After being listed as questionable the day ahead of the Lady Vols' game against Vanderbilt, forward Zee Spearman is now officially active for the matchup.
Spearman will continue her streak of appearing in every game this season after proving to be a dependable option in the post.
She is in her first year with Tennessee after playing two seasons at Miami. Lady Vols coach Kim Caldwell is expected to update Spearman's status after the game.
