THOUGHTS FROM COACH BROWN: "The women are definitely ready to get back out there after our tournament up in Sevierville. I'm excited to see how we build on the momentum from our third-place showing last week. We just hope some expected weather won't play too much of a factor this weekend."
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: The Golden Eagles will look to build off the momentum from their third-place finish at the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate last Tuesday. Freshman Isabel York will make her first appearance in the Tech lineup in her career after playing in her collegiate event at the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate.
