The Vikings improved to 6-12 overall and 3-11 in Frontier Conference games. Mayville State is now 1-17 and 0-14 in Frontier Conference games.<\/p>\n Early in the first, the Vikings trailed 7-4 after the Comets scored two from a Laela Jensen basket. From there, the Vikings would soon tie the game at 10-10 after earning four points from Abby Aslesen<\/a> and two from Tiyana Schwinghammer<\/a>. Mayville would hit a three-pointer scored by Jensen. Responding on the offensive end, Olivia Backus<\/a> would tie the game with a three-pointer of her own.<\/p>\n One possession later, Schwinghammer would give the Vikings a lead they would not relinquish. Closing the first quarter with a 24-18 lead, the Vikings had points from five players, 13 from Schwinghammer.<\/p>\n The Vikings’ offense exploded in the second quarter, tallying 26 points while holding the Comets to just 10 points.
