BURNSVILLE, Minn. – Bemidji State University senior wide receiver Brendan Beaulieu has been named the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Offensive Player of the Week after helping the Beavers earn their ninth consecutive victory at University of Mary this past Saturday.
 
Beaulieu caught five passes for 128 yards with three going for touchdowns to tie a career high for receiving touchdowns. With the 51-14 win over the Marauders, the Beavers won the NSIC North Division outright and clinched a share of the NSIC Overall Championship.
 
The win also helped the Beavers secure a home playoff game for the first time in program history as the Beavers will host Winona State University for the first round of the NCAA Division II Football Tournament.
