Cinderella's shoe no longer fits thanks to the Tennessee Lady Volunteers' basketball team.

The Lady Vols rolled to a 65-46 victory over 13th-seeded Marist to advance to the Elite Eight for the 22nd time in 26 years.

Leading the way for Tennessee, as usual, was sophomore Candace Parker.

Parker made her first eight shots en route to scoring 16 points to go along with nine rebounds.

Alexis Hornbuckle had a solid all-around game for the Lady Vols with eight points, eight rebounds and five assists.

Shannon Bobbitt and Sidney Spencer each scored eleven points for Tennessee.

Marist was led by Meg Dahlman's 16 points and eight rebounds, but it was not enough to continue the team's surprise run through the NCAA tournament.

The Red Foxes defeated powers Ohio State and Middle Tennessee in the tournament's first two rounds, but ran out of luck against the Lady Vols.

Tennessee will take on SEC foe Mississippi in the Regional Final on Tuesday, with the winner advancing to the Final Four in Cleveland.
