Time Is Running Out for Tennessee Softball to Respond to Another Wake-up Call
Kyra Aycock and Emilee Boyer held Tennessee to four hits as Ole Miss advanced to face Texas after the upset.
- On Wednesday, the Tennessee Lady Vols fell 4-1 to Ole Miss in the SEC Tournament second round at John Cropp Stadium in Lexington, Kentucky, ending their postseason hopes with an early exit.
- Tennessee's offense managed only one run on four hits while going 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position, leaving the Rebels' pitching staff nearly untouchable.
- "Everything that adds up to a loss was there," Tennessee coach Karen Weekly said, citing missed scoring opportunities and defensive lapses that allowed the Rebels to capitalize.
- The Lady Vols await the 64-team NCAA Tournament field reveal on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2, hoping to secure a top-eight seed despite the early SEC Tournament exit.
- An early SEC Tournament exit does not guarantee postseason failure; Tennessee lost its tournament opener 6-1 last year before reaching the Women's College World Series semifinals.
