Just what the doctor ordered. Well, okay, maybe it was the coach who ordered it.

The Symmes Valley Lady Vikings got a much-needed win Saturday as they downed the Rock Hill Redwomen 59-40 in a non-league game.

“That was a much-need win for my team. We had to shake off our shooting slump and we did today,” said Lady Vikings’ coach Lisa Bryant.

“Both (Jessie) Morris and (Erica) Corn shot well today as well as the rest of the team.”

Morris scored seven of her 19 points in the first quarter as the Lady Vikings went up 13-8. Brooke Skinner had five points in the second quarter as the lead grew to 24-17 at the half.

Symmes Valley (5-7) used a strong defense in the second half to force 12 turnovers and open the game up in the third quarter by outscoring Rock Hill 19-5.

Morris had six points and Nikki Nance had five points including a 3-pointer for the Lady Vikings.

“We had better intensity on the defensive end in the second half,” said Bryant.

Beside Morris with 19 points, five assists and seven steals, Haily Pelletier had 13 rebounds and six steals. Corn had 12 points and two assists.

Chelsea Harper led Rock Hill with 17 points including three trifectas.
