Hannah Betts, Kaeli O'Neil-Dearing, Aliyah Browning and Kara Hignutt all contributed to the point total for the Vikings. The Vikings struggled to break a tenacious half-court press by the Indians, but the Mariner team never threw in the towel, making several strong defensive plays. Hannah Betts, Jada Flowers and Lakendra Harpe played especially tough on the defensive side for the Vikings.
