#7 Mavericks Shutout Beavers to Claim NSIC Regular Season Championship

BEMIDJI, Minn. --- #7 Minnesota State claimed its seventh NSIC regular season championship Friday evening as the Mavericks shutout Bemidji State 3-0 on the road.

With the win, MSU improves to 11-1-5 on the season, including a 10-0-3 NSIC record. With the loss, BSU drops to 8-5-3, including a 6-3-3 conference record. The Mavericks have not allowed a goal in their last six matches.

"It was a dominant performance tonight and one of our best played 90 minutes matches of the year," head coach Brian Bahl said. "To play so well in a challenging environment and secure the conference championship is a credit to how focused this group has been and how hard they have worked this year."

The Mavericks got on the board early as junior Addison Clarey notched her fourth goal of the season at the 22:42 mark of the first half to put the Mavericks up 1-0. MSU's 1-0 lead would hold through the first half as the Mavericks outshot the Beavers 4-1 in the opening stanza.

The second half saw the Mavericks add a pair of goals late to lock down the 3-0 shutout. Graduate student Abigail Reiff scored her second goal of the season at 71:52 of the second half, before junior Courtney Kovacs notched he first goal of the season less than nine minutes later.

In total, the Mavericks outshot the Beavers 9-5, including a 7-2 advantage in shots on goal. MSU also recorded seven corner kicks to BSU's 3.

Senior Clare Longueville (10-0-4) earned her eighth shutout of the season as she stopped both shots she faced.

"So many sacrifices have been made by our entire roster to be in this position," Bahl said. "I'm incredibly grateful and blessed to have the opportunity to coach such and amazing group of young women. This one is so special. I'm so proud of our team and so happy for our Maverick soccer family!

Minnesota State concludes its regular season schedule on Sunday as it travels to Minnesota Crookston. The match is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. As the #1 seed in the NSIC, MSU will host a first-round match in the NSIC Tournament on Monday, Nov. 11.
