Opening Match Recap
The season opened with a 2-0 loss for the Michigan Tech Huskies against the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs, a game that unfolded with both sides finding the net before the break. A corner kick delivered by Kailey Tomzak set up Lauren Mcgough’s opening goal, giving the Bulldogs an early edge.
Goalie Bri Barrows kept the Huskies in contention with three solid saves in the first half, but Minnesota Duluth struck again before the interval to take a 2-0 lead. The second half saw the Huskies generate four chances, yet they were unable to convert any of them.

Head coach Melissa Kuhar was candid in her post‑match remarks, pointing to the first‑half performance as a area needing improvement. She emphasized the program’s goal of playing a more consistent 90‑minute game as the team moves forward.
Minnesota Duluth extended their advantage at the 71st minute when Amelia Castleberg found the back of the net, sealing the final score.
Looking Forward
The Huskies will next host St. Cloud State on Sunday at noon, a match that comes after the visitors dropped a 3-2 decision to Northern Michigan earlier in the day. While the loss stings, the team remains focused on building momentum and tightening up play for the upcoming contest.
