ETSU 53, Tennessee Tech 48

East Tennessee State University women's basketball defeated Tennessee Tech 53-48 on Saturday to snap a two-game skid. Senior guard Braylyn Milton led the Bucs with 20 points on 4-for-8 shooting from behind the arc. Senior guard Courtney Moore added ten for ETSU. The Golden Eagles got out to a quick start with a 6-0 run over the first three minutes of the game.
