The Vikings narrowly beat the Santa Clara Bruins, 1-0, and will play the Los Altos Eagles for the league champion title on Wednesday. According to Viking senior center back Jonas Pao, the Vikings fought hard for this victory, despite the Vikings loss at the previous encounter. “I think the mentality was right,” Pao said. “I know theres a lot of distraction with the fans, but really the defense really kept inside of their own minds. They really made sure that nothing got them to guide them away. Theyre focused, and then we just did the job.”
