St. Norbert Rips Eureka In Regular-Season Finale

DE PERE - St. Norbert College dominated from start to finish in its regular-season finale, topping Eureka College 61-0 in a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference game at Schneider Stadium.

The Green Knights (7-3, 7-1 NACC) finished as the outright NACC runner-up after dropping their first three games of the season. St. Norbert will play in the Cousins Subs Lakefront Bowl at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 23, against the Midwest Conference runner-up at Wisconsin Lutheran College's Raabe Stadium in Wauwatosa.

St. Norbert scored touchdowns on its first six possessions and held Eureka to negative total offense until the game's final two minutes. The Green Knights outgained the Red Devils 403-8 and had an edge in first downs 28-2. The eight yards allowed is the fourth-lowest total in school history and the two first downs yielded is tied for the second-best single-game effort in program annals.

The Green Knights scored four first-quarter touchdowns. Will Darden scored from a yard out at the 9:39 mark, while Patrick Oden also scored from a yard out at 6:08. Peyton Lyon found Mitch Van Vooren on a 25-yard touchdown pass with 3:30 left in the period. Kyle Santos (pictured) then had a 15-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:53 remaining.

St. Norbert added three second-quarter touchdowns. Lyon hit Paul Bageanis from 10 yards away at 13:04 and again from 13 yards out at 10:15. Lyon then hit Austin Miller on a 49-yard strike with 7:51 left for a 48-0 lead the Green Knights carried into halftime.

Tyler Juergensen connected on field goals from 20 and 31 yards away in the second half, while Connor Kelly's 15-yard touchdown scamper with 2:04 left in the game closed out the scoring.

Lyon completed 11 of 16 passes for 142 yards and four touchdowns. Kelly rushed 18 times for 99 yards, while Oden had 17 carries for 73 yards. Miller caught five passes for 70 yards, while Van Vooren had two catches for 39 yards.

St. Norbert was led defensively with five tackles apiece from Brian Treacy and Luke Niksic. Sam Barnett had four tackles, while Daylan Lujan added a pair of quarterback sacks.
