Bemidji State University Women’s Basketball is set to host the University of Mary Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m. for Beach Night. Fans are encouraged to wear their best beach attire for the chance to win a 43-inch smart TV from Midco!

The Beavers enter Thursday on a high note after defeating the St. Cloud State University Huskies, 59-58, on Tuesday. This win created the first season sweep over SCSU in program history, the Beavers grabbing the 2-0 advantage.

BSU holds 14th place in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, marking an overall record of 5-14 this season with a 3-12 record in the conference. The Beavers will hope to remain in the win column over the coming weeks as the season winds to a close.

Rachel Koenig leads the team from the free-throw line, shooting at .875 percent this season, missing just five shots on 40 attempts.

Leading the Beavers in rebounding is freshman Aubrey Heyer with 5.2 per game. Heyer is just two rebounds shy of cracking the 100-rebound mark.

Following Thursday’s game, the Beavers host the University of Minnesota Crookston for a pre-National Girls and Women in Sports Day Celebration on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
