COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With the regular-season championship in tow, the Tennessee Tech women's basketball team also collected several All-Ohio Valley Conference honors on Tuesday as the league announced its postseason honors on the eve of its tournament, which starts Wednesday in Evansville.

Junior guard Reghan Grimes was named to the All-OVC first-team roster, while Peyton Carter and Keeley Carter were both named to the second-team. Keeley Carter and true freshman Chloe Larry were both selected to the All-Newcomer Team.

With the Golden Eagles leading the conference in scoring offense, scoring margin, 3-point percentage and 3-point defense, rebounding, blocks and assists, as well as second in scoring defense and assist/turnover ratio, there's plenty of proof as to why the Tech women's basketball team earned its spots on the teams and the regular-season title.

Keeley Carter, who was named the OVC's Newcomer of the Week four times this season, scored 345 points (11.9 per game) and pulled down 106 rebounds (3.7 per game). She shot .471 from the floor, .435 from 3-point range and .769 at the free-throw line.
