She shot 47.2% from the field, 36.5% from 3-point range, and 82.3% from the free-throw line, all while playing a vital role in helping the Trojans advance to their first-ever NCAA Division II Tournament in 2023 and a return in 2024. Carter comes to Cookeville after a prolific career at Trevecca, leaving as the fourth leading scorer in all of NCAA Division II for the 2023-24 season and setting nearly all of Trevecca's NCAA D2 era game, season, and career records. She garnered Great Midwest Conference First Team and Championship All-Tournament team honors and was just recently named Second Team Academic All-American® by the College Sports Communicators (CSC). This award recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom.

HIGH SCHOOL: Carter enjoyed a legendary high school career for Coach Larry White at Macon County High School, as her team became a staple in the TSSAA state tournament during her time as a Tigerette. During her sophomore season, Macon County reached the state finals. As a senior, Carter was named TSSAA Class AA Miss Basketball and led her team to a 33-1 record and back to the semifinals of the state tournament, only to have their season cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – After weeks of work against their teammates, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team is probably ready to face a different opponent. Why not a Division I-level opponent? The Golden Eagles will get their chance to do that Tuesday night as they host Lipscomb for the first part of the Purple Palooza exhibition doubleheader at the Hooper Eblen Center. Tipoff is slated for 5:30 p.m. The Purple Palooza event begins at 4:30 p.m. with free trick-or-treating around the Eblen Center concourse with student groups, community groups and businesses and Tech athletic teams handing out candy. Admission to the game is free, but there will also be opportunities for fans to donate to the Cookeville Regional Medical Center Charitable Foundation as the NCAA allows teams to play exhibition contests against Division I opponents before the traditional start of the season as long as it is a charity-based event.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – A No. 4 projection in the Ohio Valley Conference preseason poll?

No, for head coach Kim Rosamond and the Tech roster, it’s a mission statement. After all, with six straight winning seasons – with double-digit OVC wins in each year at that – the road to the conference championship is coming through Cookeville as it has many times before.
