Diablo Valley College Women’s basketball had an impressive win against Sacramento City College on Tuesday, Jan. 20.

The Viking defense was impressive as their full court press made it difficult for the Sac City Panthers to advance up the court.

Multiple steals helped the Vikings take control of the game. Transitions were important in the win as they moved the ball up and down the court with ease.

Before the half, the Vikings scored a steady stream of points that brought the score up to 47-22.

A steal that lead to a good finish and two points by Felicia Clarissa left her at the line to make a three-point play.

Plays like these were common throughout the night.

Power forward/center Kayla Taylor said, “We have to keep doing what we are doing and keep our eye on the prize, and that prize is state.”

The shooting for the Vikings was great as they took high-percentage shots to shoot the lead up after half.
