Norse come from behind to beat EKU in a Shoot Out!
The Northern Kentucky University handed Eastern Kentucky University their second loss of the semester in front of a big crowd at Northern Kentucky Ice Center Friday night.
The Colonels opened the scoring with a goal just under 4 minutes in, but the Norse were able to respond, scoring near the half way point of the 1st period. Senior Andrew Gustafson tied the game with a hard wrist shot over the EKU goaltender. However EKU was able to pull ahead late in 1st with another goal.
The Norse were able to tie the game with just over 3 minutes remaining in the 2nd period on a goal by Senior Jeremy Emig. But again the Colonels were able to answer, scoring 2 goals in the final minute of the period.
Lucky for the Norse, Gustafson wasn't finished scoring. He scored two 3rd period goals, giving him a hat trick, within a minute and four seconds of each other to draw the Norse even with EKU.
In the overtime period, neither team was able to record a game winning tally and the contest went to a best of three shoot out. Eastern Kentucky's first shooter wasn't able to get a shot off. The first shooter for the Norse, Gustafson, was denied by the EKU goaltender. EKU's second shooter was able to score over Sophomore Martin Paul's blocker, giving them a 1-0 advantage. Emig, the second shooter for the Norse, skated in and used a change of speed, faked a forehand shot and buried a backhander to pull even with the Colonels, 1-1. Eastern's third shooter was turned away by Paul and that set up the chance for win for team captain and senior, Nick Williams. Williams slipped the puck between the legs of the Colonels goalie and was mobbed by the rest of the Norse at center ice.
Last night's game was the final home game for seniors Nick Williams, Andrew Gustafson, Adam Engels, Jeremy Emig, Sam Queen and Tim Horn. All of these young men will be graduating this spring and will be missed by the Norse Hockey Club and fans alike.
Friday's Three Stars
3rd Star - Nick Williams (1 shoot out goal)

Norse swept in weekend series against SIUE; Kreimer and Schultz play last game for Norse
East Alton, Illinois - The Norse wrapped up a disappointing fall semester, traveling to play the Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville Cougars.
Justin Kreimer's first season with the Norse was 2007 - 2008, when the team went to the ACHA North Regional Tournament. Initially, Justin played forward and saw limited action. During the 2008 - 2009, Justin moved to defense and developed his game as an offensive threat from the blue line. Justin was a leader for the Norse, always ready and able to provide a big hit or a heavy shot from the point.
Friday night, the Norse were able to keep the score close for two periods - only trailing 3-1 at the start of the 3rd, but the Cougars were able to pull away late and won 9-2. Norse goals were scored by senior captain, Nick Williams and senior assistant captain, Adam Engels.
On Saturday, the Norse continued to struggle, going down 5-0 in the first period. The final score was 11-0.
Saturday marked the final game for seniors Justin Kreimer and Wade Schultz.

Despite being one of the smaller players on the team, Wade was one of the toughest. Aside from being one of the toughest players on the ice, Wade was also one of the fastest.
Congratulations to seniors Wade Schultz and Justin Kreimer.
