St. Norbert vs. UW-Eau Claire
rolled to a 5-2 victory at the Cornerstone Community Center.

The Knights went 1-3-1 against the defending NCAA champion Blugolds last season.
After a scoreless first period, the Green Knights scored 4-goals in the second to take a 4-1 lead and never look back.
It was an early season matchup, but it’s one the Green Knights will draw from as they measure where they are in the early going. The loss was the first of the season for the Blugolds.
