Nya Robertson gains temporary eligibility, will be available for Lady Vols at Coppin State

Nya Robertson, a guard for the Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team, has been granted temporary eligibility to play in the Lady Vols' upcoming game against Coppin State. Robertson was one of the plaintiffs in the Hosea Wheeler lawsuit against the NCAA, which fought to include seniors in the new age-based eligibility rules. She was granted a temporary restraining order, which lasts for 10 days, keeping her eligible for the game as she is currently within her collegiate season.

Robertson previously set the program record for 3-pointers in a single game against Coppin State last season. The temporary restraining order will expire on November 13, and there will be a hearing on November 16 regarding the temporary orders.
