A national-championship season is a marathon. Over the course of 37 games everyone must contribute at some point.

Everyone on this Tennessee team had at least one shining moment and most had a bunch of them.

Here's a look back over the season, singling out some critical junctures when various Lady Vols stood and delivered.

Candace Parker

With 23 double-doubles, how do you single out one shining moment for the Wade Trophy winner? Maybe by considering the opponent. Parker was at the top of her game on Jan. 6 when the Lady Vols stopped previously unbeaten Connecticut 70-64 before 16,294 in Hartford. She put up 30 points and 12 rebounds and become the first player ever to dunk against the Huskies. "It's kind of like when we had Diana (Taurasi),"' said UConn coach Geno Auriemma. "What's the answer?'"

Nicky Anosike

What a Final Four! Cleveland was no place for finesse and Anosike was the Lady Vols' blue-collar heroine. She dominated the paint in the championship win over Rutgers with 16 rebounds. Consider her box score against North Carolina in the semis: 14 points, seven rebounds, five steals, four blocked shots, three assists. She was also clutch at the free-throw line, going 8-for-12.

Alexis Hornbuckle

With a year still to play, Hornbuckle is already in elite company, joining Chamique Holdsclaw and Tamika Catchings as the only Lady Vols with 800 points, 450 rebounds, 300 assists, 225 steals and 45 blocks. Ironically, two of her best games in 2006-07 were in defeat. She matched a career-high with 19 points in a 74-70 loss to Duke, then went off for 29 points in the SEC-tourney loss to LSU.

Sidney Spencer

A trip to No. 15-Vanderbilt on Jan. 25 was going to be a gut-check following the loss to Duke. "We knew our character was going to be determined this week," said Spencer. She showed her character with a career-high 26 points in a hard-fought 67-57 victory. Spencer was 8-of-13 shooting, including 4-of-6 from 3-point range.

Shannon Bobbitt

Rutgers couldn't believe the littlest Lady Vol stuck the dagger in the title game. In one critical second-half sequence, Bobbitt hit a pair of 3-point shots and forced a turnover that Hornbuckle converted. No one took more advantage of defenses collapsing on Parker in the tournament than Bobbitt. In UT's six NCAA tournament wins she was 15-of-31 beyond the 3-point arc.

Alberta Auguste

The junior-college transfer played the game of her career when it mattered most, in the banner-clinching victory over Rutgers. Auguste burned Rutgers with 10 points and five rebounds. She scored eight points in a stellar first-half segment to help the Lady Vols overcome a stagnant offense and creep out to a 29-18 halftime lead.

Alex Fuller

The sophomore had to be helped off the court on Jan. 18 after a 73-44 win over Mississippi State, but for good reason. With Parker under the weather, Fuller got her only start and played a career-high 36 minutes. She contributed 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three steals.

Dominique Redding

The senior forward had plenty of longer stretches on the court but none so effective as the eight minutes she played at LSU on Feb. 19. With Spencer struggling, Redding came off the bench blazing, with three big baskets, two of them treys. Redding's eight points helped nip an LSU rally and allowed the Lady Vols to clinch the SEC regular-season title with a 56-51 win.

Cait McMahan

When Bobbitt had to stay home to take an exam, McMahan made her first and only start at Louisiana Tech on Nov. 28. The Lady Vols cruised, 71-50 with McMahan playing 24 minutes, scoring seven points on 3-of-6 shooting. She recorded four rebounds, three assists and zero turnovers.
