<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 />
