Vikings Fall To Indians, 21-14 in Regular Season Finale

The Valparaiso Vikings closed out their regular season with a hard-fought 21-14 loss to the Lake Central Indians on Friday night, October 17th. Despite a gritty effort on both sides of the ball, Valpo couldn't contain Lake Central’s strong rushing attack and a game-changing 4th-quarter strike.

The Indians took their first lead of the night in dramatic fashion when quarterback Cameron Reddick connected with Frank Verda on a 75-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter. The explosive play swung the momentum in Lake Central’s favor, and they never looked back.

Valparaiso, now 2-7 on the season, battled throughout but came up short against the now 3-6 Lake Central squad. The Vikings will look to regroup as they prepare for postseason play.
