Tech women's basketball seniors reflect as Senior Day arrives

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s always emotional when a season starts to wind down to the final days. Senior Day is a bittersweet moment as you reflect on the success, the adversity and the accomplishments over the past several years. For this Tech senior class in 2023-24, there’s still a lot to do with the Ohio Valley Conference tournament just a couple of weeks away and plenty to prepare for before that event. Since putting on the Purple and Gold, this Senior class has known nothing but winning. This group has experienced five consecutive winning seasons and are currently in the hunt for their sixth-straight winning season. They captured the program’s first OVC tournament championship in 23 years, and first NCAA tournament win in 30 years.

Golden Eagle women win fourth straight, top Western Illinois

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Without a doubt, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team is starting to heat up at the right time. With a 77-66 victory over Western Illinois, one of the Ohio Valley Conference’s top offensive units and none-too-shabby on defense either, the Golden Eagles pulled together a tremendous team effort to collect their fourth win in a row – the longest current streak in the conference. With the victory, the Golden Eagles technically sit in fifth just by percentage points, having played one more game than the four teams sitting in front of them, but they have the same number of wins – eight – as Morehead State, Eastern Illinois and Little Rock sit deadlocked in a three-way tie for second.
