Vikings slip by Eagles at the net
The Vikings took game one 25-17, but then dropped the next two 25-15, 25-16. They roared back for a 25-19 win in set four and then finished it with a 15-10 win.
"We played exceptionally well tonight," said Viking coach Brad Tisch. "We clicked on all cylinders. After the first game we kind of fell asleep, but at the end of game three we started playing with energy and we kept it up."
He felt Sami Holmstrom played a strong game especially attacking. Also he said Sydney Eaton played very hard and Lexi Peterson did a nice job in the middle.
