The Beavers will host MSU Moorhead tonight at 8 p.m. before entertaining Northern State tomorrow at 6 p.m. The three teams, along with St. Cloud State, all enter the weekend at 7-3 in NSIC play, creating a four-way tie atop the North Division.

BEMIDJI -- After a pair of losses to teams drawing national attention, BSU will try to bounce back this weekend as it hosts MSU Moorhead and Northern State. The Beavers ran with Augustana for the first half, but could not keep up with the Vikings in the second half and lost 99-82. "I thought it was a pretty good effort against Augustana," BSU head coach Mike Curfman said. "Offensively, we did some things very well. Defensively, we played well, but made too many mistakes and they made us pay."
BEMIDJI -- The BSU women's track and field team will host the 25th annual Super 8 Multi Meet this weekend at the Gillett Recreation-Fitness Center.

Kevin Williamson of the Super 8 has been fantastic to us, so I have to thank him." This will be the second meet for the Beavers this season, as they competed in The Opener in Duluth on Dec. 7.

The Wildcats raced ahead to an early 17-4 lead in the first seven minutes of the game and never looked back. With 5:48 remaining in the first half, Wayne State had built a commanding 31-6 lead. Wayne State owned a 40-13 advantage at the half.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- BSU just could not keep up with Augustana in a 99-82 loss in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference action Friday night. Augustana (9-4, 5-4 NSIC) entered the game as the fourth-best scoring offense in the NSIC and Friday, it showed why, getting just one point shy of 100 in their 17-point rout. Shaunteva Ashley and Riley Nordgaard led the Vikings with 22 points each and were among four players in double figures.
BEMIDJI -- It was a tale of two halves for the Bemidji High School girls basketball team in its 67-51 loss to Duluth East Thursday at the BHS Gym. Duluth East outscored Bemidji 41-22 in the second half to earn the comeback win. It was the fourth-straight loss for the Lumberjacks, now 3-7.
BEMIDJI -- Both the mens and womens basketball teams at BSU concluded last weekend with a win Saturday after suffering different kinds of tough losses Friday. The women's team shot just 16.7 percent in a 62-31 loss to Winona State Friday, but recovered with a 64-59 win over Upper Iowa the next night. "It was a great bounceback," women's head coach Mike Curfman said. "To shoot as poorly as we did Friday was very disappointing, but to get a good win over a good Upper Iowa team was encouraging. It led to a really good week of practice."
