WAUWATOSA - St. Norbert College survived a defensive battle and came out with a 7-0 win over Wisconsin Lutheran College in a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference game at Raabe Stadium.

The Green Knights (4-1, 3-0 NACC) picked up their lowest-scoring win since a 6-3 triumph over UW-Whitewater on Sept. 11, 1976 at Minahan Stadium.

St. Norbert punted on its three first-quarter possessions and held Wisconsin Lutheran on downs at the Green Knights' 21-yard line late in the period, which ended scoreless.

The Green Knights took over at their own 23 following a short punt with 11:20 left in the second quarter, and needed just seven plays to matriculate 77 yards for the game's only scoring. John Trinh's plunge from the 2 and Dan Simon's point-after put St. Norbert ahead 7-0. St. Norbert had two golden scoring chances later in the second quarter come up empty, when a 35-yard field-goal attempt hit the left upright and the Green Knights then lost a fumble at the Warriors' 15-yard line just before halftime.

The second half consisted mostly of jockeying for field position. St. Norbert got big stops in the third quarter when Alex Campbell intercepted the Warriors on their opening series at the St. Norbert 16 and Joe Jung intercepted Wisconsin Lutheran at the Green Knights' 9 late in the quarter.

St. Norbret ran 25 plays in the fourth quarter to the Warriors' 16, holding the ball for 12:39 in the last 15 minutes. St. Norbert had a chance to put the game away with 1:47 left but a 30-yard field-goal attempt was blocked. Wisconsin Lutheran then advanced to the St. Norbert 46, but Drew Jurack's interception at the St. Norbert 7 with 51 seconds left sealed the win.
