The Huskies will look to remain perfect against both of its upcoming opponents this weekend, as SCSU holds a 22-0-2 mark against Minnesota Crookston and a 31-0-2 mark against MSU Moorhead.
SCSU brings a seven-game winning-streak into Friday's game against the Golden Eagles, with six of the seven wins coming via shutout and outscoring UMC, 20-2. Last season, the Huskies earned a 1-0 victory over UMC in a game played on Oct. 26 in Crookston. Junior midfielder Jordan Kardelis (Muskego, Wis.) scored the game's lone goal to lift the Huskies to victory.
The Huskies have won their last five meetings the Dragons, with three coming as shutouts and a combined score of 15-2 in that stretch. In last season's meeting, Kardelis was one of three SCSU goal scorers in a 4-1 win over the Dragons on Oct. 24 in Moorhead.
POSTSEASON OUTLOOK
With just five games remaining in the regular season, the race for home field advantage in the NSIC Tournament is heating up. With teams jostling for a top four spot to host the NSIC Quarterfinals at home on Nov. 2, only five points separate teams ranked third-ninth. The Huskies currently sit in seventh place with 17 points, but are only three points out of a third-place finish. SCSU has hosted a first round game each of the last three seasons and five times overall since 2008.
NSIC Standings (as of Oct. 15, 2026)
TRAPINO KEEPS SCORING
Always known as an offensive threat, senior forward Linsey Trapino (Verona, Wis.) has continued to produce offensively to lead the way for the Huskies this season. She currently leads the team in goals (nine), points (20) and shots on goal (22) while ranking third, second and third, respectively, in those categories among NSIC leaders.
Trapino is on a generational run of goal scoring, netting six goals in the last five games. She is the first Husky player to score in five consecutive games since Alexander Pafko did so from Sept. 26 – Oct. 10, 2009 (seven goals). She set a new program record with her game-winning score against Concordia-St. Paul on Oct. 11, as her 12th game-winning goal surpassed Pafko's 11 from 2008-10.
A three-time All-NSIC second team selection, Trapino ranks among SCSU's top-10 all-time in career goals (29 – third), assists (14 – seventh), points (72 – second) and game-winning goals (12 – first). Her nine goals this season rank eighth all-time among single season records, while her 1.54 points per game (22g/13gp) rank third and her 20 points are just outside the top-10.
Trapino's nine goals are a new career-high for a single season, surpassing her previous best of eight in 2025.
ALLEN'S ASSISTS
Junior midfielder Darby Allen (Minnetonka, Minn.) currently leads the NSIC in assists with five. She is one of four players in the NSIC to record five helpers this season. Allen had only recorded one assist through 40 games in two seasons in her freshman and sophomore campaigns before reaching five this season.
