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.

Tech women knock off Jacksonville State in OVC tourney opener

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.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Survive and advance. That’s the simple mantra for any basketball team when you get into tournament time. The regular season is done, now a loss means your season could very well be done. 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. Dylan Vazzano and Thomas Corhern will handle broadcast duties on 106.1 The Eagle, while Bob Belvin and Helen Williams will take on the broadcast for ESPN+ (subscription required).

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The defense came through for the Tennessee Tech women on Thursday night as the Golden Eagles bounced back from two straight losses to take down Austin Peay 62-57 in the Eblen Center. The win also gives Tech 12 conference wins, tying the 2018-19 Golden Eagles for the most OVC wins in the Kim Rosamond era. “We really needed this one tonight,” Rosamond said. “Our kids needed to get back on the right track. We had been playing really, really well, but then we had two really tough games against Belmont. Our word for tonight was ‘resilient.’ I thought our kids were really resilient tonight against a really tough, physical, scrappy Austin Peay team. It was a great comeback win.”

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).

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.

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.

Defensive effort leads Golden Eagle women to victory over Eastern Illinois

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – When the Tennessee Tech women and Eastern Illinois met in January, it was a heated battle for much of the contest. Saturday, Tech took the lessons learned from the previous meeting and shut down a talented offensive squad. An 11-point run in the second quarter put Tech ahead and the Golden Eagles never looked back on Saturday as Tech defeated Eastern Illinois 62-45, picking up its third straight win and eighth out of the last ten games. The Golden Eagles improved to 12-6, 10-5 in the Ohio Valley Conference as Tech moved into fourth place in the league standings. Eastern Illinois dropped into the current No. 8 spot with a 9-12 record, 7-9 in conference play.

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.

MARTIN, Tenn. – UT Martin is the top team in the Ohio Valley Conference standings. There’s no debate on this – the Skyhawks have been toppled just once in league competition this season, a 72-67 loss at Jacksonville State back on December 30. Only one other team has knocked off the Skyhawks this season – No. 1-ranked Louisville. Twice. While this may seem to be an albatross to most teams, the Tennessee Tech women are standing their ground. The Golden Eagles have been in this situation before, breaking Belmont’s 47-game OVC winning streak a couple seasons back. In their illustrious history, the Tech women have also been on the other side of the equation, standing as the team with the target on their back. No question, Saturday’s game is a very important one for the Golden Eagles.

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. – Since Morehead State last played Tennessee Tech in the opening week of the 2021 year, the Eagles experienced some lows as well as some highs, breaking a three-game losing streak with a three-game winning streak to balance things out.  After a decisive loss to Ohio Valley Conference front-runner UT Martin last Saturday, MSU was idle on Thursday as its game against Jacksonville State was postponed. But Morehead State will come into the Hooper Eblen Center ready to take on Tennessee Tech to try to break up the Golden Eagles’ recent run of success of four wins in the last five games.

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.

JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – After a long week on the road, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team ran into a determined Jacksonville State squad on Monday night. The homestanding Gamecocks shot the ball at a scorching rate, and while Tech rallied back late, JSU came up on the winning end, topping Tech 69-58 at Pete Mathews Coliseum. While the Golden Eagles were able to frustrate the Gamecocks early, forcing a few JSU turnovers, once Jacksonville State squad settled down, they shot the ball at a red-hot rate, going 6-of-13 from the field in the first quarter and only improving from there. The Gamecocks were 8-for-15 in the second and 7-for-9 in the third. JSU finished the contest shooting 50.9 percent from the field, including 7-for-15 from 3-point range and 6-for-11 from the free-throw line.

JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – It’s only been a little under a month and a half, but it seems like ages since the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team last took on Jacksonville State back in December 13. The Golden Eagles won that game by a slim 68-66 advantage in the Hooper Eblen Center, but that was only Tech’s second game of the season after a series of COVID-related schedule changes. Even as the Golden Eagles look to take the regular-season sweep on Monday night at Pete Mathews Coliseum, the contest takes on much different stakes than when they last met. Tipoff for the game is scheduled for 6 p.m. Roger Ealey will provide the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while the game will also be broadcast on ESPN+ (subscription required).

MURRAY, Ky. – As the public address announcer at Murray State accidentally announced the wrong name for the forward starter for the Tennessee Tech women instead of Mackenzie Coleman, the senior just laughed off the error. The Racer fans, however, certainly remembered her presence as Coleman helped set the stage for a 75-58 rout over Murray State at CFSB Center on Saturday. Tech improves to 7-4 overall, 5-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference, while Murray State saw its record evened at 7-7, 4-5 in the league.

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. 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.

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.

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.

There’s not much pretty about it other than it was a W. I’m proud of the way they were able to dig deep. We made plays when we had to make plays. We won the game at the free-throw line."

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.
