Head Coach: Jim Stone • Concordia (Minn.) College ‘98 • 12th Season • W-L: 106-88-22, 62-49-13 NSIC
Assistant Coach : Andy Janssen, Gabrielle Lister
2012 Record: 10-7-2, 8-5-2 NSIC
The Bemidji State soccer team, which was slotted sixth in the 2013 NSIC Preseason Coaches’ Poll, is coming off a 2012 campaign during which it posted a 10-7-2 overall record and a 8-5-2 mark in NSIC play to finish sixth in the final league standings. Stone and the Beavers earned a berth into the 2012 NSIC postseason, but were ousted in the first round my Upper Iowa University, 1-0.
The Beavers will be led by 2013 Preseason Player to Watch Mary O’Brien (Jr., F, Maplewood, Minn.). A Second-Team All-NSIC selection and Third-Team NSCAA/Continental Tire Women’s NCAA Division II All-Central Region pick, led the Beavers in scoring with 24 points in 2012.  She established career-high totals for goals scored (10), which included two game-winning goals, and four assists, seeing time in all 19 of the Beavers’ games.  She tied for fifth in the NSIC, netting 19 points (8g-3a) and tied for second in goals scored in league play with eight. In her first two seasons at Bemidji State, O’Brien has accumulated 31 points (13g-4a) and already ranks tenth on BSU’s career scoring list and is tied for eighth on the program’s all-time goals scoring list (13).  O’Brien’s total of 10 goals as a sophomore equals Lindsey Natwick (2002-05) for eighth on the Beavers’ single-season goal scoring list.
The Beavers officially open the 2013 campaign Sept. 6 at 4 p.m. when they host Missouri Western State University for a nonconference affair. The match marks the first in the BSU-MWSU series, begins BSU’s 18-game regular-season schedule and is slated to be the first soccer game ever played at BSU’s Chet Anderson Stadium, which is currently undergoing a surface renovation to install field turf.

Concordia University-St. Paul Golden Bears (0-0-0, 0-0-0 NSIC)
http://www.cugoldenbears.com/
Head Coach: Steve Bellis • Lancaster University ‘98 • 3rd Season • W-L: 15-19-1, 13-14-1 NSIC
Assistant Coaches: Ben Gaddis, Justine Jones, Tom Kleczewski  
2012 Record: 8-9-1, 7-7-1 NSIC
Concordia-St. Paul opens their season the road for a pair of games this weekend in Pueblo, Colorado against UC-Colorado Springs on Friday at 5:30 p.m. and CSU-Pueblo on Sunday at 11 a.m.  This will be the first ever meeting with both schools for the Golden Bears.
Concordia is coming off an 8-9-1 (7-7-1, NSIC) season in which they finished ninth in the league.
Concordia returns seniors Chloe Moore, who scored seven goals and assisted on four more, and Kay Smith as well as sophomores Rachel Gratz and Sarah Pieper to anchor the defensive side.  Moore will be counted on again to contribute offensively after being named NSIC All-Conference Honorable Mention.  Smith brings veteran leadership after finding a home as an outside defender last season while Gratz and Pieper are talented young players who bring strength, physicality and speed in the back.
Jess Bianchi finished last season with five goals and four assists in her freshman year and is a rock in the midfield for the Golden Bears.  She has a new running mate in forward Taryn MacMillan.  MacMillan spent last season playing for the University of North Dakota before transferring to Concordia this year.  She started all but one match as a freshman and tied for the team lead with three goals and eight points.  She has already formed a solid connection with Moore and Bianchi and will be looked at to provide an offensive spark for CU, alongside senior Brittany Kapala.
Goalkeepers Emma Gartner and Kayla Kuczaboski are back this year and will continue to battle for playing time.  Freshman Kate Mallory is also in the mix in goal.

Among those nine returning starters are U-Mary’s NSIC Players to Watch, senior forward Alex Bachman-Williams and sophomore defender Emily Christensen. A three-year starter, Bachman-Williams has been named all-region the past two seasons. A starter since walking onto campus last season, Christensen played a key role in the late season resurgence by the Marauders defense in 2012. U-Mary allowed just five goals during a six-game winning streak to end the regular season. In addition to their veteran experience, U-Mary has added an abundance of talent with the addition of 10 freshman and one junior college transfer.

With Diaz atop the program, the Peacocks have been solid in the preseason, both defensively and offensively. UIU improved its preseason record to 2-1 last Thursday night with a 8-0 victory over Coe College in Fayette. Led by transfer Aimee Wronski (F, 5-6, Jr. Huntley, Ill.) – who joins teammate and sister Corinne Wronski (F, 5-3, R-Jr., Huntley, Ill.) – the UIU offense has been firing on all cylinders. Aimee Wronski netted two goals against Coe and bumped her total to three scores this preseason. Kali Loescher (F, 5-7, Jr., Crystal Lake, Ill.), a 2012 All-NSIC Honorable Mention, has also performed well in the three exhibition games netting two goals and earning a team-high four assists.
On defense, the Peacocks return 2012 NSCAA All-Region Defender and 2012 All-NSIC Third Team performer Kelsey Taldone (D, 5-3, Sr. Crystal Lake, Ill.), as well as 2013 NSIC Preseason Defensive Player of the Year and 2012 All-NSIC First Team Goalkeeper Amanda Smith (GK, 5-9, Sr., Moline, Ill.). Smith has already recorded two shutouts this preseason and is primed for a big year in the NSIC. Last season, the UIU defense finished the season with a .903 save percentage – tops among all 234 NCAA Division II programs. The team also posted the most shutouts in the NSIC during the 2012 season with 14.
