COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As most people know the middle of October the seasons begin to change both outside and on the college campus. Just as the leaves begin to change colors so do the college campuses as they start to see the overlap of the fall sports with the basketball season.
With one week of practice in the books, the Tennessee Tech
women’s squad is already well into its groove and second-year
head coach Sytia Messer is pretty satisfied with the state of the
team.
"We are excited about being able to start practice early,"
Messer said. "We've got a couple of injuries that we're nursing.
But I'm excited about their energy and their effort."
Fans can expect to see some familiar faces from last season,
including junior guard Tacarra Hayes. Last season Hayes earned many
accolades for her efforts including being named first team all-OVC
and TTU Female Athlete of the Year.
"It's hard to believe it's that time of year again," Hayes
said. “Everybody's starting to settle in and we're all
excited about this season. We’re expecting us to do some big
things."
The Golden Eagles kick off their 2010-11 campaign on Thursday
Nov. 4, as they host an exhibition doubleheader against Bryan
College with the women’s tip at 5:30 p.m. and the men’s
tip at 7:30 p.m. The Golden Eagles begin regular season play Nov.
15, when they host the Bulldogs of Alabama A&M.
