The Beavers represented Bemidji State University, played their home games at Sanford Center and were coached by Tom Serratore, in his 22nd season.

The Beavers rounded out the first half of their season with a road sweep of Minnesota State and reappeared in the USA Today poll.

Unfortunately for Bemidji State, the lack of scoring punch caught up with them and the team stumbled in the second half of their season.

Bemidji State opened their playoff run with an abysmal performance against Northern Michigan, allowing a season-high 7 goals.

Mattias Sholl managed to stop the first two shots but the third, coming just after the 1-minute mark, found the back of the net and ended the Beavers' season.
