A reboot of the long-running Lady Beaver Golf Tournament that supported women’s athletics at Bemidji State from 1983-2010, the Howe-Welle Tournament is named in honor of two of the tournament founders: Ruth Howe, who coached women’s basketball (1964-77), softball (1969) and women’s tennis (1976-86) at BSU and is an official founder of Bemidji State women’s athletics; and Jeanette Welle, a longtime Beaver Athletics supporter.
