HOUGHTON, Mich. -- Behind Sara Wendt’s game-winning strike and Alyssa Stumbaugh’s 10-save effort, the Bemidji State women’s soccer team earned its first win of the 2022 season.
The No. 9 Beavers held firm all afternoon, defeating Michigan Tech 1-0 on Sunday in Houghton, Mich.
Wendt headed in a goal in the 20th minute off a Megan Majewski corner kick, giving BSU (1-1-1) the 1-0 edge. It was Wendt’s first goal of the season and the 36th of her career, which has her 13 shy of Rachael Norton’s all-time program record of 49 goals.
On the opposite end of the field, Stumbaugh and the backline didn’t let the Huskies (2-2) find the back of the net. Stumaugh’s 10 saves are a new career high.
Michigan Tech outshot the Beavers 26-5 overall and 10-4 in shots on goal.
