MARTIN, Tenn. – Preseason preparations for the University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team got underway this afternoon with the start of 2022-23 official practice in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center.
The seven-time Ohio Valley Conference regular season champions will have 42 days to prepare before opening the season on Thursday, Nov. 10 when playing host to Troy.
UT Martin will work to build upon a solid core with four returning starters back in the fold. The Skyhawks welcome back starting guards Shae Littleford, Paige Pipkin and Seygan Robins along with post presence Ella Thompson after the quartet combined to score 56 percent of last season's total output. The squad will look for valuable reinforcements with the addition of two Division I transfers in Sydneey Boykin (Mercer) and Diamond Cannon (Bradley) along with a decorated freshman class which includes Anaya Brown, Lexi Rubel, Clara Garland, Haley Hallett, Sharnecce Currie-Jelks, Josie Storey and Kenley McCarn.
This season marks the 14th season for head coach Kevin McMillan. During that span, the Skyhawks have won 252 games, six league titles and four tournament crowns while earning nine postseason berths.
