COLUMBIA, S.C. – With Tennessee Tech’s 12th appearance in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament in the rearview, the Golden Eagles close the books on what has been an incredible season. After all, that’s the facet to look at following Friday’s first round game against the top-seeded South Carolina Gamecocks. With a 108-48 loss to the defending national champions, yes, there’s disappointment. When wouldn’t there be as a season comes to a close, especially with an incredible group of people who have gone through so much and lifted each other up to new heights? As Tech head coach Kim Rosamond noted in the post-game press conference, it took the defending national champions to end the Golden Eagles’ impressive 17-game winning streak.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – It’s hard to beat a team three times in the same season, much less twice on their home turf. Southern Indiana might have had the fans at their back, but the top-seeded Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has been there in hostile environments. Instead, the Golden Eagles stood tall, showing grit and determination. The Tech women – now on their 16th straight victory – are in it to win it and they aren’t stopping now.

Tech will play Lindenwood for the title at 3 p.m. Saturday in the Ford Center.

This class contains conference champions, record breakers, new faces and old, and they have propelled the Golden Eagles to one of the most historic seasons in program history.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — It was a fitting day to celebrate Tennessee Tech’s senior class as the Golden Eagle women used their veterans to great effect, getting a little bit of revenge for an early-season loss at Lindenwood as they beat the Lions 77-59 at the Eblen Center. Tech claimed the 2024-25 Ohio Valley Conference women's basketball regular-season championship outright with the win, confirming the Golden Eagles' 19th OVC regular-season title in program history and first since 2012-13.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team is already assured of a share of the Ohio Valley Conference’s regular-season championship. The thing is… they really don’t want to share. Still remembering a tough night in St. Charles back in December, the Golden Eagles look to close out the regular season with a victory on Saturday as Lindenwood comes into the Eblen Center.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The championship has been won, but the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team is not done yet. The Golden Eagles defeated Western Illinois 68-51 on Thursday night to claim a share of their 19th Ohio Valley Conference regular-season championship in program history and first since 2012-13. Tech (23-5, 17-2 OVC) claimed its program-record 17th conference victory of the season and extended its winning streak to 14 games and 17 at home.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Thursday’s game against Western Illinois just became a lot bigger for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team. With Lindenwood’s 75-70 loss in Macomb on Tuesday night, the Golden Eagles now have the opportunity to claim at least a share of the Ohio Valley Conference regular-season title with a victory over Western Illinois on Thursday. If Tech takes care of business Thursday and Saturday, the Golden Eagles can claim the OVC regular-season title outright when Lindenwood comes to down for the regular-season finale on Saturday. However, it’s still one game at a time for the Tech women and what matters is the task at hand Thursday night as the Leathernecks come to the Eblen Center.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The streak continues -- Tennessee Tech powered their way to an 84-71 victory over Tennessee State on Saturday with an army of alumni in attendance, watching the Golden Eagle women dominate the contest in the Eblen Center. With the victory, the Golden Eagles (22-5, 16-2 Ohio Valley Conference) extend their winning streak to 13 straight games – standing alone as the fourth-longest winning streak in program history.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s a big weekend contest for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team as the Golden Eagles aren’t just trying to keep pace at the top of the Ohio Valley Conference standings, but Tech will also welcome back some of the biggest stars of its illustrious past as it is Legends Weekend at the Hooper Eblen Center. The festivities will be part of Tech’s game against Tennessee State on Saturday, slated for 3:30 p.m. or roughly 30 minutes after the conclusion of the men’s contest against the Tigers on ESPNU.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s down to the last two weeks of the Ohio Valley Conference regular season and Tennessee Tech will look to defend the home court in its final four games of the campaign. There’s a lot on the line as UT Martin comes to town Thursday for a 5:30 p.m. contest.
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – The road portion of the 2024-25 regular-season schedule came to a close Saturday at the Show Me Center with Tennessee Tech cruising for the 78-50 victory over host Southeast Missouri. It was a dominant performance, one where the Golden Eagles led by as many as 35 points before shifting down gear to close out the game. The victory was important in many other ways though – the win gave Tech its 11th straight winning, tying the longest in the Kim Rosamond era with the same tally between Dec. 17, 2019, and January 25, 2020. The streak is also tied for the fifth-longest winning streak in program history.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Reghan Grimes stood behind the arc. She was cool, collected. Just 45 seconds earlier, Little Rock had retaken the lead in a game that was tilting back and forth. The home Trojans then had just missed a jump shot in the paint that could have extended their lead, but Chloe Larry came up with the rebound. As the seconds ticked away down to 27, Grimes took the pass. She set up and it seemed like she had all the time in the world. As she fired, the ball’s arc went perfectly into the net. Tennessee Tech was back on top by two points.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Eastern Illinois’ Macy McGlone has been one of the top players in the Ohio Valley Conference this season and she was a tough matchup in Tennessee Tech’s first meeting with the Panthers back in January.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – After a 93-minute delay for tornado warnings in the Putnam County area, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team surged to take an 80-54 victory over SIUE on Thursday night. Tech led 18-15 at the 8:48 mark of the second quarter when the warnings were issued, sending the fans and teams into shelter in the Hooper Eblen Center and the adjacent Academic Wellness Center. As the teams came back out to the court, the Golden Eagles outscored SIUE 21-10 before the intermission.
COOKEVILLE – It’s a huge contest at the Hooper Eblen Center on Saturday as the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team hosts Eastern Illinois with first place in the Ohio Valley Conference on the line. Both the Panthers and the Golden Eagles are among the three-way tie for the top spot – in addition to Lindenwood – with the season rushing toward its postseason showdown in Evansville. There’s still a few weeks to go, but any momentum will be huge down the stretch.

Now back home, Tech hosts SIUE on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. as the Golden Eagles try to extend their home winning streak to 13 games over the last 368 days with the last loss at the Eblen Center coming back on Feb. 3, 2024. Roger Ealey and Frank Harrell will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while Dylan Vazzano and Steve Smith will narrate the action on ESPN+ (subscription required).
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Anna Walker had the unconventional double-double on Saturday. The 14 points were big, but a 10-spot in blocks to break the single-game program record? Not too shabby at all. That was just one of the pieces to the equation as Tennessee Tech leaves Evansville in a tie for
MOREHEAD, Ky. – Morehead State made it interesting as the hosts cut away from a 14-point Tennessee Tech lead in the third quarter and got the game back within five points with 1:41 left to play in the game, but the Golden Eagles held on to prevail 82-73 on Thursday night at Johnson Arena. With the victory, Tech improves to 15-5 on the season and 9-2 in the Ohio Valley Conference. Morehead State falls to 7-15, 2-10 in the league. With Eastern Illinois' loss to Western Illinois on Thursday, the Golden Eagles now stand one game back from the Panthers for the league lead.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It was a milestone evening for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team on Thursday night as the Golden Eagles claimed the program’s 500th Ohio Valley Conference victory, topping Southeast Missouri 79-66 in the Hooper Eblen Center. It’s a milestone, especially in the era of conference realignment, that hasn’t been reached by many teams and Tech is the first in the OVC to reach that level. The total only includes the regular-season OVC matchups as the postseason tournaments count only in overall record and not in conference records. The Golden Eagles (11-5 overall, 5-2 OVC) were on fire early on, scoring 28 points on a scorching 12-for-18 (66.7 percent) from the field. The total was the most for Tech in a first quarter this season and the second-most in any quarter, trailing only the 29-point outburst in the third quarter against Western Illinois.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has done a great job defending its home court this season, posting a 7-0 record in the Hooper Eblen Center. However, Saturday will bring a test to that run as the Golden Eagles host Little Rock.

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – Thursday night was not indicative of the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team and they are determined to put that game in the rear view and keep progressing toward the Ohio Valley Conference title. It’s still a long time until the OVC tournament and still a lot that could happen between now and March, but the focus is squarely on Saturday’s opponent – SIUE. The action is still on schedule for Saturday at 1 p.m. Roger Ealey will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while the game will also be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required).
CHARLESTON, Ill. – It was just one of those nights. The Tennessee Tech women had good looks at the basket and took more shots than the home-standing Eastern Illinois squad, but those shots just didn’t fall.

In all, the official attendance of the game was stated as 6,024 – just 89 spectators away from tying the program’s attendance record in the Hooper Eblen Center.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Tennessee Tech surged out to a big lead, but a scrappy Samford squad with a huge presence in center found a way to even things up before the intermission. The Golden Eagles weren’t fazed as they used big scoring in the third and fourth quarters to send the Bulldogs to the doghouse for a 79-65 victory. Tech (5-2) is idle through the Thanksgiving holiday, then returns to action on Monday as they head to Colorado for an Education Day matchup.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- After two tough road battles, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team is ready to get back into the win column.
