Mar. 23—BEMIDJI — Bemidji State will have a new women's basketball coach to start the 2026-27 season. After 11 seasons at the helm, Chelsea (DeVille) Stoltenberg resigned from her position as the Beavers' head coach last week.
BSU told the Pioneer that the school has already started its "national search" for Stoltenberg's replacement. Stoltenberg is staying involved with Bemidji State athletics as a senior women's administrator. Hired in June 2015 as the program's 10th head coach, Stoltenberg posted a record of 85-197.
She went 56-175 against NSIC teams in 11 seasons. In the 2018-19 season, Stoltenberg took BSU to the second round of the NSIC Tournament for the first time since 2003-04, upsetting top-seeded Concordia-St. Paul by a score of 73-70 on the road.
