About the Beavers
Bemidji State swept St. Cloud State University last weekend at Sanford Center by scores of 3-1 and 1-0. The sweep was the fifth of the season for BSU, which is a new single-season program record.

BSU’s offense has been powered by a trio of juniors this season. Kaitlyn Tougas paces the team in points with 22 (9g, 13a), while Stephanie Anderson and Ivana Bilic lead the way in goals (10) and assists (14), respectively.

Sophomore Brittni Mowat has started 24 of the 30 games in net for Bemidji State this season. The Glenboro, Manitoba native has a 14-9-1 record to go along with an 1.57 goals against average and .947 save percentage. Mowat’s 14 victories are the most by a goaltender in a single season in program history.

Minnesota State (3-25-1, 1-21-1 WCHA) is fresh off a three-game week where it won its first conference game against St. Cloud State Monday, 5-1 but was swept by Ohio State on the road by scores of 3-2 and 6-0.

Freshmen Nicole Schammel and Hannah Davidson have led the Mavericks’ offense with 19 points (9g, 10a) and 14 points (6g, 8a), respectively. In addition to the pair of newcomers, senior Kathleen Rogan (3g, 6a=9pts.) has also supplied some scoring as she is tied for fourth all-time in scoring at Minnesota State with 78 points (38g, 40a).

Erin Krichiver has saw the bulk of the time in goal for the Mavericks and has a record of 2-18-1 with a 4.07 goals against average and .907 save percentage. Sophomore Brianna Quade has started MSU’s 11 remaining contests and has a mark of 1-7-0 with a 4.56 goals against average and .894 save percentage.
