JAMESTOWN, ND. - The Bemidji State soccer team scored three
unanswered goals to beat Jamestown College this afternoon in
Jamestown, North Dakota. The Beavers earned their fourth victory
of the season, tying the school record set during the 2002-03
season.
Jamestown jumped to an early 1-0 lead in the match as Kathleen
Wesseman beat goalkeeper Kari Torgerson in the 10th minute.
After making several position adjustments at halftime BSU tied
the contest in the 48th minute when sophomore
Erin Foss
tallied her first collegiate goal off an assist from freshman
Whitney Sengthao. Foss scored her goal after
moving from defense to a midfielder position.
Whitney Sengthao then notched her first career goal and second
point of the match in the 79th minute to put the Beavers in
front 2-1. Freshman
Ashley Lehmeier was credited
with her first assist on the goal.
BSU put the finishing touches on the contest just two minutes
later as freshman
Traci Ringgenberg scored
her third goal in three matches to lengthen the Beavers lead
to 3-1. Ringgenberg is believed to be the first BSU player in
program history to score a goal in three consecutive matches.
Head coach Jim Stone was pleased with his team’s ability
to comeback after falling behind 1-0.
“We have been playing well and to score three goals and
win the match after trailing early on means a lot to this program,”
Stone said.
Stone also praised the two-point performance from Whitney Sengthao.
“Whitney has been working hard all year and she is showing
us why she was an all-state player in high school last year,”
Stone said.
The Beavers are now 4-10-1 on the season and 1-4-0 in NSIC play.
BSU will take on the University of Mary Sunday afternoon at
1:00 p.m. in Bismarck, North Dakota.
