It is the highest national ranking for Tech’s women since Nov. 25, 2008, when they were ranked 12th in the country.
This year’s Golden Suns have matched the best start to a season in the 33-year history of intercollegiate women’s basketball at Arkansas Tech. The only other Golden Suns team to start 14-0 was the 1979-80 squad, which went on to finish 29-2.
Arkansas Tech will try for its best start ever to a women’s basketball season when the Golden Suns host Henderson State at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
Admission to Tucker Coliseum will be free with a valid Tech identification card.
