With 8:46 in the second frame, Sylvia Kahoro drained a three to give Berry the lead, 21-19.

Lee turned around and drained a 3-ball to retake the lead at 27-26. Still, the Vikings headed into the locker room down by two.

Starting the second half, Elly Callihan tied up the game at 31-31 as the Vikings fought for the lead. Throughout the half, Berry trailed behind by only a few points and ended the third quarter with the Stormy Petrels up 45-42. In the fourth, the Vikings fell behind as Oglethorpe (13-11, 7-7 SAA) went on an 11-3 run at the beginning of the final quarter. The Stormy Petrels kept up on offense putting the Vikings just out of reach to make a comeback.

Throughout the first half, the score difference did not exceed four for either team.

Following Lee, Kahoro put up 11 points for the Vikings, and Callihan and Ellie Gearing had a team-high six rebounds.

The Vikings will be back at home Sunday afternoon in the SAA Championships quarterfinal round against this same Oglethorpe squad. Tip-time is yet to be announced.
