Box Score DULUTH, Minn. (csssaints.com) – The St. Scholastica women's basketball team came out victorious over the Vikings of Bethany Lutheran College Saturday night by a score of 75-64 behind a very balanced attack that saw four Saints score in double figures.

The Saints would go on a 6-0 run in the last 1:15 of the first half to go into halftime up 35-30. That was the largest lead the Saints had been able to build up until that point.

Early in the second half Bethany Lutheran came out firing starting the half on a 6-0 run of its own to take the lead at 36-65 with 17:51 to go in the game.

That would be the last time the Vikings would hold the lead as the Saints quickly answered with a 3-pointer by Kelsey Sorenson-Giffrow (Braham, Minn./Braham HS (Minn. Duluth)) to take back the lead at 38-36.

The Saints scoring took off after the Sorenson 3-pointer quickly building a double-digit lead with the highest margin being at 18 points after a Caitlin McKernon (Coon Rapids, Minn./Fridley HS) layup with 3:13 left in the game.

The Vikings did manage to dwindle the Saints lead to eight points late in the game, but it proved to be too little too late as the Saints ended up taking the victory by 11 points 75-64.
