The Tennessee Lady Volunteers
represent the University of Tennessee-Knoxville in women's intercollegiate athletics.
The Lady Volunteers name is derived from the state's nickname, the "Volunteer State," because of its history of many Tennessee citizens who volunteered to fight in the military. The 1902 UT football team was referred to as "Volunteers." The name was also applied to the women's teams when they formed in the 20th century. UT's lady varsity teams are often referred to as "Lady Vols."
