The Bemidji State University soccer team fell to 2-4 overall and 0-2 in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference after today’s loss to Wayne State College 1-0 on the BSU Field.

Wayne State took the lead five minutes into the match when Mary St. Martin found the net off a pass from Becky Woefel. Although both teams would have multiple opportunities to change the score, it remained 1-0 and gave Wayne State its first conference win of the year.

Bemidji State came out in the second half much more aggressively but could not get a goal past the Wayne State goalkeeper. “We had some good looks, we just could follow through on our attacks,” commented head coach Jim Stone after the loss. “It was a very physical game and we played hard.”

The Beavers will be back in action Tuesday (Oct. 1) when the University of Wisconsin-Superior comes to the BSU Field for a non-conference match. The game is scheduled for a 4:00 p.m. start and marks the third times the teams have met in the history of the program. BSU leads the series 2-0.
