News mentions
DALLAS, Texas to HOUSTON, Texas – As the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team studied their scouting reports during the voyage from Dallas to Houston for Sunday’s second-round matchup in the WNIT against the Houston Cougars, head coach Kim Rosamond and her staff weren’t relaxing on the nearly four-hour trip. They studied film, took notes, created game plans, figured out travel, food and lodging – and that’s just scratching the surface.
HOUSTON, Texas – Tennessee Tech wasn’t going down without a fight. After all, throughout the course of the 2021-22 season, the Golden Eagle women had never backed down against tough odds, even against opponents from the upper echelon of the sport. The Golden Eagles had an opportunity. If you look at the final score, it’s misleading. The eight-point margin that Houston held on the final tally was from only its third lead of the game, boosted by a 3:17 scoring drought for Tech and nine unanswered points to take a 63-55 victory over the Golden Eagles in the second round of the WNIT.
HOUSTON, Texas – With their first win in the WNIT under their belts, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has loaded up the bus and made the transition from Dallas to Houston. The Golden Eagles (21-14) will go from one American Athletic Conference opponent in SMU to another in Houston facing the sorority chapter of Phi Slama Jama in the postseason tournament’s second round. Tipoff on Sunday is scheduled for 2 p.m. There will be no video broadcast from Houston, but Dylan Vazzano will be live on the call on 106.1 The Eagle and on TTUsports.com.
DALLAS, Texas – If there were still any bad memories from the Ohio Valley Conference championship game lingering around, the Tennessee Tech women certainly did their best to exorcise those demons on Thursday night. The Golden Eagles came out on a mission and put together a strong effort on both sides of the ball to claim a 73-62 victory over SMU in the opening round of the WNIT. Tech (21-10) advances to the second round and will load up the bus and cruise up the Texas highways to Houston on Sunday with the game slated for a 2 p.m. start.
DALLAS, Texas – The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has landed in Dallas and now it’s back to work for the Golden Eagle squad as they prepare for the first round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. This time of year, it’s all about survive and advance and that’s the mission Thursday night as the Golden Eagles enter Moody Coliseum to take on the SMU Mustangs. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. The game will be streamed live on SMU’s athletics website.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – When you have as tough of a game as the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team had in the Ohio Valley Conference championship game on Saturday at the Ford Center, sometimes you just have to shrug it off, look forward and work toward tomorrow. In a game that started as a defensive slugfest with points at a premium, Belmont pulled away in the second half as the Golden Eagles went cold, hitting just one of 11 shot attempts in the fourth quarter – a 3-pointer by Maaliya Owens with 12 seconds left standing as the only successful try in the period.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Murray State led for the majority of the game. Tennessee Tech led when it mattered. A furious effort in the fourth quarter – outscoring the Racers 24-11 in the final 10 minutes – proved to be the push the Golden Eagles needed to send Murray State to the OVC exit, claiming a 68-62 victory over the Racers on Friday in the Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championship semifinals. The Golden Eagles, winning their 20th game of the season to give the program its 29th 20-plus-win season in its 52 seasons, will take on Belmont on Saturday. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. from the Ford Center. Dylan Vazzano and Frank Harrell will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while Connor Onion and Helen Williams will broadcast the game on ESPN+ (subscription required).
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Tennessee Tech women rang in the New Year with a thrilling victory over Murray State at the CFSB Center. A week later, the Racers claimed the upper hand early and never looked back in a lopsided win at the Eblen Center. On Friday, it’ll be a showdown at the Ford Center as Murray State and the Tennessee Tech women will square off for the third time, the victor earning a spot in the championship game of the Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championships in Evansville, Ind.
BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – With the regular-season chase in the rearview mirror and the Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championships presented by TicketSmarter ahead, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team claimed three spots on the league’s all-conference teams. Graduate guard/forward Anna Jones was named to the first team, graduate forward Mackenzie Coleman was named to the second team and sophomore transfer forward Anna Walker was named to the All-Newcomer team. The teams were voted on by the league’s coaches and sports information contacts.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – When Tennessee Tech and Tennessee State met back in December, the contest was decided by a last-second heave from Gia Adams as time expired. When the two teams met Thursday night, the Golden Eagle women were determined not to see that happen again. The Tech women looked like a team on a mission and used several runs to break away and never look back, collecting a 75-49 victory over Tennessee State.
In sports, we often talk about the power of one: the power of one player to impact a teammate or a team, the power of one coach to transform a player’s life, or even the power of one referee’s whistle to change the momentum of a game. As the head coach who has had a behind-the-scenes view to the last six seasons of Tennessee Tech women’s basketball, I was to take this time to talk about the power of one senior class that helped revive and reinvigorate TTU WBB. Kesha Brady, Jordan Brock, Mackenzie Coleman, Megan Clark, Anna Jones and Grace Pelphrey have all left an undeniable mark on Cookeville, Tennessee Tech and all who love this program.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team’s regular-season comes to a close on Saturday, it’s a bittersweet moment. It’s the time to honor one of the most prolific classes in Golden Eagle history, recognizing their exploits, celebrating their victories and extending the gratitude for representing the Purple and Gold. But, at the same time, the road is not yet complete. In addition to Saturday’s regular-season finale against UT Martin – tipping off at 5:30 p.m. from the Eblen Center – the Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championships in Evansville, Ind., are next week, and there’s still the opportunity for postseason basketball after that.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s the last week of the regular season – can’t hold anything back. As the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team enters its final two games of the Ohio Valley Conference slate, there’s plenty to strive for. The Golden Eagles (17-9, 12-4 OVC) still have a chance at tying Belmont for a share of the OVC title, standing two games back from the Bruins. Belmont (18-7, 14-2 OVC) is at Murray State on Thursday and hosts Tennessee State on Saturday. Murray State (20-7, 12-4 OVC), who is currently tied with Tech in the standings, also travels to Southeast Missouri on Saturday. Austin Peay, just a game back at 11-5 in the conference, is at SIUE and Eastern Illinois. The bright side, Tech is assured of at least one merit bye at next week’s OVC Basketball Championship as no matter what happens the rest of the way as the Golden Eagles can drop no lower than fourth in the standings. That’s not to say the Tech women are satisfied with that – far from it as the Golden Eagles are still looking toward raising another banner in the Eblen Center.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team wrapped up one heck of a present for head coach Kim Rosamond’s birthday, fighting back from an early deficit and working toward a 65-55 victory over Southeast Missouri on Thursday night. The win – Tech’s 12th of the Ohio Valley Conference campaign – ties Rosamond’s seasons in 2018-19 and 2020-21 for 12 league victories. The Golden Eagle head coach has three games remaining in the regular season to try to top that mark.
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – It’s an end of an era as the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team plays its final game at the Dunn Center on Saturday afternoon as Austin Peay prepares to depart the Ohio Valley Conference for its new home in the Atlantic Sun. The Golden Eagles will be looking to end the conference series between the two teams with a win as Tech tries to make its case for the OVC championship. Tipoff for Saturday’s game is scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. Dylan Vazzano will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while the game will be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required). The game also marks the last road game for the Golden Eagles (17-8, 12-3 OVC) in the regular season. The next time Tech will play away from the Hooper Eblen Center will be the OVC Basketball Championships in Evansville, Ind., as the Golden Eagles host Tennessee State and UT Martin in the final week of the scheduled campaign.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s down to the last couple weeks of the Ohio Valley Conference’s regular-season slate. Four games for the Tennessee Tech women and still so much still up in the air. Fortunately for the Golden Eagles, three of the four are at home at the Hooper Eblen Center. However, it won’t be a simple game in any of the remaining contests. Thursday, the Tech women host a Southeast Missouri team that came within one possession of beating league leader Belmont. Saturday, the Golden Eagles travel to Clarksville to take on an Austin Peay squad that handed the Bruins a consecutive loss after Tech was victorious in the Curb Event Center. Next week, the Golden Eagles host a Tennessee State squad that beat them to open conference play, then host a UT Martin squad that has finally found its footing and is surging in the standings. So what does that mean? Every game is important.
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – With just five games remaining in the regular season, the Ohio Valley Conference race continues to be a tight one with three games separating the top five teams. The Tennessee Tech women will try to do their part to stay toward the top of the standings as the Golden Eagles take on SIUE on Saturday. Tipoff from First Community Arena is set for 1 p.m.
CHARLESTON, Ill. – Just like the first meeting between the two teams, Thursday’s tilt between the Tennessee Tech and Eastern Illinois women was a battle. Both teams went back and forth with eight ties and six lead changes, and while the Golden Eagles were on top for 29 of the 40 minutes, it took a 10-1 run midway through the fourth quarter to finally create some separation between the two teams as Tech took a 65-56 victory at Lantz Arena. The Golden Eagles improve to 15-8 overall, 10-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference.
CHARLESTON, Ill. – The Ohio Valley Conference race is heating up and with six games to play in the regular season, it’s all about making that final push and locking down one of the two byes in the conference tournament in Evansville. The Tennessee Tech women are certainly well aware of how tight the league standings are. After a tough loss on Saturday to Belmont, the Bruins currently have a one-game lead in the OVC at 10-2. Tech stands at 9-3, a half-game up on Austin Peay (8-3). Murray State (8-4) and Eastern Illinois (8-4) are just a game back, making this weekend’s games for the Golden Eagles important as they try to build separation. It all starts on Thursday as the Golden Eagles head to Charleston, Ill., to take on the Eastern Illinois Panthers (13-10 overall). Tipoff is set for 5 p.m.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – In the navy corner, with seven Ohio Valley Conference regular-season titles, six OVC tournament crowns and six NCAA appearances, a 2021-22 record of 12-7, 8-2 in the OVC – from Nashville – Belmont. In the white corner, with 18 OVC regular-season titles, nine OVC tournament championships and 10 NCAA appearances, a 2021-22 record of 14-7, 9-2 in the OVC – in their home arena in Cookeville – Tennessee Tech. Let’s get ready to rumble.
MOREHEAD, Ky. – The winning streak continued on Thursday morning as the Tennessee Tech women got double-digit scoring performances from five players to top Morehead State 87-69. The Golden Eagles (14-7, 9-2 Ohio Valley Conference) won their seventh straight game and 12 of their last 14. Tech soared out early, shooting 75 percent from the floor in the first quarter, to take a commanding 28-13 lead through the first 10 minutes.
