LAST WEEKEND

• Tennessee traveled to Big Ten country, picking up a pair of wins at Indiana (5-2) and No. 64 Ohio State (4-3) without senior Natalie Pluskota, who was slowed by a foot injury. UT’s top half of the lineup combined for a 6-0 record. • Tennessee led 5-0 against IU and 4-0 vs. OSU before the final scores.

New to the college game? All that matters is which team gets to four points first. In dual matches, teams first play a best-of-three doubles competition. Whichever team wins two of the three matches earns one point. Teams then play six singles matches, each worth one point. The team that takes four of the seven total available points wins the match. (Note: Doubles matches are eight-game pro sets. Singles matches are best-of-three sets.)
