ST. PAUL, Minn. - The Bemidi State University soccer team continued its weekend road swing as the Beavers traveled to Concordia-St. Paul for a Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference matchup with the Golden Bears. The Beavers almost doubled Concordia-St. Paul in total shots but was only able to muster one goal as Golden Bear goaltender Hannah Turgerson was able to keep the Beavers in check.

The teams played the first 15:00 minutes even, but a pair of Golden Bear goals at 15:07 and 35:53 of the first period would send the Beavers to the locker room down 2-0 at the half.

Sam Voeller struck first sliding a goal past the BSU goalkeeper, Kari Torgerson (Sr., New Hope, Minn.) in the 15th minute of play on a pass from Kyla Rentch. Hillary Johnson would give the Golden Bears a two-goal cushion in the 35th minute when Nikki Hertel and Rachel Vitense combined to feed Johnson for the goal.

In the second half the Beavers would out shoot the Golden Bears 10-to-3 but didn’t get on the board until the 84th minute of play when Lauren Olivares (So., El Paso, Texas) and Christina Hicks (Jr., Minnetonka, Minn.) found Jamie Ford (Fr., Edina, Minn.) streaking for the Beavers first goal of the game and her fourth of the season.

Torgerson played 87 minutes in net for BSU making four saves in the 2-1 loss.

The CSP goalkeeper, Hannah Turgerson was forced to make seven saves while allowing Ford’s tally.

BSU, 5-5-0 on the season and 2-2-0 in NSIC play will be back in action Oct. 1-2 when the Beavers host
