In a match-up against the defending NSIC champions from 2018, the St. Cloud State University soccer team (1-1-2, 0-0-1 NSIC) opened its 2019 conference schedule with a 0-0 2OT tie against Bemidji State University (1-2-1, 0-0-1 NSIC) on Friday, Sept. 20 at Husky Stadium.

On a steamy evening in Central Minnesota, SCSU and Bemidji State squared off in a defensive battle on the pitch at Husky Stadium. The Beavers managed to outshoot the Huskies by a slim 12-11 margin as SCSU goalkeeper Zoe Welsh earned her second shutout of the season with nine saves to her credit.

Offensively, SCSU was led by Claire Shea with three shots in the game, while Brooke Bares, Kristine Knief and Monica Majeski all added two shots apiece in the tie game against BSU. The tie snapped a four-game losing streak for the Huskies against the Beavers, which won the regular season NSIC title in 2018.
