One day removed from taking part in helping her team capture the Section 8AA girls tennis team title for a second consecutive season, Bemidji senior Savannah Haugen dominated the field to win the 8AA singles title in the section’s individual tourney at Sartell on Saturday.

Hopes of another road upset were dashed for #7 Bemidji in a 3-1 defeat at #3 Elk River in a Section 8AAA girls soccer semifinal game on Saturday afternoon in the first soccer game at Elk River High School’s new stadium.

35 first-half points that were initiated by a pick-six from linebacker Seth Newby on the first defensive drive of the game set up Bemidji football for a 41-8 hammering of St. Cloud Tech in a complete performance on Friday evening at Tiger Stadium.

Bemidji captured a second consecutive team championship in Section 8AA girls tennis with a 4-3 triumph over South subsection top seed Becker on Friday evening in Sartell, just hours after reaching the final with a 6-1 win against St. Cloud Tech in the semifinals.

Five second-half goals for #3 Rogers–spearheaded by a four-goal performance from Alex Bowman–left #6 Bemidji behind in a 7-1 rout on Thursday evening in a Section 8AAA boys soccer quarterfinal at Rogers High School.

Sydney Breyen scored the match-winner midway through the second half after setting up Addy Kelly’s first-half strike as #7 Bemidji claimed a rare victory against Brainerd by stunning the #2 Warriors 2-1 in a Section 8AAA girls soccer quarterfinal Wednesday evening.
