Lady Vols, local youth athletes to play for One Knoxville SC women's team
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — The new One Knoxville SC women's soccer team will take the field at Covenant Health Park for the first time on Saturday with a roster full of accomplished college athletes and young academy players from the area.
One Knox will play at least 12 matches over the next two months in the USL W League, a 'pre-professional' league featuring collegiate players, elite youth players, and former professionals. The league focuses on player development while maintaining the amateur status of players in order to protect collegiate eligibility.

The opening match will kick off Saturday, May 10 at 4 p.m. against Asheville City SC. Just like their professional male counterparts, all One Knoxville SC home matches will be played at Covenant Health Park, the $114-million multiuse stadium located just east of the Old City neighborhood.
A total of 23 players have been announced as part of the inaugural roster, including three active players from the University of Tennessee women's soccer team. Many members of the roster are Knoxville natives who now suit up across the college landscape as well as players from the team's youth academy.

'I am very sorry for my outburst in frustration last night and I recognize the hurt and disappointment it has caused,' Walter said in a statement released by the school. 'I have seen the videos and while I do not remember the specific moment clearly, that language doesn't reflect my values or the standards of this program. Regardless, I own the consequences and I apologize to the University of Tennessee, to Wake Forest University, and the SEC & ACC.'

Wake Forest baseball coach apologizes for apparent homophobic slur at NCAA regional vs. Tennessee
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Wake Forest and baseball coach Tom Walter apologized on Tuesday for what appeared to be a homophobic slur caught by television cameras during an NCAA regional game against Tennessee. 'I am very sorry for my outburst in frustration last night and I recognize the hurt and disappointment it has caused,' Walter said in a statement issued by the school. 'I own the consequences and I apologize to the University of Tennessee, to Wake Forest University, and the SEC & ACC.' Walter said he has watched the video and doesn't remember the specific moment but acknowledged 'that language doesn't reflect my values or the standards of this program.' Wake Forest athletic director John Currie said he was 'surprised and deeply disappointed' and said he spoke with Walter after the game and again Tuesday morning. 'I feel badly for those most hurt by such words,' Currie said. 'This incident … is completely out of character for him and does not meet the standards of Wake Forest Athletics, Wake Forest University or the Atlantic Coast Conference.' Tennessee beat Wake Forest 11-5 on Monday night to win the Knoxville Regional and earn a best-of-three super regional matchup with Arkansas for a chance to advance to the College World Series. An Atlantic Coast Conference spokeswoman did not immediate respond to an email seeking comment. ___ AP college sports:
