Four Vikings hit double figures, with a pair of freshman having big nights. Sekani Milligan (Jr., Fort Lauderdale, FL) scored 23 points in limited minutes, as he hit first half foul trouble. Aaron Duske (So., Buffalo, MN) scored 14.

 

Freshman Jason Perkins (Shakopee, MN) scored 15 points off the bench in one of his best nights as a Viking. Another freshman, Chris Embden (Plantation, FL) scored six off the bench and made big contributions. Sylvester Walker (Sr., St. Paul, MN) scored 13 points.

 

The Vikings have now won eight straight games, and 12 of their last 13. They improve to 14-4, and will face the University of Sioux Falls in Sioux Falls, SD Saturday afternoon.
