Bulldogs spoil Beavers New Year’s celebration claiming 4-2 victory Tuesday night

Minnesota Duluth earns 4-2 victory over BSU Men’s Hockey on New Year’s Eve

The Bemidji State University Men's Hockey team fell 4-2 on New Year's Eve Tuesday night against University of Minnesota Duluth at Sanford Center.

Junior Kirklan Irey made a notable impact with his offensive contribution, scoring a power-play goal. Additionally, Austin Jouppi contributed with a goal, further adding to the team's offensive efforts. On defense, Mattias Sholl was crucial in goal, making 30 saves in his 100th career start, becoming just the second goaltender in the Beavers' DI history to reach this milestone.

In the post-game interview, Tom Serratore reflected on Bemidji State's performance against Minnesota Duluth. "The first period, we weren't very good," he said. "They came in our barn, and territorially, they won." He acknowledged improvements as the game progressed, stating, "I was proud of our guys the second and third. I thought we played good hockey and I had no issues." Serratore emphasized the importance of learning to win games in the third period, recognizing that "we still got a lot to figure out," but expressed optimism about building on their efforts in practice. Despite the loss, he found positives, noting, "As the game went on, we played more honest, we played better, we possessed it better."

Bemidji State struggled to capitalize on their opportunities in the first period against Minnesota Duluth. Their efforts included a power play that did not result in a goal. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs managed to score the only goal of the period with 4:43 remaining, when Jayson Shaugabay fournd the back of the net just after a power play ended. The period ended with Bemidji State trailing 1-0.

In the second period, Bemidji State scored twice and Minnesota Duluth scored again, leading to a 2-2 tie by the end of the period. Jouppi scored early at 17:31 with assists from A.J. Macaulay and Reilly Funk, followed by a power-play goal by Irey at 13:12, assisted by Kasper Magnussen and Isa Parekh. UMD responded with goals from Aiden Dubinsky at 14:31. Sholl made multiple saves, withstanding a barrage of shots from the Bulldogs and turned aside nine shots in the period.

Bemidji State faced a challenging third period against Minnesota Duluth, ultimately falling 4-2. The Beavers won six faceoffs but struggled offensively, with numerous missed opportunities as Noah Quinn and Tony Follmer each had multiple shots that were either saved or went wide. Despite Mattias Sholl's five saves in the period, Bemidji State couldn't overcome Minnesota Duluth, who secured the game with two goals, including the game-winner by Owen Gallatin.

The Beavers fall to 8-9-3 on the season while the Bulldogs improved to 6-10-0.

Bemidji State returns to Sanford Center Friday for an exhibition against University of Manitoba. Puck drop is slated for 7:07 p.m. at Sanford Center.

Dhel Duncan-Busby also ranked 15th in the conference in receiving yards per game, marking the only receiving trio in the NSIC to rank among the top 21 in the category.

Hein coached the wide receivers on a team that went 8-3 in 2019. The Beaver offense averaged 30.4 points per game to rank fourth in the NSIC, 232.9 passing yards per game to rank fifth, and totaled 24 touchdowns by wide receivers. Two of BSU's wide receivers ranked among the top eight in the conference in receiving yards per game, including Brendan Beaulieu with 77.8 receiving yards per game (4th) and Malik Williams with 60.8 receiving yards per game (8th). BSU was the only program in the conference to have two wide receivers rank among the top 10 in receiving yards per game. Williams was named to the All-NSIC First Team with Beaulieu named to the All-NSIC Second Team and Jacob Anderson named to the All-NSIC Honorable Mention Team.

In 2018, the Beaver offense helped the team to a 7-4 record. The offense scored 420 total points (38.2 ppg) and 133 points off of turnovers. The Beavers totaled 214 first downs (116 rushing, 84 passing, and 14 from penalties).

He became the first Beaver ever to total over 10,000 offensive yards and 100 touchdowns responsible for during his career, finishing with 110 total touchdowns. Hein totaled more than 300 offensive yards in a game 15 times, nearly twice as many as any Beaver in program history.

During the 2016 season, Hein was a nominee for the Harlon Hill Trophy, which is awarded to the nation's top Division II football player and earned a spot on the Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-Super Region Three team. He helped guide the Beavers to their first-ever postseason victory against Washburn University in the Mineral Water Bowl. Hein threw for 261 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for one touchdown, on his way to earning the Mineral Water Bowl Offensive MVP.

Hein graduated from Bemidji State in 2018 with a bachelor's degree in education.
