The Vikings walked away with a 82-76 victory over the Gauchos. The score was all tied up 40-40 at the break, but Portland State was the better team in the second half.
Meanwhile, Linfield had to hit the road for their first game and unfortunately the road hit them back. They were completely outmatched by the Beavers on the road and fell 82-46. Linfield found out winning isn’t easy when your shooting is a whole 18.2% worse than the opposition.
