- The Lady Vols had a strong and successful fall season bringing home 19 medals from three regattas, the Chattanooga Head Race, the Secret City Head Race and the Head of the Hooch.

Although no times were recorded, the Lady Vols had a strong showing against the Knights and the Wolverines in 2014, winning 14 out of 15 pieces in fours during the exhibition workout.
- To close out the 2013-14 season, the Big Orange was narrowly edged by Oklahoma at the Conference USA Championship. Tennessee's second varsity eight brought home the gold medal in the grand final.
