MARTIN, Tenn. – Four players reached double-digits, as the University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team stormed past Southern Indiana, 84-69, Thursday night at the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center in Martin.

The Screaming Eagles jumped out to an 11-4 lead in the game, but the Skyhawks used a 16-3 later in the first quarter run to take a lead it would never relinquish. UT Martin led by four at the end of the first and second quarters, before pushing the lead out to seven at the end of the third.

The fourth quarter, however, belonged solely to the Skyhawks. UT Martin outscored Southern Indiana, 24-16, in the frame, including a 9-0 run late in the game. The Skyhawks made nine of their last 10 field goals in the game, to seal the 15-point win and move to 13-17 overall and 10-9 in OVC play.

UT Martin crashed the boards Thursday, outrebounding the Screaming Eagles, 40-27, on the night for the largest rebounding margin of the season against a Division I opponent. Another key to the win for the Skyhawks came in the form of points off turnover. Despite committing two more turnovers, at 13-11, UT Martin was able to better capitalize off the USI miscues, outscoring their opponents, 20-9, in the category.

Late in the first quarter, Kenley McCarn hit two free throws to become the 19^th member of UT Martin's 1,000-point club. She is now just the fourth sophomore in program history to join the elite club, alongside Heather Butler, Ashia Jones, and Jasmine Newsome.

Anaya Brown notched her third-consecutive double-double and the eighth 20-point-plus performance of the season Thursday when she scored 27 points and tallied 10 rebounds. Kenley McCarn followed Brown with 24 points, for her seventh 20-point-plus game of the season. Shae Littleford added 17 points and a game-high four assists, while Lexi Rubel had 12 points and seven rebounds to round out the four Skyhawks who scored double-digits.

UT Martin will close out the 2024-25 regular season on Saturday when they host Morehead State at the Elam Center at 1 p.m. Before the game, Tia Hymon and Abby Stephens will be honored during the annual Senior Day ceremony.
