Bemidji State University’s Maria McLeod (M, Jr., White Bear Lake, Minn.) and Markus Gerbrandt (F, So., Edmonton, Alberta) have been named Beaver Pride Athletes of the Week, after recording outstanding athletic performances between Oct. 21-27.

McLeod helped lead the BSU soccer team to a two-win NSIC weekend Oct. 26-27.

She finished the weekend with three points and two shots on goal.

McLeod currently sits second on the team with five assists (0g-5a).

This week’s Beaver Pride Athlete of the Week selection marks the fourth for the BSU soccer team. She follows Tiffany VanHaaften (Oct. 16), Sarah Stram (Oct. 2) and Mary O’Brien (Sept. 25).
