The Viking Men's Basketball Team passed their first road test of the season defeating Briar Cliff University 79-73 Tuesday night in Sioux City, IA. The Vikings jumped out to an early lead and led the entire contest.

Grand View used solid defense through the game forcing Briar Cliff into 17 turnovers for the game, and held the usually hot shooting team to 25% from beyond the three point line. The Viking lead climbed to as much as 15 with just under five minutes to go in the game, but poor free throw shooting allowed Briar Cliff to close the final score to just six points as the Vikings withstood one final push by the Chargers.

The Grand View men's basketball team improved its record to 4-1 on the season with a 70-30 rout of cross-town opponent Faith Baptist tonight in Des Moines.

After a slow start by both teams, Grand View took off and lead by as many as 20 points in the first half. Rohan Greaves nailed 4 three-pointers to lead the Viking's offensive attack. Grand View held a 35-16 half time advantage.

All of Grand View's players in uniform saw action in the second half as the Vikings continued to build a steady lead. Damir Dzafic scored all of his 8 points in the second half.
