Defensive Workload Mounts as Huskies Return to Kearly Stadium
The Huskies return to Houghton following a tough 4-0 road loss at Northern Michigan on October 18 in Marquette, where Wildcats attackers peppered the net with 33 total shots. Goalkeeper Bri Barrows anchored the defense during that tough outing by recording 13 saves. That performance pushed her season total to 103 stops across 14 matches, cementing a vital defensive role under second-year head coach Melissa Kuhar. Kuhar took the helm as the program’s third head coach on June 3, 2024, following four seasons as an assistant coach at Drury University.
Michigan Tech Faces Parkside on Senior Day
Ferris State arrives at Kearly Stadium holding a 5-6-3 overall record and a 3-5-2 mark in GLIAC play, coming off a 2-0 loss at Purdue Northwest on October 18. Sunday marks Senior Day for Michigan Tech, concluding the home schedule against Parkside at noon in Houghton. The Rangers previously defeated the Huskies 2-0 in Kenosha on September 18, earning conference wins over both Purdue Northwest and Ferris State along the way. Tech’s attack aims to find a breakthrough after being held scoreless on the road last weekend, relying on contributors like Karli Koskinen, who has tallied a goal and two assists this season alongside goalscorers Havanah Brockington and Reilly Lovercheck.
