Lost starting catcher Ally Shipman to a broken wrist and torn ACL on a fluke play at first base after a hit of all things, lol. That lose has really shuffled the defensive lineup and had 2 or 3 people try at catcher and have settled with 2 freshman at the time. Also Katilin Parsons wasn't even sniffing the field in Feb who has developed into another decent slapper for the Lady Vols. Also OF/1B Haley Bearden has gained some confidence and has matched her Fresh-Jr year numbers in just her SR year alone.

The UT pitching staff does tend to give up the HR more then usual. Freshman Ashley Rogers has turned into the ace of the staff, while Sr Matty Moss has turned into the relief ace, but did get a big start and pitched well down in Ole Miss this past Sunday.

Based on my luck and history with both programs, VT will be sent to Ktown without a doubt, lol. If they are not, I'll be shocked. If it isn't Knoxville, I'm betting another SEC school as they won't want to send them to JMU and possibly UGA since both would be rematches, though that component of trying to avoid that is difficult with softball.
