Sophia Pompeo’s third goal of the game, off a penalty stroke with 1:24 left in overtime, lifted sixth-seeded Cheverus to a 5-4 win over No. 11 Massabesic in a Class A South preliminary round game Saturday afternoon at Deering High’s Memorial Field.
The Stags (9-6) will visit No. 3 Scarborough (11-2-1) for a quarterfinal at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Pompeo’s first goal came on a penalty stroke in the third minute. She made it 2-0 with 20:18 remaining in the first half.
The Mustangs (5-10) got on the board when Micaela Jacobs scored out of a scrum after a penalty corner, but Bella Booth answered to give the Stags a 3-1 halftime lead.
Lucia Pompeo scored four minutes into the second half to make it 4-1, but Massabesic roared back behind goals from Isabella Hurlburt and Emma Snyder, then pulled even on a Snyder goal with 7:37 left in regulation.
In overtime, after a Massabesic defender stopped Sophia Pompeo’s shot with her body, Pompeo took the penalty stroke and sent the ball past Madyson Pomerleau (16 saves).
Cheverus had a 21-13 shots advantage and a 12-11 edge in corners. Hannah Woodford of Cheverus stopped nine shots.
