Latest pair of wins vaults Golden Eagles to 21st in the Mid-Major Poll

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – In the most recent poll conducted by collegeinsider.com, the Tennessee Tech women's basketball team has improved to 21st in the nation in the NCAA Women's Basketball Mid-Major Top 25.

"We’ve had four road wins in the past two weeks and have moved up four spots and other schools have recognized that,’ head coach Sytia Messer said. “I’m excited that my team has learned to win on the road.”
 
Sporting a 16-4 record and currently sitting in first place in the Ohio Valley Conference, this is Tennessee Tech's second straight week in the poll. The Golden Eagles, who ranked 24th in last week's poll, moved up three spots after a pair of road wins against Eastern Illinois and Southeast Missouri.
 
TTU is the OVC's lone representative in the poll, receiving 150 points. Of the 25 teams in the poll, the Golden Eagles have faced only Middle Tennessee (12/1), which saw the Blue Raiders come out with the 71-58 victory at Eblen Center. In its four losses on the season, Tech's opponents have a combined record of 61-25.
 
Tech (16-4, 10-1 OVC) begins a two-game home stand Thursday against Eastern Kentucky. Opening tip is set for 5:30 p.m. CT.
