Box Score

GREEN BAY, Wis. – St. Norbert out-shot UW-Stevens Point 38-23 on Thursday evening to hand the Pointers an 8-3 defeat at Cornerstone Community Center in Northern Collegiate Hockey Association action.

Max Bobrow (Clifton Park, NY/Shenendehowa) scored his third goal of the season with 1:55 remaining in the first period to even the score at a goal apiece after the first period.

In the second, the Green Knights offense came alive, posting two more goals before Nick Kenney (Wixom, MI/Walled Lake Western) was able to score his sixth goal of the season off assists from Jerry Freismuth (Grosse Pointe, MI/North) and Chad Boeckman (St. Louis, MO/Wentzville Holt), making the score 3-2.

A pair of Green Knight goals in the 17th minute put the Pointers behind 5-2 after the second period.
