The Michigan Tech Huskies (28-2 overall, 21-2 GLIAC) have been the host school for the GLIAC Championship for three straight years now.   In those three years, the Huskies have also advanced to the championship game each year.  Tonight the Huskies met a team that has already proven that they are capable of beating them.  Earlier this season the Northern Michigan Wildcats (21-9 overall, 16-6 GLIAC) fell to the Huskies 64-59, but beat them in their second meeting 53-47, in Houghton.  With the past behind them, they both entered tonight’s contest with the goal of walking away with the GLIAC Championship.  In a contest that was close all the way to the end, the Huskies eventually proved that hard work pays off, as they were crowed the 2010 GLIAC Women’s Champions.
