The Vikings made 11 first-half 3-pointers, taking control early on Saturday as they opened up a 52-31 lead at the break. Baptist Bible College would get no closer than 17 points in the second half.<\/p>\n

“I was really proud of our team today,” said VCSU head coach Ryan Montgomery<\/a>. “We didn’t play clean yesterday and we responded versus a good Baptist Bible squad. We controlled the tempo and created a lot of chaos on the defensive end. Most importantly we had 26 assists today, showing we have an unselfish and bought-in group.”<\/p>\n

The Vikings shot 43 percent overall (32-74), 43 percent on 3’s (18-42) and 75 percent at the line (18-24). VCSU was 11-for-24 on first-half 3-pointers to open up a 21-point halftime lead.<\/p>\n

Schramm made it a double-double with 12 rebounds on the day, while Thompson recorded a school-record nine steals.<\/p>\n

Eddie Oyet<\/a> scored 16 off the bench, reaching double figures for the fifth straight game. Jalen Addison<\/a> added 12 points for the Vikings. Eight different players made 3-pointers for the Vikings, including three each by Thompson, Oyet and Schramm.<\/p>\n
