“This was a tight game throughout as we had to grind out a tough win on the road,” said Pelican Rapids Head Coach John Gullingsrud. “We were able to stretch the lead out a little bit in the second half as we were tougher defensively for longer stretches than in the first half. This was a good, physical game that will help us as we head into the playoffs next week.”

Logan Fahje led the Vikings with 20 points, Jayden Rutherford added 18 and McHale Korf contributed 14 points.

Lake Park Audubon received 15 points apiece from Brayden Ecker and Tyler Bjerke.

Pelican Rapids finished the regular season strong as they won eight of their last nine games to finish at 18-8 overall and 7-5 in the HOL.
