The perfect script was written long before the Huskies ever stepped foot in Missouri for the 2010 NCAA Division II Elite Eight. After reaching the Elite Eight last year, this year’s women’s basketball team featured six seniors who led a Husky squad that started the year No. 1 in the polls. After putting together a school record 31 wins and taking the GLIAC and NCAA Midwest Regional Championships, the Huskies looked primed to end the year No. 1 as well.

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.

With a 25-2 regular season behind them, the Huskies’ women’s basketball team began what many are hoping will be a long postseason run. Even though Michigan Tech earned the top seed in the GLIAC Tournament, Tuesday’s quarterfinal opponent, the Northwood Timberwolves, had challenged Michigan Tech to four- and eight-point margins earlier this year. This time was different. The Huskies stormed out of the gates and never looked back, earning a strong 78-52 victory over the injury-depleted T’Wolves.

After suffering just their second loss of the season on Saturday, the Huskies’ women’s basketball team looked to rebound against a Lake Superior State squad that had won four straight games heading into Thursday.

With the GLIAC Championship and the No. 1 spot in the regional rankings, the Michigan Tech women’s basketball team completely controlled their own destiny over the final three regular season games. Nobody necessarily overlooked the Hillsdale Chargers, but with the pressure off for the Huskies, perhaps there was an assumption that the Huskies would win out.  That turned out to be a misplaced assumption, as Hillsdale overcome a 17-point second half deficit to shock the No. 3 Huskies, ending Michigan Tech’s 13-game winning streak and handing the Huskies just their second loss of the season, 68-65.

The Michigan Tech women’s basketball team is really starting to peak at the right time of year, winning 12 straight games, including a convincing 21-point victory over Grand Valley State, the second-place team in the GLIAC behind the Huskies.

The Michigan Tech women’s basketball team showed that their recent defensive dominance was no fluke. After winning a double overtime battle against Grand Valley State in Allendale, the Huskies shut down the second best offense (the Huskies are first) in the GLIAC, decisively defeating the Lakers in Houghton 68-47 on Saturday afternoon.

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.
