COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It was a different kind of banquet on Tuesday night for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team as the Golden Eagles announced their annual team awards. The usual dinner with a legion of loyal followers was pared down to a much more intimate yet casual event with the team and staff, a smaller setup as the team continues to follow COVID protocols. The evening ended with five players coming away with the team’s four awards.

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.

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

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. – When the Tennessee Tech women are hot from 3-point range, the Golden Eagles are pretty tough to beat.

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.

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.

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. Tech improves to 6-4, 4-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference, while Austin Peay drops to 7-5, 5-3 in the league.

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.”

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.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s amazing how much difference 48 hours can make. After a tough outing at Chattanooga to open the 2020-21 campaign on Friday, the Tennessee Tech women overcame a late deficit in the fourth quarter to top Jacksonville State 68-66 on Sunday in the Hooper Eblen Center. “We have the utmost respect for Jacksonville State and head coach Rick Pietri,” Tech head coach Kim Rosamond said. “Year-in and year-out, they are among the top teams in the league, and we knew this was just going to be a battle. The improvements that our team made were just really incredible. I’m just really proud of them and their effort. This was just a total team win with some just unbelievable individual performances.” Senior Kesha Brady topped her total from Friday by one point as she ended Sunday’s victory with 27 points and six boards over 39 of 40 minutes as she helped the Golden Eagles rally from a seven-point JSU advantage with 6:39 remaining. Brady was named the Special Olympics Player of the Game after the effort.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team started quickly and finished strong. It was the middle two stanzas, however, that made it a tough day for the Golden Eagles. As Tech shook off the rust of opening the season in mid-December, the Golden Eagles still gave Chattanooga a fight in a 76-65 loss on Friday afternoon. Senior guard Kesha Brady put her effort into overdrive as she collected 11 of her 26 points in the final quarter as Tech bounced back from a 21-point deficit. She narrowly missed a double-double as she pulled down a team-high eight boards in the contest.
