by MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin women’s basketball team saw its 10-game winning streak come to an end of Saturday afternoon behind a fourth quarter onslaught by Tennessee Tech to pick up a 77-73 Ohio Valley Conference road victory.
The Skyhawks (12-4, 11-2 OVC) led by as much as 12 points early in the fourth quarter before Tennessee Tech called a timeout to try and settle the ship. With an adjustment in hand, the Golden Eagles (10-6, 8-5 OVC) responded from there and proceeded to go on a 9-0 run behind the hot shooting stroke of Jordan Brock who knocked down three consecutive three-pointers to give the visitors the lead. Brock would take over in the quarter, scoring 17 of her team’s 32 points in the fourth quarter to pull away and seal the road win.
The loss snapped a season-long 10-game winning streak for the Skyhawks dating back to Jan. 7 and marked the team’s first conference loss at home in nearly two seasons – coming against the same Tennessee Tech squad back on Feb. 9, 2019.
UT Martin shot 50.9 percent from the floor while placing four players in double figures for the third consecutive game. Maddie Waldrop scored a season-high 22 points while tallying eight rebounds. Dasia Young ranked second on the team with 17 points and nine rebounds while Seygan Robins and Kyannah Grant (Navajo/MBCI) both scored 11 points and combined for nine assists.
