News mentions
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Tennessee Tech softball team improved by leaps and bounds on the diamond this past season, but the Golden Eagles were also hard at work in the classroom. Their efforts paid off as Tech received No. 25 standing in NCAA Division I as the National Fastpitch Coaches Association released its top GPAs as well as collecting 15 Easton/NFCA All-America Scholar-Athlete selections on Tuesday. The players selected included Carmen Betts, Olivia Evans, Mac Fitzgerald, Meaghan Houk, Jordan Key, Sydney Kirby, Abbee Klinefelter, Brooklin Richardson, Ashlyn Riggs, Alina Schlageter, Abby Shoulders, Bailee Stack, Brooklyn Stewart, Savannah Talley and Emily York.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – A can-do attitude and a tremendous work ethic can go a long way. The Tennessee Tech softball team was witness to that with the efforts from Jordan Key, a recent graduating senior for the Golden Eagles.
PEORIA, Ill. – The seventh time was the charm as Tennessee Tech found an answer to Lindenwood to take them out in the opening round of the Ohio Valley Conference Softball Championship, winning 7-3 Wednesday morning. The victory advanced the Golden Eagles into the double-elimination rounds and will take on Tennessee State at the conclusion of the UT Martin/SIUE first-round contest. The game will be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required).
PEORIA, Ill. – This time of year, it’s never over until the final out is recorded. Tennessee Tech might have had a slight cushion heading into the bottom of the seventh, but with as strong as Tennessee State has played this season, it’s unwise to count them out. The Golden Eagles, unfortunately, learned that lesson as the No. 3-seeded Tigers walked off the game with a two-run triple to right from Nahtali Simpson to give TSU the 9-8 victory Wednesday afternoon. Tech (23-23) now falls into the consolation bracket, but the season is not over yet. The Golden Eagles will play again at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, taking on the loser of Game 6 between top-seeded Eastern Illinois and the winner between Wednesday night’s game between Southern Indiana and SIUE.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As the Ohio Valley Conference schedule begins to draw to a close with the conference tournament just two weeks away in Peoria, Ill., the Tennessee Tech softball team can potentially clinch a spot this weekend as the Golden Eagles host SIUE on Saturday and Sunday. But while there is business to take care of this weekend, it’s also a moment to reflect on the careers of the Tech seniors as they will be honored Sunday during the team’s Senior Day festivities as third baseman Carmen Betts, second baseman Mac Fitzgerald, outfielder Jordan Key, outfielder Brooklin Richardson, pitcher Lennon Spicer and catcher S.J. Talley will be recognized for their efforts in the Purple and Gold.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech and UT Martin traded a pair of one-run losses on Saturday as the two teams split the scheduled doubleheader with identical 3-2 results. The Golden Eagles (17-17, 8-9 Ohio Valley Conference) will play the Skyhawks again on Sunday starting at noon to decide the winner of the series. UT Martin took game one as Anna Blanton went 3-for-3 and Kaci Fuller 2-for-4, each with an RBI, while Maddie Long picked up the other RBI in the game.
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Abby Buettner and S.J.
