BEMIDJI -- Fresh off the best season in program history, the Bemidji State football team now has the follow-up tour mapped out.

The Beavers released their 2022 schedule on Monday, which includes five home games and a road rematch against an NCAA Tournament opponent.

BSU begins the season at home, kicking off with Minnesota State at 6 p.m. on Sept. 1 at Chet Anderson Stadium. Then comes a road matchup at Augustana on Sept. 10, a rematch of last season’s NCAA Tournament debut for Bemidji State -- a game the Beavers won 28-24.

Homecoming week follows against Winona State on Sept. 17, while road tests at Upper Iowa (Sept. 24) and Minot State (Oct. 1) come next.

BSU will host Concordia-St. Paul on Oct. 8 and battle for the Axe at Minnesota State Moorhead on Oct. 15.

Bemidji State closes the season by hosting Minnesota Duluth (Oct. 22), hitting the road against Southwest Minnesota State (Oct. 29), hosting Northern State (Nov. 5) and traveling to U-Mary (Nov. 12).

The Beavers finished 2021 with a 10-3 record and a share of the NSIC championship. They defeated Augie in the first round of the NCAA Tournament before bowing out in the Sweet 16 against No. 9 Colorado Mines on a 55-6 loss.
