Tech women fall to UTM in semifinal but look to the future
Tech women fall to UTM in semifinal but look to the future

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – As tough as it was for the Tennessee Tech women to leave the court after Friday’s 69-56 loss to UT Martin in the Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championships in the semifinal round, there was little reason to hang their heads. The loss stung, sure, especially after a thrilling victory over Jacksonville State the day before, and as the Golden Eagles made a push to unseat the top-seeded Skyhawks, looking forward to the future was probably the last thing anyone on the Tech bench hoped to do. But make no mistake, while it was UT Martin celebrating its victory on Friday and advancing to the title game on Saturday, there is a lot for the Tennessee Tech squad to look forward to.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Last season’s Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championships haunted the Tennessee Tech women. Trying to overcome a grief-filled moment and coming up short with Southeast Missouri hitting a buzzer-beater in overtime held heavy in their hearts and minds. Hardly a week later, everything changed with the COVID-19 pandemic. So with a full year of all of this weighing on the Golden Eagles, Thursday, they had enough. Tech opened up the quarterfinal contest in the 2021 OVC Basketball Championships like a team possessed and hardly looked back as the fifth-seeded Golden Eagles took a 79-64 victory over No. 4-seed Jacksonville State, heralding its exit from the OVC in women’s basketball.

That’s the situation that lies ahead for the Tennessee Tech women on Thursday as the fifth-seeded Golden Eagles take on No. 4-seed Jacksonville State in the quarterfinal round of the Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championships. Tipoff is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start at Evansville’s Ford Center.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – A back-and-forth battle to the end, the Tennessee Tech women fell on the short end of Saturday’s 68-67 loss to Murray State. Macey Turley scored 11 points in the final 10 minutes as she was 4-for-5 from the field and 3-for-4 from long range Katelyn Young tied the game with 45 seconds remaining as she grabbed her own rebound and got the second-chance bucket. Jordan Brock missed a jumper on the other end of the court, then Kesha Brady was called for a foul, sending Manna Mensah to the line with three seconds remaining.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team looks forward to both the regular-season finale on Saturday against Murray State, as well as next week’s Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championships in Evansville, Ind., it’s also an opportunity for the Golden Eagles to look back and reflect on the senior members of the 2020-21 team and those wrapping up their Tech careers. Abby Buckner, Taylor Lamb and manager Blake Ledbetter will be honored following Saturday’s season finale against the Racers. The two players saw their Tech careers come to an end from injuries last year and were unable to compete this season. More on their role with the team this season and the adaptations they have made in their transition can be found here. Even though there’s a lot to celebrate on Saturday, there’s still a lot to be decided on the court. Tipoff against the Racers is scheduled for 5 p.m. Roger Ealey will provide the radio call for 106.1 The Eagle, while Dylan Vazzano and Michael Cooper will handle broadcast duties on ESPN+ (subscription required).

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – If there’s one positive in playing the same opponent in consecutive games, you already know who you’re facing. You know what worked and what didn’t. It doesn’t make anything easier, but you know what to expect. That’s the case Tuesday night as the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team faces Belmont at the Hooper Eblen Center to open the final week of the regular season. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. Roger Ealey will handle the radio duties on 106.1 The Eagle, while Dylan Vazzano and Michael Cooper will tackle the broadcast on ESPN+ (subscription required).

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jordan Brock tried her hardest to keep Tennessee Tech’s four-game winning streak alive and stretch it further against Belmont on Saturday. The senior knocked down seven 3-pointers and collected her second 30-point game of the season. But a hot-shooting Belmont squad was able to pull away in the second half to take a 73-61 victory at the Curb Event Center in the first of back-to-back games against the Bruins. Tech will host Belmont at the Hooper Eblen Center on Tuesday night at 6 p.m.

Leaving their mark: Buckner, Lamb end Tech careers as winners
Leaving their mark: Buckner, Lamb end Tech careers as winners

When Kim Rosamond was named head coach at Tennessee Tech on March 31, 2016, she understood one of the keys to restoring the program’s winning ways would be her staff’s ability to attract the state’s top players back to Cookeville. Rosamond had spent more than a decade coaching and recruiting up and down I-40, and she knew the state of Tennessee had long been a hotbed for high school girls basketball.  She also understood the importance of making a statement early on the recruiting trail. Abby Buckner and Taylor Lamb would be cornerstones to the new staff’s first two signing classes at Tennessee Tech, and those first signing classes would quickly put the Golden Eagles on the winning path. Both came from successful high school programs in Tennessee, and both were what Rosamond believed were the kind of “winners” the program needed.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Since Belmont joined the Ohio Valley Conference, there aren’t many teams who have been able to beat them, posting a 120-27 record in league play, posting an incredible .816 winning percentage.  In the last five years alone, the Bruins have lost only seven OVC contests – including four on the road with three losses at UT Martin. Before this season, Belmont had only lost once at the Curb Event Center during the span – a 77-72 loss to Tennessee Tech on January 5, 2019.  And that was it – until this season. After Belmont had its program shut down from the COVID pandemic, the Bruins went from December 20 to January 19 without playing. That first game back ended up a 72-66 loss to Murray State at the Curb Event Center. Southeast Missouri also found paydirt in Nashville on Feb. 9, topping the Bruins 70-66.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – When the Tennessee Tech women are hot from 3-point range, the Golden Eagles are pretty tough to beat. For the fourth-straight game, Tech knocked down double-digit treys – 13 in Thursday’s contest, one shy of the season-high of 14 – as the Golden Eagles cruised to a 68-52 victory over Tennessee State. Jordan Brock was on fire, hitting five of her seven 3-point tries. The senior ended the night 7-of-10 from the field and 2-for-2 at the free-throw line to pace all scorers with 21 points. Megan Clark knocked down three 3-pointers out of four tries, while Maaliya Owens drained two, including one at the halftime buzzer. Clark was Tech’s other double-digit scorer in the contest, posting 12 points on the night.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women are playing well, winning eight of their last 10 games and making a push for one of the top seeds in the Ohio Valley Conference basketball tournament, which begins in two weeks in Evansville, Ind.

The Golden Eagles will be looking to avoid any slip ups on Thursday as the two teams square off in Nashville at the Gentry Center, scheduled for a 5 p.m. tip.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team was clicking on all cylinders on Thursday night as the Golden Eagles dominated visiting SIUE, claiming an 81-42 victory at the Hooper Eblen Center. Tech improves to 11-6 overall, 9-5 in Ohio Valley Conference play. “I’m really proud of the effort and discipline the girls showed tonight, especially after coming off a really emotional win on Saturday (over UT Martin),” said Tech head coach Kim Rosamond. “They showed intensity with the way they just came out , did their job and just played extremely hard. There were a lot of good things tonight.” Sophomore Maaliya Owens had a career night, setting new marks in scoring with 19 points and rebounds with seven. She was 7-for-15 from the floor and 5-for-12 from 3-point range as she led all scorers.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – While the excitement of the thrilling victory over Ohio Valley Conference leader UT Martin hasn’t faded just yet, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team knows there’s still a lot more to do. With SIUE coming into the Hooper Eblen Center on Thursday night, the Golden Eagles can’t back down yet. The visiting Cougars are the only OVC team in program history to hold a winning record over Tech, but the Golden Eagles have made efforts to reverse that trend in the last three seasons. Tipoff for Thursday’s game is scheduled for 5 p.m. Roger Ealey will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while Dylan Vazzano and Michael Cooper will handle broadcast duties on ESPN+ (subscription required).

MARTIN, Tenn. – The old Yogi Berra saying goes, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” Tennessee Tech proved the adage true on Saturday. UT Martin went on small runs and the Golden Eagles found ways to stand strong and bounce back. Despite trailing by 12 early in the fourth quarter, the Golden Eagles weren’t backing down. But something clicked in the fourth quarter. A fantastic all-around team effort, led by a thrilling effort from Jordan Brock, saw Tech hand UT Martin its second Ohio Valley Conference loss of the season with a dramatic 77-73 victory on Saturday in the Elam Center.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Turnovers plagued the Tennessee Tech women all night long on Thursday, but the Golden Eagles just kept finding ways to endure and come back. With 50 seconds remaining, Tech tied the game after coming back from a 10-point deficit not even five minutes earlier. But with 22 seconds left, the turnover was costly. As LaTrese Saine stripped the ball away during a transition from Mackenzie Coleman to Jordan Brock, all Tech could do was foul and try to get the ball back. Despite a tremendous effort, the Golden Eagles saw Southeast Missouri escape with a 59-55 victory Thursday night at the Show Me Center.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – It’s an important week for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team as the Golden Eagles hit the road to Cape Girardeau to take on Southeast Missouri on Thursday, then Tech heads to UT Martin for its lone contest against the league-leading Skyhawks this season. Tipoff from the Show Me Center is slated for 5 p.m. on Thursday. Dylan Vazzano will provide the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while the game will also be broadcast on ESPN+ (subscription required). Tech (9-5, 7-4 Ohio Valley Conference) has won five of the last six games and currently stands tied with SEMO (9-7, 7-4 OVC) in fourth place in the league standings. UT Martin (11-3, 10-1 OVC), Belmont (8-4, 5-2 OVC) and Austin Peay (9-5, 7-3 OVC) currently hold the top three spots.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team returned back from Richmond, Ky., on January 9, head coach Kim Rosamond gathered the troops in the back of the bus, determined that the Golden Eagles were going to bounce back from a frustrating loss to the Colonels. “That was a tough weekend,” she said. “We were 0-2 on that road trip and we left Eastern Kentucky very, very disappointed. When we got back into Cookeville, I went to the back of the bus and told them if we could play as hard as we played against them, we would fix the execution piece.” In the five games since, it looks like they may be on the right path. In the span since, Tech has lost once, pulling together four wins. That includes a decisive win on Thursday as the Golden Eagles powered their way to a 74-58 victory against that same Eastern Kentucky team in the Hooper Eblen Center.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It hasn't been that long since the Tennessee Tech women faced Eastern Kentucky. Just four games and 17 days sit in between the last meeting, but the Golden Eagles still have a crystal-clear memory of that last meeting. The two teams will face off again on Thursday night at the Hooper Eblen Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. The game is now a single contest after the men's contest has been postponed until February 15 as the Colonel men enter COVID protocols.

MURRAY, Ky. – After a victorious return to Cookeville Thursday night following a 66-61 victory over Austin Peay, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team will load up the bus once again on Saturday as the Golden Eagles continue their three-game road trip with a visit to Murray State. Tipoff on Saturday at the CFSB Center is slated for 4:30 p.m. Roger Ealey will provide the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while the game will also be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required) with Jeremy Rose providing the call. Murray State enters the contest with a 7-6 record, 4-4 in the Ohio Valley, but the last two games for the Racers are big wins. First, the Racers knocked off Belmont 72-66 – the program’s first win over the Bruins since Belmont joined the OVC in the 2012-13 season and only Belmont’s second OVC loss at home (Tech defeating the Bruins in the 2018-19 campaign at the Curb Event Center is the other).

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – When the outside shots weren’t falling, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team pounded the paint instead. With a gutsy effort in the fourth quarter, the Golden Eagles rallied from a 51-46 after three quarters and outscored Austin Peay 20-10 in the final 10 minutes to take a 66-61 victory in the Dunn Center on Thursday night.

Austin Peay comes into the contest on Thursday with a 7-4 record, 5-2 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Governors had a quick start in the league winning its first five games in league play, knocking off Murray State, Eastern Kentucky, Tennessee State, SIUE and Eastern Illinois in succession.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It was a dominant performance for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team on Saturday night as the Golden Eagles cleared their bench for an 83-34 victory over visiting Tennessee State. “I’m proud of our kids and proud of their effort,” said Tech head coach Kim Rosamond. “It was a really good team win. It was a good way to bounce back from a really tough road weekend last weekend at Morehead State and Eastern Kentucky. “While we would have loved to play Belmont on Thursday night, we really needed some time to work on ourselves, especially during this COVID season. Practice time has been very difficult to find, so being able to get in here for three days and really work on, first of all, defense, since we were not pleased with our defensive effort last weekend. We also haven’t been shooting the ball well.”

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – After a tough week on the road, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team is ready to get back in action in front of their home fans. The Golden Eagles will get that opportunity on Saturday as they host Tennessee State. Tipoff against the Lady Tigers is scheduled for 5 p.m. Roger Ealey will provide the radio call on 106.1 The Eagle, while Dylan Vazzano and Michael Cooper will cover the game via streaming on ESPN+ (subscription required). Tennessee State, under the direction of first-year head coach Ty Evans, has had a rough go of it so far, posting a 0-8 record, 0-6 in the Ohio Valley. Despite hosting three players who are averaging double figures, the Lady Tigers have only had one game this season that ended in a single-digit result with an 88-83 loss to Georgia State in overtime.

RICHMOND, Ky. – The difference statistically between Tennessee Tech and Eastern Kentucky pretty much came down to one thing on Saturday afternoon – the Colonels got to the free-throw line and the Golden Eagles didn’t. As Eastern Kentucky pulled away on runs, Tech responded chipping away and chipping away, even climbing back within one with 8:37 remaining in the contest. But as the Colonels started seeing the charity stripe more and more in the waning seconds, EKU was able to inflate its lead to the final margin of 73-65. The defeat spoiled Tech’s first two double-doubles of the season as senior Mackenzie Coleman grabbed her eighth career double-double and junior Anna Jones tacking on her first. Coleman led the Golden Eagles with 15 points and 10 boards, while Jones had 12 points and 10 rebounds.

RICHMOND, Ky. – If there's any team in the Ohio Valley Conference that is gunning for the Tennessee Tech women, Eastern Kentucky probably fits that bill. The Golden Eagles have taken the last four meetings and Tech owns a 70-28 record in the all-time series. With the Colonels reversing their trends of the past few seasons with a 4-5 start, 3-2 in the Ohio Valley, Saturday's contest could be an interesting matchup.

MOREHEAD, Ky. – Even when Morehead State went on a few runs, Tennessee Tech kept finding ways to climb back. Thursday’s game came down to the wire, but the final Morehead stretch came late and even some last-second heroics from Jada Guinn and Kesha Brady weren’t enough to knot the game once more. The homestanding Eagles topped Tech 65-62 on Thursday night at Johnson Arena, but the Golden Eagles (4-3, 2-2 Ohio Valley Conference) won’t have long to dwell on the loss as they travel up the road to Eastern Kentucky on Saturday to finish Tech’s Death Valley swing.

MOREHEAD, Ky. – When the Tennessee Tech women tip off on Thursday afternoon at Morehead State, it will be the first game since December 19 for the homestanding Eagles. Holiday aside, the extended break saw a game against Bellarmine canceled and a contest against SIUE postponed. Now, nearly 18 days later, they’ll entertain the Golden Eagles. Tipoff on Wednesday is slated for 3 p.m. Central time. Roger Ealey will provide the call for 106.1 The Eagle, while Jack Kizer will handle play-by-play duties for ESPN+ (subscription required).

CHARLESTON, Ill. – There were certainly plenty of moments where Saturday’s game looked in doubt, but don’t tell that to sophomore Maaliya Owens. In the fourth quarter alone, Owens scored nine of her 16 points, helping to propel the Tennessee Tech women from a 15-point deficit nearing the midpoint of the third quarter to a 72-67 victory over Eastern Illinois on Saturday afternoon at Lantz Arena.

CHARLESTON, Ill. – It’s time to take the show back out on the road. The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball spent almost all of December in the friendly confines of the Hooper Eblen Center, only playing once on the road in the Golden Eagles’ season opener at Chattanooga. On Saturday, they’ll hit the road once again as Tech heads to Eastern Illinois. Due to guidelines issued by the state of Illinois, fans will not be allowed at Saturday’s game. The game, set to tip off at 1 p.m., will be broadcast on ESPN+ (subscription required) with Rob Calhoun and Rameen Karsbassloon handling play-by-play and analyst duties.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – When a team is shooting as hot as Southeast Missouri was on Wednesday night, even when Tennessee Tech was doing the right things, it was overshadowed. The Golden Eagles saw their three-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday in the Hooper Eblen Center, falling 79-70 to the visiting Redhawks. Tech (3-2, 1-1 Ohio Valley Conference) won’t have time to dwell on the defeat long as they return to action on Saturday at Eastern Illinois for a 1 p.m. contest.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – How things change in just a matter of time. The last time Tennessee Tech and Southeast Missouri faced off in women’s basketball, the Cookeville and Putnam County area was hardly 48 hours removed from a devastating tornado. A week later, the COVID-19 pandemic made its early moves into our normal day-to-day routine and things have hardly been the same since. Now, over nine months later, the two teams take each other again as Ohio Valley Conference action fills out the rest of the Golden Eagle slate. Tipoff Wednesday is scheduled for 5 p.m. on Wednesday at the Hooper Eblen Center.

Brock ended the game with 22 points as she helped lead the Golden Eagles to a 73-59 victory over Western Kentucky on Sunday in a game that was a quick change after Saturday’s opponent, Samford, had to cancel as the team entered COVID protocols.

50 years of Tennessee Tech Women's Basketball -- Cassity, Burgess Hastings set the stage for early success

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With the first year finished and the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team officially off the ground, there were many players who were helping the program take flight. From the span of 1973 to 1978, the names Pam Cassity and Gayle Burgess Hastings shine among the brightest. That span saw three Tennessee College Women’s Sports Federation state championships, three AIAW regional crowns and four AIAW national tournament appearances. That five-year run for the Tech women were a legendary one as the Golden Eagles went 26-5 in 1973-74, 27-5 in 1974-75, 28-2 in 1975-76, 28-8 in 1976-77 and 19-14 in 1977-78.

50 years of Tennessee Tech Women's Basketball -- kicking off the celebration

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Once upon a time, a young girl picked up a basketball. From those first dribbles and shots, something clicked. Something told this girl that she too wanted to play this game. It grew into a love of the game, a competitive spirit and much, much more. Fifty years ago, Marynell Meadors, a recent graduate from Middle Tennessee, saw an opportunity – give young women the opportunity to play the game, to learn and grow from it and create something that could become not only special to themselves, but to the campus and its community. The seeds were planted all those long years ago in Memorial Gym. Time has passed and the seeds sprouted, blossomed into something greater than what was probably envisioned.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – To say the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has been blessed with some tremendous guards in its 50-year history would be an understatement. The Golden Eagles could be adding another record-breaking scorer to the mix as Tech Head Coach Kim Rosamond announced on Wednesday morning the signing of 5-8 guard Harley Paynter.  Kentucky has been fertile recruiting ground for Tech over the last few years, and the Boyd County High School sharpshooter will join current Tech standouts Mackenzie Coleman, Jordan Brock and Maaliya Owens as players who have traveled from the Bluegrass State to wear Purple and Gold since Rosamond and her staff arrived in 2016.
