I've gone through all the data I could get my hands on and compiled a list of the changes to the Tennessee Lady Vols volleyball record book after the matches from this season. Many players on the team made some outstanding individual achievements this year. Congratulations to the following players for breaking into the record book this season: Jena Berg, Mindy Flynn, Nikki Fowler, Chloe Goldman, Leah Hinkey, Kylie Marshall, Farren Powe, and Yuliya Stoyanova. For the complete list, read on.

Players from the 2007 squad are listed in bold (whether they broke the record this season or not). I do not have access to the full official Tennessee record book so this list may not be all of the records set. My apologies to anyone left out.
