Balanced attack puts the Cats' out in front early 

Presque Isle took control of play early and were able to work with a sizeable lead. Three first half goals gave the Wildcats the cushion to work on rotations and tying up loose ends with playoffs approaching.

Presque Isle would go on to defeat Caribou by a score of 4-0.
