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.
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.
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.”
CHARLESTON, Ill. – No matter what happens on Saturday, the Tennessee Tech women's basketball team will be in Evansville for the Ohio Valley Conference tournament. That much is certain. But as the Golden Eagles travel to Eastern Illinois, the only uncertain thing is whether Tech will be the No. 3, 4 or 5 seed in the postseason tournament next week. All three remain in the realm of possibility, but objective No. 1 for the Golden Eagles is to earn the victory over the host Panthers. So, what could happen? The Golden Eagles will be playing in the second day of the tournament on Thursday, regardless of the result as the 4-5 and 3-6 matchups will play on Thursday at the Ford Center.
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – SIUE needed a win to keep its Ohio Valley Conference tournament hopes alive and the Cougars played like it. Tennessee Tech had a tough fourth quarter as the homestanding Cougars rallied from a 16-point deficit in the third quarter and held on to beat the Golden Eagles 63-61 on Thursday night at the Vadalabene Center. With the loss, Tech drops to 19-9, 11-6 in the OVC, while SIUE improves to 13-15, 8-9 in league play.
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. – By the time Tennessee Tech hosts the Morehead State women on Saturday night, it will be a month since the two teams squared off, but the Golden Eagles hope to make that earlier game a memory of the distant past. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. from the Hooper Eblen Center. Dylan Vazzano and Rob Schabert will provide the call on ESPN+ (subscription required), while Roger Ealey will deliver the action on 106.1 The Eagle. Saturday’s game is Senior Night with the Golden Eagle seniors honored during the evening.
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. – Despite a solid first quarter, Tennessee Tech women’s basketball was unable to keep up with Belmont’s red-hot offense Saturday night, as the Golden Eagles took their fourth Ohio Valley Conference loss, and fell inside the Eblen Center for the second time this year. With the loss, Tech (18-7, 10-4 OVC) settles for a split in its two matchups with Belmont (20-5, 13-1 OVC) this season, and moves into a three-way tie for second place with Morehead State and UT Martin.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s been almost exactly four years since an Ohio Valley Conference team had an opportunity to record a regular-season sweep of Belmont women’s basketball, but on Saturday night in the Hooper Eblen Center, Tennessee Tech will get its chance when the Golden Eagles and Bruins tip it up at 5:30 p.m.
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.
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.”
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.
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. – Another game, another step in the process. The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has enjoyed the program’s best start of the 21st century, winning 11 of its first 14 games and its first three in OVC play, a feat that not many people outside the Hooper Eblen Center saw coming. Picked to finish seventh in the preseason poll, Tech has a chance to write another chapter of the league’s most intriguing story on Saturday evening when it takes on Eastern Illinois at 5:30 p.m. in the Eblen Center.
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.
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.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It took a little while, but the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team eventually found its groove offensively, using hot shooting in the second half and excellent performances from bench players to beat Western Carolina 77-58 on Friday night. The victory makes Tech 3-1 on the young season, its best start since 2010-11, and gives the Golden Eagles back-to-back nonconference wins for the first time since December 2015. Coach Kim Rosamond was pleased with her team’s victory, but acknowledged there was plenty for her team to work on going into this weekend’s tournament at Charleston Southern.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Fresh off one of the biggest victories in recent program history, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team sets their sights on their final home game before almost a whole month away from the Hooper Eblen Center. The Western Carolina Catamounts will invade Cookeville for a date on Monday evening at 6 p.m., as TTU looks to get on a roll before its upcoming high-profile road trips. To put themselves in position to win on Monday, the Golden Eagles must avoid a letdown after an extremely emotional win over Middle Tennessee on Friday night.
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?
