KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Despite Tamari Key's absence in the Lady Vols' lineup, Tennessee women's basketball recorded eight blocks and held Chattanooga to just 15 first-half points in Tuesday's victory at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Sophomore forward Karoline Striplin made her first career start in place of Key, and tallied seven points and three rebounds, as well as just her second-career three-pointer.
Jillian Hollingshead played a big role in the Lady Vols' victory. The sophomore returned from concussion protocol with a nine-point, five-rebound, two-block performance and played over 20 minutes.
Jordan Horston led the Tennessee scoring effort with 14 points in about 12-and-a-half minutes of action. Houston has scored in double-digits in eight of the nine games she's played this season.
The Lady Vols evened their record at 5-5 following the win, and Tennessee will be back hosting Wright State on Sunday, Dec. 11 at 2 p.m.
