Vikings sink Hornets

[SuperHornet]

The Portland State Vikings took down Sac this afternoon 95-86 at the Hornets Nest. The game was one of runs, especially in the first half, when PSU had a huge lead at the halfway point until bogging down and letting Sac back in it. After that, it was neck and neck until the end.

The game was horribly officiated, but the difference wasn't so much that as free throw shooting. The Vikings made theirs, and the Hornets did not.

Rivals Yahoo! players of the game were G Claire Faucher (5-11, 12 pts, 8 rebs, 13 assts) for Portland State and G Jasmine Cannady (6-15, 16 pts, 8 rebs, 2 assts) for Sac. F Charday Hunt added 21 pts for Sac, and G/F Kelly Marchant knocked in 31 for PSU.
