Through successive stages, Tennessee State University has developed from its founding in 1912 as Tennessee State Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School for Negroes. The university began serving students on June 19, 1912. In 1922, the institution was raised to the status of a teacher’s college and empowered to grant the bachelor’s degree. The first degrees were awarded in June of 1924. During the same year, the institution became known as the Agricultural and Industrial State Normal College, and in 1927 “normal” was dropped from the name. The General Assembly of 1941 authorized the State Board of Education to upgrade substantially the educational program of the college, which included the establishment of graduate studies leading to the master’s degree. The first master’s degree was awarded by the college in June of 1944. In August of 1951, the institution was granted university status. The university was elevated to a full-fledged landuniversity in 1958. In 1979, Tennessee State University merged with the University of Tennessee at Nashville. The present-day TSU is a comprehensive, urban, landgrant university which offers 44 bachelors degrees, 26 master’s degrees, and a specialist in education. Doctoral degrees are offered in six areas: public administration, administration and supervision, curriculum and instruction, psychology, biological science and computer information systems engineering.

Since taking over the helm of the Tennessee State University athletic department back in April of 2002, Teresa Lawrence Phillips has made good on her promise to move the department to a higher level. In her time as athletic director, the athletic department has made tremendous strides on the playing field, on the Tennessee State University campus and community as well as in the classroom. Some accomplishments under the Phillips administration include the launching of the first official website for TSU Athletics in August of 2002, the revitalization of the Big Blue Booster Club, the recognition of Ohio Valley Conference Scholar Athletes, and conference championships in volleyball and women’s track. Phillips also has the distinction of being the first woman ever to coach an NCAA Division I men’s basketball team en route to being named one of the “101 Most Influential Minorities in Sports” by Sports Illustrated in 2003. She was also named as the Second Most Influential Woman in Sports in Tennessee by The Tennessean newspaper. It was not the first time Phillips had been in the national limelight, as she was named USA Today’s National

No stranger to athletic success herself, she was head coach of the Lady Tigers basketball program at TSU for 11 seasons from 1989-2000. Phillips guided the 1993–94 squad to the program’s first-ever OVC regular season crown, the Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship, and the team’s first appearances ever in the NCAA tournament. She and her staff enjoyed their most successful season in 1994–95 as the Lady Tigers (22–7, 12–4 OVC) gained a share of the regular season title. TSU claimed its second consecutive tournament title and a trip to the NCAA tournament. Facing 21st-ranked Oregon State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the Lady Tigers clawed all night before losing in overtime, 88–75. She has been invited twice to serve as an assistant coach for USA Basketball (1995 and 1999) and was invited to serve as an assistant coach for the U.S. Olympic Festival North Squad. Prior to her stint at TSU, Phillips was head coach at Fisk University for four years.

Phillips also served as the National Youth Sports Drug Program Education Specialist and served on the NCAA Basketball Rules Committee for two years. She compiled a 68-34 overall record with the Bulldogs. She graduated from Vanderbilt University with bachelor’s degrees in Economics and Business Education

before obtaining a Masters in Education from TSU in 1999.

With a metropolitan population of over one million, Nashville is the largest city in the Ohio Valley Conference. Despite its size, Nashville is a pleasant mix of big city entertainment and “down home” friendliness. Resting halfway between the northern and southern boundaries of the United States, Nashville is the capital of Tennessee and the entertainment, cultural and commercial center of the mid-south. Nashville’s location puts it near the nation’s population center. Major cities such as Atlanta, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Memphis and Birmingham can all be reached by car within three to five hours. When it comes to having a good time, there is no better place than Nashville. The city oﬀers a multitude of sporting events, a full range of recreational opportunities, the largest movie theater east of the Mississippi River, restaurants, parks and various places to shop. The downtown area of Nashville features a diverse assortment of entertainment, dining, cultural and architectural attractions, especially near the Broadway and 2nd Avenue areas. North of Broadway lies Nashville’s central business district, Legislative Plaza, Capitol Hill and the Tennessee Bicentennial Mall. Cultural and architectural attractions can be found throughout the city.

Many popular tourist sites involve country music, including the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Belcourt Theatre and Ryman Auditorium. Ryman was home to the Grand Ole Opry until 1974 when the show moved to the Grand Ole Opry House nine miles east of downtown. Nashville has several professional sports teams, most notably the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League and the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League. Several other pro sports teams also call Nashville home, as does the NCAA college football Music City Bowl. The Tennessee State University football team plays its home games at the Titan’s stadium, LP Field. Tennessee State University, one of three historically black colleges and universities in Nashville, is in the middle of the action. The main campus is located just five minutes west of downtown Nashville, while the Avon Williams campus is located in the heart of downtown. Nashville is a cornerstone of the mid-south economy, and Tennessee State University graduates are prominent in the Nashville community and business scene. Today the city along the Cumberland River is a crossroads of American culture, and one of the fastest-growing areas of the Upper South.

Known as “Music City, USA,” Nashville is a city whose musical tastes range from country, to rock, to gospel. Nashville has several major concert venues along with some worldrenowned music clubs. Most big-name concert tours make a stop in Music City. The Tennessee Performing Arts Center is the major performing arts center of the city. It is the home of the Tennessee Repertory Theatre, Nashville Children’s Theatre, the Nashville Opera, and Nashville Ballet.

Entering its 62nd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on

the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to AfricanAmericans. A first in the OVC occurred in 2008, when the league had a first round draft pick in both the NFL (Tennessee State’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) and Major League Baseball (Eastern Kentucky’s Christian Friedrich) Drafts in the same school year. The playing field isn’t the only place where OVC athletes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the OVC prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The OVC sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin. Tennessee State has been a member of the Ohio Valley Conference since 1986.

A former standout student-athlete, Wells played for the TSU Lady Tiger basketball team from 1994-98. She was a member of the team that claimed its second Ohio Valley Conference title in 1995. As a two-year starter, she led the team in assists for two consecutive seasons (1996-97, 1997-98). While at Tennessee State, she was a Dean’s List student and member of the TSU Honors Program. Wells was also named to the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll and received both the Sheila Jackson Dedication Award and Civitan Sportsmanship Award.

In August of 2003, she completed her Master of Arts degree in Education from Tennessee State. She is married to Charles “Bubba” Wells.

The Lady Tiger players had an opportunity to interview Coach Wells, and this is how it went... What do you miss about being a student at TSU? Spending time with my old teammates. Hanging out in the locker room, in the residence halls, the apartments, and the student center was always fun. What are your expectations for the season? This season I expect us to compete for an OVC Championship. We have met at length as a team about how we’re going to do that. And we’ve put together steps from beginning to end. And we’re settling for nothing less than a championship. What was your best moment at TSU as a student? The experience of winning an OVC championship! What was the hardest thing about being a student-athlete? The hardest thing about being a student-athlete was always preseason conditioning. Staying mentally focused at a time when I was expected to come in first everyday no matter what. Where do you see yourself in five years? In five years I want to see myself continuing to lead my alma mater to consecutive OVC Championships. By then the focus should be on how to experience success beyond the 1st Round of the NCAA tournament. If you could be any animal in the world what would you be? A Lady Tiger of course! Real cute to look at, but you really don’t want to mess with me when its time to eat, especially when its game time because we are hungry for these wins! How do you feel about having seven freshmen on this year’s team? I feel very excited because these freshmen are a fun group to be around. They are ambitious. They came in with a plan of winning an OVC Championship and I do believe we are going to get there with their help. The future is very bright for Lady Tiger basketball with the help of this class. What do you like most about coaching? Being able to impact young women in areas other than basketball. I enjoy getting to know them one-on-one, teaching them how to become young women. Helping them through the various stages of life. Becoming effective communicators, becoming productive members of society, helping them grow into confident, strong young women in today’s world. It takes a deliberate effort to command & demand respect from others today. And when they come to me for help and guidance I know that I’m a mentor to them and it’s my job to prepare them as much as I can. What made you want to coach? I never wanted to coach. I only wanted to teach. My plan was to be an English teacher for the rest of my life. I started off pursuing my master’s degree in education. And the only way to do that was with the basketball program at Chicago State. I loved it. I grew quickly in the profession and I’ve never looked back. So I fully understand and believe that this is what I’m supposed to be doing: coaching & developing young women. What is it that you like best about TSU? What I like best about TSU is the environment here is one that no matter where you come from you’ll find that it’s like your home. If you come from a big town or a small town, there’s something here whether it be in Nashville or on our campus itself, there is something here for everybody, and you will no doubt love it here!

2009 -10 Season Outlook

One More Big Step To Take After Leading the Lady Tigers To Their First Tournament Semifinals Appearance In More Than 10 Years, Tracee Wells Has Her Eyes Set On The Ohio Valley Conference Title & An NCAA Tournament Bid Full Steam Ahead Kendra Appling and the rest of the seniors were a huge part of the Lady Tiger’s success last season. They helped TSU to an 18-13 record and a third place finish in the OVC. As the third place seed, Tennessee State hosted the first round of the league tournament for the first time in school history. Wells must now maintain the success of a year ago while continuing to build for the future. To take that next step, she will turn to the five letterwinners from last season and will look for her seven freshmen to step up early. The 2009-10 season will also mark the return of redshirt senior Oby Okafor. The Tigers will only return one starter from last season’s squad in junior Jasmine Smith. After sitting out the first half of last season following her transfer from Louisville, it didn’t take Smith long to get going. She posted 16 points and four rebounds in her debut against Vanderbilt and scored in double-figures in all but eight games. The 2008-09 OVC All-Newcomer selection nearly averaged a double-double with 11.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per contest. She was named OVC Newcomer of the Week six out of the 11 weeks that she was active. Her value to the team was undeniable as TSU opened the season 4-7, and went 14-6 with Smith in the line-up. Coach Wells will also be expecting Oby Okafor to return to her oﬀensive dominance in the paint. Okafor, who sat out last season due to injury, has averaged double-digits in scoring since her freshmen year. A three-year starter, Okafor has always had a knack for rebounding the ball averaging 16.9 points and 8.3

boards a game as a junior. The 2007-08 All-OVC second team selection also led the league in oﬀensive boards during her junior campaign. She begins her senior year ranked 9th in the school records with 1,217 points. She has 616 career rebounds and is ranked sixth all-time. Nikki Rumph’s scoring average has fluctuated since her freshman season but she will look to be more consistent as a senior. As a junior, she was the team’s fifth leading scorer, playing in 31 games and starting nine. She finished the year averaging 5.1 points and 1.9 rebounds a game. A good mid-range shooter, she will be counted on this year to improve on her scoring average of a year ago. Although Chelsea Cromartie finished the 2008-09 season only averaging 2.7 points and 3.3 rebounds a game, she had a few break out games and recorded her first career double-double. Coach Wells called on Cromartie a lot early in the season and she answered. She tallied a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds against Morgan State. She also scored a career-best 13 points against Southeast Missouri. Senior LaDona Pierce and junior Meredith Staﬀord will round out the returners and bring experience to the guard position. Pierce will bring three years of experience to the court. She has consistently been ranked among the best in the OVC in assists, ranking 4th in the league as a junior. She led the team in helpers last season and played in all 31 games. With a total of 361, she is ranked third among TSU’s career leaders in assists. As a senior,

2009-10 OUTLOOK she will be looked upon for leadership at the point guard position.

team every year since her sophomore campaign.

Junior Meredith Staﬀord was the team’s sixth leading scorer with 4.1 points a game. She played in 30 games and started three contests last season. She shot nearly forty percent from the field and tallied 21 steals as a sophomore. She registered 27 assists and had the fourth best free-throw percentage on the team.

Houston, Texas native Simone Hopes was selected to the All-District 13-5A first team in addition to being named a Greater Houston Area All Star as a senior. The 5-10 forward averaged 14.9 points and 6.3 rebounds per game during her senior campaign at Westfield HS.

Newcomers Destiney Gaston, Nykesia Hess, Avery Jones, Simone Hopes, Denisha Mumford, Jasmin Shuler, and Ashley Tate will join the 2009-10 Lady Tiger squad. Destiney Gaston, a 6-3 center, averaged a double-double as a senior at Northland High School with 12 points and 13 rebounds a game. The Columbus, Ohio native helped lead her team to a District appearance during her senior campaign. A 5-10 guard from Dublin, Ohio, Nykesia Hess averaged 15.0 ppg, 3.0 apg, and 3.0 spg at Scioto HS.

Junior Jasmine Smith nearly averaged a double-double for the Tigers with 11.4 ppg and 9.7 rpg. She sat out the first half of the season due to NCAA transfer rules and scored 16 points in her debut against Vanderbilt.

November 14, 2008- Gentry Center

November 17, 2008- Reed Green Coliseum Slow First Half Hurts Lady Tigers in Loss to Southern Mississippi

Lady Tigers Open Season with Win over Jackson State Nashville --- TSU opened the 2008-09 regular season with a 62-46 win over Jackson State Friday night in the Gentry Center.

Hattiesburg, Miss. --- The Tennessee State University women’s basketball team fell to Southern Mississippi 79-57 on the road Monday night in Reed Green Coliseum. Tennessee State falls to 1-1 while Southern Mississippi moves to 2-0 on the season.

With the win, TSU (1-0) defeated JSU (0-1) for the first time in the series history. Kendra Appling led all scorers with 25 points and also tallied five steals while Tiffany Jackson added 11 points for the Lady Tigers.

Tiﬀany Jackson finished the game with 23 points and 11 rebounds for a doubledouble while Tequila Martin came oﬀ the bench to add 10 points and seven boards for the Lady Tigers.

TSU struggled oﬀensively in the first half only shooting 25 percent from the floor as a team. Despite the slow oﬀensive start, TSU went into the break holding a slight 26-23 lead.

Following the opening tip, TSU went for nearly two minutes without scoring a basket and quickly fell behind 6-0. The Lady Tigers got on the board at the 18:03 mark but the Eagles had stretched the advantage to 12-2 before the first media timeout. USM swelled the lead to 29-7 before going into the break with a 41-15 lead.

JSU opened the second half with two back-to-back buckets to grab a 27-26 lead before TSU answered with two three-point buckets to go ahead 32-27. A steal and a made jumper by Meredith Staﬀord stretched the Lady Tiger lead to 10 points (41-31) before TSU swelled the lead to 53-36 following another 3-pointer from Appling with 4:52 left to play. TSU maintained a double-digit lead throughout the rest of the game.

USM outscored TSU 9-5 in the opening four minutes of the second half to build the lead to 50-20. The Lady Tigers cut the deficit down to 21 points (61-40) at the 8:17 mark but two break-away lay-ups by the Eagles put USM back on top 70-41. TSU made small runs down the stretch and outscored USM 42-38 in the second half but it wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit.

TSU knocked down twelve 3-pointers on the night, with eight of them coming in the second half. The Lady Tigers shot 34.4 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from beyond the arc. TSU forced JSU into 35 turnovers, scoring 26 points oﬀ of the miscues.

Lady Tigers’ Oﬀensive Struggles Continue in Loss to Morgan State Huntington, W. Va. --- For the third straight game, oﬀensive struggles hampered the Lady Tigers in the first half as Tennessee State dropped the consolation game of the Fifth Third Classic Saturday afternoon to Morgan State.

TSU (1-2) shot 28.1 percent from the field and 63.4 percent from the charity stripe for the game while Marshall (3-0) knocked down over 65 percent of its shots. The Thundering Herd recorded a 65.4 shooting percentage from the free-throw line.

Kendra Appling finished the game with 15 points while Nikki Rumph turned in 14 points, eight rebounds and two blocks. Chelsea Cromartie recorded her first career double-double with 10 points and a game-high 13 rebounds.

Tennessee State (2-3) shot 53 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc. TSU only committed 11 turnovers in the game and forced CU (2-3) into 37 miscues. The Lady Tigers scored 48 points oﬀ of the Bulldogs’ turnovers and tallied 19 assists as a team.

Meredith Staﬀord knocked down a three-pointer to score the first points of the game but Marshall quickly answered back and took a 4-3 lead on a made free-throw. Holding a 13-9 lead, Marshall used an 11-0 run to move ahead 24-9 at the 11:42 mark. The Herd then outscored the Lady Tigers 11-2 to swell the lead to 35-11 with 6:44 left to play in the half.

With the game tied 3-3 early in the first half, TSU suﬀered through a three minute scoring drought that saw MSU grab a 10-3 lead. The Lady Tigers cut the deficit down to four (14-10) but costly TSU turnovers coupled with another scoring drought led to the Bears building the advantage to 20-10. MSU led halftime.

Charisse Hicks came oﬀ the bench to score a game-high 19 points and Kendra Appling added 18. Tiﬀany Jackson (14) and Nikki Rumph (13) also posted doublefigures for TSU.

The Lady Tigers outscored the Bears over the first four minutes of the second half to cut the deficit down to 35-27. Aumper by Meredith Staﬀord cut the deficit down to five (41-36) with 9:36 on the clock.

Marshall built the lead back up to 20 (53-33) after opening the second half with an 8-5 run. The Lady Tigers’ eﬀorts to get back into the game fell short as the Herd scored 33 second half points and shot 60 percent from the field.

TSU didn’t score again until the 6:31 mark, by then MSU had stretched its lead back up to 47-38. The Lady Tigers once again made a small run and came to within four (55-51) following a three-point play by Chelsea Cromartie with 2:44 left to play. That, however, would be as close as the Lady Tigers would get as the Bears held on for the 63-57 win. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------VISITORS: MSUW 4-1 TOT-FG 3-PT REBOUNDS ## Player Name FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF TP A TO BLK S MIN 24 DAVIS,Theresa....... f 2-6 0-0 4-6 1 5 6 4 8 0 4 1 0 22 33 JONES,Phylicia...... f 2-6 0-0 2-2 2 5 7 1 6 2 1 0 2 35 01 ADAMS,Corin......... g 8-12 3-4 4-4 1 3 4 4 23 4 8 0 4 36 03 HAWKINS,Erin........ g 0-7 0-5 4-6 0 2 2 2 4 2 3 0 2 35 12 DODSON,Brittany..... g 2-9 1-4 2-2 2 1 3 2 7 2 3 0 2 25 14 TURNER,Tireion...... 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 15 HUNT,Stacy.......... 0-2 0-1 2-4 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 1 8 20 THOMAS,Mahala....... 2-3 1-1 0-0 3 0 3 4 5 0 3 0 0 15 21 REED,Aaries......... 3-6 0-1 0-1 1 4 5 1 6 2 2 0 0 13 30 DAVIS,Moneshia...... 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 52 BARBER,Brittney..... 1-1 0-0 0-0 0 1 1 2 2 0 0 0 0 4 TEAM................ 1 3 4 Totals.............. 20-52 5-16 18-25 11 25 36 21 63 12 24 1 11 200 TOTAL FG% 1st Half: 10-31 32.3% 3-Pt.

The Lady Tigers then went nearly seven minutes without scoring until Nikki Rumph connected on a jumper with 2:52 left in the half. By then, EIU had stretched the lead to 34-15. The Panthers led 41-17 at halftime.

In the second half, TSU tied the game 30-30 after Kendra Appling connected from 3-point range. The Lady Tigers, however, then suﬀered through nearly a three and a half minute scoring drought that saw the Redhawks jump back on top 38-30. TSU clawed back to within one (48-47) behind eight unanswered points.

Meredith Staﬀord nailed a three-pointer with 4:32 left in the half to open the Lady Tiger lead to 27-16 before the Lady Bisons used a 7-2 run to close the gap to 29-23 at the halftime break. Lipscomb carried the momentum into the second half and the deficit down to three before the first media timeout. Although slight, TSU maintained the lead until a three-pointer by Jenna Bartsokas put Lipscomb on top 42-41 at the 9:24 mark. The Lady Bisons stretched the lead to 54-45 at the 4:58 mark. TSU fell behind by 57-47 and was not able to overcome the deficit as Lipscomb sank six free-throws down the stretch to seal the 63-55 win. Tiﬀany Jackson finished the game with 25 to lead TSU while Kendra Appling added 15. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------VISITORS: Tennessee State University 2-4 TOT-FG 3-PT REBOUNDS ## Player Name FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF TP A TO BLK S MIN 15 JACKSON,Tiffany..... f 10-19 0-0 5-6 4 4 8 3 25 0 1 4 1 40 54 CROMARTIE,Chelsea... f 0-2 0-0 0-0 2 1 3 3 0 1 0 0 0 18 04 RUMPH,Nikki......... g 2-9 1-4 0-0 1 4 5 1 5 1 2 0 0 32 05 APPLING,Kendra...... g 6-21 2-7 1-2 4 4 8 3 15 2 1 0 0 28 20 PIERCE,LaDona....... g 0-2 0-0 0-0 1 3 4 4 0 3 3 0 2 34 02 MARTIN,Tequila...... 0-2 0-2 0-0 0 4 4 0 0 1 4 0 1 13 03 GOODWIN,Kierra...... 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 5 10 STAFFORD,Meredith... 2-4 1-2 2-2 2 1 3 1 7 1 2 0 0 17 31 HICKS,Charisse...... 1-5 1-4 0-0 0 1 1 4 3 1 2 0 0 13 TEAM................ 2 2 Totals.............. 21-64 5-19 8-10 14 24 38 21 55 10 16 4 4 200 TOTAL FG% 1st Half: 10-31 32.3% 2nd Half: 11-33 33.3% Game: 32.8% DEADB 3-Pt.

January 5, 2009- Regional Special Events Center Lady Tigers Fall Short Against Racers

January 10, 2009- Skyhawk Arena Late Second Half Surge Leads to 61-54 Lady Tiger Win

Murray, Ky. --- TSU dropped an 82-73 decision to Murray State in the Regional Special Events Center. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for TSU (7-9, 3-2 OVC) while MSU (8-6, 3-1 OVC) remained undefeated at home.

Martin, Tenn. --- TSU used a late second half surge to help secure a 61-54 road win against UT-Martin at Skyhawk Arena. TSU improves to 8-9 (4-2 OVC) while UTM sinks to 2-13 (0-5 OVC).

Appling led TSU with 24 points, six steals and five assists. Hicks was 4-of-7 from behind the arc and tallied 14 points in the contest. Smith quietly picked-up her second double-double of the season with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Amber Guﬀey paced MSU with 24 points.

Appling led all scorers with 20 points in addition to seven rebounds while Hicks added 15 points for TSU. Jackson recorded a team-high eight caroms in the contest. Davis paced the Skyhawk oﬀense with 19 points while Glover tallied 16 points and 18 boards. Mitchell pulled down 17 rebounds.

Both teams battled throughout the half. The Racers carried a 35-32 lead into the break.

TSU held a slight 32-29 advantage at the break. In the second half, the game was at 36-apiece with 14:10 on the clock. Both teams then traded buckets over the next few minutes until TSU created a little distance behind two back-to-back three-point bombs from Hicks to capture a 47-40 lead with 8:12 left in the game.

In the second frame, TSU quickly erased the halftime deficit behind an old fashioned three-point play from Jackson. Both teams traded buckets over the next several minutes in a see-saw battle that featured eight ties.

TSU then built the advantage up to double-digits (57-47) after Pierce found Smith under the basket with a little over three minutes to play. The Skyhawks cut the deficit down to six with 1:49 on the clock but that would be as close as they would get.

With MSU holding a slight 66-63 lead and a little over three minutes to play, Appling was charged with her fifth foul and had to go to the bench. MSU capitalized on Appling’s absence and outscored TSU 16-10 in the final 3:53 of the game.

The Lady Tigers committed a season low nine turnovers and forced the Skyhawks into 26 miscues.

The Lady Tigers committed a season-low 10 turnovers in the contest but were charged with 27 fouls. The Racers connected on 23-of-28 from the charity stripe.

TSU 65 JACKSONVILLE 50 Nashville --- The Tennessee State University women’s basketball team remained undefeated at home and moved into a tie for second place in the OVC race with Thursday night’s win over Jacksonville State.

In a low scoring and tightly played first half, neither team was able to build more than a four point lead. TSU carried a slight 25-23 advantage into the break. Appling christened the second half with a triple from the top of the key to push TSU’s advantage to 28-23. The Lady Govs, however, responded with a 5-0 run to go ahead 33-28.

Tennessee State (10-9, 6-2 OVC) scored the first points of the game and never trailed Jacksonville State (4-14, 1-7 OVC) in the contest. Kendra Appling tallied 25 points to lead TSU while Tiﬀany Jackson added 15. Chelsea Cromartie came oﬀ the bench to pull down 10 boards for the Lady Tigers. Brittany Wiley notched a team-high 21 points for the Gamecocks. Kendra Appling nailed a three-pointer to open the second half, pushing TSU’s lead to 41-25, but JSU put together a small rally to bring the score to 43-31.

With the Lady Tigers trailing 31-35, a jumper by Appling sparked a 10-0 run that gave TSU a 45-31 lead. APSU slowly climbed from behind and tied the game 43-43 with 6:29 on the clock. Neither team would let up as both teams battled down the stretch.

TSU answered with an 11-1 run that gave the Lady Tigers their biggest lead of the game (54-32) at the 13:16 mark.

With 11 seconds left on the clock and TSU holding a slight 54-52 lead, Staﬀord knocked down two crucial free-throws to ice the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------VISITORS: Austin Peay State Un 8-10 4-3 OVC TOT-FG 3-PT REBOUNDS ## Player Name FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF TP A TO BLK S MIN 12 HANLEY, Whitney..... * 2-6 0-1 0-0 0 2 2 3 4 1 6 0 0 22 23 FAULKNER, Brooke.... * 1-3 0-2 0-0 0 2 2 2 2 1 2 0 1 27 24 THOMAS, April....... * 6-11 0-0 1-2 2 10 12 1 13 1 5 0 0 37 33 HERRING, Ashley..... * 1-6 1-4 0-0 0 3 3 2 3 0 3 1 2 38 34 JAMEN, Nicole....... * 4-6 0-0 3-4 0 3 3 1 11 0 1 0 2 27 00 RAYNER, Jasmine..... 4-7 0-0 1-3 2 1 3 1 9 0 2 1 1 13 02 WARNER, Darcie...... 2-3 0-0 0-0 0 1 1 0 4 1 1 0 0 13 15 JONES, Lauren....... 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 21 POLLOCK, Emily...... 1-4 0-2 4-6 1 0 1 4 6 4 3 0 0 20 TEAM................ 1 4 5 1 Totals.............. 21-46 1-9 9-15 6 26 32 14 52 8 24 2 6 200 2nd Half: 11-23 47.8% 2nd Half: 1-2 50.0% 2nd Half: 6-10 60.0%

Lady Tigers Outlast Golden Eagles in 79-75 Overtime Win Nashville --- Three Lady Tigers scored in double-digits, including senior Tiffany Jackson who tallied her 1,000th career point, to lift TSU past Tennessee Tech, 79-75, in overtime in the Gentry Center. Kendra Appling nailed a three-pointer with 24 seconds left in regulation to send the game to overtime before connecting on two free-throws in the extra period to seal the win. TSU (11-9, 7-2 OVC) won its fourth straight and remained undefeated at home while TTU fell to 4-16 overall and 2-7 in league play. Tiffany Jackson was just shy of a double-double with 23 points and nine boards. She also notched her 1,000th career point. Kendra Appling followed with 20 points and five steals while Charisse Hicks added 12. Blair Bowens led Tech with 18 points while Tacarra Hayes and Meagan Lyons each tallied 16.

With TSU trailing, 70-67, Appling connected from downtown to knot the score at 70-apiece. Tech’s shot attempt with four seconds on the clock rolled off the front of the rim. Despite missing eight free-throws in the overtime period, TSU was able to pull out the close win after Appling sank two free-throws to give the Lady Tigers a 79-75 lead with two seconds left on the clock. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------VISITORS: Tennessee Tech Unive (4-16, 2-7 OVC) TOT-FG 3-PT REBOUNDS ## Player Name FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF TP A TO BLK S MIN 1 BOWENS, Blair....... * 7-8 4-5 0-0 0 2 2 3 18 2 7 0 1 44 15 WHITE, Jasmine...... * 0-1 0-0 1-2 2 1 3 5 1 1 2 1 1 7 21 HAYES, Tacarra...... * 5-13 0-1 6-9 2 5 7 0 16 0 5 2 3 4031 PRICE, Allison...... * 3-11 1-5 1-4 0 5 5 2 8 3 4 0 1 40 42 LYONS, Meagan....... * 7-12 0-1 2-4 5 2 7 4 16 4 0 1 4 27 00 NWOSU, Vivian....... 1-6 0-0 0-0 0 1 1 5 2 0 0 0 0 9 12 STIRRUP, Krystal.... 1-4 0-1 2-4 1 0 1 3 4 0 1 0 2 22 14 COOK, Kelleshia..... 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 2 0 1 2 0 0 7 24 GLIDDEN, Rachel..... 0-0 0-0 2-2 0 1 1 1 2 0 1 0 0 11 34 RUTLEDGE, Simone.... 3-3 0-0 2-3 1 4 5 2 8 0 1 0 0 18 TEAM................ 3 3 6 Totals.............. 27-58 5-13 16-28 14 24 38 27 75 11 23 4 12 225 TOTAL FG% 1st Half: 11-25 44.0% 3-Pt.

February 4, 2009 - Gentry Center Home Winning Streak Ends Against Murray State

Morehead, Ky. --- Despite having a 32-25 lead at halftime, Tennessee State was not able to end Morehead State’s 13-game home winning streak as the Lady Tigers fell to the Eagles 60-51 in Ellis T. Johnson Arena on Thursday night.

Richmond, Ky. --- TSU held oﬀ EKU’s late second half comeback to claim a 67-56 win at McBrayer Arena.

Nashville --- Three Lady Tigers scored in double figures but it wasn’t enough as Tennessee State suﬀered its first home loss of the season at the hand of Murray State, 97-93, Wednesday night in the Gentry Center.

The Eagles (13-9, 7-3 OVC) used a 9-0 run late in the second half to help lift them past the Lady Tigers (11-10, 7-3 OVC). MSU outscored TSU 35-19 in the second period. Jasmine Smith led TSU in scoring and recorded her third double-double of the season with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Tiﬀany Jackson posted 12 points for the Lady Tigers. Brittany Pittman led MSU with 18 points in addition to 11 boards. Deja Watson pulled down a game-high 18 rebounds.

TSU (12-10, 8-3 OVC) saw a 21-point lead dwindle down to just six over a span of six minutes but still managed to hold oﬀ EKU (6-14, 3-8 OVC) down the stretch. Three Lady Tigers posted double-digits in scoring led by Appling’s 14 points. Smith picked up her fourth double-double of the year with 13 points and a game-high 14 boards while Hicks tallied 11 points.Drake led the Colonels with 24 points. Cole (14) and White (10) also notched double figures for EKU. TSU led 28-20 at halftime. EKU scored the first points of the second half but TSU responded with 14 unanswered points over the next seven minutes to capture a 42-22 lead.

TSU went into the break with a 32-25 lead. In the second half, MSU outscored TSU 7-1 to dwindle the Lady Tiger lead down to one point (33-32) before the first media timeout. The Eagles knotted the contest at 35-apiece at the 13:46 mark.

The Colonels used a 10-2 run that brought the score to 47-34 but an 8-0 run, including six points from Meredith Staﬀord, increased the TSU lead back up to to 55-34. Costly turnovers by the Lady Tigers coupled with a few three point bombs from Kayla Drake brought the Colonels to within six, 62-56, with a little under one minute left.

Over the next couple of minutes, the teams traded buckets and the score remained close. That is, until Morehead posted nine unanswered points to grab a 50-40 lead at the 7:42 mark. In the final five minutes of the game, TSU was not able to overcome the deficit falling to MSU 60-51.

That however would be as close as they would get as the Lady Tigers knocked down five free-throws in the final 30 seconds to secure the 67-56 win.
