BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Lady Vols will kick off their 2024 campaign on the road, taking on Indiana Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
UT played two exhibition games against Virginia and UNC Asheville.
The match will be streamed on Big Ten Plus. On the call will be Ian Plaskoff (PxP), Luke Brenneman (Analyst) and Sydney Parris on the sideline.
TRACKING THOMAS: Thomas, who enters her final season on Rocky Top, currently ranks second on Tennessee’s all-time goals list with 39 and sits just four back of Kylee Rossi’s program-best 43. The three-time All-SEC player and 2021 All-American appeared in just two matches last season before suffering a season-ending injury. During the 2022 season, Thomas scored 13 goals and posted the best goals-per-game average in the SEC at .68.
NEW FACES: Tennessee added 17 newcomers in its 2024 signing class. 10 newcomers are freshman as seven are transfers with collegiate experience.

PAST MEETINGS: Tennessee is 0-1-1 all-time against Indiana. Last season, the Big Orange posted a 2-2 draw against the Hoosiers. IU returns 21 players from the 2023 season as well.
