HOW IT HAPPENED

• MSOE (9-8-2, 4-7-1 NCHA) went onto the ice tonight looking to make a statement early as they controlled things on their offensive end, firing seven shots in which four were on net and saved in the first three minutes. St. Norbert (14-5-0, 9-3-0 NCHA) controlled quickly from there as the first period was silent until just before the buzzer sounded as they scored as the clock ran out to go into the first break with an unexpected 1-0 lead over the Red & White.
• In the second period, the Raiders looked to even things with a power-play opportunity midway through. After two shot opportunities late in the power-play, the Green Knights found themselves with a breakaway opportunity to score shorthanded to lead 2-0, heading into the second break with that margin.
• Things shifted early and quickly when the third period started as just a minute in, Lyons stole it from his offensive blue-line and attacked the net from the middle and sent it to the left side of the net and in for his first career goal to cut it to one. A minute and a half later, Steve Guo found the puck in the middle of a scrum off a faceoff near the net and sent it five-hole for his first career goal as well to tie at two. The Raiders weren't done there and moved even quicker as just 23 seconds later, Casey Roepke sent one towards the net to Eddie Shepler to send one as just 2:54 into the third, the Raiders had a 3-2 lead and forced the Green Knights to make a change between the pipes. The Green Knights spent the remainder of the game trying to claw their way back, but with 4:41 remaining, the Green Bay native sealed it as he took it off the boards in a breakaway to net his second of the night.
