Niederbaumer and Skylar Thielbar scored goals to lead the junior varsity to a 2-0 victory. The JV squad is now 2-1-1.

In the second game, the Vikings held a 2-0 lead at half, but the Custer Wildcats were able to score three unanswered goals to open the second half. The Vikings scored in the 78th minute to secure a 3-3 tie Saturday in Custer.
