After opening with four consecutive losses, the Caribou girls tasted victory for the first time Friday.
The Vikings won the road game, beating Old Town, 58-26. A 38-13 scoring run over the second and third quarters was the key.
“[Old Town] is a scrappy group, but we played very well and it was nice to see us play to our potential for all four quarters,” said Caribou coach Ryan Deprey.
Maddie Doucette scored a game-high 19 points, including three 3-pointers. Gabby Marquis put together a solid game with 17 points and freshman Kimberlee Susi contributed 10.
