INDIANAPOLIS – The Bemidji State women’s soccer team is sitting pretty in the latest edition of the NCAA Division II women’s soccer regional rankings.
The No. 21 Beavers are ranked second in the Central Region, trailing only Central Missouri in the second edition of the rankings released on Wednesday. Fellow Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference member Minnesota State rounds out the top three teams.
The NSIC placed four teams in the rankings in total, including No. 9 Minot State and No. 10 Augustana.
