Schorr, who connected on four 3-pointers, buried a pair of 3's early in first quarter to set the tone for the Vikings, who jumped out to a big early lead on the way to the victory.
It was a strong bounce back victory for UC, who were coming off a tough, hard-fought 45-41 loss to No. 5 ranked Roselle Catholic on Saturday night.
