The Caribou girls defeated Presque Isle 1-0 in a championship game decided by penalty kicks. The Vikings outscored the Wildcats in the penalty kicks stage, 4-3. This was a similar outcome to when the two teams met in the Eastern Maine Class B semifinals last October, with Caribou also winning on PKs.
Caribou went 3-1-2 in the round-robin portion of the tourney, while PI was 4-0-2. Caribou just edged out Fort Kent (2-0-4) in total points, 11-10, to make it into the finals.
The Wildcat boys downed Caribou in the title game, 4-0. The Vikings went 3-1-2 in the round-robin stage to reach the final.
Madawaska, Houlton, Ashland and Van Buren were the other schools participating.
