“It was brutal. We made a lot of mental errors in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter which could have secured the game,” said head coach Dan Derrick. “I believe what happened was due to my inexperience in coaching and not knowing how to keep the boys focused and in control. We are very inconsistent and I need to do a better job understanding the situation and helping the boys get out of that funk.”

“The game did not go well,” said head coach Makenzie Hekking. “The team that showed up was completely different from the team that played last week.  It's unfortunate to see your team backslide but I'm hoping we can recenter ourselves.”

Cecelia Walton was in on seven of the team’s eight goals with four herself and three assists. Keely Banks scored three goals and Avery Drake added one as well.

In the loss against Bountiful April 20, the Vikings couldn’t overcome a four-goal deficit at halftime.

“I don’t think we had our best game or a game that reflects our girls’ skill level,” said head coach Lauren Pescetti. “After having such a rough, mentally-taxing game with Box Elder due to circumstances out of our control, I believe that had some carry-over effect on our game with Bountiful.”

Walton scored all three of Viewmont’s goals in the loss.

“The best part about our region is that we get to play everyone twice,” Pescetti said. “Great job to Bountiful who definitely out-played us, but I am excited to get the chance to play them again.”

Against East April 21, the Vikings won 16-6.

“I was really happy with the girls’ effort and tenacity this week,” said Pescetti. “Our newer players got a good amount of playing time this game and we even had two goals – both of whom it’s their first time ever playing lacrosse [Alexis Lee and Madeline Gaskill] – get their first goal. Others who are newer to the game got to enjoy being on the field having a hand in our win. It’s the little things like seeing their smiles and pride in their hard work that continue to grow my love for the game as a coach.”

Walton’s seven goals were tops for Viewmont while Banks (three goals, one assist), Eliza Runolfson (three goals), Drake (one goal), Lee (one goal) and Gaskill (one goal) also provided offense in the win.

The Vikings are now 2-2 in Region 5 and 6-3 this year. λ
