The Tennessee Lady Vols are always good in softball.
This year they’re champions.
Tennessee won its first Southeastern Conference regular-season title since 2007 on Saturday afternoon with a 4-2 downing of South Carolina before a crowd of 1,974 at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium. The No. 4 Lady Vols improved to 41-7 overall and to 19-4 in SEC play heading into Sunday afternoon’s series finale.
“I can’t even describe it,” Lady Vols coach Karen Weekly told reporters afterward. “I’m just so happy for them. They’ve worked so hard. They battled through ups and downs.
“This game was a game of ups and downs. It looked like we might not get back up off the mat, but they did and just came out punching. I am so happy for them.”
