Michigan Technological University’s Women’s Soccer earned their first win of the season when they took on Roosevelt on Oct. 9, 2026. This was followed by a game against Purdue Northwest two days later that resulted in a tie game for the Huskies.
The team had just come off a loss to Northern Michigan University with a score of 0-4. However, Head Coach Melissa Kuhar commented in a press conference, “The first 25 minutes we dominated possessions, we created things in the attack. Yeah, it’s just trying to bottle that and replicate it for the full 90.” Understanding their continual struggles, the team was able to come together and shut out Roosevelt.
Another issue mentioned in the press conference was that the players should take their opportunities when they arrive, but they just haven’t been able to execute those opportunities when they have come.” Kuhar expanded, “They have to be selfish… They just have to take that demand of the ball and put it in the back of the net and… take that extra pass.”
Going into the game with Purdue Northwest, the team wanted to use their momentum from the game against Roosevelt to secure another win. The game ended in a 1-1 tie, their second for the season. The program hopes to continue improving as a whole, and with the rest of the season on the horizon, they have plenty of chances.
With the team’s first win and tie, that puts them at 1-10-2 for the season. The team will be looking to turn around the results from their previous encounter against Northern Michigan University on Oct. 18. The team will look to right its wrongs against the Wildcats to gain another hard-fought win.
