The Caribou girls’ varsity soccer team appears to be back on track following some opening-week struggles.
The Vikings made it back-to-back victories after disposing of Foxcroft Academy Saturday in Dover-Foxcroft, 9-1.
For the second consecutive game, Bria Judd netted five goals to lead the charge. Maddie Doucette’s goal 30 seconds into the game set the tone early. Sarah Doak had a goal and three assists and Searra Herbert and Gabrielle Marquis added single goals. Hope Shea picked up two assists on the afternoon for 2-2 Caribou.
The Viking boys are now 1-3 following Saturday’s 4-1 loss to the Ponies. Colby Holdsworth had Caribou’s only goal.
Both Viking squads hosted Madawaska Tuesday and next travel to Ellsworth for Saturday contests.
The Fort Fairfield Tigers used a goal from Colin Goshorn last Tuesday to tie Wisdom, 1-1, and then on Monday, Johnny Theriault, Landon Kinney and Isaac Cyr all scored in a 3-1 triumph at Limestone. The Eagles’ goal scorer was Zeb Keith-Hardy off a Tyler Simmons assist. Fort Fairfield improved to 4-4-1 on the season.
The girls’ team at Fort Fairfield garned two more wins and is now 5-2-2 overall. Chelsey Pelkey, a transfer from Limestone-MSSM, had hat tricks in both games — a 4-0 victory over Wisdom last Tuesday and a 6-1 verdict over her former team Monday.
Emma Vannorsdall had the Eagle goal. Earlier in the week, Limestone-MSSM was swept in a doubleheader against Van Buren. The girls’ score was 6-1, with Vannorsdall again scoring her team’s lone goal. The boys dropped a 7-2 decision to the Crusaders. Dylan Nadeau and Simmons were the goal scorers for the Eagles. The Limestone-MSSM girls are now 0-5 on the season and the boys stand at 1-4.
The Washburn girls lost for the third time in their last four games, falling to Easton Monday, 4-2. Mackenzie Worcester, who scored seven goals in a 13-2 win at Hodgdon Friday, had another in the loss. Joan Overman tallied five against the Hawks and had a single goal in the home loss. The Beavers fell to 7-3 overall.
The Beaver boys improved to 7-2-1 after blanking Hodgdon, 5-0, on Friday and then beating Easton at home Monday, 3-1. Noah Caron had a hat trick in the win over the Bears, completing the season sweep. Alex Pelletier was the offensive star Friday as he scored two goals.
