Hermon 1, Caribou 0 — The marquis game of the weekend was in Caribou as Hermon, which is No. 1 in Class B girls, took on the Vikings, which holds onto the No. 2 spot in the Heal Point standings.
This was a defensive struggle all afternoon. Hermon managed the only goal of the game in the first half to win 1-0.
