“That was unbelievable,” muttered head coach Kevin Luke under his breath after the stunning 70-67 Michigan Tech men’s basketball victory on Thursday night over Ferris State. The Huskies looked down and out to the Bulldogs at several points during the game, and the host of fans that left at halftime because of it certainly ended up regretting it.

The Michigan Tech women’s basketball team was without their second-leading scorer Danae Danen for tonight’s match-up against Ferris State. It marked the first time in 30 games that the Huskies’ starting lineup would be different. Perhaps that was the reason that the Huskies started slowly in the game, but ultimately they proved just how well rounded they are as a team, pouring it on late to a 23-point victory, 64-41 on Thursday night.

After five games in nine days, the hockey Huskies earned some much needed time off this past week. Head coach Jamie Russell gave his guys most of last week off to recuperate, and this week they’ll prep to face the team that sits just ahead of them in the WCHA Standings, the Minnesota State Mavericks.
The Mavericks (11-13-2 overall) also haven’t played since Jan. 15-16 when they were swept by the WCHA-leading Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs. The Mavericks currently sit ninth in the WCHA with a 5-12-1 record, good for 11 points.
The Mavericks come into this weekend led by senior forwards Jerad Stewart (12-8=20) and Zach Harrison (5-15=20). Stewart leads the team in game-winning goals (3) and is tied for the team lead in power play goals (5).
Junior defenseman Ben Youds (1-19=20) leads the Mavericks in assists. Classmate Kurt Davis (3-11=14) is struggling to keep pace with his numbers from last season (31 points in 38 games).
Projected first-round draft pick Tyler Pitlick (7-4=11) has struggled to score of late, notching only one goal and one assist in his last nine games.
The Mavericks have found their starting goaltender in junior Austin Lee (7-9-0 overall, 2.67 goals against average, .912 save percentage). Lee has started the last four games, playing some of his best hockey over that stretch.
The Huskies come into this weekend seven points back of the Mavericks with a 2-16-0 record in WCHA play.
Assistant captain Brett Olson (12-10=22) will look to continue his hot hand, having scored four points in two games against Alaska-Anchorage. Assistant captain Jordan Baker (7-4=11) notched three points on Jan. 16 against the Seawolves and hopes that production will continue.
Freshman defenseman Steven Seigo (2-12=14) is tied for second in the nation in scoring by rookie defensemen.
Game times this weekend are 7:07 p.m. Friday night and 5:07 p.m. on Saturday.

The No. 18 Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs jumped all over the flu-ravaged Michigan Tech Huskies early and often en route to a 8-1 win at the DECC on Saturday night. Justin Fontaine unloaded on the Huskies to the tune of four goals.
