The UMD women's soccer team was once again at home this weekend to take on the Bemidji State Beavers in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) play.
Despite the cold rainy weather, fans crowded Malosky Stadium for the Bulldogs Senior night.
The Dogs jumped out to an early lead, scoring just 1:45 into the first half. Senior co-captain Danielle Scheuer used the wet surface to her advantage as she slipped a shot through the hands of the Beaver goalkeeper, allowing junior forward Clare Dahmen to knock home the goal.
The Bulldogs were able to keep the momentum up as they controlled both the first and second halves, out-shooting their opponent 20-1 for the game, according to the UMD Web site.
The only shot the Beavers got came 75 minutes into the match, but it was handled easily by sophomore Bulldog keeper Hannah Bengtson, who solidified her 6th shutout of the season with a 1-0 Bulldog win, according to the UMD Web site.
"The game itself was a great one," said senior Stacey Prodaniuk. "All in all, we knew we wanted to win. I could not have asked for a better career at UMD. The team this year is the closest we have ever been."
She added that it is very easy to lead this team because everyone cares and plays for each other.
The Bulldogs will return to action next weekend as they hit the road to finish off the regular season with matches against Augustana College and Wayne State.
