Epic Run Powers St. Norbert Past Warriors

MILWAUKEE - St. Norbert College fashioned an impressive second-half run to run away from Wisconsin Lutheran College and post an 88-60 victory in a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference game at Time of Grace Center.

The Green Knights (11-4, 8-0 NACC) held a 44-35 lead with 17:01 remaining before a quick 10-0 run over the next 1:46 boosted the lead up to 54-35. Wisconsin Lutheran hit a 3-pointer but St. Norbert then went on a 27-0 blitz to deliver a knockout blow to lead 81-38 with 6:18 to play.

St. Norbert trailed 11-9 in the early going before the Green Knights went on an 8-0 run to take a 17-11 lead on a Cole Uhlenbrauck 3-pointer with 10:47 left in the half. Wisconsin Lutheran got back to within 21-19 with 8:25 left before a 10-0 run pushed the advantage out to 31-19 with 5:53 left, keyed by treys from Uhlenbrauck and Will Stuckey. Another Uhlenbrauck triple sent St. Norbert into halftime with a 42-24 lead.

After the Green Knights got a pair of Mason Freiburger (pictured) free throws to open the second half, Wisconsin Lutheran went on an 11-0 run to trail 44-35 at the 17:01 mark. St. Norbert then scored on its next four possessions to retake control, with a conventional three-point play by Freiburger pushing it to 54-35 at 15:15. The Warriors got a 3-pointer on their next trip down the floor before St. Norbert broke things open, with 3-pointers from Connor Pytleski, Stuckey, Ryan Cox and Charlie Geske jumpstarting the decisive 27-0 run, leading 68-38 with 11:39 left. 

St. Norbert shot 50.8 percent (32-for-63) from the floor and made 14 three-point field goals while holding a commanding 45-25 rebounding advantage. Uhlenbrauck had 19 points, while Freiburger added 18 points and seven rebounds. Cox finished with 13 points. 

Wisconsin Lutheran shot 36.2 percent (21-for-58) from the floor. Isaiah Mellock led the Warriors with 13 points.
