Tennessee women's tennis head coach Alison Ojeda reached a career milestone for her career. She recorded her 200th career head coaching win after the sixth-ranked Lady Vols (12-3) defeated No. 25 Alabama (9-7), 4-0, at Barksdale Stadium.
"To win 200 matches here as a coach is exciting and also an honor," Ojeda said. "I have been lucky to coach so many wonderful young women, all who chose to give their all for Tennessee. Thank you so much to each LVFL. You all are the ones who won these matches, not me."
The Lady Vols' win over Alabama also marked the 800th victory for Tennessee in program history.
"When I graduated from Tennessee, my dream was to come back here and coach one day," Ojeda said. "I got a UT flag and had everyone who played a part in my coaching career as a Lady Vol sign the flag. My vision was to be able to hang it one day in my office as a reminder of all the hard work that so many people put in every day to help us athletes do what we do! Today, 23 years later, I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to be sitting in Mike Patrick's office, working every day with the flag above my desk."
Ojeda has recorded 155 wins at Tennessee. She also served as a head coach at Middle Tennessee State from 2005-10 during her career.
