North Texas Notches Its First Win Of The Season Over Texas State 3-0

Release: 08/31/2005

DENTON, Tex. (8/31/05) – Make it 11-for-11. The North Texas (1-2) women’s soccer team defeated Texas State 3-0 at the Mean Green Soccer Complex to win its 11th straight home opener. North Texas used a strong offensive attack as they out-shot the Bobcats (0-3) 25-8 to win for the 38th time in its last 43 games at home.

“I think we outplayed them from the start tonight,” said North Texas head coach John Hedlund. “We missed some opportunities but we are still looking to find that right chemistry. We have a lot of speed out there but we just need to find the right mix”.

The Mean Green started the scoring off in the 35th minute when junior Angela Hawkins notched her second goal of the season from the top of the box 10 yards out.

North Texas carried a 1-0 lead into the break after out-shooting Texas State 11-3 in the first half.

Sophomore Heather Hutyra, who finished the night with seven shots, extended the North Texas lead to 2-0 in the first minute of the second half with her first goal of the season. Hutyra scored on a breakaway after getting a feed from freshman Kelli Lunsford.

Texas State mounted their best scoring chance in the 62nd minute, but North Texas sophomore goalkeeper Kandice Ellis stopped Danielle Holloway’s shot from 15 yards out. Ellis made a career-high five saves and collected her first career shutout to pick up the win.

Sophomore Dani Slavonic rounded out the scoring for the Mean Green in the 89th minute with her first goal of the season off a corner kick.

North Texas returns to action on Sunday afternoon with a visit to metroplex rival SMU at 1 p.m. in Dallas

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Respectfully Darrell Dickey was one Big West season away from being fired. If the Sun Belt hadn’t fallen into his lap he’d have been gone at the end of 2001. And yes Dickey had tough out of conference games, but he also lost to both Troy and FAU during the 26 game conference win streak (they just weren’t in our conference yet). Here is a snippet from one of my prior posts on Dickey. I doubt anyone would say ULM had facilities advantages on us, even in 2001. From October 13, 2001 to September 10, 2005, Dickey’s teams won 26 consecutive conference games. The streak was bookended by wins over the MUTS. The week before the streak started we lost to 2-9 conference mate ULM. The game that ended the streak was a loss to 4-7 Troy. The combined record for the 26 teams run through was 99-203. If you exclude the 26 losses from NT, their combined record was 99-177. Of those 26 wins, just three came against bowl-eligible teams. Additionally, we lost to future conference mates Troy at the end of ‘01 and FAU at the start of ‘04 which would’ve shrunken the streak to 13 games if they had been in our conference at the time.

      I definitely understand we lack financial prosperity like other colleges not far from us. However, I also have to look at the amount of resources and $$$ we will continue to “lose” by allowing the program to continue faltering. SL got us one step above. EM and company is endangering this program to take a step back down figuratively. We had a great opportunity this season to present “our brand” to a national audience, and I’m afraid we showed it.

      Is this the best team UNT has ever had?

      And that is certainly one of the opinions about NT football of all time.
