DE PERE - St. Norbert College got a 47-yard touchdown pass from Peyton Lyon to Paul Bageanis with 13 seconds remaining to cap a thrilling 37-32 win over Wisconsin Lutheran College in a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference game at Schneider Stadium.

The late touchdown salvaged a win for the Green Knights, who allowed two touchdowns nine seconds apart with less than a minute remaining to see an 11-point lead melt into a one-point deficit. Wisconsin Lutheran scored on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Bryce Barbian to Trevion Green with 52 seconds left to cut the deficit to 31-26. Following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, the Warriors' onside kick attempt from midfield was successful, recovering at the St. Norbert 38. On the next play, Barbian hit Emmitt Hawkins on a 38-yard touchdown pass for a 32-31 lead with 43 seconds to go.

St. Norbert got the ball on its own 31 following the kickoff and passes from Lyon to Owen Kudick for 10 yards and to Austin Miller for 12 yards moved the Green Knights to the Wisconsin Lutheran 47. Following an incompletion, Lyon's picture-perfect strike was hauled in by Bageanis at about the 2-yard line and he then fell into the end zone with the go-ahead points.

Wisconsin Lutheran's only play from scrimmage was stopped after a lateral was not corralled and St. Norbert recovered with 4 seconds left to end the game.
