#13 St. Scholastica Saints (12-5-4, 7-3-4 NCHA)

#6 St. Norbert Green Knights (12-5-4, 9-4-1)
The Green Knights continue their terror in the NCHA sitting in first place late in the season once again … This year the defending NCAA Division III National Champion Green Knights have shown that even with a team that may not be as powerful as in past years, they can still pack a punch and lead the conference in the standings and multiple offensive stat categories … Johan Ryd leads the team with 28 total points on 12 goals and 16 assists … Behind him are Kyle Stroh and Cullen Bradshaw with 23 and 22 points, respectively … David Jacobsen has gotten the majority of the starts in goal for the Green Knights on his way to a 10-2-2 record and a conference best 1.92 goals against average, which ninth-best in the country … St. Norbert is ranked ninth in the country on the penalty-kill with a .872 percentage … The Green Knights will take on UW-Superior at Wessman Arena on Friday before traveling across the bridge to Duluth Saturday.
