In the midst of a busy semester, it’s easy to take for granted the city we live in. But Knoxville and the University of Tennessee are more than just the home of the Volunteers. We live in a city rich in history, important people and local enterprise. On pages 4-8 we celebrate the books, bovines, buildings and businesses that keep Knoxville scruffy.

Parking problems continue, Sorority Village pushes for new legislation Hannah Marley Staff Writer

No one wants to see a little white slip on their windshield indicating they have received a visit from UT Police Department.

Yet, since Sorority Village was completed two years ago, many members of Greek life have had to face that every time they go to pick up the meals they are required to purchase from their individual sororities.

This is why earlier in the semester, SGA senators Hannah Simpson and Jennings Hardee crafted a bill that would allow members living outside their sorority house to park, pick up their meals and leave without the constant dread of having to pay yet another parking ticket for the required visit.

“Problems with parking. Surprise, right?”

Hardee joked. “Many girls received parking tickets for temporarily parking in the village spots, handicap spots or on the road during meeting and meal times when there was nowhere else for them to go. It was a problem that should have been resolved before the village opened.”

Now, as a result of their bill, two spots have

been designated by a sign as 15-minute loading zones behind each sorority house from 8 p.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, saving members from the financial burden of paying for an excessive amount of parking tickets.

Katherine Wein, sophomore in English and member of Sigma Kappa, said that her sorority sisters have experienced the constant ticketing before, saying that the lack of spaces has been an annoyance since the village opened.

“Quite a few of our people have been ticketed before,” Wein said. “Last year, people would always complain about it, because they would only be parked outside for 10 minutes and UTPD would have gone by and ticketed every single car. It’s been frustrating.”

Wein added that in her experience, UTPD has not waived tickets for sorority girls parked in these spots in the past.

Hardee said the loading zones have already been a relief to many of the sororities, but hopes that more parking will be available in the future to help alleviate the congestion that happens during meeting nights when parking is scarce.

“The parking problem still exists for outof-house girls during chapter meetings,” said Hardee. “But at least this is a step in the right direction.”

NPR correspondent claims science best heard bite-sized Heidi Hill

Copy Editor “Good stories are about people.”

Though NPR science correspondent Joe Palca did not break down the fundamental physics that knit a galaxy together, his lecture “Explaining the Universe in Two Minutes Or Less” focused on creating stories about science into understandable bites — pieces digestible for an audience with “the attention span of a gnat.”

“Ninety-nine percent of (the story) is what I have to leave out,” Palca said of his approach to his acclaimed two minute science stories on NPR. “Even after 23 years, every time I write something, I worry I didn’t capture it right.”

To demonstrate his task of prying critical information from complex research and concepts, Palca played sound bites from four pieces of science journalism, highlighting features on the Kepler Space Telescope, synthetic cells, potential evidence for life on Mars and a dizzying construct of time known as the “leap second.”

“If they don’t understand what you’re doing, they won’t want to give you money, so you can’t keep working.

So you have to let people know what you’re doing.”

-Ben Moore Palca also noted the nature of science journalism as problematic for a traditional news format, and argued that only a journalist’s understanding of the subject at hand is needed when drafting and telling these succinct stories.

“If I understand it, I can communicate it,” Palca said. “I’m trying to lighten the load on the scientist. Why not let me come up with the tricks of explaining it while they continue their work? I know they are generally considered bad communicators, but all I ask from scientists is that they talk because (science writers) spend our lives thinking of good ways to explain stuff.

The only critical thing is that we understand it, so that we don’t screw it up when we explain it.”

This fissure of communication between the public and science community is one aspect that Ben Moore, graduate student in energy science and engineering and lecture attendee, knows all too well.

“I used to work in organic chemistry, and that’s a field riddled with jargon, so people just don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Moore said. “And even day to day, just trying to explain what I’m doing, even to my girlfriend, is difficult because you’re using words most people have never heard of.”

As an employee under the Department of Energy, Moore said science communication is important to keep the public informed of scientific endeavors for continual funding.

“It’s the public that’s paying for you to have the job,” Moore said. “If they don’t understand what you’re doing, they won’t want to give you money, so you can’t keep working. So you have to let people know what you’re doing.”

For Kevin Brown, senior in public relations, Palca’s succinct storytelling framed a more efficient way of writing that he plans to incorporate into his professional life.

“I really ended up enjoying (the lecture) because I grew up listening to NPR with my mom, so it was really funny because I didn’t make the connection to Joe Palca until I got here,” Brown said. “ I definitely learned a lot about what I should put into my own writing and what should I think is important and not important.”

For Palca, one of the most powerful stories emerged from an interview with the creator of “tumor paint,” a biological marker that can better detect brain tumors in children and assist surgeons in removing the malignant growths.

“He was so powerful in his description of his work and what he does and so moving in the way he describes his work with the parents,” Palca said. “It’s just heartbreaking and beautiful and it was about a person, but it feels like a little of a cheat because it’s a much more emotional topic than methane on Mars. But you know no one’s gonna cry at a methane on Mars story.”

While Palca’s short and sweet method when approaching science journalism has earned him national acclaim, he explained that he cannot inject powerful emotion into every story he reports on.

“If I were really good, I could take that same kick in the gut kind of reporting and talk about astronomy, but I don’t think you can,” Palca said. “I think you have to make it about people and what they do and their passions.

“It’s better than just talking about the science.”

Borderland Tees provides jobs for homeless Brittany Hawk Contributor

The idea for Borderland Tees was more than to start a custom T-shirt shop. It was to foster friendship and relationships through a boutique ministry.

Borderland Tees is a local custom T-shirt shop on Sevier Avenue founded by Bob Riehl and Reverend Jenny Arthur in 2008. The business makes custom T-shirts in bulk at cheap prices for churches, businesses, community groups and many clubs and organizations at UT by hiring individuals who are down on their luck, homeless or looking to turn a new leaf.

For Riehl and Arthur, this is more than a job — it is a ministry.

“We offer the opportunity to change,” Arthur explained. “It’s spiritual.”

Borderland Tees currently staffs all males and helps create networks for them to help themselves; however, both Riehl and Arthur spoke about creating a space for women too. Riehl explained that Borderland Tees has previously employed women, but they never stay for long because the pair said women, especially those with children, have more motivation to get back out there and seek full-time work.

The ministry part of this business is to provide an opportunity for networking and change in these men’s lives and put a spin on their perspectives to go out in the world and help themselves. Yet, for those needing a little more help, Riehl and Arthur assist those who need disability insurance or income apply and receive those benefits.

The owners described Borderland Tees as “capitalism for the common good” where the relationships built are intentional.

“We don’t treat everyone the same because everyone is not the same. Everyone is different and the needs that need to be met are different,” Riehl said. “We try not to plan as much because then we can’t react as much.”

The idea for this ministry came from a young

Borderland Tees offers jobs to those who, like Greg Akins, might not find employment elsewhere for various reasons.

Hannah Cather • The Daily Beacon homeless man living in the church that Arthur wanted to find a way to help. Riehl had already been working in custom made T-shirts for many years, and Arthur helped him get hired at Riehl’s job.

One small idea to help a single person has now grown into an entire ministry full of people, each with similar but unique stories.

Many of the “tacky T-shirts” as Riehl puts it, seen in places like Gatlinburg are orders

Borderland Tees have filled. Currently they are working on larger orders to send to Florida for vacation and spring break season. They also sell large orders to multiple Southeast gift shops.

All the T-shirts that are printed on are also American made.

Arthur and Riehl are both on board to continue to grow this mission. They are currently playing with the idea of creating a website to sell T-shirts for various local organizations that will

make specific T-shirts available to individuals.

A higher price would be charged for individual sale, and Arthur said the extra proceeds for shirts purchased online would be given to the outside organizations the T-shirts sell for.

Borderland Tees are $6 a shirt with a minimum purchase of 36 shirts. Smaller orders would put an individual charge of $10, and all you need is an idea and design and they will do the rest.

Firm breathes new life into old bricks Local company Design Innovation Architects works to preserve historic aspects of Knoxville architecure Hannah Moulton

Copy Editor @Hannah_Moulton

On the outside, the building that Design Innovation Architects Inc. resides in looks like you’ve stepped back in time.

The inside still retains the steel beams and brick walls from 1910.

And though some of the office space is modernized, it still has that historic charm. This is what DIA does — restore and renovate. DIA, a company that has been around since 1989, has done this to many buildings in the Downtown Knoxville area

“You always notice that there’s something special about the historic character of buildings.”

-Faris Eid

including the Phoenix Building, 29 Market Square and the Patrick Sullivan’s Building.

President of DIA and UT graduate, Faris Eid, said historic preservation is crucial to a city like Knoxville.

“You always notice that there’s something special about the historic character of buildings,” Eid said.

“Those are the ones that define what a city looks like.”Restoring the buildings has its challenges, Eid said, but no two buildings are alike in their restoration. Over the years, many of Knoxville’s historic buildings have been renovated. They’ve had pieces torn off, added on and built into them.

“So the magic is how do we restore while preserving the historical components,” Eid said.

Over the moon Knoxville in the pop culture spotlight for Cruze Farms Hannah Cather

Photo Editor (@hannahcather

The Cruze Farm cows get around — at least, their milk does.

It’s in grocery stores from downtown to Seymour to Oliver Springs. Coffee shops and restaurants regularly use and serve it.

Some of the dairy even makes its way to Chattanooga and Nashville. People from around the world want it in their kitchens.

“That was almost too much exposure,” said Colleen Cruze Bhatti, who insists her only title is “farm girl,” of the two stories The New York Times produced about their buttermilk. “We were like ‘Come to Knoxville, Tennessee.’ That’s the beauty of a small business: it’s local and you have to come here to get it.”

For the last 30 years, Earl Cruze and his family have been bottling and selling milk. He’s a fourth generation dairy farmer, which makes his youngest daughter, Colleen Cruze Bhatti — who returned to the farm after graduating from UT — the fifth.

“There’s something really nice about planting your roots and saying, ‘This is home,’” Colleen Cruze Bhatti said.

When Earl Cruze was 20 years old, he bought a little patch of farmland, and now, their 160 Jersey cows roam 550 acres of government-protected land. There’s a conservation easement on the farm, so it will never be developed. Which is a relief to Knoxvillians.

“I think Cruze Farm is kind of an institution here in Knoxville,” Andy Vinson, UT alum and longtime Knoxvillian, said.

“The city really prides itself on being able to bring slices of Southern culture to the masses. Farming has been a staple of Southern culture since America was founded, and I think traditions of being able to drink local milk has both a nostalgic as well as health draw.”

Every morning, Colleen Cruze Bhatti leaves her old, white farmhouse and travels five minutes to the family dairy where she milks half the cows. The other half are still heifers, cows that have not given birth and therefore aren’t producing milk yet.

Jersey cows are smaller than Holsteins, the cows used for commercial milk production, producing on average two to three

gallons a day. For the Cruzes, the lesser quantity isn’t a compromise because the milk is creamier.

“A lot of people like our milk, and they don’t know why,” Colleen Cruze Bhatti said. “It’s because there’s more fat in it, which is okay because all the studies have come out saying good fat is good for you.”

The milk fat content of Holsteins is 3.7 percent while the Jersey cows’ milk is 4.9 percent, according to a study done by North Dakota University. The Cruzes take some of their high-fat milk, add a culture, pasteurize and bottle buttermilk.

Buttermilk is a staple in Southern foods like fried chicken and biscuits. Chef Jeffrey DeAlejandro, of OliBea and The Crown & Goose, has used Cruze Farm dairy since each restaurant opened. While developing a biscuit recipe for OliBea, he noticed “such a huge difference in flavor and texture” when using the Cruze Farm buttermilk.

Despite the price difference between it and a commercial product, DeAlejandro insists there’s no other option.

“Even with the added expense, we know that the money is going to a really awesome family with a commitment to the stewardship of the land,” DeAlejandro said.

Another Cruze commitment: their ice cream.

They make the classics like vanilla, chocolate and cookies ‘n’ crème, but they’re not afraid to experiment. Their newest flavor “Tennessee Snappin’ Turtle” is a vanilla base with pecans, chocolate, caramel and a splash of Jack Daniels “to make it snappin’,” Colleen Cruze Bhatti said. One summer, a Japanese intern worked on the farm, and she made vegetable flavors like carrot and kale.

“It was good,” Colleen said of the kale flavor. “But it wasn’t something you were craving. Normally, you crave chocolate.”

UT graduate, Mary Ellen Knight, craves the cardamom flavors as well as chocolate.

While Knight thinks of highly of the dairy, she considers the greatest asset of Cruze Farms “how personal they are.”

“Colleen is a loyal friend and truly a stakeholder in the Knoxville community,” Knight said. “Not only will she remember your favorite flavor, but she’ll ask about your family, your life and actually care about it.”

Whether it is their birthplace, pit stop or final destination, Knoxville has inspired artists of all kinds through decades of work.

From author Cormac McCarthy to director

Quentin Tarantino, these artists have made nods to Knoxville and the things here that inspired them most.

1505 HIGHLAND AVENUE

Though it is no longer standing, there was once a two-story house surrounded by trees and a well-watered lawn at this address in Fort Sanders. It was the childhood home of famous 20th century author James Agee and served as the setting in his short essay “Knoxville: Summer in 1915.” It describes his father watering the lawn and his family spending time together in the Southern summer evening.

For Agee,“it is a nostalgic for a simpler time,” English professor Bill Hardwig said.

“He placed it one year before his father passed away, so it’s capturing childhood innocence for him.”

Though an apartment complex now stands in its place, a plaque stands as a reminder of what the space once was.

KNOXVILLE Quentin Tarantino, a native Knoxvillian, is an award winning screenwriter and director, first making a name for himself in Hollywood in the 1990s. In his films, he often pays tribute to his hometown, specifically in his 1994 film,“Pulp Fiction.” Butch, played by Bruce Willis, is supposed to meet his contact in Knoxville, which is also where his grandfather bought a gold watch to trade. This nod is not uncommon for Tarantino, who has set films in Tennessee and written characters from his home state as well.

“UNIVERSITY ON A HILL” In Cormac McCarthy’s novel “Suttree,” this is the only mention of the University of Tennessee (which he attended two different times but never graduated), despite his first published piece being in UT’s literary magazine “The Phoenix.” McCarthy had a complicated relationship with the college and academia in general, Hardwig said. “‘Suttree’ takes place all over UT, but it’s almost completely absent,” Hardwig said.“Everywhere around here, from the river to downtown to Fort Sanders, are mentioned in very specific detail but very little about the campus.”

Instead, McCarthy only refers to UT as “the university on a hill.”

THE SUNSPHERE Knoxville has also found a place in animation. In a 1996 episode of “The Simpsons,” Bart finds a brochure for The World’s Fair and decides to see it for himself.

He and a group of friends take a road trip to Knoxville, only to realize they missed the fair by 14 years and the Sunsphere is now a wig shop called WigSphere.

DESIGN INNOVATION continued from Page 5

One of the first things in the construction process is ridding the buildings of the unwanted, non-historical additions.

DIA also looks at archival photos of the buildings original design and tries to stay true to the original concept of the building, while still making it functional for modern day use. On occasion, DIA is able to reach out to the namesakes of a building and get floor plans.

The DIA team tries to save the majority of downtown Knoxville’s old historic buildings,by stabilizing and coming up with creative ways to keep the buildings standing.

“That’s a part of renovation ‌ how we stabilize these buildings,â€? Eid said. “And make sure to make sure that they’re going to last for another hundred years.â€?

When Regal Cinemas Riviera 8 was being planned for Gay Street, the original plan was to tear down the majority of the historic building on those blocks.

DIA stepped in and proposed a plan that would allow the majority of those buildings to stand while still bringing in the movie theater.

Not every building can be saved, however. Some are just too dilapidated and weak. On the restoration of the Patrick Sullivan’s Building, it was discovered that the two buildings around it were barely hanging on. One was barely standing with its weak wooden

beams and unreinforced concrete walls.

The other was standing with only three walls. These problems were discovered during the stripping of the buildings.

In the stripping process, Eid said there can be many things to be discovered. When DIA began restoration on their office building, they discovered two “almost pristine� brick vaults from a time where coal was used to heat buildings. “For some reason, those coal pits were never used,� Eid said. “There was no evidence of coal found in them.�

Parker Jenkins, sophomore in architecture and theatre, expressed that preserving a historic building should be considered during construction processes.

“I love the idea of renovating older, historic buildings because it brings older forms of architecture and design up to date while keeping the living space functional and relevant,� Jenkins said.

DIA doesn’t only restore historic buildings; it also broadens its clientele to new construction projects.

DIA has designed several projects for UT, including the Student Health Center.

Eid emphasized that none of the work could be done without DIA’s architects and other employees working to grow the company as well as Knoxville. “I couldn’t do all the work by myself,�

Eid said. “I’ve got a great team of architects, designers, production folks. “All of us feel ownership in the firm.�

What’s the difference between liberals and conservatives?

Alexandra Chiasson

Stained and Confused

After Texas senator Ted Cruz announced his intention to run for president on Monday, I was pleased with my Republican friends’ response to this news.

It’s not often that college-aged liberals and conservatives roll their eyes in unison, but that appeared to happen when that boob asked his Liberty University audience to imagine an America where “young people (come) out of school with four, five, six job offers.”

This was nice, this shared derisive response to Ted Cruz and his astounding senselessness. I like it when we all can agree on things.

But then I thought of all the times when we really can’t agree — the bad times when I consider deleting a few Facebook friends and the even worse times when delivering a sack of feces to someone’s door or slicing off my own nipple in protest seem to be the best options.

For example, I’m so sick of same-sex marriage talk.

At this point, people who oppose it are kind of wasting their time. It’s basically the Motorola flip phone of talking points. I was once voted “Most Likely to Champion for Divorce Equality,” and that’s pretty much where I currently stand on this issue.

But still there are some really important issues that come up, some really emotionally charged debates that actually make me angry.

Nothing gets my uterus in a wad faster than hearing a waiting-‘til-marriage Young Republican talk about saving unborn lives. And don’t get me started on Israel. I recently noticed a “Made in Israel” label on my generic brand Allegra bottle, and I’ve dreamt of Palestinian children and extreme congestion ever since.

These red hot buttons get everyone fired up, and sometimes it’s hard to figure out who are the sheep, the trolls or the sheep in troll’s clothing.

So why do I keep them around? Why be friends with conservatives?

Have you ever sniffed your own armpit, decided it was stinky and then sniffed it again with an insatiable

“Have you ever sniffed your own armpit, decided it was stinky and then sniffed it again with an insatiable and morbid curiosity? That’s why I have conservative friends. I like to keep sniffin’ ‘em long after I’ve become familiar with the smell.”

and morbid curiosity? That’s why I have conservative friends. I like to keep sniffin’ ‘em long after I’ve become familiar with the smell.

As if they were a stars and stripes-clad, unicycleriding clown holding a megaphone and rolling down the street, you really can’t look away.

And there’s another thing. I love my more conservative friends, even the most annoying, because I was once among them. The hypocrisy of ditching them at this point would make me feel just as guilty as my Made-in-Israel allergy medicine.

Real Reflections

One word. Senioritis.

I have it bad, so bad. My fellow seniors will understand what I mean. The Monday after spring break, I must have pressed the snooze button on my alarm about four times.

I told myself that I would go to the library and study. I ended up falling asleep in a chair, and I didn’t wake up until four hours later ... This is a true story, y’all.

It has started to get really hard to pay attention in class, and I’m beginning to avoid checking my emails altogether, and I just can’t find the motivation to study for my exams. I have a little more than a month

left of my senior year, and the senioritis is too real.

With this comes all the questions we all know too well. Are you going to work after graduation? Are you trying to get into internships? What about grad school? Have you taken the MCAT, the PCAT, the LSAT, the GRE??? The questions are never ending.

Can I just graduate first please?

It’s getting to that point in the semester where instead of scrolling through power points, I’m scrolling through dresses online trying to figure out what I’m going to wear for graduation.

Instead of listing the pathogens that I need to memorize for my microbial pathogenesis exam, I’m

Confession time: I was once a card-carrying member of the NRA, even though I’ve only shot a gun one time when my junior prom date gave me a lesson. His dad made us schnitzel after. It was nice.

And I’m still on the College Republicans email list — a remnant of my freshman days — despite repeated attempts to have myself removed with direct appeals to the past two presidents.

Also I voted for Gary Johnson in 2012. Whatever.

And really, what are the real differences between liberals and conservatives anyway? Besides flameresistant bras, fat pockets and a little extra racism on the side?

When you spend as much time on Facebook as I do and an old friend’s ex boyfriend (why hasn’t he been deleted yet?) posts about the Antichristic Obama and you think it’s ClickHole at first and you like it without proper consideration: well, that’s how you know it’s true — life imitates art.

It’s also how you know that we are all the same: parodies of ourselves, obsessive and egotistical and opinionated, at times an insult to any notion of true human progress and guilty of being susceptible to mind-numbing propaganda — or else ruthlessly dedicated to an assertive sort of apathy, perhaps the most obnoxious quality of all.

A friend of mine — a conservative friend, no less — once told me that we hate those who embody qualities we fear we may ourselves possess. When I see the pro-lifers on campus with their massive mangled fetus photos or hear someone say “guns don’t kill people, people kill people,” I can’t help but wonder if I’m just as annoying when I’m all like “we should probably do something about global climate change.”

No, this is not necessarily a call for bipartisanship or reaching across the aisle or anything like that, I’m just trying to tell it like it is.

Truthfully, we are all sheep, though some of us wear troll’s clothing, and we all suffer from hating each other.

Vote Hillary in 2016!

Notebook: Gaffin returns to mound in Lady Vols victory Shane Switzer Contributor

As the game turned: After going down early to Tennessee Tech ,the Lady Vols fought back and had the lead going into the second inning.

Freshman Meghan Gregg got the scoring started for the Lady Vols in the bottom of the first with a double off the wall. Later in the inning, sophomore Annie Aldrete hit a threerun home run to give Tennessee a 4-1 lead going into the second.

Aldrete has now hit three home runs in the last two games. Co-head coach Karen Weekly opined that Aldrete’s success comes from her hard work and drive to be successful.

“I’m really working a lot with Karen just tryin to stay short because my hands get really long and I get excited,” Aldrete said. “I’ve just been working on hitting line drives and if it goes out it goes out. I’m not trying to do anything special, nothing big, it’s actually worse if I try to hit home runs.”

Lady Vols surge past Golden Eagles Trenton Duffer

Staff Writer (@trenton_duffer) An early surge of power by the Lady Vols proved game-changing in the team’s Wednesday matchup against in-state opponent Tennessee Tech. The Lady Vols would go on to handle the Golden Eagles 6-1, marking Tennessee’s 19th straight victory against Tech.

Co-head coach Karen Weekly said after the game that playing against Tennessee Tech (1714, 4-3 OVC) is never a walk in the park.

“Their whole lineup worried me because they attack the ball,” Weekly said. “I thought

our pitches did a nice job. We didn’t get ahead in the count as much as I would have liked, and I don’t think we commanded the at-bats as well as we could have, but we got ourselves out of some tough situations.”

Tennessee Tech delivered the first blow after Angi Sakamoto scored on a passed-ball after her leadoff double to give the Golden Eagles the early 1-0 lead.

“Their (Tennessee Tech’s) leadoff hitter is fantastic,” Weekly said. “She’s one of the best hitters we’ve faced, and we’ve known that every year we’ve played them.”

In the bottom of the second, Tennessee expanded the lead when Gregg hit a triple to push sophomore Megan Geer across the plate. After a pitching change for Tech brought Taylor Ketchum into the game, her first pitch was a wild pitch that Gregg was able to score to give Tennessee a 6-1 lead.

Hot Topic: Volunteer pitchers fell behind in the count often during the game but only gave up a total of five hits and three walks. Starting pitcher Gretchen Aucoin pitched one and two thirds innings and gave up two hits one run and walked two while sticking out one batter.

She was replaced by senior Cheyanne Tarango who gave up two hits and one walk and one strike out. Tarango was credited with the win.

Junior Rainey Gaffin came on in relief and only gave up one hit no walks and sat down three batters. The outing was Gaffin’s first since March 17 against Western Kentucky.

SOFTBALL GAMER continued from Page 11 Then, it was all Lady Vols. After an early Meghan Gregg RBI double, Annie Aldrete would crush a three-run shot off the scoreboard to give the Lady Vols a 4-1 lead.

Tennessee (23-7, 3-3 SEC) wasn’t done there. Gregg continued showing off her hot bat by bringing Megan Geer home on an RBI-triple. Another run in the bottom of the second and strong pitching from Rainey Gaffin, Cheyanne Tarango, and Gretchen Aucoin helped pave the way to a Lady Vols’ victory.

Aldrete was excited about the opportunity to catch for Gaffin, who made her first appearance on the mound since March 17.

“She came out so ready. She was attacking hitters, and her drop-ball was so nasty,” Aldrete said. “I love catching her. I get so excited, and I love seeing hitters go up there and struggle.”

After picking up two wins during the week, the Lady Vols turn their attention to a familiar foe: SEC East rival, and No. 7 ranked,

Georgia. This will be the first time since 2013 that the Lady Vols have faced off against the Bulldogs. “(In) the midweek games, you want to try and work on things that you need to do to get better and to be ready for your SEC games,” Weekly said. “We’ve done some nice things offensively over the Missouri weekend and these past two games. I’d like to see our pitchers do a better job of commanding the zone and staying ahead of hitters.”

Tennessee will take on Georgia (29-5, 6-3 SEC) beginning on Saturday and running through Monday. First pitch for Saturday is scheduled for 3 p.m., while 7 p.m. is the starting time for the latter two games.

Aldrete, who has never faced Georgia, is ready to get a crack at one of the top dogs in the SEC. “I’ve heard nothing but good things about them,” Aldrete said.

“That’s the kind of team I wanna play. I wanna play the best…We need to come out with as much intensity, and more, and be on top.

We can’t let up at all. We need to go out there like it’s the last game.”
