The offensive power of Tristian Lynch and Elijah Meerstein was simply too much for the Gibraltar defense as NEW Lutheran took the game 79-41.

The Vikings and the Blazers went back and forth in the first few minutes of the game, only to see the home team put the clamps down defensively. A 10-point lead quickly turned into a 20-point lead as Lynch poured in 17 of his game-high 25 points in the first half and Meerstein added 12 of his 23 points in the frame as well. The Vikings got plenty of good looks in the game, but the success they enjoyed shooting the ball in the Blazers' gym in years past evaded them Friday night. Carl Burgess was the only Vikings player to reach double figures with 10 points. Jake Schar, who was matched up against Lynch for most of the night, registered eight points while Braden Sitte and Nathan Merkel each pitched in six points in the loss.  Zachary Wendland scored eight points on the night for the Blazers, including a two-handed dunk to end Friday's proceedings with a bang. 

The Vikings look to regroup ahead of their next matchup against Oconto at home on December 15th.
