In the nightcap, the Viks beat Newport in five. Hannah Bartlett produced 25 assists.
Kill leader for the night: Elyssa Rose with 25 total, along with ten stuff-blocks. Makenzie York was almost as deadly. She had 18 kills and seven stuff-blocks.
The Vikings open the Far West League season Tuesday on the road against the South Umpqua Lancers.
