“We’ve been practicing hard this week and the quick goals at the start of the game boosted our confidence,” defender Maddy Russell said.

Midfielder Eden Gray won multiple draws to help break down the Baron’s defense. The squad used fast breaks to set up multiple goals, midfielder Ellen Middleton said.

The Vikes continued to dominate in the second half behind the play of attacker Clare Cunniff, who scored four goals in the contest. The squad communicated well throughout the game and set up goals for each other.
