In the final week of the regular season, Bemidji State University and Northern State University play with hopes of winning the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference North Division title. The Beavers (6-4, 5-1 NSIC North) can create a three-way tie for the division title with a win versus the Wolves (6-4, 6-0 NSIC North) at 1 p.m. Saturday at Clark Swisher Field in Aberdeen, S.D.

BSU and NSU meet for the 39th time in series history. The Wolves lead the series by one game, 19-18-1. After a six-game win streak by BSU from 2005-2010, NSU has won three of the last four matchups, including a 48-41 win in the most recent meeting Nov. 15, 2014 in Bemidji, Minn. The Beavers trailed by as many as 28 points before cutting the deficit to just seven in the fourth quarter. Junior wide receiver Jordan Noskowiak caught two fourth-quarter touchdowns from freshman quarterback Jordan Hein as the comeback attempt fell just short.

Head Coach Jeff Tesch, now in his 20th season at BSU, is 12-7 against Northern State. The Beavers have averaged 28.3 points per game against the Wolves in Tesch’s time as head coach while allowing 28.6 per game.
