News mentions
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Cookeville Mayor Laurin Wheaton read out a long list of accomplishments the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team achieved during the 2022-23 season with Putnam County Mayor Randy Porter on Monday afternoon, citing details from a joint proclamation from the city and county. It certainly was an impressive list, culminating in the Golden Eagles’ 10th Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship – its first since the 1999-2000 campaign – as well as the team’s first NCAA tournament victory since 1990.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – As the buzzer sounded at Assembly Hall sounding the end of the contest, there were tears. Of course there would be – the tremendous journey the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball went on was an arduous one with a lot to celebrate. The Golden Eagles accomplished a lot – the program’s 10th Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship, its 11th NCAA tournament appearance, its fourth NCAA tournament victory. But with the bonds the team built, the sisterhood they formed, the tears were earnest and deserved.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – It had been 23 years since the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team had gone dancing in the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament. It had been 33 years since the Golden Eagles had won a game in the tournament. As Thursday night turns into Friday morning, those clocks get reset. Using a well-balanced effort across the lineup, the Tennessee Tech women win their fourth-ever NCAA Tournament game, topping Monmouth 79-69 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Thursday night. By virtue of the victory, the Golden Eagles (23-9) advance into the Field of 64 and will take on No. 1-seed Indiana on Saturday morning.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Tennessee Tech women’s basketball head coach Kim Rosamond’s message to the players at the end of Friday’s practice was a simple one. “You belong here.” After all, the Golden Eagles have never shied away from any competition, playing many of the nation’s top programs over the years. They’ll definitely face their toughest test of the season on Saturday morning as Tech (23-9) takes on regional No. 1-seed Indiana. Tipoff is scheduled for 11:30 am. Eastern/10:30 a.m. Central.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Trailing by 10 with just over six minutes remaining in the contest, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team needed a run at just the right time. After getting an 11-point streak in the first quarter, the Golden Eagles knew it was possible. And Tech found it through some incredible play around the lineup as the Golden Eagles went on a 17-2 run to close out the game and take a 66-61 victory over Eastern Illinois on Friday in the Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championship semifinals at the Ford Center.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Anna Walker came out in force, pacing the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team in its Ohio Valley Conference quarterfinal contest against SIUE on Thursday. She had eight points alone in the first quarter and finished with 16 in the contest to lead all scorers as the Golden Eagles took a 76-62 victory over the Cougars. Tech wins its 20th game of the season and advances to Friday’s semifinal against Eastern Illinois. Tipoff in that contest is slated for 3:30 p.m. Dylan Vazzano and Frank Harrell will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while Connor Onion and Teresa Phillips will have the broadcast on ESPN+ (subscription required). The 20 wins gives Tech that mark for back-to-back seasons, the first time for the Golden Eagles to win back-to-back 20 wins since 2004-05 and 2005-06. It is also the third straight appearance in the tournament semifinals.
CHARLESTON, Ill. – With the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team trailing 57-52 with just over four minutes to play, the Golden Eagles weren’t worried. After all, they had already overcome that deficit already in the contest. Jada Guinn turned it up down the stretch, scoring eight points in the final 10 minutes, including 4-for-4 from the free-throw line, as well as three rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block as she helped guide the Golden Eagles back to a thrilling 66-61 victory over Eastern Illinois on Saturday. With that, next week’s Ohio Valley Conference tournament in Evansville is set. Tech (19-9, 13-5 OVC), as the No. 3-seed, will face the winner of SIUE/Tennessee State on Thursday at 3:30 p.m. The winner of that game will face No. 2-seed Eastern Illinois on Friday.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Tennessee Tech surged out to a big lead and never looked back on Thursday night as Maaliya Owens and Peyton Carter had big nights to lead the Golden Eagles to a 78-57 victory over Southern Indiana. Tech improved to 18-9 with one game remaining in the regular season, 12-5 in the Ohio Valley Conference. Owens needed just one 3-pointer to tie Dana (Bilyeu) McWilliams for the senior record of 74 set back in 1992-93, but she tied it on her first shot, then broke it on her second 3-pointer of the quarter. She ended the night with six 3-pointers – just a shade short of her nine 3-pointer effort in the previous meeting against the Screaming Eagles – which also puts her seven 3-pointers away of tying Allison Clark and Blair Bowens’ single-season 3-point record at 86 each.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – As Tennessee Tech enters its final week of the regular season, the tournament seeding pretty much set for the Golden Eagles. Tech (17-9, 11-5 Ohio Valley Conference) are pretty much locked into the No. 3-seed in next week’s tournament at Evansville’s Ford Center. The Golden Eagles could tie Eastern Illinois with two victories and two Panther losses – including to Tech on Saturday – but EIU presently holds a tiebreaker over the Golden Eagles with a win over current league leader Little Rock. The next team back from the Golden Eagles – Southeast Missouri – stands in with an 8-8 record, giving Tech a three-game cushion and meaning that no team behind the Golden Eagles can catch them in the standings. That said, only Lindenwood has been eliminated in the race, meaning Tech’s opponent on Thursday – Southern Indiana -- has something to play for.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Two weeks remain in the regular season and the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team will close out the home portion of the campaign on Thursday against Lindenwood and Saturday against UT Martin. Tipoff on Thursday is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Roger Ealey and Frank Harrell will have the broadcast on 106.1 The Eagle, while Dylan Vazzano and Michael Cooper will call the action on ESPN+ (subscription required).
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Southern Indiana jumped out to an early lead, but Tennessee Tech used a 16-0 run to surge ahead in the first quarter and never looked back as the Golden Eagles topped the Screaming Eagles 79-59 on Thursday night. Tech improved to 15-8 on the season and stand at 9-4 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Golden Eagles continue the campaign on Saturday as they head to Nashville to take on Tennessee State. Tipoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – If the previous meeting with Southeast Missouri is any indication, Saturday’s showdown with the Redhawks could be an exciting one. Tennessee Tech hosts the Redhawk women at 1 p.m. at the Eblen Center. Roger Ealey will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while Dylan Vazzano and Seth Bruton will handle broadcast duties on ESPN+ (subscription required). Saturday’s game is Tech’s Play4Kay contest as the team encourages fan to wear pink and support the Kay Yow Cancer Fund’s work in cancer research.
MOREHEAD, Ky. – Morehead State stayed just far enough ahead of Tennessee Tech in the fourth quarter as the home-standing Eagles scored 12 points at the free-throw line and got 15 points from Sandra Lin in the final 10 minutes as MSU took a 70-68 victory over the Golden Eagles on Thursday night. Tech falls to 13-8, 7-4 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Golden Eagles return to action on Saturday as they host Southeast Missouri at 1 p.m. Anna Walker tied Tech’s largest lead of the game with 9:47 remaining in the contest, but a 6-0 run by Morehead (9-13, 5-6 OVC) with two second-chance layups and a pair of Lin free throws put the home squad back up by one with 8:14 remaining.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Saturday’s game was everything one could ask for in an Ohio Valley Conference matchup between two of the top three teams. The Tennessee Tech women battled back from a 12-point deficit and it was a battle the rest of the way going down to the wire. Little Rock might have won the day, escaping the Eblen Center with a 66-63 victory, but Tennessee Tech certainly made them earn it. The improvement showed from the first meeting to the next and it makes a potential showdown in Evansville an intriguing one. So 63 points? That’s not just the most any OVC team has scored against the Trojans this season, it’s the fifth-most points scored by any opponents in Little Rock’s 21 games played. The teams that have scored more? Arkansas (93), Oral Roberts (74), Auburn (70) and Alabama (69).
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech got off to a hot start in each of the first three quarters as the Golden Eagles’ defense slowed down the conference’s top offense as Tech topped SIUE 89-62. The Golden Eagles improved to 13-6 on the season, 7-2 in Ohio Valley Conference. Tech returns to action at the Eblen Center on Saturday, tipoff scheduled for 1 p.m.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team nears the midway point of the Ohio Valley Conference schedule, the Golden Eagles will start to see some familiar faces as the OVC race begins to heat up with a month remaining in the regular season. Tech (12-6, 6-2 OVC) will start its second go-round in the OVC on Thursday as SIUE comes into the Hooper Eblen Center. Please note that Thursday’s game is a 3 p.m. start time after the men’s game was selected as a wild-card pick by ESPN to be broadcast nationwide on ESPNews. Roger Ealey and Frank Harrell will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while Dylan Vazzano and Michael Cooper will handle the broadcast on ESPN+ (subscription required).
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Tennessee Tech saw first-hand on Thursday night how difficult Little Rock’s defense was to crack as the Golden Eagles ended their first trip to the Ohio Valley Conference newcomer with a 61-45 defeat at the Stephens Center. Tech shot 28.6 percent from the field in the contest, including 1-for-11 from the floor in the third quarter. The Golden Eagles were also 2-for-14 from 3-point range in the contest, while the Trojans – who had only hit six through the first six league games – knocked down three.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee State came out on fire, but Tennessee Tech found a way to weather the storm as the Golden Eagles surged back to erase the early deficit and outscored the Lady Tigers in each of the final three quarters to come away with an 83-76 victory on Saturday afternoon in the Hooper Eblen Center. Tech improved to 11-5, 5-1 in the OVC, while the Lady Tigers fell to 7-10, 2-4 in the conference. With Little Rock’s loss to Eastern Illinois, the Golden Eagles move into a tie for second with the Trojans with Tech traveling to Little Rock on Thursday. Jada Guinn had a nearly perfect game, shooting 8-for-9 from the field and 8-for-9 at the free-throw line to score a career-high 24 points. Maaliya Owens followed up her career night on Thursday with another solid showing with 21 points, including five 3-pointers, while true freshman Reghan Grimes posted a new season-best with 17 points.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech soared out on a 12-0 run to open Thursday’s game and never looked back as the Golden Eagles soared to a 69-52 victory over visiting Morehead State at the Hooper Eblen Center. Senior Maaliya Owens set a new career high in scoring with 24 points as well as a new top mark in 3-pointers made as she knocked down six of her 12 tries. Owens finished the game hitting 9-of-17 shots, while she also collected two rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot. The balanced effort only saw one more double-digit scorer as Kiera Hill set her new Tech best in scoring, tallying 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting, adding on to a solid night with seven rebounds and an assist.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As Morehead State comes into the Hooper Eblen Center on Thursday night, it’s a much-improved squad from a season ago. The visiting Eagles bring a 6-9 record, 2-2 in the Ohio Valley Conference. Last season, Morehead State finished 1-26 and 0-17 in the OVC in Cayla Petree’s first year at the helm. After a nearly-complete revamp of the lineup, including nine international players and five Division I transfers, this year’s squad has already shown vast improvement and could make things very interesting for the Golden Eagles (9-5, 3-1 OVC) on Thursday night. Tip-off for Thursday’s game is set for 5:30 p.m. Roger Ealey and Frank Harrell will have the game on 106.1 The Eagle, while Dylan Vazzano and Michael Cooper will broadcast the game on ESPN+ (subscription required). The game will also be televised locally on WCTE and heard on student radio station 88.5 FM.
MARTIN, Tenn. – After a tough game on Thursday night, the Tennessee Tech women's basketball team will put that game in the rearview and get set for Saturday's opponent – long-time OVC rival UT Martin. Tip-off from the Elam Center on Saturday is set for 1 p.m. Roger Ealey will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while Chris Brinkley will handle the broadcast on ESPN+ (subscription required). Thursday's game couldn't have been any closer against Eastern Illinois as the OVC front-runner took the 67-62 victory. The Panthers jumped out to an early lead only for the Golden Eagles to close the gap at the half and take a lead in the third quarter. EIU retook the lead late and was able to stay on top as the final seconds ticked away.
ST. CHARLES, Mo. – As Tennessee Tech heads to Lindenwood on Saturday, it’s a whole new experience. The Lions, one of three new members of the Ohio Valley Conference this season, have never played the Golden Eagles before. With no history to study between the two teams in the past, the pair will lock horns to start a new chapter in Tech’s history. Tipoff on Saturday at Hyland Arena is set for 1 p.m. Roger Ealey will have the broadcast on 106.1 The Eagle, while the game will also be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required).
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – It was a milestone moment 52-and-a-half seasons in the making. As the final buzzer sounded at SIUE’s First Community Arena on Thursday, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team not only took its first win of the Ohio Valley Conference campaign with an 85-70 victory over the host Cougars, it gave the Golden Eagles the 1,000th win in program history. Tech (7-4) became the 21st team in NCAA Division I to reach the millennium mark, joining some pretty elite company.
NEW ORLEANS – It could be a milestone day for Tennessee Tech women’s basketball at the Tulane Holiday Tournament on Tuesday as the Golden Eagles will play for its 1,000th victory in the program’s history. The tournament starts for Tech with a 2:30 contest against VCU at Tulane’s Devlin Fieldhouse. Dylan Vazzano will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With the roar of over four thousand Upper Cumberland students accenting the scene at the Hooper Eblen Center, the Tennessee Tech women cruised to a 85-52 victory over Tennessee Wesleyan to wrap up the home portion of the non-conference schedule. The Golden Eagles (5-3) finish that section 4-0 in the Eblen Center before league play begins at the end of the month. Tech still has some road action left before the Christmas holiday as the Golden Eagles begin their Louisiana swing on Saturday with a visit to ULM before heading into New Orleans on Tuesday and Wednesday for the Tulane Holiday Tournament against VCU and an opponent to be determined later between host Tulane and its opponent, Saint Francis.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’ll be an early day for the Tennessee Tech women on Tuesday as the Golden Eagles entertain Tennessee Wesleyan for the annual Education Day contest. Tipoff for the game is scheduled for 11 a.m. Season ticket holders will be seated in Section D to accommodate the visiting student groups. Students from 17 different Upper Cumberland schools will fill the arena at the Hooper Eblen Center as it gives them an opportunity to take in a Tech basketball game and see the campus.
