The Vikes were forced to play most of the final quarter with five guards. The Goderich girls made a great effort but fell short 62-52 as the Huskies came on with 18 fourth quarter points. Even so the outcome was in doubt until the last minute of play. Mary Katherine Stapleton led her team with 22 points and Jenn Peters added 11.
