Grimes named TSWA Women's Player of the Week
Tennessee Tech sophomore Reghan Grimes earned the Tennessee Sports Writers Association's Women's Basketball Player of the Week nod after scoring a career-best 31 points on an efficient shooting night in the Golden Eagles’ lone action of the week in an 86-81 victory at Tennessee State. The award was released Thursday afternoon. The Nashville native shot 10-for-15 from the floor, including one 3-pointer, while hitting 10 of her 11 tosses at the free-throw line. In addition to her first career double-double, Grimes also collected four assists and had two steals in the conference victory. The 31 points are the most scored by a Tech player this season and she becomes the first Golden Eagle to score that or better since Jordan Brock against UT Martin on Feb. 6, 2021.
