Senior Malanya Carpentier followed up with a three-point shot giving the Lady Eagles a brief 5-2 scoring run making the score 12-5. Seven points was as close as the Lady Eagles would get to the Lady Vikings the rest of the evening.

Two Eagle River couldn’t get any closer than 14-11 in the second quarter and a three-point jumper at the buzzer by Tyson Petticrew gave Charlo a 30-19 lead at the half.
