St. Norbert wins NCAA hockey title
St. Norbert College capped an improbable season Sunday by winning its first NCAA Division III men's hockey championship.
Scott Pulak and Marc Belanger scored second-period goals and Kyle Jones thwarted five power-play chances and stopped all 32 shots he faced to lead the Green Knights to a 2-0 victory over Plattsburgh State in Lake Placid, N.Y.
St. Norbert (27-1-4), making its third appearance in the title game, finished the season with a 29-game unbeaten streak (25-0-4).
Jones recorded his 10th shutout of the season and his 25th overall, both NCAA Division III records.
Plattsburgh state finished 25-5-0.

This is so cool. They came up short in 2 previous tries. Absolutely awesome!
Their coach has been courted in the past by other programs. He might get a little more attention after this.
