With the wind behind them in the second half, the Huskies tallied three more goals. Mackenzie Jordan, Katie Pappas, and Kathryn Fife each scored to extend the MTU lead out to 5-0.

Fife scored her goal on a breakaway, while Jordan and Papas scored their goals off corner kicks. Michigan Tech had the edge in shots, 17-7.

Huskies goalie MaryBeth Spoehr was credited with a shutout. The Huskies are now 2-1-0 to start the season, while the Wildcats are still seeking their first win of the season (0-4-0).
