</title><link>http://govolsxtra.com/news/2008/may/11/sweet-16-for-tennis-vols/</link><description>It came down to a nail-biting finish Sunday. A near-capacity crowd at Goodfriend Indoor Tennis Center hung on every shot, glancing from one court to the other. 
Would, in fact, Tennessee's clinching point in a 4-0 NCAA tournament victory over Virginia Tech come from Kaden Hensel on the No. 1 court, or from Davey Sandgren on No. 4?
It was Sandgren who supplied the final stroke and sent UT (23-3) on to the round of 16 in Tulsa, Okla.

</title><link>http://govolsxtra.com/news/2008/may/10/williams-runs-ahead/</link><description> Patience is a required virtue for a sprinter. Its first cousin, perseverance, comes in handy, too.

You devote your existence to your sport, body and soul. Month upon month. And improvement, when it comes at all, comes in barely measurable increments.
