TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The Tennessee volleyball team won its first road SEC match of the season, defeating Alabama 3-0 (25-15, 25-22, 25-23) on Friday at Foster Auditorium.

Senior Raina Hembry led the Vols (14-8, 4-5 SEC) with 12 kills, adding three digs and four blocks. Freshman setter Sedona Hansen had a double-double with 33 assists and 14 digs.

Tennessee controlled the net with a season-high 13.5 team blocks, compared to 3 for Alabama (15-8, 4-6). Freshman Alyssa Andreno tied her career best with eight blocks to lead the team.

"I was very proud of the way we came out and competed, and the energy the team brought to the court," Tennessee head coach Rob Patrick said. "I was also very proud with how we played an attacked Alabama at the service line and at the net with our blocking with 13-and-a-half blocks. That made the difference in the match."

The Vols finish the weekend with a home match Sunday against Auburn at 1:30 p.m. Doors open at Thompson-Boling Arena at 12:30 p.m.
