On Thursday, the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles defeated the Monmouth Hawks, 79-69, and broke a few March Madness droughts.
It had been a few decades since the Golden Eagles had been to the NCAA Division I women’s basketball tournament and won a game. It had been over 40 years since Monmouth had been to a tournament game.
Four players for Tennessee tech had double digits and with 12 three-pointers made, the Hawks couldn’t overcome the deficit. The Golden Eagles advance to the Field of 64 and will take on No. 1 seeded Indiana on March 18th at 11:30 a.m. ET on ESPN2.
This is only the eighth victory for the Ohio Valley Conference in the NCAA Tournament with Tennessee Tech accounting for four of those victories over the years.
