DENTON, Tex. (9/15/06) – The North Texas women’s soccer team scored two early first half goals and never looked back in the 2-0 win over Northwestern State at the North Texas Soccer Field. The Mean Green (4-2-1) extended its unbeaten streak at home to 18 games with the win.

North Texas dominated play throughout the game, outshooting the Demons 32-6. The 32 shots in the game are the ninth most in school history at North Texas. Freshman Kendall Juett gave North Texas a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute of play off a feed from Heather Hutyra that threaded the Demon’s defenders.

Senior Tiffany Adams made it 2-0 Mean Green two minutes later when she was left alone on the weak side of the Demons net for an easy score.

North Texas had countless chances throughout the second half to extend its lead but could not. Hutyra ended the game with a career-high 11 shots. In a very physical contest, Northwestern State had 24 fouls in the game.

Goalkeeper Kandice Ellis had to make only one save on the night to pick up her 10th career shutout. The shutout for Ellis moves her up to third all-time in school history.

North Texas returns to action on Sunday, September 17 at Grambling State in its final non-conference game of the season.

Pretty well dominated this one, could have been double digits if we had any accuracy at all. One goal was called back for offsides. Brutal second half, luckily no injuries for UNT. Red Card to NWLA player late second half.

Pretty good crowd too, at least 350 or so.

The soccer program gives me hope for the rest of athletics. 2 trips to the NCAA Tournament is pretty good, even if they didn't win when they got there. We're starting to get some recognition and that can't hurt.

With the faciites we have and a more energetic student body I think NT athletics are on the rise. Hopefully the success at soccer spills over into other sports.

I hope so too, I'd like to see the programs start to have year over year success. Looking at the conference today for soccer, gonna be 4 really tough games, based on current records and what you could expect from the programs. Three are at home (W. Kent, Fl Atl, and M.Tenn St), and one on road (Denver). We really need to build those games up with Alum and students and get big crowds for those games. We also need a rowdy student section in the parking lot along the outer fence, think we could get the football guys to wear green and line the fence and make a lot of noise, horns?? Think they will let us? Maybe there are some alums that still have it left in 'em, can we get them out there? Sept 29 is Mid Tenn St, lets break that out on 'em, eh?
