The Bemidji State Beavers were out-shot 15-2 in a game where MSU-Moorhead capitalized on the opportunities it had while BSU could not.

The Dragons took the lead in the 16th minute when Maureen Ross scored on a header off a corner kick from Kelsey Mellard. The Beavers would get their best scoring opportunity just a few minutes later when Lindsey Natwick would break away from the pack and beat the MSUM goaltender only to be stopped by the crossbar.

“We hit the crossbar early when it was 1-0 and were pushing for a goal. Unfortunately we got scored on a couple times later in the game,” commented coach Jim Stone after the game.
Out-shooting the Beavers 12-1 in the second half, Magan Sawarynski would score in the 80th minute and Mellard would add another to bring the score to 3-0.

In the game, Nicole Dalka allowed three goals and made 9 saves.

The Beavers will travel to Crookston, Minn. tomorrow to face the University of Minnesota-Crookston in NSIC competition. The game is scheduled for a 4:00 p.m. start.
