"We've had a good season with a strong finish," Shelby said. "As we enter the district tournament, I'm very proud of these ladies for putting in the hard work and trusting the process. We are looking forward to the tournament because we feel we have a great shot at winning it."

Shelby explained that Cozart and Hodge "have been two players who have really carried us this year."

Cozart, a two-time all-conference and all-region pick, "can really fill up the stat lines with her scoring, rebounding, and assists. Her leadership qualities have really flourished as a sophomore."

Hodge provides a strong presence on the inside for the Lady Vols. "Without her, our team wouldn't be where we are at now," Shelby said. "She can be an unstoppable force on the inside with her rebounding, scoring, and defense."
