Kellie Harper’s first team on Rocky Top had a lot to deal with. Not only were the Tennessee Lady Vols breaking her in as a new head coach, but they were also dealing with the transfer of their best player from last year, Evina Westbrook, and the loss of two other starters, Meme Jackson and Cheridene Green. Then Zaay Green suffered a season-ending injury two games into the year.
As a result, this team had to rely on four new starters all season, a new system, and the loss of five rotational players overall when you count the departure of Mimi Collins.
