The Lady Vikings maintained their persistence and their lead in the third quarter, and the fouls became more numerous as both teams fought for the rebounds and leapt in each other’s way on passes. Sydney Harris and Alison O’Toole both did a fantastic job of defensive manuevering and the turnovers were hot and heavy in the fourth quarter. Darrington capitalized in the last 50 seconds but to no avail. The Lady Vikings, thanks to good solid defense and a well-earned lead, won 42-34.
