HOUGHTON, Mich. - Michigan Tech was able to over come a poor shooting night (37-percent) to post a 59-42 win over Ohio Dominican in league play Thursday (Dec. 8). The win was the 36th in a row at home for the Huskies.

The Huskies shot 21-of-57 from the field and improve to 6-1 overall and 2-0 in the GLIAC. The Panthers fall to 5-2 overall and 1-2 in the league after committing 25 turnovers, the most by a Tech opponent this season.

"We did a great job of holding a good team to 42 points," said head coach Kim Cameron. "Our shooting needs to be more consistent. Being able to overcome poor shooting and come away with the win was huge for us."

The first half was a back and forth affair with the score tied five times and the two teams trading the lead four times. Lindsey Lindstrom drained a pair of free throws and Emma Veach added a lay-up in the final minute to give the Huskies a 30-25 lead at the end of the first half.

Tech out-scored the Panthers 29-17 over the final 20 minutes for the win.

Senior Lynn Geisler scored a game-high 16 points to lead the Huskies. Junior Emma Veach finished with 10 points shooting 5-of-8 from the floor.
