Get this. Xavier outshot Tennessee 41-11 in the first round of the NCAA tournament, yet when the final whistle blew after double overtime, the Volunteers moved on with a 1-0 victory. That bizarre result was down to the immense game Ally Zazzara had in goal, where she made 15 saves, some that were video game-worthy as the total more than doubled her previous career high of seven. Survive and advance is the target, and with the Sophomore playing this well, anything is possible for 13-seeded Tennessee.
