BOXSCORE MINNEAPOLIS -- Tim Serratore (JR, Colorado Springs, Colo./Pine Creek HS) and Loren Egan (SR, Brooklyn Park, Minn./Totino-Grace HS) scored goals for Augsburg College, but top-ranked St. Norbert College rallied for a 3-2 overtime victory in a nonconference men's hockey game on Friday evening at Ed Saugestad Rink.

Tyler Zepeda (FY, Woodbury, Minn.) scored the game-winning goal 1:31 into overtime for St. Norbert (4-0-0 overall), the top-ranked team in the U.S. College Hockey Online Division III national poll and winners of the last two NCAA Division III national titles.

Augsburg (1-2-0 overall) held pace with the Green Knights and took the lead twice in the game, before St. Norbert rallied for the win.
