Kenadie Lee pushed the lead to 14, the largest lead of the first half after her second made three. The Vikings continued to roll on and held a 35-25 advantage heading into halftime.
Defense sparked energy for the Vikings offense as they set season highs in steals and points with 21 and 85, respectively.
Continuing to build on their lead, Berry had an outstanding 27-point third quarter that included five free throws and two three balls. Halfway through the third, the Vikings went up by twenty and before the beginning of the fourth they found themselves up 29 with a final second steal and lay-up from Elly Callihan (62-33)
The fourth quarter claimed no different as the deficit quickly hit thirty when Lee converted Karlee Armstrong's steal. Berry stayed a safe distance from the Tigers who tried to cut the lead but was unsuccessful as the Vikings took a 24-point road Victory.
