St. Norbert picked up two more insurance goals when Rachael Goodrow scored her first goal of the season at 10:23 and Myranda Hayes converted a power-play chance at 14:24 for her third goal of the year.

Roethlisberger had two assists to finish with a three-point game, while Kylie Gazzolo had two assists.

St. Norbert outshot St. Benedict 45-15. Leigh Grall made 15 saves for the Green Knights to register her second consecutive shutout and her third of the season. Angel Hillstrom made 41 saves for the Blazers.

St. Norbert was 2-for-5 on the power play while St. Benedict was 0-for-2.
