the Vikings with 15 points each, while Drew Olinger added 12
points.
On Saturday afternoon the Vikings were

58-56 lead, then registered a two-point victory as time ran
out.
Drew Olinger led the Vikings with 18
points, while Chris Wanless and Steve Drost each had 11
points.
Decorah is now 9-9 on the season and
4-5 in the NEIC. It will host New Hampton on Tuesday
