The AHSTW Lady Vikes outscored Tri-Center 14-3 in the third quarter to climb out of a five-point halftime deficit, ultimately pushing their way to a 44-30 win.

AHSTW had the lead early in the game but Tri-Center pulled ahead late first quarter and held the edge until late in the third. Once the Lady Vikes seized back control, momentum snowballed in their direction. AHSTW Head Coach Jill Vanderhoof said the key was becoming the aggressor in the second half.

Delaney Goshorn got the offense sparked a bit in the second half with 17 of her game-high 25 points after the break. She connected on 5 threes in the game. Ellie Peterson had a big game with 10 points and a high number of deflections and blocks on the defensive end. Coach Vanderhoof said it was great to see that defensive effort pay off all over the floor.

The Lady Vikes improved to 8-13 on the season and will now prep for the postseason. They will host Missouri Valley in a 2A Region 8 game on Saturday.

Tri-Center was led by 11 points from Alexis Flaherty. The Trojans fall to 7-14 on the season. They will face Coon Rapids-Bayard in a 1A Region 2 first round game on Thursday.
