Abby Hennen goes up for the shot.

Stout defense leads Vikings

Minneota’s suffocating defense limited Canby to only 14 first-half points and Vikings went on to a 66-38 Conference rout on Tuesday night. Morgan Hennen connected on 9 of 14 shots, including both Minneota three-pointers, en route to a game-high 21 points for the Vikings (24-1), who notched their 11th win in a row. Abby Hennen delivered 17 points and made three steals and Natalee Rolbiecki added 10 points and two steals.

Abby Rost collected seven points and nine rebounds. McKenna led with four assists. Despite shooting only 48 percent from the foul line (10 of 21), the Vikings made up for it by forcing Canby into 25 turnovers. Minneota shot 43 percent from the field. Minneota bolted to a 10-0 lead on its home court with six of the points coming off turnovers. Hannah Jelen paced Canby with 11 points. Minneota concludes the regular season Thursday at home against Tracy-Milroy-Balaton for Parents’ Night.
