Bio
HIGH SCHOOL: Cawthorn has distinguished herself as one of Kentucky's top high school players with an athletic resume that includes being named 4th Region Player of the Year as a junior, along with back-to-back District Player of the Year honors as a sophomore and junior. Under the guidance of her high school coach Ashley Taylor, Cawthorn has led Franklin-Simpson to regional prominence, proving her value not only as a high-impact scorer but as a key playmaker and team leader. Her success has earned her spots on the All-4th Region Tournament Team and All-District Team in each of her last three years.
Cawthorn's stats speak to her all-around game. She averaged 13.0 points and 5.0 rebounds per game as a freshman, establishing herself as an immediate contributor. Her sophomore season saw a remarkable jump to 19.0 points and 13.0 rebounds per game, while, as a junior, she averaged 17.0 points and 10.0 rebounds even though she was the focal point of her opposing defenders on a nightly basis. Her career totals of 1,478 points and 900 rebounds heading into her senior campaign are nothing short of impressive.

It’s the most in Ohio Valley Conference play since Southeast Missouri’s Lachelle Lyles pulled down 32 against Tennessee State on Dec. 7, 2006.
As Tennessee Tech women’s basketball suits up for Saturday’s contest against Eastern Illinois, it won’t be in the traditional colors of Purple and Gold. Instead, with their minds on those in their lives affected by cancer as the team hosts its annual ThinkPink and Play4Kay game, the Panthers won’t be the only thing the Golden Eagles are looking to defeat. Tipoff from the Eblen Center is at 1 PM Saturday. Saturday’s game will honor those who have been affected by all forms of cancer, as every member of the Golden Eagle women’s basketball program will be playing, coaching or serving in honor of someone dear to them who has been impacted by the disease.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Take away the second quarter and Thursday’s Tennessee Tech-Western Illinois women’s tilt is a dead heat.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As Western Illinois comes into the Hooper Eblen Center on Thursday night, it’s the Fighting Leathernecks that have the target placed squarely on their backs as they currently reside in the top spot in the Ohio Valley Conference. And if Tennessee Tech can knock off WIU Thursday night, it will go a long way towards making the OVC race a lot more interesting.
BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech freshman LaReesha Cawthorn continues to make her case as one of the top freshmen in the Ohio Valley Conference as the standout collected her fourth OVC Freshman of the Week honor of the season on Tuesday.

It is the seventh conference regular-season honor for the team this seaso

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – When Tennessee Tech traveled to Little Rock to begin the 2026 portion of the schedule, things were looking up for the Golden Eagles. Tech was heading to the conference’s Western boundary with a 10-2 record following a 6-0 December and things were looking bright. Thirty-one days later and it’s been a tough ride as the Trojans won 51-44 on New Year’s Day. Since then, it’s been seven straight losses with an average margin of 6.3 points with two one-point losses, a two-point loss and a five-point loss with a game that went to overtime.
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – Tennessee Tech went on a 13-2 run to get back within reach of SIUE on Saturday afternoon, but the furious comeback was stopped just short as the host Cougars claimed a 67-62 victory. Tech falls to 10-9, 3-7 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Golden Eagles return to action on Tuesday at Tennessee State, weather permitting.

With Tech’s 13-2 outburst in the fourth, Mathews brought the Golden Eagles back within one with 3:05 remaining in the contest. After SIUE surged back out by seven with 48 seconds left, Larry hit a 3-pointer and Grimes a layup – sandwiching a made free throw to get back within three at 62-59 with 31 seconds left. Miller connected on a pair of free throws, but Mathews hit a clutch 3-pointer at 25 seconds remaining to make it 64-62. However, Miller and Mohamed hit free throws to secure the final margin. Tech was able to force 16 SIUE turnovers to convert into 26 points and create 14 second-chance points. The Golden Eagles finished the game shooting 22-for-63 – 34.9 percent – from the field, hitting -for-18 from long range (44.4 percent) and 10-for-12 at the line (83.3 percent).

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – Tennessee Tech’s record in the Ohio Valley Conference is misleading. With a 3-6 mark in league play, the Golden Eagles need some momentum heading into the midway point of the conference race.

Six wins would put the Golden Eagles in a tie for third well within striking distance – and Tech is just points from being right there.
ST. CHARLES, Mo. – Every time Tennessee Tech was able to get back to a tie score or took the lead against Lindenwood on Thursday night, the host Lions just kept finding a way back up front.

She also recorded six blocks and five steals.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s been a while since the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has stood in its current situation. After four straight conference losses – the first streak of that caliber since 2019-20 – the Golden Eagles are ready to reverse their recent fortunes as Morehead State comes to town on Saturday. Tipoff Saturday is set for 1 PM. Dylan Vazzano and Frank Harrell are on the call on ESPN+ (subscription required), while Noah McKay and Steve Smith will narrate the action on 106.1 The Eagle.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Battle sums up Tennessee Tech’s night against the Southern Indiana women at the Eblen Center Thursday.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s good to be back home. After a tough start to January, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team is back in the Hooper Eblen Center, ready to get back to business.

Dylan Vazzano and Steve Smith will have the call on ESPN+ (subscription required), while Noah McKay and Frank Harrell will describe the action on 106.1 The Eagle.
MACOMB, Ill. – Tennessee Tech put up a fight Saturday at Western Illinois, but the high-powered offense of the host Leathernecks proved tough to handle as WIU claimed a 77-60 victory at Western Hall. Now, the Golden Eagles (10-5, 3-3 Ohio Valley Conference) return home with Southern Indiana looming on the horizon.
MACOMB, Ill. – As the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team enters Saturday’s contest, the Golden Eagles are in a little bit of unfamiliar territory. After back-to-back losses to open the new year against Little Rock and Eastern Illinois – only the second time in the last two seasons, the Golden Eagles are determined to end the skid and get back on track. They’ll attempt to do that Saturday as they take on Western Illinois at 1 PM. Dylan Vazzano and Frank Harrell will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while the game will also be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required).
CHARLESTON, Ill. – After falling down by as many as nine points close to the end of the third quarter, Tennessee Tech roared back and retook a late lead. However, Eastern Illinois had the taste of victory in its mouth and used a late steal and free throws to retake a 75-74 lead with just seconds remaining.
CHARLESTON, Ill. – After a tough loss to open up the year at Little Rock, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has had a week to learn from it and move forward.

Dylan Vazzano and Frank Harrell will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while the game will be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required).
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Thursday’s contest at Little Rock certainly was uncharacteristic as the home squad’s defense made the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team work for every point. The Golden Eagles tried to rally in the final quarter, but it just wasn’t enough as Little Rock held on for a 51-44 victory. Tech falls to 10-3 overall, 3-1 in the Ohio Valley Conference, while the Trojans improve to 6-7 on the season, 2-1 in the league.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Tennessee Tech looks to ring in the New Year on a high note as the Golden Eagles travel to Little Rock for a 3 PM matinee on Thursday.

Noah McKay and Frank Harrell will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while the game will also be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required).
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – No one ever said getting wins was pretty. The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team battled throughout Tuesday’s 69-63 victory over Tennessee State, but the Golden Eagles prevailed to extend their home winning streak to 27 games and their Ohio Valley Conference regular-season winning streak to 18. Tech (10-2, 3-0 OVC) wraps up December with a perfect 6-0 record and finishes the 2025 calendar year with a 29-4 record with two of the losses coming to South Carolina in the NCAA tournament and USC in November.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech is sure going to be sad to see 2025 go – multiple winning streaks, two Ohio Valley Conference championships, an NCAA tournament appearance and starting the 2025-26 season at 9-2 – the team’s best start since 1989-90. So as the Tech women close out 2025 on Tuesday night against Tennessee State, the Golden Eagles are looking to tie a bow on the calendar year with a victory over the Tigers.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Cam Mathews has made a tremendous impact with the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball through the Golden Eagles’ first 11 games of the season, helping lead Tech to a 9-2 start – the team’s best since the 1989-90 season. Now, Mathews is being honored by the Ohio Valley Conference after an incredible week, claiming both OVC Player of the Week and OVC Newcomer of the Week honors on Tuesday.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It was a milestone nearly 50 years in the making on Saturday as the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball collected its 500th victory in the Hooper Eblen Center, topping UT Martin 74-62. Dating all the way back to the first season in the Eblen Center in 1977-78 and now 49 seasons later, the Golden Eagle women have defended their home court well with a 500-172 record and a .744 winning percentage at home. It wasn’t easy, though, as UT Martin kept it close in the first quarter, then outscored the Golden Eagles 18-10 in the second to take a 33-28 advantage. Tech countered with a 13-4 run to open the second half and outscored the Skyhawks 23-10 in the third. The Golden Eagles extended their lead with a 23-19 fourth quarter to cruise to their 26th straight win in at home to extend their program-best streak in progress.

Tech has an opportunity to earn the program’s longest streak by itself on Saturday as the Golden Eagles host Stephens College.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech freshman LaReesha Cawthorn is already starting to make a name for herself across the Ohio Valley Conference as the true freshman from Franklin, Ky., earned her third OVC weekly honor of the season on Tuesday as she was named the league’s Freshman of the Week. Cawthorn came so close to averaging a double-double on the week as she collected 18 total points and 21 rebounds. While she had three points with six rebounds and a steal against Lipscomb last Monday night, Cawthorn fed off the energy from the Education Day crowd, powering the Golden Eagles to the 82-60 victory over Samford this past Thursday.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With nearly 6,000 screaming school children from across the Upper Cumberland, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team put on one heck of a show as the Golden Eagles pulled away for an 82-60 victory over the visiting Samford Bulldogs on Thursday. Officially, the announced attendance of 5,845 stands as fourth in the women’s basketball program’s top attendance list, just behind the last two Education Day contests. The Golden Eagles (6-2) definitely fed on the energy with two players collecting double-doubles and four in double-figure scoring.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s one of the most exciting days of the season as school children from all over the Upper Cumberland converge on the Hooper Eblen Center for Tennessee Tech women’s basketball’s annual Education Day.

Thursday’s contest, however, will be a sneak preview of Southern Conference competition as the Samford Bulldogs come into town. Tech was Samford’s Education Day opponent last season as the Golden Eagles left Birmingham with a 79-65 victory in front of 311 screaming school kids.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – There are homestands and then there are homestands. The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team is getting the latter as the Golden Eagles spend the entire month of December in the friendly confines of the Hooper Eblen Center. Tech (4-2) opens up the staycation on Monday night as it hosts Lipscomb at 6 PM. Dylan Vazzano, Frank Harrell and Ella Fox will have the call on ESPN+ (subscription required), while Noah McKay and Jacob Vinson will narrate the action on 106.1 The Eagle.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Tennessee Tech has played some historic programs over the team’s 56 seasons of play, but surprisingly, Tuesday will be the first time the Golden Eagles will take on USC.
