DE PERE - St. Norbert College scored four third-period goals to pull away from UW-Eau Claire in a 6-1 non-conference win at Cornerstone Community Center.

The Green Knights (8-2), ranked No. 3 in the USCHO.com Division III Poll, fell behind when the Blugolds (3-3-1) got a marker from Logan Ganz at 9:11 of the first period. St. Norbert needed about five minutes to respond, getting the equalizer from Braden Lindstrom (pictured) at 14:01.

Despite St. Norbert opening the second period on a major power play, the game remained deadlocked until late in the frame, when a T.J. Koufis pass from the far wall through the slot found Blake Ulve backdoor for a big goal at 19:27 and a 2-1 lead.

Lindstrom gave the Green Knights some breathing room with his second goal of the game, scoring at 8:04. Curtis Hammond then potted a 4-on-4 goal at 10:06 that proved to stem any chances Eau Claire had of rallying. The Blugolds would get a major power-play chance in the last five minutes, but St. Norbert drew a penalty and then scored another 4-on-4 goal when Bryan Gilman scored at 17:45. Braydon Beahm then netted his eighth goal of the season with a 4-on-3 power play goal at 19:05.

Koufis finished with three points with three assists. Lindstrom had two goals for two points, while Jack Christen and Calvin Hanson each had two assists for two points.

St. Norbert outshot Eau Claire 38-18. Hunter Garvey made 17 saves for the Green Knights, while Max Gutjahr made 32 stops for the Blugolds.

The Green Knights were 1-for-6 on the power play, while Eau Claire was 0-for-2.
