We’re still on the tail-end of this athletic year, and one Tennessee Vols team is generating all the excitement at this point.

In fact, they’ve generated enough excitement to take news away from football.

As we get set to bring you today’s news on Rocky Top, softball is the dominant story for right now. And that could continue happening during the future.

Of course, there’s still recruiting news to get to. And Josh Dobbs made headlines once again.

But we start with the exciting softball news.

With only one senior in the starting lineup and a freshman and sophomore leading the pitching staff, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Tennessee Vols softball program. But instead, they’re heading to the super regionals for the fifth time in six years.

"The Volunteers (47-10) went undefeated in an NCAA Regional for the eighth time in program history with today’s win over the Lancers. In six of the seven previous occasions, UT went on to advance to the Women’s College World Series."
