SERIES HISTORY
SCSU enters the weekend with an 3-9-0 mark all-time against Minot State with its last win against the Beavers coming on Nov. 1, 2019, a 2-0 win in Minot. Against Mary, St. Cloud State is 10-7-1 all-time. In their last matchup, Mary came away with a 2-0 win on Sept. 9, 2022 in Bismarck.
BEST START IN PROGRAM HISTORY
With the Huskies 2-1 win over Concordia-St. Paul on Oct. 2, the Huskies improved to 7-2-1 on the season, setting a program record for the best 10-game start in program history, surpassing its mark of 7-3-0 in the 1995 season. SCSU also improved to 4-1-1 in NSIC play, its best start to a conference season since a 4-0-2 mark in 2016.
With each win, SCSU continues to set new highs. The Huskies 3-1-0 start to conference play is its best start to a conference season since starting 3-1-0 in 2010. The win over Augustana on Sept. 24 was SCSU's first since 2013.
With a 2-1 win over Minnesota Duluth, St. Cloud State improved to 4-1-0 on the season, marking its best five-game start to a season since 2000 when it reached the same mark. SCSU's pair of wins over UMD extended its win streak to seven over the Bulldogs dating back to Sept. 9, 2018. During that seven-game win streak, SCSU has outscored UMD, 17-4.
The season-opening victory marked the 13th time in program history SCSU has opened its season with a victory and the first since a 3-0 win over Northern Michigan on Sept. 1 to open the 2017 season.
SCORING FROM ALL ANGLES
The Huskies currently have five players who have found the net twice through 10 games in 2023, as Ariel Hawkey (3), Jenna Dominguez (2), Gracie Parsons (2), Ellie Primerano (2) and Linsey Trapino (2) have all recorded two or more goals. Primerano has the current point lead with eight points (2g/4a), while Hawkey has produced seven points (3g/1a). Parsons is close behind with six points (2g/2a) while Trapino (2g) and Dominguez (2g) each have four points.
STRICKLAND STIFLES IN GOAL
Freshman goalkeeper Jaylee Strickland (Columbus, Ohio) has made the most of her opportunity in the net for the Huskies, as she has played every minute of the Huskies first 10 games this season, registering a 7-2-1 record with three shutouts. Through 10 games, she has produced a 0.90 goals-against-average and an .809 save percentage. In the NSIC, she ranks fifth in shutouts (four) and goals against average (0.90). The freshman goalkeeper is not too far from joining the top-10 list for goalkeeper seasons in program history, as her 0.90 GAA would rank fifth if the season ended today, while she's just one shutout away from joining the season and career top-10 list.
DOMINGUEZ ON RECORD BOOK WATCH
Fifth-year senior Jenna Dominguez (Geneva, Ill.) will get her final chance to further etch her name in the SCSU record book in her final season donning the red and black for SCSU. The 2019 All-NSIC Honorable Mention honoree already ranks amongst the best offensive players in program history, as she ranks second in career game-winning goals (10), eighth in career points (44 points), ninth career goals (17 goals) and 10th in career assists (10 assists). Her four game-winning goals in 2019 and three in 2022 also rank second and fifth, respectively, on the all-time single season list. Dominguez leads the NSIC in game-winning goals (two) and is one of 20 athletes in the NSIC to score two+ goals in 2023.
30th SEASON OF ST. CLOUD STATE WOMEN'S SOCCER
The 2023 season will serve as the 30th season of St. Cloud State Women's Soccer, with its inaugural campaign kicking off in 1994. The Huskies have recorded 10 or more wins in six seasons, including most recently in 2019 under head coach Gretta Macdonald when SCSU went 12-5-3 and advanced to the second round of the NSIC Tournament. In 30 seasons, SCSU is 220-243-62 overall, including a 118-92-33 (.553) mark in St. Cloud and an 82-62-25 (.557) record at Husky Stadium, which opened in 2004 and is affectionately known as "Husky Heaven" by the team.
In the 30 days leading up to Homecoming weekend (Oct. 6-8), St. Cloud State Women's Soccer will celebrate different moments of the past 30 years of soccer at St. Cloud State. Join in on the celebration at SCSUHuskies.com.
