The Vikings trailed 26-23 at halftime and also received 10 points from Eli Sytsmaand 8 from Hayden Christenson. Isaac Falk-Stoskopf led the Warriors with 15 points, and Cole Spenst and Jeremy Cole were also in double figures with 12 and 10 points, respectively. 

"We fell behind early in tonight's game and really struggled most of the first half to get anything going on the offensive end," head coach John Gullingsrud stated. "Our guys came out with more defensive intensity in the second half which helped us get better looks at the basket offensively as we were able to force some turnovers and get out in transition." 

The win moves Pelican Rapids to 2-4 on the year and Warroad drops to 3-5. The Vikings will face West Central Area for the tournament championship Saturday night at 7:45.
