The Berry women's basketball team shook off a sluggish start to roll past visiting Agnes Scott 84-19 in a non-conference game Friday afternoon at the Cage Center.

                The win improves the Vikings to 7-5 overall heading into the new year, which begins Friday, Jan. 7 when Berry faces Rhodes in Memphis, Tenn., and Sunday, Jan. 9 against Hendrix in Conway, Ark., in a pair of Southern Athletic Association tests.
 
                On Saturday, the Vikings and the Scotties (0-11) closed out a low-scoring first quarter in a 10-10 tie, but Berry wasted little time establishing control of the game by outscoring Agnes Scott 20-6 in the second period, then held the visitors to just three points the entire second half to secure the romp.
               
                The Vikings placed four players in double figures as Sydney Blankenship led Berry with 14 points, Faith Humphrey had 12, Ellie Gearing finished with 11 and Kenadie Lee added 10.
