The girls soccer (10–3) team took down the Walter Johnson Wildcats (11–4) 3–0 in the second round of the playoffs Friday afternoon.

Nine minutes into the half, DeMartino crossed the ball to forward Isabella Bravo, shooting the ball into the corner of the goal, making the score 2–0 in favor of the Vikes. With seven minutes remaining, midfielder Meagan Olsen put the game away, curling a shot under the crossbar, propelling the team to a 3–0 win.
