JACKSON, Miss. (Interstat) — Two teams coming off dominant, season-opening victories will meet Friday when the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles visit the Jackson State Lady Tigers in a nonconference women’s basketball matchup.

The game at Lee Williams Athletic Center pits a pair of 1-0 squads looking to build early momentum.

Tennessee Tech opened its season with a 92-67 home win over Cumberlands on Monday. Reghan Grimes led the way, pouring in 24 points in just 25 minutes of action. Chloe Larry added 17 points, while LaReesha Cawthorn controlled the glass with nine rebounds.

Jackson State was even more impressive in its opener, routing MUW 117-40. The Lady Tigers’ offense was fueled by a balanced attack. Angel Wilkinson posted 16 points, five rebounds and four assists, while Derrica McCall also scored 16 points. Skyler Christmas contributed 13 points, five rebounds and three assists.

The contest represents a final tune-up before both teams embark on challenging stretches. Tennessee Tech will host Middle Tennessee on Nov. 11 before a three-game road trip. Jackson State faces a daunting schedule ahead, with a road game against Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi State on Nov. 13, followed by a string of games against Power Five opponents.

Tip-off is set for Friday, Nov. 7, 2025.
