The Hornets mounted a furious second-half attempt, but were unable to crease the net as Washburn goalie Rayah Saucier preserved the shutout. Meaghan Saucier also saw some time in the net, making two saves for Washburn.
Van Buren 1, Fort Fairfield 0 —At Fort Fairfield Friday, Parise Rossignol scored the game’s only goal 13:55 into the first half to lift Van Buren by Fort Fairfield.

Southern Aroostook 5, CAHS 3 — At Dyer Brook Aug. 25, Vicki McIntyre, Kristen Long and Marissa Anthony scored for the Panthers, but it wasn’t enough as the Warriors came out on top.
“It was another one of those games we dominated on the field but a few mistakes that led to some breakaway goals cost us,” said CA coach David Collins. “Seems to be the theme to our season this year.”
