Softbal Lady Vols Finally Lose After Abbott Takes Opener
The Chattanoogan, TN - Mar 10, 2007
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - No. 1 Tennessee's (23-1, 1-1 SEC) 23-game winning streak came to an end at Florida Softball Stadium on Saturday afternoon as the No. 19 Florida Gators (19-9, 1-1 SEC) downed the Lady Vols, 4-0. UT's Megan Rhodes (6-1) picked up her first defeat of the campaign after allowing six hits, four runs and three earned runs, while striking out six in 6.0 innings of work.

The loss came after Monica Abbott won a 1-0, 10-inning thriller in the opener of a doubleheader.

The Big Orange totaled four hits in the day's second match-up against UF with junior catcher Shannon Doepking, freshman designated player Alexia Clay, junior first baseman Tonya Callahan and sophomore shortstop Liane Horiuchi all registering a single as Tennessee stranded six runners on the base paths.

Well, the winning streak is over, but the Lady Vols are still a real force in the SEC. I hear Bama's unbeaten in softball... should be exciting when those two teams finally lock horns. I'm betting one or the other will be conference champions.
