DE PERE - With over a foot of freshly fallen snow on campus in the previous 24 hours, it would have been a good time for a winterfest at St. Norbert College. But it was a foulfest that the Green Knights had to survive with an 87-58 win over Concordia University Chicago in a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference game at Mulva Family Fitness & Sports Center.

A total of 55 fouls were called in the tightly whistled game, with both teams reaching the bonus in all four quarters. St. Norbert shot 46.7 percent (28-for-60) from the floor and Concordia shot 28.6 percent (16-for-56) to ultimately prove the difference. The Green Knights cashed in 25 of 32 (78.1 percent) of their free-throw attempts, while the Cougars were 22-for-32 (68.8 percent).

Concordia held an early 9-6 lead until the Green Knights answered with a 9-1 run to take a 15-10 lead on a Marnie Kahl basket with 4:41 left in the first quarter. Following a Cougars' hoop, St. Norbert went on an 8-0 run for an overall 17-3 spurt to take a 23-12 lead on a Taylor Thiry basket in the paint with 1:01 left. St. Norbert led 23-13 at the end of the period.

St. Norbert held a 33-26 lead with 6:26 left in the second quarter before closing out the quarter on a 16-7 run. Rose Hahn's 3-pointer pushed the Green Knights out front 46-32 with 2:43 left in the quarter and she followed with another hoop for a 16-point lead with 1:13 to go. St. Norbert led 49-33 at halftime.

Concordia would get to within 12 at 55-43 with 5 minutes left in the third quarter, but a 10-0 run over the next 4:22 for the Green Knights on a Chloe Gruszynski basket, four Emma Morrisey free throws, an Oakley Witteck basket and a pair of Kalina Winslow free throws put St. Norbert ahead 65-43. The Green Knights led 67-47 after three quarters.

St. Norbert never saw its lead dip below 20 points in the fourth quarter.

Hahn and Morrisey each had 15 points to lead the Green Knights, while Marnie Kahl added 13 points and Thiry 10 points.

Alisyn MacGregor led the Cougars with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
