Aug. 10—BEMIDJI — For the fifth consecutive season, the Bemidji State women's soccer team was voted as one of the top three teams in the NSIC.
In the NSIC Preseason Coaches Poll released on Monday, the Beavers were ranked third in the conference. They've been voted top three in the conference in eight of the last nine seasons. Defending NSIC champions Minnesota State was ranked first, while Concordia-St. Paul was ranked second.
"I think what excites me most about this years teams is the togetherness that they share," head coach Jim Stone said in a release. "We had a great spring together and the group really bonded and created both an identity and a hunger. They are ready to lead and welcome our very talented freshmen in. I think the combination of our leadership, youth & talent is a great recipe and I'm excited to see how it is lived out this fall both on and off the field."
Junior Madisen Fritel was named the Beavers' preseason offensive player to watch. She appeared in all 21 matches last season, totaling seven points off three goals and an **** ist.
"Maddie lives out the values of our program as well as anyone on our roster," Stone said. "When she plays you can see how much she loves the game and her teammates. She makes an investment in every training session which pushes her teammates and has allowed her to grow and develop. She's an incredible athlete who puts a lot of pressure on defensives and allows us to play off of her."
