HUSKIES ENTER 2009-10 AS A UNANIMOUS NO. 1
Michigan Tech sits atop both the Division II Bulletin and USA TODAY/ESPN Coaches national preseason polls as it begins the 2009-10 campaign. The Huskies’ No. 1 ranking is the highest in program history. Tech finished 2008-09 ranked No. 8 after advancing to the NCAA Elite Eight.

SENIOR STARTING FIVE
Michigan Tech returns all but one player (Alicia Schneider) from last year’s squad that went 27-7 and won its second straight GLIAC North Division title. All five starters return, and all are seniors. Danae Danen (Green Bay, Wis./Ashwaubenon), Tara Ferris (Hartland, Wis./Waukesha Catholic), Sarah Stream (Ishpeming, Mich./Westwood), Katie Wysocky (Whitefish Bay, Wis.) and Katie Zimmerman (Green Bay, Wis./East) have a combined 445 games of collegiate experience between them.

WYSOCKY AND STREAM GAIN PRESEASON HONORS FROM GLIAC
Senior Katie Wysocky has been named the 2009-10 GLIAC Preseason Player of the Year in voting by the league’s coaches. The 6-0 forward was a Daktronics All-America Third Team honoree last season. For the second straight year, Wysocky and fellow senior Sarah Stream were named to the Preseason All-GLIAC North Division Team.

TECH’S STREAK OF SUCCESS
Michigan Tech won 27 games a year ago—the 13th time in 33 years of women’s basketball the Huskies have reached the 20-win plateau. Tech has 21-year streak of winning seasons that started with 1988-89. Tech has accumulated a 451-169 record (72.7 pct.) over the last 21 seasons.
