Scofield deuce boosts Beavers
Vernon Viper grad Tyler Scofield scored once and set up another as the host Bemidji State Beavers clipped the Robert Morris Colonials 3-2 Saturday in the Central Hockey Association championship game.
Cody Bostock, a former Viper defenceman, also plays for the Beavers, who are based in Minnesota.
The 5-foot-8, 150-pound Scofield surpassed the 100-point career mark with the Beavers, becoming the sixth player in Bemidji State history to do so.
“He’s one of the most exciting players to ever put on a BSU jersey,” Bemidji State head coach Tom Serratore told the Bemidji Pioneer. “He is so competitive and so much fun to watch. I really believe if he was 5-foot-11 and weighed 180 pounds he’d make it in the National Hockey League.”
Scofield had one assist Friday night as the Beavers clipped the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers 4-1 in the CHA semifinal. Viper grad Andrew Coburn scored for the Chargers.
The Beavers are hoping to be selected to earn a spot in the NCAA Division 1 round of 16 playoffs.
