The Vikes made their way back in the second quarter and tied the score at 21, but in the third quarter their offense stalled and the Bulldogs took advantage, widening the gap to 33–27.

In the fourth quarter the Bulldogs continued to pull away, and the vikes couldn’t keep up. Guard Elyse Lowet led the way for the Vikes, scoring 20 of the teams 35 points.
