DVC was resigned to a tie with conference leading Santa Rosa in the final seconds of stoppage play.  
Santa Rosa was not.  
Vikings goal keeper Courtney Hart advanced out of the net to try and stop the charging Santa Rosa offense but was unable to come up with the ball on a diving save attempt and the Bear Cubs knocked in a goal with less than 30 seconds to go to topple the Vikings 4-3 in DVC’s last game of the season.  
Three second half goals by DVC and a one goal lead with 17:52 remaining in the game wasn’t enough and for the second game in-a-row the Vikings weren’t able to hold onto a late lead and came up disappointed.  
Tuesday’s game against Modesto ended in similar fashion, with the Vikings surrendering a one goal lead with a little over eight minutes to go in the game which led to a 3-3 tie.  
Santa Rosa grabbed a 2-0 lead with 25 minutes to go in the game after tallying two goals in five minutes.  
The lead would quickly evaporate with DVC getting on the board one minute later with Jenna Simone setting up a header from Liz Sanchez to cut the lead to 2-1.  
Less than two minutes later Sanchez scored another goal off another assist from Simone after a yellow card on Santa Rosa to tie the game 2-2.  
But the offense wasn’t done there with leading scorer Kristen Elms kicking home Simone’s third assist of the game, giving DVC the lead 3-2 with 17:52 to go.  
With her three assist game, Simone adds to her team leading assist total with 12 on the year.  
The Vikings held the lead for all of 52 seconds before Santa Rosa scored off a corner kick to even the score.  
The first half was a defensive struggle, with Hart making numerous saves, including two jumping grabs off of Santa Rosa corner kicks, to preserve a 0-0 tie going into halftime.  
Elms has scored a goal in four straight games and six of the last seven, totaling a team leading 19 goals for the season.  
With the loss the Vikings fall to 10-8-2 on the year with a 6-6-2 in conference play.  
DVC tumbles down the Northern California rankings to no. 15, with 16 teams making the playoffs, the Vikings are on the bubble of the playoff picture and will have to wait to learn their fate.
