COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It all comes down to this. Saturday’s final match of the regular season will determine whether the Tennessee Tech volleyball program – in its first year under the direction of head coach Jeannette Waldo – will qualify for the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament for the first time since 2015. Tech (11-18, 5-10 OVC), and its upcoming opponent, UT Martin (13-16, 6-9), came into this week in a tie for eighth place in the league standings, and were also two of the four OVC teams to begin the homestretch with a midweek matchup.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech volleyball gave Tennessee State everything it could handle over four sets on Saturday afternoon, falling 3-1 in a match not justified by its final score. The loss gives Tech a split of its first two league home games for a 1-3 record in the OVC, and a 7-11 mark for the season. Despite the final count, the matchup between the Golden Eagles and Tigers was literally as close as they come. The three sets TTU lost were all by a margin of two points, and two of them required extra tallies to declare a winner: 25-23, 26-24, 26-24.
