On the second day of the Inlinehockey Regionalliga Süd the Vikings got their second win but also suffered their first defeat in this season.
The Vikings won their first game against the Crusaders 8-2 (5-1). As in the previous game the opponent scored first, but the Vikings replied quickly with two goals. Both teams had scoring chances then and the Vikings were lucky that the potential equalizer goal by Kronberg was called off due to interference. After that, the Vikings took control of the game and build a commanding 5-1 lead before halftime. In he second half the Vikings kept control, adding three more goals before the Crusaders got their second of the game during a powerplay in the final minutes of play. Steven Zimmerman and Patrick Zell led the Vikings in scoring with four points each, Hans Schmidt had two goals and one assist.
In the second game the Vikings were up against the Herborn Crocodiles which had beaten the Mainprimaten 11-6 earlier that day. This time Steve May jr. put the Vikings in front with an early goal, but after that the Vikings were not able to capitalize on their many scoring chances. The goal posts and good goaltending by Herborn’s goalie prevented a higher lead. Herborn did a better job and buried two shots late in the first half for a 2-1 lead. They would again make good use of their chances in the second period while the Vikings continued to struggle scoring so that the Crocodiles built a 4-1 lead. Both goaltenders showed great saves throughout the game to keep it a close matchup. Sebastian Burstedde made it 4-2 with a shorthanded goal but the Crocodiles added an insurance goal for the final score of 5-2.
