<strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> is back at home for two<br />
games this week beginning tomorrow<br />
night with <strong>Texas</strong> Woman’s University.<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> will conclude the week with<br />
a road trip to Grambling State in the final<br />
non-conference game this season. <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Texas</strong> is a combined 6-0 against the three<br />
upcoming opponents this week.<br />
A Sign Of Respect<br />
Despite losing two games over the weekend,<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> remains ranked 15th in<br />
the Central Region. The <strong>Mean</strong> <strong>Green</strong>’s<br />
only blemishes on the season have been<br />
to No. 20 USC, No. 32 Nebraska, and<br />
SMU, which is ranked 9th in the Central<br />
Region.<br />
Hutyra Inches Forward<br />
Junior Heather Hutyra notched her 28th<br />
career goal and 69th career point over the<br />
04’ 05’ NCAA Tournament<br />
weekend. She is now tied for sixth place<br />
all-time in goals and seventh place in<br />
points at <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong>.<br />
Strong In September<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> has been a strong starting<br />
team in years past, posting a record of 65-<br />
20-05 in the month of September. Despite<br />
two losses this month, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> has<br />
never had more than three losses in the<br />
month of September.<br />
Losing A Good Thing<br />
Not to often has <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> had a losing<br />
streak. In fact the longest losing streak<br />
in history is just three games, which has<br />
happened only twice in school history. In<br />
the past three seasons, two game losing<br />
streaks have actually been a good sign<br />
of things to come. Since 2003, the <strong>Mean</strong><br />
<strong>Green</strong> has suffered three, two-game losing<br />
streaks. Last season <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> went on<br />

The <strong>2006</strong> Sun Belt Conference Soccer<br />
Tournament will be hosted by Louisiana-<br />
Lafayette. The<br />
tournament<br />
begins on<br />
November 1<br />
and concludes<br />
with the<br />
championship game on November 4. The<br />
winner will get an automatic bid to the<br />
NCAA Tournament.<br />
a 15-game unbeaten streak after losing<br />
two in a row. In 2004, the <strong>Mean</strong> <strong>Green</strong><br />
won seven of its next nine games and in<br />
2003 <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> won five of the next six<br />
games it played.<br />
Scouting The Opponents<br />
<strong>Texas</strong> Woman’s University enters the<br />
game on Wednesday with a 2-3-1 record.<br />
The Pioneers are coming off a 3-1 loss to<br />
Nebraska-Omaha. <strong>North</strong>western State is 4-<br />
3 on the year after an 8-0 rout of Southern.<br />
The Lady Demons have won three of its<br />
past four games including a victory over<br />
SBC foe Louisiana-Monroe.<br />
Offense Looking For Breakout Game<br />
While the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> defense has been<br />
as good as advertised, the <strong>Mean</strong> <strong>Green</strong><br />
offense has yet to have a breakout game.<br />
Through the first five games <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong><br />
has scored only seven goals, the fewest in<br />
school history through five games. However<br />
things could change after this week’s<br />
three games. Against the three opponents<br />
this week, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> is averaging 8.1<br />

The Last Time Out<br />
LINCOLN, Neb. (9/10/06) – No 22 ranked<br />
USC scored two first half goals to slip by<br />
the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> (2-2-1) women’s soccer<br />
team 2-0 in the final game of the Nebraska<br />
Adidas Invitational. USC (4-1-1) began<br />
things early as Nina Loucks scored 97 seconds<br />
into the match off a cross from Amy<br />
Rodriguez to make it 1-0. The Trojans<br />
added to the lead in the 18th minute of<br />
play when Rodriguez scored on a rebound<br />
to make it 2-0 USC. Heather Hutyra and<br />
Kristen Campbell had three shots apiece<br />
for <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong>, but the combination of<br />
Veronica Simonton and Brittany Massro<br />
kept the <strong>Mean</strong> <strong>Green</strong> off the board. USC<br />
out-shot the <strong>Mean</strong> <strong>Green</strong> 17-10 in the<br />
match. <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> goalkeeper Kandice<br />

Head coach John Hedlund<br />
Having established himself as one of the most prominent coaches in the Central Region,<br />
John Hedlund, who is in his 12th year at <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong>, led the <strong>Mean</strong> <strong>Green</strong> soccer team to<br />
its first ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament and a school-record 16 wins in 2004.<br />
How did Hedlund follow that up? Easy. Hedlund equaled that performance by leading<br />
the <strong>Mean</strong> <strong>Green</strong> to back-to-back SBC titles in 2005 and a second straight trip to the<br />
NCAA Tournament. Hedlund was also named the 2005 Sun Belt Conference Coach of<br />
the Year. Last season <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> set numerous school records and had the nation’s third<br />
longest unbeaten streak at 15 games<br />
Since starting the program from scratch in 1995 by implementing a gameplan that<br />
emphasizes recruiting from the surplus of talent available in the Lone Star State, the<br />
<strong>Mean</strong> <strong>Green</strong> has vaulted into one of the premier programs in the state of <strong>Texas</strong>. During<br />
Hedlund’s tenure at <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> he has won 153 games and currently ranks 16th among<br />
active coaches in the NCAA in winning percentage.<br />
During his 11 years as the head coach of the <strong>Mean</strong> <strong>Green</strong>, Hedlund has seen 39 players<br />
selected to the all-conference team, 11 players named all-region, and the <strong>Mean</strong> <strong>Green</strong> has<br />
never had a losing season in the program’s history. Under Hedlund’s leadership <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Texas</strong> has captured three Sun Belt Conference regular season championships and two<br />
Sun Belt Conference Tournament titles.<br />
But winning is nothing new to Hedlund and the <strong>Mean</strong> <strong>Green</strong>. His teams have been<br />
ranked in the Top 10 in the Central Region by Soccer Buzz in 10 of the last 11 years,<br />
with the 2005 club posting the school’s best-ever record of 16-4-2.<br />
Hedlund’s program can boast having never had a losing record. Since joining the Sun<br />
Belt Conference six years ago, the <strong>Mean</strong> <strong>Green</strong> have established themselves one of the<br />
league’s premier programs. With the program’s success has come recognition for Hedlund<br />
and his players. Three years ago Hedlund was recognized as the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> Coach<br />
of the Year by the Dallas Morning News and the Dallas All Sports Association. This past<br />
season Hedlund was named the Coach of the Year by the Greater Denton Sports Commission<br />
for a second straight season.<br />
