Daijahnae Hatcher scored 6 of her team high 11 in the first frame. The second half was back and forth seeing both teams tally nine points and the Panthers took a 22-14 lead into the break. TheVikings came out in the second half and outscored the Panthers 10-5 and eventually took the lead in the fourth. However the Panthers turned up the energy and got to the free throw line twelve times in the final frame and did just enough to walk away with the victory.

🇺🇸 Please Stand for the Pledge of Allegiance
At this time, please stand. The privilege of this day is possible because of those who have fought — and continue to fight — for the freedoms we enjoy. Please place your right hand over your heart and remove any hats or caps.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Those are all of the announcements for today. Make it a great day or not, Panthers, the choice is yours.
