COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Inside a sold-out, jam-packed and lavishly decorated banquet hall at Cookeville’s Quality Inn, family members, ardent supporters and Tennessee Tech Athletics staff joined the Golden Eagle women’s basketball team to celebrate the its exciting, revitalizing 2018-19 season, and reflect on the numerous accomplishments therein. Following a high-energy, wedding-style introduction of each team member, an invocation from senior forward Lacy Cantrell and a season recap from head coach Kim Rosamond, the event moved to its highly-anticipated awards presentation segment.
BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Despite a gritty effort over 40 minutes of back-and-forth action, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team was unable to come away with a victory in its Women’s Basketball Invitational quarterfinal matchup with Campbell Monday night, bringing to an end its resurgent 2018-19 season. Tech wraps its campaign with a 22-11 record, an increase of 15 wins from 2017-18, which equates to the second-biggest turnaround in NCAA Division I this season. In the process, the Golden Eagles amassed 12 home wins and 12 wins in Ohio Valley Conference play, which are the program’s best marks since the 2004-05 and 2012-13 seasons, respectively. They also racked up nine wins on the road, the best since 2010-11.
BUIES CREEK, N.C. – One of just two Ohio Valley Conference teams still playing basketball, Tennessee Tech rolls into its Women’s Basketball Invitational quarterfinal matchup with Campbell looking to build on its convincing opening-round victory over Akron. The first-ever battle between the Tennessee Tech and Campbell women’s programs will be waged Monday night at 6 p.m. CT from CU’s Gore Arena in Buies Creek, N.C. At stake is a berth in the semifinals, which will be played on Friday and Saturday, March 29-30.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – After a slow first quarter, Tennessee Tech found its groove on both ends of the floor and overpowered Akron in its first-round matchup of the Women’s Basketball Invitational Thursday night, using strong bench play and a dominant rebounding advantage to secure a 73-59 victory, and a berth in the tournament quarterfinals. While playing in its first national postseason tournament since the 2011-12 season, the victory was Tech’s first in such setting since it took down Belmont in the 2006 Women’s National Invitation Tournament. With the win, Tech advances to play Campbell in its on Monday, March 25. That game will tip at 6 p.m. CT from CU’s Gilbert Craig Gore Arena in Buies Creek N.C.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Now that they’re in, it’s time to get down to business Tennessee Tech’s Thursday night matchup with Akron in the Women’s Basketball Invitational, which will tip at 6:00 p.m. CT inside the friendly confines of the Eblen Center, represents an opportunity to record the program’s first win in a national postseason tournament since 2006. That occurrence came against Belmont, which was not yet a member of the Ohio Valley Conference, on March 15, 2006 in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. Tech prevailed in a thriller, 56-55.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s not over. That is the way the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team is treating its incredible 2018-19 campaign, hitting the hardwood as relentlessly as ever in preparation for a potential postseason bid.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Despite holding Belmont to 62 points, which equaled its second-lowest total of the season, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team simply could not get enough shots to fall in their Ohio Valley Conference Tournament semifinal game on Friday afternoon, as the fourth-seeded Golden Eagles fell to the No. 1 Bruins, 62-48, at the Ford Center in Evansville, Ind. Tech moves to 21-10 for the year, and will now await a potential bid for a national postseason tournament. The 21 wins are the second-most in school history since the 2005-06 season, making Kim Rosamond just the second Tech coach to record a 20-win campaign since the Bill Worrell era.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The scoring depth on the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has been one of its major strengths all season, and it came to the forefront again Thursday afternoon in TTU’s 68-57 victory over Austin Peay in the opening round of the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament at The Ford Center in Evansville, Ind. The victory moves Tech’s record to 21-9 on the season, and is the program’s first in the OVC Tournament since March 8, 2013. “I thought the difference in the game was our defense and our bench play,” said head coach Kim Rosamond. “I just can’t say enough about our bench – especially Kesha (Brady) and Mackenzie (Coleman). I thought they played tremendous.”
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – By this point, the story of Tennessee Tech women’s basketball’s renaissance season is well documented. The Golden Eagles have been markedly better in virtually every aspect of the game this year, from nearly a 10-point-per-game increase in scoring offense, to a reduction of almost 20 percent in turnovers committed. On Thursday afternoon, Tech will get yet another chance to measure its growth from a season ago when it enters Ohio Valley Conference Tournament play against Austin Peay at 1 p.m. CT. The No. 4 seed Golden Eagles and fifth-seeded Governors will battle in the first game of the day at The Ford Center in Evansville, Ind., which can be viewed on ESPN+ and heard on 106.1 The Eagle.
CHARLESTON, Ill. – The members of the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team stood inside their locker room, water bottles at the ready. After all, they had waited for this moment for a long time. No, the Tech women didn’t win the Ohio Valley Conference regular-season championship, but for what the program had gone through in recent years, it might have felt the same.
EDWARDVILLE, Ill. – It’s the final week of Ohio Valley Conference regular-season action, and despite already having a spot locked up for next week’s conference tournament in Evansville, Ind., there’s still plenty for the Tennessee Tech women to play for. The Golden Eagles (19-8, 11-5 OVC) will head first to SIUE on Thursday night. The Cougars enter the game with a 12-15 record, 7-9 in league play. SIUE has split its last four games and lost seven of its last 10. The Cougars defeated Tennessee State 66-55 and fell to Belmont 87-54 in road action last weekend. On the other side of the coin, Tech is 5-5 in its last 10 games, following a nine-game winning streak that included the Golden Eagles’ home contest against the Cougars back on January 10. Tech knocked off Eastern Kentucky 77-57 on Thursday, then fell 73-70 to Morehead State on Saturday to complete last week’s slate.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – If all anyone saw of the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball game against Morehead State was the first quarter, one might have thought the Golden Eagles had been run out of the gym Saturday night. But despite the 23-7 deficit through the first quarter, the Tech women kept fighting, kept clawing their way back and found themselves in position to win the contest, but ultimately fell short, dropping a 73-70 decision to Morehead State.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – When you can put together a multi-faceted effort like the Tennessee Tech women did on Thursday night against Eastern Kentucky, it definitely makes a team tough to beat. The visiting Colonels found out the hard way, falling to 0-15 in the Ohio Valley Conference as the Golden Eagles surged to a 77-57 victory. With the win, Tech is in sole possession of second place in the conference standings with three games remaining in the regular season.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Every season has bumps in the road. The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team experienced one of those bumps Saturday night against Belmont, and must now pick themselves up and initiate a positive response against Eastern Kentucky. The Golden Eagles will be looking for their third sweep of an Ohio Valley Conference opponent this season when they square off with the Colonels at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the Eblen Center.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Good teams have to be able to win games in different ways, and on Thursday night, Tennessee Tech women’s basketball showed that capability, using tough defense, poise under pressure, and plenty of grit to come away with a 62-59 victory over Jacksonville State in the Eblen Center. “Not the prettiest – definitely not the best that we’ve played all year, but a really big win,” said head coach Kim Rosamond. “To look and see 18 overall wins and 10 conference wins is really, really big.” Tech improves to 18-6 on the year, and 10-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference, which gives Rosamond’s club sole possession of second place by way of Morehead State’s loss to Austin Peay.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team regained its early-season moxie in Saturday’s thrilling road win over Ohio Valley Conference power UT Martin, and will now welcome four consecutive league opponents to the Eblen Center over the next two weeks, starting with Jacksonville State on Thursday night at 5:30 p.m.
MARTIN, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team broke out of its recent slump with what might have been its best showing of the season on Saturday against UT Martin, outlasting the Skyhawks 80-76 behind career days from Mackenzie Coleman and Kesha Brady, and an exceptional game from Kentoria Alexander. Tech improved to a 17-6 record with the victory, and separated itself from UTM in the Ohio Valley Conference standings, taking sole possession of third place with a 9-3 ledger. The 17 overall wins are the most the program has seen since it recorded 19 in 2012-13, and the nine league wins ties the mark put up by the 2013-14 squad.
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – The recent offensive struggles for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team surfaced again on Thursday night at Southeast Missouri, as the Golden Eagles were plagued by a lack of consistent execution in a 62-53 loss in SEMO’s Show Me Center. The loss moves to TTU to a 16-6 record on the season, and an 8-3 mark in the Ohio Valley Conference.
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Another huge road trip awaits the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team this week, as they will square off with two teams in the top half of the Ohio Valley Conference standings, beginning with Southeast Missouri on Thursday evening at 5:30 p.m. in the Redhawks’ Show Me Center.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Kesha Brady and Mackenzie Coleman led Tennessee Tech’s 45-point bench effort, and Kentoria Alexander scored a career-high 16 points as the Golden Eagles broke out of a first half slump to fly past Murray State 74-65 in front of 4,087 guests in the Eblen Center Saturday evening. TTU moves to 16-5 on the year with the victory, and 8-2 in the Ohio Valley Conference. With eight league contests remaining, Tech has already posted eight wins, which is the highest total over the program’s last five seasons.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team’s streak of dominance inside the Hooper Eblen Center came to an end on Thursday night, as the Golden Eagles suffered their second conference loss of the season to a scrappy, upstart Austin Peay club, 71-65. “Obviously a disappointing night,” said head coach Kim Rosamond. “I thought Austin Peay was the tougher team tonight. They outhustled us, out-toughed us, and at times, just played a whole lot smarter than we did for three and a half quarters. The last three minutes, we showed a sense of urgency that we hadn’t showed the entire game.” Tech fell to 15-5 and 7-2 in the OVC with the loss, which saw the team post season lows for field goal percentage (35.8 percent) and 3-point field goal percentage (30 percent) in the Hoop, and get outrebounded by the Governors – a team not known for their prowess on the glass – 40-34.
GEORGETOWN, Ky. – Tennessee Tech women’s basketball got back to its winning ways Saturday afternoon, overcoming poor 3-point shooting and a first-half offensive storm from Eastern Kentucky to prevail 81-68 inside Georgetown College’s Davis-Reid Alumni Gym. “This was another great team win tonight,” said head coach Kim Rosamond. “We needed a positive response after what happened Thursday night, and I thought we accomplished that.” “You have to credit (Eastern Kentucky) and Coach (Chrissy) Roberts. For a team that hasn’t won a conference game yet and has dealt with some adversity throughout the season, I thought they played extremely well, shot the ball well, and gave us a really tough game, especially in the first half.”
GEORGETOWN, Ky. – Less than 48 hours after dropping its first Ohio Valley Conference decision, Tennessee Tech women’s basketball will take part in its second neutral-site game of the season when it battles Eastern Kentucky at Georgetown College on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. CT.
MOREHEAD, Ky. – For the first time in 51 days, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team added a loss to its overall ledger, as it received its first blemish in Ohio Valley Conference play at the hands of Morehead State on Thursday night. The loss ends Tech’s nine-game winning streak, which started with a victory over UNC Asheville back on December 18. It moves their record to 14-4 on the season and 6-1 in the OVC.
JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – Two Saturdays. Two conference wins. Two very different paths to success. Last weekend, Tech (14-3, 6-0 OVC) shot 60 percent from the field and 54 percent from 3-point range in dropping 99 points on Eastern Illinois in an old-fashioned shootout. On this night, defense would take center stage, as TTU frustrated Jacksonville State (8-9, 2-4 OVC) for nearly the entire contest, holding the Gamecocks to just 49 points and 33.3 percent from the floor.
JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – Tennessee Tech women’s basketball’s ‘process’ just keeps churning out wins. After three straight home games grew its winning streak to eight in a row, Tech will now look to keep the positive juices flowing at Jacksonville State, the first of three consecutive road tilts for TTU. Tip time from JSU’s Pete Mathews Coliseum is scheduled for 5 p.m. CT.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Anacia Wilkinson was a dominant force in Tennessee Tech’s 76-65 win over Tennessee State on Wednesday night, finishing just one block short of a triple-double to help Tech complete the season sweep of TSU, and move to 8-0 inside the Hooper Eblen Center. Wilkinson picked up her second double-double in the last three games, leading TTU in scoring and rebounding with 12 and 10, respectively. She also tallied a career-high nine blocks, which tied the school record, and moved her into the top 10 on Tech’s all-time career list.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Three-pointers rained from all over the floor on Saturday night as Tennessee Tech prevailed over Eastern Illinois, 99-88, in a 40-minute shootout in the Hooper Eblen Center. Jordan Brock had a huge hand in the victory with a career-high 33 points, and TTU moved to 4-0 in Ohio Valley Conference play, retaining its title as the league’s only unbeaten. The victory improves Tech’s overall record to 12-3 and its home ledger to 7-0, and keeps its seven-game winning streak intact.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Despite a slow start Thursday night, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team found its stride in the second half to earn a 24-point victory over SIUE, 79-55, and move to 3-0 in Ohio Valley Conference play for the first time since 2012. Beating the Cougars ended Tech’s drought of almost five years to the day without a victory in the series, with the Golden Eagles’ last triumph coming on Jan. 11, 2014. It broke a streak of five straight for SIUE. As a result, Kim Rosamond’s team moves to an OVC-best 11-3 for the year, giving them their highest win total in any of the coach’s three seasons, and the program’s best start through 14 games since the 1989-90 team.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – It’s been more than two years since the Belmont women’s basketball team has seen a loss in its Ohio Valley Conference ledger, but Tennessee Tech did the honors of ending the Bruins’ 47-game stretch of league dominance on Saturday, downing the Bruins 77-72 in BU’s Curb Event Center. It marks the first time Tech has beaten Belmont in 10 tries, and the program’s first win at Curb Event Center since Feb. 2, 2013. “I’m just so happy for our players,” said coach Kim Rosamond. “It’s huge for our team, but it’s also big for our program as we try to get back to an elite level.”
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech was definitively the best team on the court for three quarters against Tennessee State Thursday night, and overcame a malfunctioning shot clock and a late Tiger run to win its first Ohio Valley Conference game of the season, 69-59, in TSU’s Gentry Center. “Any time you can go into a tough environment and start the conference season with a road win, that’s huge,” said coach Kim Rosamond. “I thought we played well through the first three quarters and handled some challenging circumstances very well. We were disciplined, and we kept our composure.” Jordan Brock led the Golden Eagles with a game-high 14 points, and got started before the game even tipped. Due to the shot clock issue, TSU was charged with a technical foul, and Brock knocked down both attempts from the free throw line on her way to a seven-point first quarter. Aided by Abby Buckner and Anacia Wilkinson, Brock would help orchestrate a 7-0 run later in the period that provided TTU a 21-13 cushion after one.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – A smothering defensive effort in the fourth quarter allowed the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team to pull away from Tennessee Wesleyan, and light up the scoreboard, as the Golden Eagles moved to 5-0 in the Hooper Eblen Center with a 100-58 victory Saturday night. While TTU maintained a double-digit lead for the majority of the first three quarters, it was its full-court man defense in the fourth stanza that blew the game open. The pressure produced nine Tech steals and forced the Bulldogs into 11 second-half turnovers, which were converted into 18 points. “I thought the difference was on the defensive end,” said head coach Kim Rosamond. “We really ramped up our energy and effort, and I think pressing them for three quarters really started to wear on them. They started to get tired, and our depth showed up as a big positive for us.”
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team received major contributions from almost every player who stepped on the floor Friday night at Lipscomb, as the Golden Eagles notched their seventh win of the season by a score of 67-52. With that seventh victory, Tech has equaled its total from the 2017-18 campaign, and has matched the program’s best start in the nonconference slate since Bill Worrell’s team won seven non-league games in the 2004-05 regular season. If Tech can conclude its nonconference portion with an eighth win over Tennessee Wesleyan on December 29, it would be the best mark since Worrell’s club won nine in 1990-91.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With over 1,000 raucous kids from the Upper Cumberland in attendance, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team outlasted UNC Asheville in Tuesday’s matinee, 60-53, in a game that played out as a tale of two different halves. “I thought our first half was as good as we’ve played all year,” said head coach Kim Rosamond after saluting the home-court advantage created by the student population. “I didn’t like the way (the game) ended, how they made it this close, but this is a quality, quality win over a very good basketball team in UNC Asheville.” From a defensive standpoint, the first half was arguably the best of Rosamond’s tenure as TTU head coach.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team took on an Arkansas team that used a combination of hot shooting and suffocating defense to deal the Golden Eagles their third loss of the season on Tuesday night. “Arkansas was a difficult matchup for us,” said head coach Kim Rosamond. “We knew they were a very explosive offensive basketball team, but tonight, I thought the difference in the game was how tough and efficient they were on the defensive end.“ “Their size and length at the guard position really frustrated us. They guarded us extremely well, switched on a lot of screens on the perimeter, and made it very difficult for us to get open looks. They did such a good job of keeping our penetrators in front, and didn’t allow us to attack the rim and get to the free throw line.”
WICHITA, Kan. – The turnover counts were high, the shooting percentages were low, and the game play was physical from start to finish, but when the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team had to buckle down in the clutch, it did just that, and was rewarded with a 55-45 road victory over Wichita State. “For our team to go on the road and shoot 35 percent from the floor, 20 percent from (three-point range), 67 percent from the free throw line, and still find a way to win says a lot about the toughness and growth of this basketball team,” said coach Kim Rosamond. “I just thought it was a tough, gutsy effort.” The victory is Tech’s first over a team from the American Athletic Conference since the Golden Eagles took down the same Wichita State program, 54-48, back on December 22, 2015.
CHARLESTON, S.C. – In a game that played out a lot like a boxing match, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team sparred with Old Dominion through all four quarters in Sunday’s portion of the Charleston Southern Buccaneer Classic, but came up just short to the Monarchs by a score of 80-73. Anacia Wilkinson provided the major storyline for Tech, scoring a career-high 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting. The redshirt junior did much of her offensive damage early on, as she scored eight of her team’s 14 points in the first quarter and added seven more in the second to keep the Golden Eagles in the game in the first half. Wilkinson also ripped down five rebounds in the game, but focused largely on her defensive contributions in the second half, with three of her four blocked shots coming after halftime. The Houston, Texas native entered the CSU tournament tied for 25th nationally in blocks, and will presumably move up on that list with her shot-swatting performance on Sunday.
CHARLESTON, S.C. – It wasn’t always pretty for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team on Saturday afternoon – especially in the first half – but terrific free throw shooting and a strong second-half defensive effort made the difference, as Tech moved to 4-1 on the season with a 77-55 victory over Charleston Southern. Offensive struggles were the story for both teams in the first quarter, as the Golden Eagles and Buccaneers went a combined 9-of-41 from the field. Tech held its own, and managed an 18-18 tie with CSU thanks to a 12-for-13 effort from the free throw line (92.3 percent). The Golden Eagles’ success from the charity stripe was a theme throughout the game as they finished 30-of-39 for the contest (76.9 percent).
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Beating your old conference rival? Good. Being responsible for its first loss of the season? Great. Emerging victorious in the series for the first time in almost 14 years? It doesn’t get much better. The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team experienced all of those feelings firsthand as it held off a second-half rally from Middle Tennessee on Friday night to claim the program’s first win over the Blue Raiders since December 9, 2004.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Following some encouraging performances, as well as some moments of growth and maturation in its first road game of the season at Xavier, Tennessee Tech women’s basketball returns to Cookeville to host arguably the program’s biggest rival, Middle Tennessee, on Friday night at 6 p.m. One of the promising showings last Sunday came from guard Kesha Brady, who will be looking to build on her team-high 14 points against Xavier. The sophomore from Smyrna looked much more confident on both ends of the court in her second regular season game since an injury-shortened freshman season. She showed a consistent ability to drive the ball and draw fouls, and then made the Musketeers pay once she got to the free throw line (9-for-10). She also led the Golden Eagles’ defensive pressure with three of their 10 steals. Lacy Cantrell put together another excellent game to begin the season, recording her first career double-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot in 18 minutes of game action.
