HUSKIES INTO TOP 10 IN WBCA POLL
For the first time this season and first time since 1999, the Michigan Tech women's basketball team is ranked in the top 10 of the WBCA ESPN/USA TODAY Division II Poll. The Huskies are tied for 10th in the poll, up five spots from its No. 15 rank a week ago. Tech opened the year No. 12 in the WBCA poll and No. 7 in the Division II Bulletin Preseason Poll. Michigan Tech has been ranked in the top 25 all season long.

TECH LOOKING TO MAKE HISTORY
