KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee softball hosted Lee on Friday night in the last fall action of the year against outside competition. The Lady Vols took a 14-1 win. The Lady Vols continued to see a great amount of hard hit balls. That is something that head coach Karen Weekly has made a point of emphasis throughout this period, and Friday was the best showing yet.

“I think we were above 50% tonight on hard hit balls, which is the best we’ve done in a game this fall,” Weekly said. “And I think they’re seeing all their hard work paying off. They’ve been working hard, but there’s some times we’ve had to kind of push the sense of urgency to make the adjustments. But they’ve responded.”

It was a great fall for the Lady Vols against outside competition. While the competition didn’t exactly give much resistance, maybe that is something Weekly and the program can figure out in the future to get more quality looks in the fall.…
