Past wins fuel motivation By Philip Green The 2018-2019 athletic year for Minot State was a very successful one for many programs across campus, from breaking school records to even a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Arguably no team on campus had a better season than the Minot State women’s soccer program. Despite losing in the championship of the NSIC conference tournament, the Beavers were granted a tournament berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs. MSU went dancing for the fourth time since entering the Division II ranks in 2012. The Beavers season ultimately came to an end in a loss to Bemidji State. Now entering the 2019 season, Minot State women’s soccer looks for their fourth tournament berth in their last five years; however, this won’t come without the team facing some adversity. Several players from last year’s team have either graduated or transferred, including three individuals who were named to the All-NSIC tournament team. Not to mention there is a new leader at the helm of the Beavers this season with first-year head coach Chris Clements.

Not only was she named to the D2CCA All-Central Region team last year, but she also earned Second Team All- Region Honors by the United Soccer Coaches. Lewis achieved all these accolades in her sophomore year. As the 2019 season begins, NSIC coaches’ poll has named Lewis a player to watch for this year. Entering her junior year, Lewis has all the opportunity in the world to lead this team to another outstanding season.
