DE PERE - St. Norbert College got a pair of second-half goals from sophomore Abby Thompson en route to a 2-0 win over St. Olaf College in a non-conference match at Schneider Stadium.

Thompson picked up an insurance goal at 74:15 when she got a turnover in the St. Olaf end and battled through three Ole defenders to finish just inside the left post for her ninth goal of the season.

St. Olaf applied strong pressure in the final 10 minutes but couldn't get on the scoresheet.

The Oles outshot St. Norbert 14-10 and had a 3-2 edge in corner kicks. St. Norbert had nine fouls to St. Olaf's eight.

Lilly Collins made six saves in recording her second consecutive shutout. Sprangers made four stops for the Oles.
