The four seniors from Tennessee Tech's women's basketball program were honored at halftime of Saturday's game against OVC rival Austin Peay at the Eblen Center in Cookeville, Tennessee. Players Deanna Apple, Kendall Cavin and Joi Nichols, as well as manager Ashley Fisher were met at halfcourt by President Bob Bell, and his wife Gloria, as well as Director of Athletics Mark Wilson. There, along with their families, they were presented with awards thanking them for their contributions to the university and to the basketball program. All four have made crucial contributions in their years on the team and they will be missed by all who are involved with the women's basketball organization here at Tennessee Tech.
Tonight was the final regular-season home game played by these three ladies, and the final one, as well, for Fisher. The home team won this one over the Governors by a final count of 63-51. Tech was led by Cavin, who had 16 points and eight rebounds. Tech now stands a half game behind Samford for fourth in the OVC race with one game to go for TTU. Samford has two games left in the regular season. A fourth-place showing would give Tech a much welcome first-round home tournament game. Fifth place would send us to the road for the whole tournament.
Next up for the Lady Eagles is Murray State in Murray, Kentucky on Thursday night.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2006-2007 SENIORS FROM TENNESSEE TECH WOMEN'S BASKETBALL! THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE UNIVERSITY AND TO THE BASKETBALL PROGRAM AT TECH! GODSPEED TO YOU ALL IN YOUR FUTURE GOALS!
