In a game that started as a defensive slugfest with points at a premium, Belmont pulled away in the second half as the Golden Eagles went cold, hitting just one of 11 shot attempts in the fourth quarter – a 3-pointer by Maaliya Owens with 12 seconds left standing as the only successful try in the period.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Murray State led for the majority of the game. Tennessee Tech led when it mattered.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A fast start for the Austin Peay made Saturday’s game challenging as the Tennessee Tech women but the Golden Eagles were able to slice into the APSU lead.

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – It was a bit close for comfort on Saturday afternoon, but what was important for the Tennessee Tech women was that they were coming home with the victory. It took a physical effort to get the win as SIUE forced the Golden Eagles into tough shot after tough shot, but Tech earned the 68-64 decision at First Community Arena. The Golden Eagles (16-8, 11-3 OVC) remain in second place after the day’s action is through, trailing Belmont (16-7, 12-2 OVC) by a game. Austin Peay (17-6, 10-3 OVC) is a half-game back from the Golden Eagles, while Murray State (18-7, 10-4 OVC) is a game back. Eastern Illinois (8-6 OVC), UT Martin (6-7 OVC), Tennessee State (6-8 OVC) and SIUE (5-9 OVC) would round out the conference tournament field if the regular season ended today.
CHARLESTON, Ill. – The Ohio Valley Conference race is heating up and with six games to play in the regular season, it’s all about making that final push and locking down one of the two byes in the conference tournament in Evansville. The Tennessee Tech women are certainly well aware of how tight the league standings are. After a tough loss on Saturday to Belmont, the Bruins currently have a one-game lead in the OVC at 10-2. Tech stands at 9-3, a half-game up on Austin Peay (8-3). Murray State (8-4) and Eastern Illinois (8-4) are just a game back, making this weekend’s games for the Golden Eagles important as they try to build separation.

No opponent can be overlooked and with a Morehead State team inviting the Golden Eagles in for a Thursday matinee – the start time changing to 11 a.m. Thursday for weather concerns – Tech certainly can’t just kick back and relax.
MARTIN, Tenn. – Monday was a great homecoming for Anna Jones as the Jackson native put on a show, leading the Tennessee Tech women to their sixth straight win and 11th in the last 13, topping UT Martin 67-56 at the Elam Center. Jones went 9-for-12 from the field, including a perfect 3-for-3 from long range and 4-for-6 from the free-throw line as she scored a season-high 25 points to lead all scorers. Tech’s towering presence of Anna Walker and Mackenzie Coleman also had great games – Walker had 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting with a 3-pointer and three made free-throws, while Coleman was 5-for-8 from the floor with a 3-pointer and two made free-throws for 13 points.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It was a fight to the finish on Saturday night, but when the dust settled in the Eblen Center, the Tennessee Tech women topped Austin Peay and cut the Ohio Valley Conference logjam at the top to just the Golden Eagles and Belmont as Tech topped Austin Peay 59-56.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – There was a time when the matchup between the Austin Peay and Tennessee Tech women helped decide the fate of the Ohio Valley Conference championship.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It was a tough day for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team on Saturday as Murray State came into Cookeville on short notice after both the Golden Eagles and Racers’ opponents had to postpone.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – For the second time in a week’s span, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team will face off with Murray State. It’s as familiar with a foe as one can get with just one contest between the two meetings in Thursday’s win over Morehead State. The Golden Eagles (7-6, 2-1 OVC) were originally scheduled to take on Eastern Illinois on Saturday, but the Panthers entered COVID protocols, rescheduling the game to Monday, Jan. 24. Instead, Tech will take on Murray State, who had its Thursday contest against the Panthers postponed as well, meaning the last game for the Racers is Tech’s 65-62 victory a week ago in the CFSB Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – When the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball coaches added Anna Walker to the program last spring, they knew the Chattanooga transfer was going to be a special player.

MURRAY, Ky. – Murray State entered Saturday’s game as the top team in the Ohio Valley Conference at 9-3. When Saturday’s game ended, the Racers had another notch in the loss column as the Tennessee Tech women learned from its mistakes in Thursday’s heartbreaking overtime defeat at Tennessee State, topping Murray 65-62. After trailing by as many as seven points with 7:15 remaining in the contest at 52-45, Tech (6-6, 1-1 OVC) used a 11-2 run late in the fourth quarter to take a 56-54 lead with 3:46 left as Megan Clark hit back-to-back 3-pointers.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A hard-fought game from buzzer to buzzer, Thursday’s Ohio Valley Conference opener for the Tennessee Tech women came down to a fantastic finish. Unfortunately, the incredible last-ditch shot in overtime to win the game came from a desperation heave from Tennessee State freshman Gia Adams, giving the Tigers a 96-93 victory – their first conference victory since February 20, 2020, against Eastern Kentucky, ending a 23-game skid in league play.

The energetic crowd gave the Tech women a boost as the Golden Eagles put on a show.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – If it seems like it’s been a while since the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has graced the court of the Hooper Eblen Center, it has as the Golden Eagles’ last game at home came just before the Thanksgiving holiday. Approaching over three weeks since the last outing in the friendly confines, the Tech women will end that drought in front of a large contingent of Upper Cumberland school children as students from Putnam, White and Overton Counties will converge on the Hoop for the annual Education Day contest. The game against Tennessee Wesleyan on Thursday is scheduled for an 11 a.m. start. Roger Ealey will provide the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while Dylan Vazzano and Frank Harrell will handle the broadcast on ESPN+ (subscription required).
KNOXVILLE – When the final horn sounded at Thompson-Boling Arena on Wednesday night, there were a lot of positives for the Tennessee Tech women. While a 76-48 loss to the No. 11 Tennessee squad wasn't the desired outcome, the Golden Eagles have plenty to build on as they enter the December portion of the non-conference schedule. Tech (2-5) battled through the contest and had a strong showing in the first half, but a 1-for-13 finish in the third quarter saw the Lady Vols distance themselves.
KNOXVILLE – It’s been a long time since the Tennessee Tech women have faced the Tennessee Lady Vols. There is a rich history between the two programs and their 27 previous meetings – of which the Golden Eagles claimed 11 victories. Back in the old Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women days before the NCAA officially adopted women’s basketball, Tennessee-Tennessee Tech was a common matchup, playing 22 times in the 1970s. But since women’s basketball became an NCAA sport in 1982, Tech and the Lady Vols have only played twice, the last time coming thirty years ago in a heated, physical matchup on a cold February night in 1991.
SAN JUAN, P.R. – While most are gathering with their families this holiday weekend carving into the turkey and preparing for the holiday shopping, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team is hard at work on the sunny shores of Puerto Rico as the Golden Eagles compete in the San Juan Shootout.

It is the first meeting between the Golden Eagles against either team in the all-time program history. The San Juan Shootout is the 52nd in-season tournament for Tech in the program’s 52 seasons of play, posting a 49-66 record all-time.
COOKEVILLE – When it comes to the series between the Tennessee Tech and Middle Tennessee women’s basketball teams, the word battle comes to mind. The series, which has been in play nearly every season of the two program’s existence, continues Monday night as the Golden Eagles host the Blue Raiders.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With a win in the books to open the 2021-22 campaign, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team will be back in action on Saturday night, looking to derail Chattanooga as the Mocs come to the Eblen Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Saturday to close out the Homecoming festivities. Dylan Vazzano and Frank Harrell will provide the call on ESPN+ (subscription required) and Roger Ealey will handle radio duties on 106.1 FM The Eagle.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s always nice to open the season with a W. The Tennessee Tech women’s team did just that in decisive fashion on Tuesday night, using a strong defensive effort to shut down Bethel out of the NAIA’s Mid-South Conference 85-46. The Golden Eagles (1-0) return to action on Saturday as they host Chattanooga at 7 p.m. Bethel remains at 3-1 since it counted the game as an exhibition contest.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – All the prep work is done, now it’s time for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team to hit the court for real as Bethel comes to town Tuesday night to take on the Golden Eagles.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Typically every season, the Ohio Valley Conference basketball coaches would make the trip – most recently to Evansville, Ind., the host site of the conference championship tournament and meet with the media to preview the upcoming season. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, things changed. Last season, the OVC Basketball Media Day was held virtually, using Zoom and connecting the coaches with conference media from the comfort of their desks and computer screens. Since then, all of the league’s media days have followed suit. On Wednesday, the first day for the OVC Basketball Virtual Media Day as it concludes Thursday, the Tennessee Tech teams had their chance to speak to the media.
BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – If the Ohio Valley Conference voters’ crystal balls are correct this year, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team could have a very exciting season ahead.

That season, Tech had 12 first-place votes and 119 total points. The 2021-22 Golden Eagles surpassed that overall point total, earning 134 total points in the voting, while claiming two of the 20 first-place votes.
