MOORHEAD, Minn. -- Bemidji State University goalkeepers Kari Torgerson (Sr., New Hope, Minn.) and Jessica Meath (So., Bethel, Minn.) combined to hold Minnesota State University, Moorhead scoreless Saturday afternoon in Moorhead, Minn., to vault BSU to a 3-0 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference victory.

The Beavers and Dragons felt eachother out during the first 30 minutes of play, but Kelly Hyvare (So., Coon Rapids, Minn.) broke the seal on the MSUM net notching her eighth goal of the season during the 32nd minute.

Kaitlin Wolff (Jr., East Grand Forks, Minn,) took a pass from Danielle Uphoff (Fr., Brainerd, Minn.) to put BSU up 2-0 before the half (43rd). The tally stands as the first of the fall for Wolff and gives Uphoff a third helper.

The Beavers would come out of the break to add to their lead. NSIC scoring leader posted her league-leading ninth goal of the season just four minutes in to the second half (48:32) unassisted.

In the net, BSU goalkeepers turned away all four Dragons' shots on goal as Torgerson posted three saves during the first half of play and Meath recorded one playing the final 45 minutes of the contest.

The shut out stands as the Beavers' fourth of the season and the second time Torgerson and Meath have combined for a blanking in 2006.

Bemidji State moves to 5-4-0 on the season and 2-1-0 in NSIC play. The team travels to St. Paul, Minn. tomorrow to battle Concordia University-St. Paul in a 1:00 p.m. NSIC tilt.
