The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profusion on “The Hill.”

GRADUATION RATE The Women’s Athletics Department at the University of Tennessee is fully committed to the academic progress of each student-athlete in the Lady Vol program. When coaches recruit, they look for talented athletes who will work as hard in the classroom as they do during competition. In fact, nearly all Lady Vol student-athletes who have remained with the program through their senior years have earned, or are in the process of earning, their degrees. In addition, 620 Lady Vols have been awarded a sum of 1,211 Academic All-Southeastern Conference citations after 47 student-athletes joined the ranks in 2007-08.

SPORTSMANSHIP Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredient for wholesome athletic competition. The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans, students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors.
