After a six-game slump, the 2006-2007 Tech Womens Basketball team is back to winning again. Marissa Hensley had 16 points and Kendall Cavin had 13 en route to a 59-58 Tech Golden Eagles victory over the visting Skyhawks of Southeast Missouri. Now the Lady Eagles are 2-6 (1-2 Ohio Valley Conference), and are still ranked number seven in most wins all-time with a 772-330 record since the program was established in the 1970-71 season. By that stat, they are one of the most successful women's Division I programs in the country.
The men followed soon afterward. Belton Rivers led Tech with 33 points, his career high, and the Golden Eagles ended a double-header sweep of SEMO with a 91-76 victory at home in the Eblen Center in Cookeville, Tennessee. The men are now 4-4 (1-2 OVC), and both men's and women's teams will be off for a week for final exams.
During halftime of the men's game, Cookeville native Watson Brown was named the new head coach for TTU's football program. See the below posting and links for more on this exciting announcement.
