How the Lady Vikings are Taking Deja Vu to the Next Level: A Look at Their Winning Streak
The French word “already-seen” is described as the fleeting sensation of having experienced similar situations in the past. This eerie sensation can cause anxiety, but it’s also quite common.
Jada Lewis is in a blaze lately from three-point range. In the four games she has played for her team’s last six matches, the Vikings legend has hit at least one three-pointer.
Bethany Vs. Martin Luther
The Vikings are a team of young players this year, having nine freshmen out of the 14 players who are on the roster. Savannah Dhaliwal is the lone senior.
Jada is the leading player in this conference for three-pointers made per game with an average of 2.42. In the three of her most recent games, she’s scored five or more triples.
The Vikings lost 2-0 at halftime in their first encounter with the Wildcats in the season, but they rallied to take the win by 2-0. Asia Jota was a part of Azkue when he scored the first goal of the match during the second half and also performed a vital save in the dying minutes. The Vikings are now at 6-2 for the campaign.
Olaitz Azkue Scores Game-Winner
The Vikings did not score at halftime but Olaitz Azkue was able to make the difference in within five minutes of the second period. Asia Jota passed a perfectly-placed ball to Azkue who struck to give Vikings victory and to win the match 2-0.
Brooke Wolanin, Bethany’s goalkeeper was the one who shut out eight times during a single season. This is the school record. Her 109 saves are the second-most in the history of Bethany’s program.
The Vikings will face Northwestern Wednesday to begin with the UMAC Tournament. The team is looking for a chance to reach the semifinals as the only time in school history.
Asia Jota Scores Second Goal
Jota was joined by Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez on the scoresheet for Liverpool after they beat Leeds to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League. An avalanche of second-half goals gave the Reds total control, as they cruised past the Elland Road side.
Mane believed he’d added another goal but was ruled offside by VAR. The penalty of Trent Alexander-Arnold bounced off across the crossbar, depriving Senegal’s international teammate a second goal.
The defender created the second goal after his low ball was headed in by Maddie Perry. Minnesota Morris tried to press at the last minute but Cienik saved a number of shots. Jota was able to score the winning goal at the end of injury time in close proximity following an excellent build-up Kyogo and Callum McGregor.
Bethany Wins by two to one
Olaitz Azue scored in less than five minutes following an intermission to secure the game for Bethany. It is the second time in this year that Bethany Vikings are entering the final quarter without scoring. Bethany’s victory improves their overall record to 7-4-1 while also increasing its UMAC standings to the current 6-2.
The Lady Vikings’ defense, at a time when they’ve had a difficult time regularly score goals has proved to be an effective asset. In just four of nine games played they allowed their adversaries to score over 30 percent in the three-point zone. The team also leads the Big Sky Conference with an incredible free throw percentage.
Alaya Fitzgerald, nicknamed Lay, has been one of the main reasons behind the Vikings’ resurgence in the first week of the current season. In the nine games they played at the start of the season the freshman wing averaged 13.0 points, and she also averaged 4.6 rebound along with 1.9 steals.
