2 VIKINGS UPDATE }Lawrence will need to refocus after its huge win over No. 2 St. Norbert this past Saturday. Lawrence has three games this week as it faces St. Mary's on Tuesday, travels to UW-Stevens Point on Friday and then hosts UW-Eau Claire on Saturday before the Vikings break for the holidays. }Some tidbits from Saturday s win over the Green Knights. This is the highest-ranked opponent Lawrence has ever beaten, and it marks the first time the Vikings have beaten St. Norbert since the Green Knights program achieved varsity status. The Vikings had not defeated St. Norbert since a 6-2 win over the school s club team in the season. }It also marks the highest-ranked team any Lawrence team has ever defeated. The Lawrence softball team beat No. 2 Chapman 1-0 back in 1998, and the men s basketball team beat No. 2 UW-Oshkosh on Nov. 22, }The most amazing stat to come out of Saturday s victory was the unprecedented nature of the comeback. Entering Saturday s game, St. Norbert had a record of at the Cornerstone Community Center, which St. Norbert has played in since , when leading after two periods. Lawrence becomes just the second team to rally for a win on St. Norbert s home ice when trailing after two periods. }Freshman forward Blake Roubos (Niagara Falls, Ontario) certainly has shown a flair for the dramatic early in his college career. Roubos scored the gamewinner against St. Blake Roubos Norbert just a week after scoring with just nine seconds left in regulation to LAWRENCE S CAREER LEADERS Points 116 Marc Howe Nick Jennette Ryan Blick Joe Searl Mike Burkhart Matt Hughes Tom Conti Brad Scurfield Josh Peterson Jameson Raymond Goals 65 Marc Howe Nick Jennette Mike Burkhart Matt Hughes Joe Searl Brad Scurfield Tom Conti Ryan Blick Andy Rozanski Matt Melchiori Assists 65 Ryan Blick Josh Peterson Joe Searl Nick Jennette Jameson Raymond Marc Howe Mike Burkhart Tom Conti Brad Scurfield Josh DeSmit Pete Mossberg Power Play Goals 19 Nick Jennette Brad Scurfield Mike Burkhart Joe Searl Marc Howe Jameson Raymond Ryan Blick Wins 41 Evan Johnson Andrew Isaac Daniel Ljung Peter Emery 2011-present 13 Grant Henderson Saves 2519 Andrew Isaac Evan Johnson Grant Henderson Daniel Ljung Jim Bauchiero Shutouts 9 Evan Johnson Andrew Isaac Peter Emery 2011-present 2 Jim Ryan HEAD COACH MIKE SZKODZINSKI Hometown Brighton, Mich.
