Minnesota State Beats Bemidji, 5-2

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) ― Redshirt freshman Mike Louwerse scored two goals as Number 18 Minnesota State, Mankato, defeated Bemidji State 5-2 in the season-opening game for both teams.

Louwerse sat out all but four games last season with a sports hernia and was given an extra year of eligibility for medical reasons.

He scored the game's opening goal during a 5-on-3 power play at 4:16 of the first period and added an even-strength goal in the second period.

Geoff Irwin, Justin Jokinen and Trevor Bruess also scored goals for the Mavericks (1-0-0).

Minnesota State goalie Mike Zacharias made 16 saves in the win.

Bemidji State got power-play goals from Travis Winter and Brad Hunt. Goalie Matt Dalton finished with 24 saves.
