BEMIDJI STATE REPEATS AS CONFERENCE CHAMPS

 

Don Niskanen, head Men's Golf coach at Bemidji State, guided the Beavers to their second consecutive conference title in Men's Golf. Niskanen was named the NSIC Coach of the Year for his efforts. BSU has now taken thirteen Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Championships since the inception of Men's Golf in 1955.

Tom Jenkins, sophomore from Bemidji, Minnesota, captured the NSIC Golfer of the Year honors at the Bemidji Town & Country Club. He shot a two over par 146 in the 36-hole two-day event. The total yardage at the Bemidji Town & Country Club is 6,500 with a par of 72 over the 18-hole course.
