Senior pivot Mady Weber had a monster game with 29 points, including seven three-point field goals, and Kate Cleypool and Flannery Johnston scored six points each.
For the boys, Tristen Perry led all scorers with 18 points. Noah Corneille had a hot shooting night from beyond the arc and finished with 14, while Trent Baugh pitched in 10.
Both Vikings squads will be back on the court Friday night at Wyoming Godwin Heights.
