The Lady Vikings roared back behind strong serving from Shannon Ward, Katherine Capras and Julie D'Amore. Marianna May and Mia Mojica were defensive forces at the net while Keanna McCants set Sophie Breitenbach for numerous kills. The team and coaches would like to thank all their loyal fans for support all season long.
