‘Dores taking 10: The relatively short bus ride allows Vanderbilt to travel 10 members of its roster. They are seniors Amanda Fry, Robyn Renslow and Tori Ferris, juniors Giselle Poss, Nicole Powell and Olivia Wirtz, sophomores Katie Stark and Kendyll Dellinger and freshmen Jordan Newham and Chris Quah.
Strong fall results: The Commodores are 40-15 after one of the best fall campaigns in the country with one championship, two second place finishes and a fourth.
Last year in Jonesboro: It was one of the team’s roughest patches of the season, placing sixth with a subpar 4-7 record. Robyn Renslow was seventh to lead the Vandy contingent.
