Tennessee Tech sophomore Reghan Grimes earned the Tennessee Sports Writers Association's Women's Basketball Player of the Week nod after scoring a career-best 31 points on an efficient shooting night in the Golden Eagles' lone action of the week in an 86-81 victory at Tennessee State. The award was released Thursday afternoon.
The Nashville native shot 10-for-15 from the floor, including one 3-pointer, while hitting 10 of her 11 tosses at the free-throw line. In addition to her first career double-double, Grimes also collected four assists and had two steals in the conference victory.
The 31 points are the most scored by a Tech player this season and she becomes the first Golden Eagle to score that or better since Jordan Brock against UT Martin on Feb. 6, 2021.
The Tech women are in action tonight as they are at Eastern Illinois. Tipoff for that game is scheduled for 5 pm and will be carried on ESPN+ and 106.1 The Eagle.
