day stopped the initial shot, but the momentum from the kick carried the ball into the goal to give Tennessee the 1-0 lead.

That was all that the Lady Vols needed.

"As a team we are just putting it all together," said Brown.

A&M (1-3) mounted a second half attack amassing four shots on goal, more than Tennessee had all game.

The Lady Vols showed much more confidence late in the game during Texas A&M's attacks than they did against UCLA Friday night where they gave up two second half goals said UT forward Emily Dowd.

"I feel like we are all on the same page," said Dowd. "I've never felt the kind of chemistry we have this year. It feels a lot better."

Dowd nearly put the game away in the final minutes with a shot from just outside the box that sailed over the crossbar. Dowd stole the following throw in and shot wide right of the net.

Tennessee was able to play the final minutes inside the Aggies zone keeping A&M from scoring a last second equalizer.

"We were able to keep the ball when we needed to," said Brown. "We weren't as frantic in our end."

Brown has scored four goals in four games and has been the offensive catalyst for Tennessee.

Hannah Hut was injured in the first half and had to be carried off the field. There is no update on Hut's injury.

The Lady Vols are back in action next Friday against Middle Tennessee State at home at 7 p.m.

Soccer upsets No. 18 Texas A&M WILL STOKES, STAFF WRITER

PUBLISHED: MON AUG 29, 2011

After a strong 2-0 start to the still-fresh season, the Lady Vols soccer team kicked off the First Tennessee Lady Vol Classic against 15th-ranked UCLA on Friday night and played 18th-ranked Texas A&M on Sunday. Freshman goalkeeper Julie Eckel played an important role in keeping her team in contention with the two top-ranked teams. She had a combined 10 saves and only gave up two goals. The first strike of Friday’s game came from senior Chelsea Hatcher and was assisted by Kylie Bono in the 61st minute. As the game went on, however, the UCLA offense could not be held down. They recorded two goals in the last 10 minutes of the game to win 2-1. The game of the weekend, though, came Sunday morning when the Lady Vols went up against the Aggies. The two senior leaders from Gainesville, Fla., Emily Dowd and Emily Shore, came into the contest looking to lead the Lady Vol attack, along with sophomore Caroline Brown (three goals in three games). After hard work on defense, UT’s first real chance of the game came from sophomore Caroline Brown in the 23rd minute, after she dribbled through two defenders but was denied by A&M’s freshman goalkeeper Jordan Day. After an unsuccessful through-ball, Day sent a punt into their attacking half and the Aggies had their first shot at the goal, but Eckel made a sliding save to keep the game tied. Soon after, A&M’s Kelly Monogue had a pair of post shots that denied them near the end of the first half. In the 35th minute, Day tripped up Alexis Owens to give the Lady Vols a penalty kick. Brown converted, giving UT a 1-0 lead. It was her fourth goal in as many games. Both the aggressive and fast-paced natures of the game continued through the second half as both teams reached double-digit fouls (30 combined). The referee also became stricter as he produced four more yellow cards. Most of the offense came from the Aggies as they outshot the Lady Vols 15-8. The Lady Vols defense held strong second half, as they did not want to give up another late goal. With one minute to go, Dowd intercepted a pass from the Aggies and nearly put the Lady Vols up 2-0. Nonetheless, Tennessee hung on and defeated Texas A&M to advance to 3-1 on the season. “I feel the group of girls we have this year are the closest we have ever had since I have been here,” Dowd said as Brown shook her head in agreement. “With that said, we are able to play well together and we are in sync with what we want to do on the field. It should help us down the road.” Injury Update With about 35 minutes left in the second half, senior defender Hannah Hut had to be carried off the field after a hard collision with an attacking Aggie. Her status post-game was indeterminable at that time. Emerging Star Sophomore Caroline Brown has been a huge part of the Lady Vols’ success in the first four games of the season. She has scored four goals in as many games, two of which were game-winners. Before this weekend’s Lady Vol Classic, she had been named to both the SEC Offensive Player of the Week and CollegeSoccer360.com’s Primetime Performer of the Week. After playing mainly in the midfield last year,

she now sticks to being a forward. “I played lots of midfield last year, but throughout summer workouts and the first few games I enjoy playing forward now,” Brown said. When asked about the possibility of other teams planning to shut her down she responded with, “Well, we have three great forwards on this team and if the other team wants to single one of us out, we will let them do so because any one of us can get it done.”

UCLA's late rally trips Lady Vols, 2-1By Mike Strange

Friday, August 26, 2011

Tennessee's women never have started a soccer season 3-0, a barrier partly

attributable to difficult scheduling. And Friday night's match with No. 15 UCLA qualified

on that account.

The Lady Vols let a golden opportunity to make history escape as the Bruins scored

twice in the final 10 minutes for a 2-1 victory at Regal Soccer Stadium on the opening

night of the First Tennessee Lady Vols Classic.

With UT up 1-0 after Chelsea Hatcher's goal in the 63rd minute, a crowd of 2,048 was

watching the clock and counting down the minutes.

"We played well for 80 minutes of that game,'' Hatcher said, "and then we unplugged a

little bit — and they punished us.''

Thus UT takes a familiar 2-1 record into Sunday's 11:30 a.m. match against Texas

A&M (1-2).

Florida (3-0) plays UCLA (2-0) at 1:30 p.m. The No. 8 Gators squeaked out a 3-2 win

over the Aggies on Friday night.

After a scoreless first half, the Lady Vols got precious few opportunities in the second.

Hatcher made good on UT's first shot of the half, from 14 yards on the right side.

Nearly 20 minutes built anticipation before UCLA's Zakiya Bywaters got loose and tied

the score in the 81st minute.

Approximately four minutes later, Sydney Leroux tapped in the winner on a rebound

after UT goalkeeper Julie Eckel sprawled to make a save.

The Bruins outshot Tennessee 21-11 overall and 14-3 in the second half.

However, Lady Vols coach Angela Kelly was more interested in shots-on-goal and

corners: UCLA held a more modest 7-4 edge on both counts.

"That,'' said Kelly, "is a more of the true depiction of the run of play.

"UCLA is No. 15 in some polls and they've been to eight Final Fours in their history.

We're pretty excited about where we are this early in the season.

"But still, we need to put the ball in the back of the net.''

8/29/2011http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/aug/26/uclas-late-rally-trips-lady-vols-2-1/?...

Both teams had close calls. The Lady Vols were within a whisker of extending the lead

to 2-0 when Caroline Brown sent a cross in front of the goal to Emily Dowd, whose

attempt flicked just wide.

"She was just a half-step late on the back post,'' Kelly said.

"We have to have that killer instinct. It has to be there. We're seeing instances of it.

"Now we have to close a game out.''

Eckel, a freshman making her third start, had five saves.

Kylie Bono got an assist for her long feed that Hatcher ran down and converted for her

first goal of the season.

The crowd was the fifth-largest in UT history.

UT soccer aims for postseason success CLAY SEAL, STAFF WRITER

PUBLISHED: FRI AUG 26, 2011 | MODIFIED: TUE AUG 30, 2011 07:32 P.M.

Lady Vols soccer coach Angela Kelly is not bashful when talking about her team’s goals, even if the team has fallen short in the past two seasons. “The expectations are very high at Tennessee, as they should be,” Kelly said. “(Interim Athletic Director) Joan Cronan has given us everything we could possibly ask for …” Those “expectations” are to achieve the triple crown — win the SEC regular season and tournament, and earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008. With 10 upperclassmen, the Lady Vols return key players all over the field, including 10 of their 12 goal scorers from last season. After finishing last season with a 10-9-1 record (7-3-1 SEC) and a first-round exit in the SEC Tournament for a second consecutive year, Tennessee was picked to finish fourth in the SEC East in the league coaches’ preseason poll, but that isn’t deterring the team’s confidence. “This is absolutely the year (to get back to the NCAAs),” senior midfielder/forward Chelsea Hatcher said. “We’re coming for it.” The team already has two road wins against Big 12 opponents Kansas and Oklahoma from last weekend, and hosts the First Tennessee Classic Friday through Sunday where it will play against No. 15 UCLA and No. 18 Texas A&M. Hatcher is the most notable returner for Tennessee. The Cincinnati, Ohio native led the team with eight goals while also adding four assists as a First Team All-SEC selection in 2010. She started in all 20 matches. “She’s a force to be reckoned with,” Kelly said. “I wouldn’t want to be preparing to play against her. “Along with her teammates, there’s not a predictable attack. And I think that’s what’s going to allow us to be exciting to watch this year.” Hatcher recently became just the second Lady Vol in program history to be named a top-30 preseason finalist for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, given yearly to a student-athlete who performs well on and off the field. “I just want to win,” Hatcher said. “If I can contribute to the win by X amount of goals or X amount of assists, that’s great. But at the end of the day, I want to win the triple crown and get back to the NCAA Tournament.” Sophomore midfielder/forward Caroline Brown has already emerged as a vital contributor, scoring three goals in two games, matching her season total from last year. She was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week and a CollegeSoccer360.com Primetime Performer of the Week. The team welcomes 11 freshmen, including goalkeeper Julie Eckel, who will replace Molly Baird, a two-season starter for the Lady Vols before she graduated. Eckel currently holds one shutout and allowed one goal in two games. “It went really well,” Eckel said. “I was nervous about playing and stuff, but the team and staff and everyone was really supportive.”

Eckel may have been nervous about starting as a freshman, but Kelly has not been nervous about placing her in the goal so far. “I’ve always said, ‘If a freshman comes in and she’s one of the best 11, she’s going to play,’” Kelly said. “I think Julie Eckel is not only demonstrating that in training, but she’s demonstrating that in each of the three games so far.” Despite lofty goals, Kelly still intends to keep the squad grounded and focused. “Last weekend’s passed,” she said. “We took the experiences and we’re moving forward. We’re not concerned about tomorrow. We’re just concerned about doing everything today to make us better. “We’re certainly moving in the right direction.”

Caroline Brown scores on penalty kick; Lady Vols beat Kansas, 2-1By News Sentinel staff

Saturday, August 20, 2011

Caroline Brown's penalty kick in the 98th minute boosted Tennessee to a 2-1 victory in

overtime over Kansas in the soccer season-opener for both teams in Lawrence, Kan.

Kansas struck first on Jamie Fletcher's goal in the 14th minute but the Lady Vols drew

even thanks to a Kansas own goal in the 33rd minute.

After 90 minutes ended in a draw, the Lady Vols got the win in overtime. Kansas was

called for a foul, taking down Tennessee's Emily Dowd inside the 18-yard box. Brown

beat keeper Kat Liebetrau with a shot to the left side of the goal on the penalty kick.

Freshman Julie Eckel made six saves in goal for Tennessee, including one in overtime.

The Lady Vols fired 14 shots, and Kansas 15.

"It's always great to be on the winning end of an overtime PK,'' said UT coach Angela

Kelly, "but it's not a great way for another team to lose a game.

"We have to do a better job of taking advantage of our opportunities throughout the

course of the game. I thought for as early as it is in the year, we had some great

combinations.''

UT plays at Oklahoma on Sunday.

Tennis Signs Two: Tennessee has added two European recruits for the 2011-12 men's

tennis season.

Mikelis Libiietis from Latvia and Peter Nagovnak from Austria will help the Vols replace

a host of players who departed from the lineup.

They join two already announced freshmen, Brandon Fickey of Knoxville, and Hunter

Reese, who enrolled in January.

"Hunter and Brandon alone made us a top-five recruiting class,'' said coach Sam

Winterbotham. "That's how highly people thought of them and now we're adding two

guys we believe are as talented.''

Libietis has represented Latvia in a Davis Cup match against Greece.

Dowd, Shore Preparing for Final Act

Final Season

Aug. 10, 2011

BY BRIAN RICE For UTLadyVols.com

KNOXVILLE -- Emily Dowd and Emily Shore share more than just a first name.

As kids, they shared mini-van rides. They shared friends and teammates. They played on their first club team together, and they stuck together as they progressed through the club ranks as teenagers.

They even shared the same college choice - even if it wasn't the obvious one for two soccer players who grew up in Gainesville, Fla.

"They saw something special in Ange (Kelly), and something special in Tennessee," assistant coach Keeley Dowling said. "It's been an incredible journey for them. We've been fortunate to have them."

Now, a journey that began as 10 year olds and wound through an advanced club team in Countryside, Fla., and the IMG Academy, is almost over.

For Shore, the journey feels like it's lasted about as long as the trip to Dowd's house.

"We live five minutes down the road from each other," she said. "We had a lot of long trips in Mrs. Dowd's mini-van, and we have a lot of good memories. We have a lot of years of soccer and trips and travelling, and it's crazy that this is our last one."

Crazy is the way most people back in Gainesville view their decision to spurn the hometown Gators in favor of Tennessee, one of Florida's biggest soccer rivals.

"People were very upset," Dowd said. "We got a lot of comments about it and still do. Whenever I go home and wear Tennessee things, people are not nice."

The rivalry between the two programs is exactly what fans expect from a Tennessee-Florida series. The teams have combined to win 14 of 18 SEC regular season championships since conference play began in 1993. The programs rank No. 1 and No. 2 in all-time SEC wins, a stat that's even more impressive considering Tennessee didn't field a program until 1996. But Tennessee hadn't contributed much to those totals until Angela Kelly took over as head coach in 2000. In the fall of 2001, Kelly's second season at the helm, her Tennessee team snapped Florida's record 50-match SEC win streak - and notched the program's first victory against the Gators.

From there, UT won 7 of the next 11 meetings with one tie, a run that included three consecutive SEC championships and four straight SEC Eastern Division titles.

During the height of UT's dominance in the series, Dowd and Shore committed to Tennessee. - despite a a strong push from Florida and others.

Shore admits her allegiance to her hometown school was still present when she left home for Knoxville. That wasn't something that took long to shake once she actually donned the UT shade of orange.

"After the first fall I was definitely not a Gator fan anymore," she said. "I had to go home and have a garage sale to get rid of all of the old Gator gear."

But Shore and Dowd's parents had a little tougher time turning in their orange and blue for orange and white.

"My parents are big Gator fans," Shore said.

"Mine too," Dowd interjected.

"But they've been tolerant," Shore continued. "They've got both stickers on the car." "They're Lady Vol Soccer fans," Dowd said. "That's about it."

That exchange is typical of Dowd and Shore's relationship.

The two finish each other's sentences off the pitch as well as they finish each other's plays on it. And last season, it was a sparkling combination. Shore led the Lady Vols with five assists in 2010, while Dowd placed second on the squad with seven goals, one behind Chelsea Hatcher's team-high eight.

To hear Shore's version, it's all pretty simple: "I launch the ball up to Dowd, she runs by everybody and scores," she said.

"(Shore's) accuracy on the corners gives us a real advantage," Dowling said. "Her technical ability with the long ball is phenomenal for us."

More often than not, Dowd quickly finds her way to the ball - which often finds its way to the back of the net.

"She has developed a lot as a player in her time here at Tennessee," Dowling said. "With the speed that she has, she is going to be extremely dangerous going to the goal, whether it's Shore or someone else threading a pass or just using her speed to go by a defender."

Dowd and Shore understand plenty about speed. And for both, it's hard to believe their long run as teammates is almost over.

"It's crazy how fast it's gone," Dowd said following her final photo day as a Lady Vol last week. "We've been playing together since we were 10, and now we're playing our final year together. It's crazy to look back and now we're here.

"But it's exciting. I think it's going to be a really good year."

International Players Thrive in Tennessee's Soccer Program

Amy Harrison, Sanna Saarinen and Alison Clarke Discuss Coming to UT

Sept. 14, 2011

BY LESLIE SALOOM UTLadyVols.com

Soccer is the world's game, and some of that global influence can felt on Tennessee's campus.

Three Lady Vols - junior Amy Harrison, freshman Alison Clarke and sophomore Sanna Saarinen - bring significant international experience to Knoxville.

"These three young ladies are aspiring to play at the highest level," coach Angela Kelly said. "Their attitudes are fantastic. They show up ready to work every day, and as a coaching staff, that's all we can ask. They do everything they are asked to do off the field and academically, and they represent the Lady Vols soccer program with great pride and honor."

All three of UT's international players know something about pride and honor, having played for their respective national teams.

Harrison, a midfielder from Winnipeg, Manitoba and an SEC All-Freshman choice in 2009, was a two-year member of the Canadian Under-17 Women's World Cup squad. Clarke started 15 matches as a defender and earned a gold medal with Team Canada at the 2010 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship.

Midfielder Sanna Saarinen is a native of Espoo, Finland, and the first Finnish player for the Lady Vols soccer program. In 2009-10 she was a member of Finland's Under-19 Women's National Team.

All three played significant time internationally, but there's as much difference between playing for a national team and playing for Tennessee as you might think. And there's definitely more connection between teammates at the college level, even if the national bond isn't a shared one.

"I would probably say team wise, [at UT] we are always with these girls, so you get more of a collaboration of your team and understand better what everybody is going to do on the field," Harrison said. "Playing on your national team, we are not able to be with our teammates for long periods of time. We would come together for camps and games about every two months."

The drive, though, is the same.

"The stakes are high for international games but they are just as high here," Harrison said. "You are competing for something totally different."

Kelly understands both.

Before and after helping North Carolina win four NCAA titles as a player, Kelly spent nine years as a member of the Canadian national team. In 2004, she became one of 11 new inductees - and just the third woman - to The Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame.

"Certainly for any young lady that can represent their country, there is no greater honor," said Kelly, who was born in Scotland but grew up in Brantford, Ontario. "I have represented the country where two of them are from, so that's just a bond in itself. "

That understanding is something Saarinen noticed during the recruiting process.

"I know she knows what it's like to come to the U.S. as a foreign student-athlete and that's helped a lot," Saarinen said. "Fighting for international students to come here takes a lot of work so she definitely made it worth it."

Moving to a different country usually requires an acclimation period but fortunately being an international student-athlete comes with something of a built in family.

"We have been to so many places that it really wasn't too hard to be culturally adjusted here," Harrison said. "The team just brought us right in. Many teammates have families that come all the time so they take us under their wings."

The cultural differences - and the colloquialisms - are a bit of a two-way street, Clarke said.

"Adjusting to the southern culture and language is different," she said. "They make fun of us for what we say, but we think what they say is weird."

Even having people say anything can be odd. For Saarinen, the friendliness of southerners took a little adjustment.

"People are also so friendly and social here. Someone you don't even know might come right up to talk to you," Saarinen said. "I am not used to that. In Finland, they just sort of keep to themselves."

And when it comes to the team, which is off to a 6-1 start, there's no such thing as keeping to oneself. Kelly makes sure that her players embrace the team culture.

"The understanding of the game and language is there," Kelly said. "The culture of the team is very accommodating, and we really encourage that so it is an easy transition."

Chelsea Hatcher, Lady Vols ready for soccer season By Mike Strange

Originally published 09:37 p.m., August 10, 2011 Updated 10:35 a.m., August 11, 2011

The Hatchers of Cincinnati are a family for all sports seasons.

On the rare occasions parents and kids are all seated at the dinner table, the

conversation could go a number of directions.

Chelsea, a forward for Tennessee's soccer team, might mention she is a first-team All-

SEC honoree. Her senior season begins Friday in an exhibition match at Samford.

Older brother Derek might steer the talk to football. He played on Richmond's 2008

Division I-AA national championship team.

Dad, Billy, would be preoccupied with the National League standings. He's the first-

base coach for the Cincinnati Reds.

Mom, Karen, might drop a few memories from her days running track and cross

country at Ohio University.

While Billy's season with the Reds is winding to conclusion, Chelsea's work is just

beginning.

She's the leading scorer for a Lady Vols team that wants to return to the NCAA

tournament for the first time since 2008.

"I want to win,'' she said Wednesday. "For the past (two) years we've had the talent

and we haven't produced. We've produced, but maybe not at the right times.''

Hatcher vividly recalls the first time she was asked to produce under pressure — the

2008 SEC tournament semifinals when the Lady Vols and LSU went to penalty kicks to

break a 1-1 deadlock.

Coach Angela Kelly asked for a show of hands as to which five players wanted to take

the PKs.

"I stared at the ground,'' Hatcher said with a laugh. "I didn't want to tell her I was scared

but I was.''

Kelly wasn't buying. She told her freshman she was not only going to take a shot, but

was going to make it and Tennessee was going to win.

"I thought let's just get the elephant out of the room,'' Kelly said Wednesday. " 'You're

going to be a tremendous player here and you can't shy away from responsibility.' ''

Kelly was prophetic. Hatcher took the final kick and made it to clinch the victory that

sent UT on to the title game, which it also won.

Her offensive load has increased annually. As a junior, she scored eight goals, tying for

fourth in the league, while launching an SEC-high 105 shots.

"Over the course of her career,'' Kelly said, "she's decided in certain games that she's

just going to take it over.

"And through her athleticism, and ability to strike the ball and her presence, she's been

able to do that.''

Her dad could strike a different kind of ball. Billy rapped out 1,146 hits for seven

different teams.

His greatest claim to fame was probably the 1990 World Series, when he hit .750 for

the Reds in a four-game sweep of Oakland to break Babe Ruth's World Series record

for batting average.

Chelsea grew up in Cincinnati, Florida, then back to Cincinnati. She was 7 when Billy

retired.

"I was happy when he retired because he was going to be home a lot more,'' Chelsea

said. "Then he started coaching so he really wasn't home a lot more.''

Does he know his soccer?

"He likes to think he does,'' Chelsea said. "He knows sports. He's all about competing.''

It runs in the family.

Fenton’s Bailey thriving at TennesseeBy David TroppensPublished: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 10:37 AM EDT

[email protected]; 810-433-6789 Summer can be pretty short when you are a student-athlete. It’s the middle of July and the temperatures in Knoxville, Tenn. reached the mid-90s. Yet, Tori Bailey is already back at school. But when you play for a Division 1 women’s soccer program located in Southeastern Conference country, you can expect to be pretty busy. “The classes are pretty easy, but the one thing I have trouble is with time management,” said the Fenton graduate and ex-two-time Tri-County Female Soccer Player of the Year. “It’s a big leap from high school.” Beyond that, Bailey isn’t complaining at all. In all respects, the 4-foot-11 soccer standout had an outstanding freshman season at The University of Tennessee. “It’s been amazing,” Bailey said as she walked out of one of her Monday classes. “It’s been everything I expected and hoped for. I saw some field time, which was nice as a freshman. For the most part everything went well.” It looks like it went well. Bailey began her career making an immediate impact. She played in 19 of the Lady Volunteers’ 20 games, starting in nine of them. She spent 689 minutes on the pitch, and in the process got some key stats pretty quickly. In the season’s first game, she assisted on the year’s first goal, just 3:33 into the contest. She worked the ball in the midfield, sent it to teammate Chelsea Hatcher, who scored. And then, in only her second game, Bailey had her first goal, although she admits it was a bit flukish. “It was my only goal,” Bailey said. “I was happy. It was one of those things. I was dribbling to cross or pass it. I was by the 18, put my head up and took the shot. It hit the crossbar, came back and hit the goalie’s head and went in. It was kind of a flukish goal.” No matter, it tied the game, and the Vols ended up winning 2-1 against Richmond.
