CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Saturday is certainly not the situation that Tennessee Tech women’s basketball is used to. The Golden Eagles are trying to punch their ticket to Evansville for next week’s Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championships – and it’s down to the last day. Tech certainly isn’t taking it as a negative, but an opportunity. It gives the Golden Eagles the lesson to not take their historic success at face value. It places the importance of being there to defend their title. The Golden Eagles are hungry – and they know Southeast Missouri is too.
MARTIN, Tenn. – The final week of the Ohio Valley Conference regular season has arrived and it’s still a lot to be answered when it comes to the tournament field.

While Saturday’s 70-57 loss to Lindenwood stung, it was about the camaraderie of the day.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s the culmination of a long season as the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team will conclude the home portion of its schedule on Saturday as the Golden Eagles host preseason favorite Lindenwood on Saturday. The visiting Lions are certainly trying to uphold their end of the bargain, but are trying to get past Western Illinois at the top of the standings, just a game back from the Leathernecks.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team enters the final home weekend of the regular season, the Golden Eagles look to make one last push up the Ohio Valley Conference standings.

Dylan Vazzano and Frank Harrell will have the call on ESPN+ (subscription required), while Noah McKay will narrate the action on 106.1 The Eagle.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The first half was a battle as Tennessee Tech and Southern Indiana fought to a 34-34 draw at the intermission. The third quarter, however, was a different story.

MOREHEAD, Ky. – Thursday night felt like it was a late-round game in the Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championships.

It was survive and advance basketball at its finest.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Trailing by 15 points in the third quarter, things looked grim for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team on Saturday. But the Golden Eagles persevered with a tremendous performance from freshman LaReesha Cawthorn as she powered Tech back with 27 points and 27 rebounds – both career-highs – as the home team worked their way back to force overtime then claim the 75-70 victory. Cawthorn’s 27 rebounds tied Pam Cassity for the fourth-most in a single game in Tech history and is the most by a Golden Eagle player since the 1975-76 campaign. Cassity held eight of the top 10 performances – all in the 1975-76 season. It’s the most in Ohio Valley Conference play since Southeast Missouri’s Lachelle Lyles pulled down 32 against Tennessee State on Dec. 7, 2006.
As Tennessee Tech women’s basketball suits up for Saturday’s contest against Eastern Illinois, it won’t be in the traditional colors of Purple and Gold. Instead, with their minds on those in their lives affected by cancer as the team hosts its annual ThinkPink and Play4Kay game, the Panthers won’t be the only thing the Golden Eagles are looking to defeat. Tipoff from the Eblen Center is at 1 PM Saturday. Saturday’s game will honor those who have been affected by all forms of cancer, as every member of the Golden Eagle women’s basketball program will be playing, coaching or serving in honor of someone dear to them who has been impacted by the disease.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Take away the second quarter and Thursday’s Tennessee Tech-Western Illinois women’s tilt is a dead heat.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As Western Illinois comes into the Hooper Eblen Center on Thursday night, it’s the Fighting Leathernecks that have the target placed squarely on their backs as they currently reside in the top spot in the Ohio Valley Conference. And if Tennessee Tech can knock off WIU Thursday night, it will go a long way towards making the OVC race a lot more interesting.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The way the first half went, things did not look good for the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball. But for as bad as it got, a nine-point deficit at the intermission was far from insurmountable.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – When Tennessee Tech traveled to Little Rock to begin the 2026 portion of the schedule, things were looking up for the Golden Eagles. Tech was heading to the conference’s Western boundary with a 10-2 record following a 6-0 December and things were looking bright. Thirty-one days later and it’s been a tough ride as the Trojans won 51-44 on New Year’s Day. Since then, it’s been seven straight losses with an average margin of 6.3 points with two one-point losses, a two-point loss and a five-point loss with a game that went to overtime.
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – Tennessee Tech went on a 13-2 run to get back within reach of SIUE on Saturday afternoon, but the furious comeback was stopped just short as the host Cougars claimed a 67-62 victory. Tech falls to 10-9, 3-7 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Golden Eagles return to action on Tuesday at Tennessee State, weather permitting. Reagan Hurst led Tech in scoring with 17 points as she was 4-for-8 from the field with two 3-pointers and a 7-for-7 effort at the line. Chloe Larry had 16 points, while LaReesha Cawthorn narrowly missed a double-double with 10 points and eight rebounds to go with five steals and a block. Cam Mathews and Reghan Grimes each had nine points. Lauren Miller led SIUE (10-10, 3-7 OVC) with 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting, while Syanne Mohamed was 6-for-8 from the field and 3-for-4 at the line to collect a double-double with 15 points and 15 boards.

Miller connected on a pair of free throws, but Mathews hit a clutch 3-pointer at 25 seconds remaining to make it 64-62. However, Miller and Mohamed hit free throws to secure the final margin. Tech was able to force 16 SIUE turnovers to convert into 26 points and create 14 second-chance points. The Golden Eagles finished the game shooting 22-for-63 – 34.9 percent – from the field, hitting -for-18 from long range (44.4 percent) and 10-for-12 at the line (83.3 percent).

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – Tennessee Tech’s record in the Ohio Valley Conference is misleading. With a 3-6 mark in league play, the Golden Eagles need some momentum heading into the midway point of the conference race. After all, Tech is just four points separated from six victories in the conference. Six wins would put the Golden Eagles in a tie for third well within striking distance – and Tech is just points from being right there.
ST. CHARLES, Mo. – Every time Tennessee Tech was able to get back to a tie score or took the lead against Lindenwood on Thursday night, the host Lions just kept finding a way back up front. Then, the hosts outscored the Golden Eagles 26-15 in the fourth quarter after a 40-40 tie at the end of the third to claim a 66-55 victory over Tech on Thursday night.
ST. CHARLES, Mo. – The last time Tennessee Tech faced Lindenwood, the game ended with the Golden Eagle women raising the Ohio Valley Conference championship trophy. There’s no doubt that the host Lions remember that moment well as Tech heads to Hyland Arena on Thursday to take on Lindenwood.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech just needed to hold on for another second. On the home end of the court, Chloe Larry drained a driving layup to knot Saturday’s contest against Morehead State at 66-all. The defense was holding strong until Laura Toffali found an opening for a 3-point try. The shot was no good, but the officials called a foul on the play, sending the .651 shooter to the line with just nine-tenths of a second remaining on the clock.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s been a while since the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has stood in its current situation. After four straight conference losses – the first streak of that caliber since 2019-20 – the Golden Eagles are ready to reverse their recent fortunes as Morehead State comes to town on Saturday. Tipoff Saturday is set for 1 PM. Dylan Vazzano and Frank Harrell are on the call on ESPN+ (subscription required), while Noah McKay and Steve Smith will narrate the action on 106.1 The Eagle.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Battle sums up Tennessee Tech’s night against the Southern Indiana women at the Eblen Center Thursday.

However, it all became a sprint in the overtime session and the Screaming Eagles took the lead with 25 seconds to go in the extra period, staving off the Golden Eagles to take a 71-69 win.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s good to be back home. After a tough start to January, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team is back in the Hooper Eblen Center, ready to get back to business. However, Southern Indiana isn’t going to make defending the Golden Eagles’ 27-game home winning streak easy when the two lock horns on Thursday night. Tipoff is set for 5:30 PM. Dylan Vazzano and Steve Smith will have the call on ESPN+ (subscription required), while Noah McKay and Frank Harrell will describe the action on 106.1 The Eagle.
MACOMB, Ill. – Tennessee Tech put up a fight Saturday at Western Illinois, but the high-powered offense of the host Leathernecks proved tough to handle as WIU claimed a 77-60 victory at Western Hall. Now, the Golden Eagles (10-5, 3-3 Ohio Valley Conference) return home with Southern Indiana looming on the horizon.
MACOMB, Ill. – As the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team enters Saturday’s contest, the Golden Eagles are in a little bit of unfamiliar territory. After back-to-back losses to open the new year against Little Rock and Eastern Illinois – only the second time in the last two seasons, the Golden Eagles are determined to end the skid and get back on track. They’ll attempt to do that Saturday as they take on Western Illinois at 1 PM. Dylan Vazzano and Frank Harrell will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while the game will also be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required).
CHARLESTON, Ill. – After falling down by as many as nine points close to the end of the third quarter, Tennessee Tech roared back and retook a late lead. However, Eastern Illinois had the taste of victory in its mouth and used a late steal and free throws to retake a 75-74 lead with just seconds remaining.
CHARLESTON, Ill. – After a tough loss to open up the year at Little Rock, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has had a week to learn from it and move forward. The sights are now set on their next opponent – Eastern Illinois. The two teams will square off on Thursday at 5 PM at EIU’s Groniger Arena. Dylan Vazzano and Frank Harrell will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while the game will be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required).
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Thursday’s contest at Little Rock certainly was uncharacteristic as the home squad’s defense made the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team work for every point. The Golden Eagles tried to rally in the final quarter, but it just wasn’t enough as Little Rock held on for a 51-44 victory. Tech falls to 10-3 overall, 3-1 in the Ohio Valley Conference, while the Trojans improve to 6-7 on the season, 2-1 in the league.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Tennessee Tech looks to ring in the New Year on a high note as the Golden Eagles travel to Little Rock for a 3 PM matinee on Thursday.

Noah McKay and Frank Harrell will have the call on 106.1 The Eagle, while the game will also be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required).
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – No one ever said getting wins was pretty. The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team battled throughout Tuesday’s 69-63 victory over Tennessee State, but the Golden Eagles prevailed to extend their home winning streak to 27 games and their Ohio Valley Conference regular-season winning streak to 18. Tech (10-2, 3-0 OVC) wraps up December with a perfect 6-0 record and finishes the 2025 calendar year with a 29-4 record with two of the losses coming to South Carolina in the NCAA tournament and USC in November.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech is sure going to be sad to see 2025 go – multiple winning streaks, two Ohio Valley Conference championships, an NCAA tournament appearance and starting the 2025-26 season at 9-2 – the team’s best start since 1989-90. So as the Tech women close out 2025 on Tuesday night against Tennessee State, the Golden Eagles are looking to tie a bow on the calendar year with a victory over the Tigers.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Cam Mathews has made a tremendous impact with the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball through the Golden Eagles’ first 11 games of the season, helping lead Tech to a 9-2 start – the team’s best since the 1989-90 season. Now, Mathews is being honored by the Ohio Valley Conference after an incredible week, claiming both OVC Player of the Week and OVC Newcomer of the Week honors on Tuesday.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – After being named the Ohio Valley Conference's Player and Newcomer of the Week earlier on Tuesday morning, Cam Mathews added another accolade as the Tennessee Sports Writers Association named her their Women's Basketball Player of the Week later Tuesday afternoon. Against Southeast Missouri, Mathews finished with a career-best 34 points – the first Tech player since Reghan Grimes against Tennessee State on January 18, 2024, to score 30 points in a game, as well as the most points scored by a Tech player since Yaktavia Hickson posted 37 against Belmont on January 21, 2017.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It was a milestone nearly 50 years in the making on Saturday as the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball collected its 500th victory in the Hooper Eblen Center, topping UT Martin 74-62. Dating all the way back to the first season in the Eblen Center in 1977-78 and now 49 seasons later, the Golden Eagle women have defended their home court well with a 500-172 record and a .744 winning percentage at home. It wasn’t easy, though, as UT Martin kept it close in the first quarter, then outscored the Golden Eagles 18-10 in the second to take a 33-28 advantage. Tech countered with a 13-4 run to open the second half and outscored the Skyhawks 23-10 in the third. The Golden Eagles extended their lead with a 23-19 fourth quarter to cruise to their 26th straight win in at home to extend their program-best streak in progress.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It’s one of those numbers that just kind of sneaks up on you. Tennessee Tech had played a lot of great competition in the Hooper Eblen Center, but as the calendar dates slipped across over the past two seasons, it wasn’t surprising that the Golden Eagles had put together an impressive stretch. With Tech’s 92-53 victory over Stephens College on Saturday, the win gave the Golden Eagles their 24th straight win on their home court, setting a new program standard. Tech’s last loss at the Hoop came on Feb. 3, 2024.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team has seen a lot of success on the Hooper Eblen Center floor over the years.

Tech has an opportunity to earn the program’s longest streak by itself on Saturday as the Golden Eagles host Stephens College.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With nearly 6,000 screaming school children from across the Upper Cumberland, the Tennessee Tech women’s basketball team put on one heck of a show as the Golden Eagles pulled away for an 82-60 victory over the visiting Samford Bulldogs on Thursday. Officially, the announced attendance of 5,845 stands as fourth in the women’s basketball program’s top attendance list, just behind the last two Education Day contests.
