The Caribou boys snapped a winless streak that goes back to the team’s season opener against Madawaska played Aug. 26. The Vikings blanked Old Town Monday at home, 2-0, with Andre Rossignol opening the scoring by heading in an Austin Findlen corner kick in the first half and Findlen scoring himself off an Alex Ezzy assist with just under nine minutes to go in regulation.
