Tennessee volleyball just had a week that built more momentum for the program. The Lady Vols defeated then-No. 4 Kentucky on Wednesday, Oct. 21, with a reverse sweep to capture their first top-five win in 21 years, when Rob Patrick’s team defeated No. 4 Florida 3-2. Then on Sunday, they defeated then-No. 22 Vanderbilt in four sets to extend their win streak to seven.

With the strong week, Tennessee moved up to No. 6 in this week’s AVCA/Taraflex Division I Women’s Volleyball Poll. This is the highest ranking for the program since the Lady Vols finished No. 6 in the 2005 season. Tennessee has been on the rise all season and is now 16-3 overall and 7-2 in the Southeastern Conference.

Chelsea Sutton was also named SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.…
