Vikings Fall to Quakers

Box Score Sydney Blankenship scored a game-high 16 points as Berry's women's basketball team dropped a 61-51 decision to Guillford Tuesday afternoon in Greensboro, N.C.

A 6-0 run in the first quarter gave the Vikings (2-5) an early 11-9 lead, but Guillford would score the final seven points of the quarter to hold a 16-11 lead after 10 minutes. From then on, the Quakers led for the rest of the contest. Berry would out-score the home side 19-13 in the fourth quarter, but the hole was too deep for BC to climb out of Tuesday.

For the game, the Vikings were 17-of-50 from the field, but continued their strong shooting at the charity stripe, going 11-of-15. Berry also out-rebounded the hosts, 37-33, with Ellie Gearing's eight.

The Vikings will return to action Nov. 29 when they come home to play Brevard at The Cage Center. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m.
