Siuslaw junior post Mikaela Siegel and sophomore guard Destinie Tatum battle for possession against Douglas Tuesday night.
Viks’ defense close, but not enough
Three players score
in double-digits to
dominate Trojans

D OUGLAS : 58 S IUSLAW : 42
In the end, it was the
Trojans’ perimeter shooting
that made the difference in a
game that was arguably one of
the Lady Viks’ best defensive
efforts of the season.
Led by senior guard Andi
Ruede, the Vikings had a near-
impenetrable defense inside the
arc, with Ruede scooping up
three steals and swatting down
a blocked shot.
If not for Douglas’s ability to
sink shots from outside the arc
and beyond the Viks’ zone
defense, including seven 3-
point
baskets,
Siuslaw
would’ve been close to picking
up its second-straight league
win Tuesday night.
Down by 13 to start the sec-
ond half, the Vikings quickly
found themselves trailing by 20
by the end of the third quarter
as the Trojans went on a 10-4
run, with sophomore forward
Claire Waggoner and senior
post Taylor Dotson providing
the Viks only buckets of the
period.
In the fourth quarter, sopho-
more guard Destinie Tatum
sank a pair of free throws to
open the period, followed by a
three-pointer from junior guard
Sierra Potter — her second of
the game, including a near half-
court shot to end the first half.

Scoring from sophomore
guard Abby Watkins and junior
forward Mikaela Siegel put the
Viks back within 13 points, but
it was as close as Siuslaw
would get as the Trojans con-
tinued strong perimeter shoot-
ing to finish ahead, 58-42.
Tatum led scoring with nine
points, Potter had eight and
Ruede had two points.
Brookings-Harbor
and
Douglas lead the league at 4-0,
with the Viks in fifth at 1-3.
Friday, Feb. 6, Siuslaw hosts
Marshfield (2-2) at 6 p.m.
