Using a full-court press, the Auburn Tigers overcame a 25-10 first-quarter deficit to dominate the Tennessee Lady Vols three straight quarters after that and win a blowout at home, 79-61.
Coming off of an elating win over the No. 6 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Holly Warlick’s team looked like it would pick right up where it left off early.
The Lady Vols jumped out to a 14-0 lead and looked red-hot. But Auburn regrouped. After their 25-10 first-quarter deficit, they outscored the Lady Vols 49-17 in the second and third quarters and took complete control.
With the loss, Tennessee fell to 11-7 on the year and 2-3 in the SEC, while Auburn improved to 14-5 and 4-1 in the conference.
