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.

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.

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.

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.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Senior Night was a good one for the Tennessee Tech women on Saturday night as the Golden Eagles were able to hold off UT Martin, claiming a 61-51 victory to close out the regular season. With the win, Tech improves to 19-9, 14-4 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The 14 league wins is the most since the Golden Eagles won 15 in 2010-11 and the team’s highest regular-season finish since Tech tied for the regular-season championship in 2012-13.

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.
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A fast start for the Austin Peay made Saturday’s game challenging as the Tennessee Tech women but the Golden Eagles were able to slice into the APSU lead. The Govs held on 71-61 to claim the last regular-season OVC meeting between the two teams. Tech falls to 17-9 on the season, 12-4 in the conference.

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.

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. – It was a bit close for comfort on Saturday afternoon, but what was important for the Tennessee Tech women was that they were coming home with the victory.

The Golden Eagles (16-8, 11-3 OVC) remain in second place after the day’s action is through, trailing Belmont (16-7, 12-2 OVC) by a game. Austin Peay (17-6, 10-3 OVC) is a half-game back from the Golden Eagles, while Murray State (18-7, 10-4 OVC) is a game back. Eastern Illinois (8-6 OVC), UT Martin (6-7 OVC), Tennessee State (6-8 OVC) and SIUE (5-9 OVC) would round out the conference tournament field if the regular season ended today.
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.

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.

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.

COOKEVILLE – Through three quarters, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team had the upper hand on visiting Belmont on Saturday night. But in the final 10 minutes, the Bruins caught fire and went on a 15-point scoring run to claim a 58-49 victory over the Golden Eagles. With the loss, Belmont (13-7, 9-2 Ohio Valley Conference) takes a half-game lead in first place over the Golden Eagles (14-8, 9-3 OVC).

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. While the host Eagles did make things a little interesting at times, MSU (1-20, 0-11 OVC) was unable to cut the deficit back under single digits, getting as close as 13 in the second half. Tech led by 24 with 2:43 remaining in the contest before the home Eagles made a small run to close out the contest.
MOREHEAD, Ky. – The Tennessee Tech women are on a roll, winning all but one game in the month of January, rifling off six straight wins and 11 of the last 13. Now that the Golden Eagles are in the back nine of the Ohio Valley Conference slate with the postseason tournament in Evansville a month away, it’s crunch time. No opponent can be overlooked and with a Morehead State team inviting the Golden Eagles in for a Thursday matinee – the start time changing to 11 a.m. Thursday for weather concerns – Tech certainly can’t just kick back and relax.
BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Last week was a great week for Anna Jones as the Jackson native put up big numbers in a pair of victories against Eastern Illinois and Austin Peay.

MARTIN, Tenn. – Monday was a great homecoming for Anna Jones as the Jackson native put on a show, leading the Tennessee Tech women to their sixth straight win and 11th in the last 13, topping UT Martin 67-56 at the Elam Center.

Tech’s towering presence of Anna Walker and Mackenzie Coleman also had great games – Walker had 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting with a 3-pointer and three made free-throws, while Coleman was 5-for-8 from the floor with a 3-pointer and two made free-throws for 13 points.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It was a fight to the finish on Saturday night, but when the dust settled in the Eblen Center, the Tennessee Tech women topped Austin Peay and cut the Ohio Valley Conference logjam at the top to just the Golden Eagles and Belmont as Tech topped Austin Peay 59-56. Anna Jones led Tech (12-7, 7-2 OVC) with 16 points and almost collected her second consecutive double-double, but finished the night with nine rebounds.
