Bemidji State (8-13-7; 8-8-4 WCHA) will have the Jan. 31-Feb.1 weekend free from competition. The Beavers will return to action Feb. 6-7 when they travel to Minnesota State University, Mankato for a two-game Western Collegiate Hockey Association series at the Verizon Wireless Center.

Phillip Marinaccio (F, Fr., Nobleton, Ontario) put Bemidji State up 2-0 last Saturday before the end of the first collecting a rebound off a shot from the point by Illo and pushed it past the Nanooks’ goaltender for the fifth goal of his rookie season.
