The loss drops the Vikings to 15-4 overall and stops an 11-game winning streak.
"I think the kids kind of forgot how we won those 11 games," said Patrick. "We won those 11 games by playing hard and doing basic things. They started listening to people tell us how good we are and basically forgot."
The Vikings will travel to South Bend Washington tonight for a 6:15 p.m. rescheduled game.
