VIDEO – Beaver Fever Friday – Katie Espe – Soccer

Bemidji State goaltender Sonja Barr has been selected as the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Goalkeeper of the Week, announced today by league officials, after leading the BSU soccer team to a pair of wins in league play Oct. 18-19.

Barr led the Beavers to a 2-0-0 record last weekend in home matches versus Northern State University and Minnesota State University Moorhead. Saturday she collected eight saves in a 4-0 victory over NSU and turned aside three shots Sunday in a 3-0 victory over the Dragons. Her third and fourth shutouts of the season matched a career-high set in 2012 and stretched her current shutout streak to a career long 289 minutes and seven seconds. She finished the weekend with 11 saves for a perfect save percentage (1.000) and a goals against average of 0.00.

The Beavers, which improved to 7-6-1 overall and 6-4-1 in NSIC play, ride a five-match unbeaten streak (4-0-1) into a pair of home contests next weekend. BSU hosts Upper Iowa University at 6 p.m. Friday and wraps up the weekend with a 1 p.m. match up with Winona State University. Both matches will be played at Chet Anderson Stadium.
