SODA SPRINGS - In the first four minutes of the third quarter, Aberdeen turned a halftime deficit into a lead it would hold for good in a 63-61 win at Soda Springs on Friday.

The Cardinals led 37-34 at halftime, but the Tigers outscored them 19-14 in the period.

"Aberdeen came out aggressive, and we came out a little flat," Soda Springs coach Greg Bergholm said. "We fell behind the start of the third quarter, and that was the difference in the game."

Wade Wahlen led Aberdeen with 16 points, while Alex Maughan paced Soda Springs with 16 of his own.
