The UMDBulldogs.com website doesn't have the weekend preview up yet, so below is the Bemidji State website preview for this weekend's DECC series. I've posted the first page+1/2, click the blog title to go visit the complete preview!
This Week’s Story lines
• The Beavers began their 2007-08 season last weekend and came
away with an 0-1-1 record against Minnesota State University,
Mankato. Bemidji State skated to a 3-1 loss in Friday’s matchup
with the Mavericks, but came back from a 2-0 deficit in Saturday’s
game to tie MSU 2-2.
• Julie Rising (Fr., Millbrae, Calif.) began her BSU career with
a bang last weekend. She scored two goals (one short-handed)
in two games, and was named WCHA Rookie of the Week for
her efforts. She is the fourth Beaver in four years to earn the
honor, and will look to continue her scoring ways against the No.
5-ranked Bulldogs.
• Bemidji State will hit the road for the first time this season and
look to build off last week’s 0-1-1 performance against Minnesota
State. Three freshmen (Rising, Eva Schwaerzler (Dornbirn,
Austria) and Erin Cody (Roseville, Minn.)) contributed on the
scoreboard with Rising leading the way. She scored two goals,
Schwaerzler notched one and Cody had an assist for BSU.
• The BSU women’s hockey team has begun Year Two of the
Steve Sertich era. He led the Beavers to an incredible 11 overall
wins and nine conference wins in just his first year at the helm.
After having a full year to bring in recruits, he has added much
scoring to a team that lost most of that after last seasons’ seniors
graduated.
The Coaches
•Bemidji State’s Steve Sertich (Colorado College ‘74) is in his
second season with the Beavers and has an overall record of
11-21-6 in 38 games coached. He is 9-16-5 in 30 regular-season
games against Western Collegiate Hockey Association opponents.
Coach Sertich’s club is currently in 3rd place in WCHA
action after going 0-1-1 to start the season.
• Minnesota Duluth’s Shannon Miller (Saskatchewan ‘85) is in
her eighth season with the Bulldogs and has a career record of
200-57-24 and currently has a season record of 2-0-0 overall
and a 2-0-0 record in WCHA. Miller currently has her team in
first place in the conference.
WCHA play
• Bemidji State prepares for its first road WCHA matchup of
the season as the Beavers travel to Duluth, Minn., to take on the
University of Minnesota Duluth. The last time BSU traveled to
Duluth, the Beavers were shut out in two games. Bemidji State
went 0-4-0 last year against UMD and was outscored 3-20.
• Bemidji State is 5-11-0 all-time in opening road series’ versus
WCHA competition and is 0-6-0 all-time in opening road conference
games at Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center.
