Coon Rapids, Minn. – The Lady Vikings dominated both sides of the ball against North Central Tuesday night. A balanced attack and good passing was key in their win.

Paige Taylor (Coon Rapids, Minn./DCTC) led off the scoring in her hometown with a beautiful strike from the left side assisted by Joelle Pipal (Mankato Minn./Mankato West).
 
Pipal scored a goal off of an equally beautiful assist by the Vikes Keeper Mowery. Freshman Ariel Christensen (Albert Lea, Minn./Albert Lea) showed what she brings to the team with a goal on a breakaway before time expired in the second half.  An assist was credited to Hanna Spaulding (Savage, Minn./St. Croix Lutheran) for feeding the ball to make the goal possible.
