Volleyball
The women lost all three games against visiting conference powerhouse St. Norbert’s College. The women were in all three games however, as they lost 30-22, 30-25, and 30-25. The Vikings still have an outside shot at making the conference tournament as they finish up their conference season against Beloit and Carroll. They will need to win both matches, but there is hope for this year’s young Vikings squad.Tennis
