Thursday night was a busy night on Rocky Top as The #17 Lady Vols Volleyball team hosted the #25 UCLA Bruins at Food City Center and just a few minutes up the road at Regal Stadium the Lady Vols Soccer team had a big test as they hosted the #3 ranked UCLA Bruins. The college from Los Angeles came to Knoxville and took two unsatisfied results thanks to the Lady Vols.
Junior Hayden Kubik had a career night for the Lady Vols Volleyball team in defeating UCLA with a sweep 3-0. Kubik recorded her first career double-double with 12 kills and 13 digs. She had some help from Lady Vols Nina Cajic who had 14 kills, and Paityn Chapman who had 11 kills and 5 digs. This marks the 8th win over at top-25 opponents at home under the Eve Rackham Watt era. The Lady Vols next contest is on Friday at 5:30 PM as they host the reigning Northeast Conference Champions, the Long Island University Sharks.
Just down the road at Regal Stadium the Lady Vols Soccer team hosted the 3rd ranked Bruins from UCLA. Even though the Lady Vols couldn’t come with a win, neither did the #3 Bruins as UT and UCLA tie 0-0, extending Tennessee’s unbeaten streak to 5 games. The tip of the cap goes to Tennessee goalie Ally Zazzara who made several key saves to keep the game at a tie. This is just the second time this season #3 UCLA was held to a shut out. Tennessee returns to the pitch Sunday afternoon to host the Owls from Florida Atlantic at 1:00 PM.
