KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee women’s basketball team took some time out of its schedule this week to spread some holiday cheer. The Lady Vols participated in the Big Red Bow Project party at Shannondale Health Care Center in Knoxville.
The Lady Vols were guest volunteers along with staff from Alzheimer’s Tennessee and B97.5’s Jeff Jarnigan, who donned a purple Santa suit, as gifts were delivered to residents of Shannondale. The delivery was one of several conducted for individuals living in facilities in Knox, Blount, Anderson and Loudon counties Wednesday, Dec. 19 through Friday, Dec. 21.
Lexus of Knoxville collected suggested donations from an Alzheimer’s Tennessee “Wish List” for individuals touched by Alzheimer’s and dementia. From November through mid-December, the community responded in a big way. New, donated gifts like CDs/DVDs featuring older music/movies, blankets, scarves, books, craft items and more were dropped off at the dealership and put under the purple “Memory Tree.”
The Lady Vols helped hand out some of those gifts.
“It will warm all of our hearts in the most meaningful way to give the gift of joy to some of our most fragile loved ones,” Alzheimer’s Tennessee Executive Dir. Janice Wade-Whitehead said. “Nobody should have to face Alzheimer’s or dementia alone, especially during the holidays.”

Additional Notes
· The Feb. 13 match will mark just the fourth for the U.S. WNT in the state of Tennessee. The USA played two games against Sweden in Chattanooga in 1997 (one of them a closed-door contest) and faced Canada at LP Field (when it was named The Coliseum) on July 2, 2004, in one of the final matches before the 2004 Olympics in Greece.
· The USA has played Scotland in an official match just one time in its history. Scotland visited Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, in September 2002 in what turned out to be an 8-2 victory for the Americans.
· Abby Wambach scored her first career hat trick in that game in Columbus. The goals were just the second, third and fourth of her career. Mia Hamm also had a hat trick in that match, the last of eight that she had in her career.
· Wambach currently has 152 goals, just six short of tying Hamm for the most goals in the history of international soccer.
· Scotland barely missed out on a berth in the 2013 European Championships, coming seconds away from qualifying before giving up a goal in stoppage time of overtime to Spain in the second leg of a two-game playoff.
· The U.S. WNT finished 2012 with a record of 28-1-3 will finish the year at No. 1 in the FIFA Women’s World Rankings.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Austin Peay State University’s women’s basketball team shot over 50 percent from the floor for the first time this season, Friday night at the Dunn Center, in routing Lipscomb by 27 points, 69-42.
The Lady Govs (4-7) shot a respectable 40.6 percent from the floor in the first half (13-32) versus the Bisons, but it was the second half where Austin Peay pulled away; hitting a scorching 66.7 percent in making 16 of their 24 attempts from the floor over the final 20 minutes of play.
“I think we became more disciplined in running our sets and running them all the way through,” Austin Peay coach Carrie Daniels said. “In doing that we got the looks that we wanted.
“In the first half, I don’t think we were as focused on running our sets all the way through and we talked at halftime about getting the ball inside and playing inside out.”
While the Lady Govs were heating up offensively, they were also getting it done on the defense end, holding Lipscomb to 25 percent shooting in the second half and a season-best defensively 30.2 percent for the game.
“The intensity was a lot better all the way around,” Daniels said. “We knew they were going to shoot a lot of 3s, and deep 3s, so we had to get out there and contest their shots. Our communication was better and we were more of a unit out on the floor.”
Austin Peay never let Lipscomb get any closer than eight points, 37-29 with 16:52 left in the game, but the Lady Govs put the game away with a 15-4 run – pushing the lead to 19 points, 52-33, with 11:12 left.
“I really liked what they did out on the floor tonight, Daniels said. “Not that it was perfect, but I thought we got closer to more of what we have to do each game.”
Eleven players broke into the scoring column for Austin Peay, led by senior Leslie Martinez’s 12 points, while Meghan Bussabarger added 11 points and Nicole Olszewski 10 points.
Martinez also led Austin Peay with eight rebounds and five steals.
Lipscomb’s Hannah Phillips led all scorers with 17 points.
In the first half, Austin Peay trailed for only 18 seconds, with Lipscomb grabbed its only lead of the night, 20-19, after a pair of Mallory Charpentier free throws at the 6:05 mark to cap off a 7-0 run by the Bisons.
The Lady Govs regained the lead, 21-20, at the 5:47 mark thanks to a pair of free throws by Jennifer Nwokocha, which sparked an 11-0 run over the next three minutes to put Austin Peay up 30-20, with just under three minutes left in the first half.
“It’s always nice to go into Christmas with a win,” Daniels said. “I think it will make the holiday break a whole lot more pleasurable for everyone.”
Austin Peay will take a seven-day break for the Christmas holiday before returning to action on Saturday, Dec. 29 at 3 p.m. at Alabama A&M.

WACO, Texas — Third-ranked Baylor raced out to a 17-0 lead as the Bears ended Tennessee’s seven-game win streak, handing the No. 10 Lady Vols a 76-53 defeat on Tuesday night.
Baylor moved to 9-1 overall, as Brittney Griner tallied 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. Kimetria Hayden netted 16 points. Brooklyn Pope corralled a game-best 16 rebounds to go along with 11 points.
Tennessee (7-2) was led by Meighan Simmons, who scored 16 points. Kamiko Williams had a season-high 15 points, two off her career high of 17. Williams posted her first career double-double with a career-high 10 rebounds.
Tennessee played without 6-3 center Isabelle Harrison, who was sidelined with a sprained ankle.
The loss of 23 points equaled the eighth-largest in school history.
Baylor out-rebounded the Lady Vols, 54-47.
The Lady Vols missed their first 11 shots of the game before scoring for the first time, with 13:05 left in the first half, on a Cierra Burdick jumper to make it 17-2.
Tennessee tried to climb out of the early hole, but it proved to be too tall of a mountain.
UT cut the deficit to 12 at 21-9 and 23-11, but Baylor continued its sharp shooting in the first half and regained a 21-point lead at 32-11 on a 3-pointer by Hayden with 6:49 left in the first half. The run expanded to 13-0 to give Baylor a 36-11 lead with five minutes left in the half. Taber Spani ended the drought with a 3-pointer at the four-minute mark.
Tennessee trailed 41-16 at halftime. The 25-point deficit was the largest at halftime in school history. The previous largest margin was 20 against Rutgers in 2009, as the Lady Vols rallied from down 33-13 to win 55-51 on the road.
Both Griner and Hayden had 11 points at halftime.
The Lady Vols began the second half scoring eight of the first 12 points, as Simmons canned a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to 45-24.
Tennessee continued to battle and chip away, but the margin never got below 19 points in the second half. A Williams jumper made the score 70-50 with three minutes left. Nia Moore’s layup with 93 seconds left cut the score to 72-53.
The Lady Vols return home to host No. 1 Stanford on Saturday at 4 p.m. The game will air on SportsSouth, MyVLT and the Lady Vol Network.
