B.J. Gottschlich continued his hot scoring weekend, and Chris Brown scored the game-winner as UW-Platteville beat St. Norbert 2-1 Sunday in the Pioneers' home opener.
Gottschlich, who had both of the Pioneers' goals in Saturday's 2-1 win over Carthage, started the scoring with a 15-yard shot after a long pass from Mitch Cornelius.
The Green Knights' Eric Natwick tied the score in the 35h minute, and the score remained knotted at halftime.
Four minutes into the second period, Brown rebounded Ryan McElmeel's shot and drilled the ball into the net for what proved to be the game-winner.
The Pioneers improved to 3-1-1, and the Green Knights fell to 1-2 in the back-and-forth contest. UWP out-shot the visitors 16-10, while keeper Jared Kuehl making four saves and setting the Pioneer offense up with several strong kicks.
Prior to the contest, the Pioneers held a moment of silence for former Coach Fred Eberlein, who passed away in the summer. His wife Shirley brought along Coach E.'s famed orange and blue director's chair, which sat next empty next to the Pioneer bench.
