DE PERE - For the second time in the last five games, St. Norbert College rallied from a three-goal deficit to claim a win, this time a 5-3 victory over Trine University in a Northern Collegiate Hockey Association game at Cornerstone Community Center.

St. Norbert (17-3, 13-0 NCHA), ranked No. 5 in the USCHO.com Division III Poll, also tied a school record for consecutive wins with 16. The skein matches two previous streaks set in 2008 and 2014.

The Green Knights, who trailed Lake Forest College 6-3 in the third period of a 7-6 overtime win on Jan. 14, found themselves on the short end of a 3-0 deficit after one period. Brett Tierney scored just 62 seconds into the game for Trine, and Matt Bielinski followed at 7:13. Drew Welsch then scored at 17:47 for the three-goal lead for the Thunder. St. Norbert outshot Trine 15-5 in the period.

St. Norbert got back into the game early in the second period when Peyton Frantti took advantage of a Trine defensive zone turnover and scored at 1:35. Peter Bates then took a puck off the near wall and beat Trine goaltender Shane Brancato at 6:34 to bring St. Norbert to within 3-2, where the score would stand at second intermission.

Frantti scored again, going bar down off another defensive-zone turnover, to bring St. Norbert even at 3-3. The Green Knights registered their lone power-play goal of the game when Bates scored off the faceoff to open the power play at 11:24. Liam Fraser's wraparound chance gave St. Norbert an insurance goal with 1:17 remaining.
