As a team, the Vikings connected on six, three-point field goals and 43 total field goals. Jourdan Belcher had a big night as he finished with a game-high 26 points on 12 field goals. Charles Bianchino finished with a career-high 17 points, which included a team-best four, three-point field goals.

Five Vikings finished with at least 13 points in the game. Trevor Green and Owen Feagles both totaled 16 points each, a career-high for Feagles. Demani Benjamin scored eight points in the second half and finished with 13 total points on six field goals made.
