The Tennessee Lady Vols softball team failed to place a member on the first-team All-SEC team for the first time since 2002.
That was the first year UT co-head coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly took over the program.
Junior Tiffany Huff remains an All-American candidate with a .421 batting average and team-high 65 RBIs.
But Huff, also a strong defensive catcher, was only a second team All-SEC selection, she batted .333 in 25 SEC games with one home run and 13 RBIs.
The Lady Vols were also shutout of making the 10-member SEC All-Defensive team.
UT freshman pitcher Cat Hosfield made the 13-member All-SEC freshman team, as did third baseman/relief pitcher Jessica Spigner.
Spigner has a UT-freshman record 14 home runs, but she hasn't hit one in 16 games, dating back to an April 5 game at LSU.
Senior Lillian Hammond was named SEC softball's Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Congratulations to the Lady Vols. It's really hard to think that Huff isn't first team. I am also amazed that Spigner or Hosfield were the Freshman of the Year. Keep up the hard work and made those who didn't vote for you pay in the SEC tournament. Go Lady Vols.

Huff's snuff was more than likely due to her dropoff in performance in SEC play. Go Lady Vols!!!
