Lucia Pompeo notched a hat trick to account for all the Stags’ scoring as the defending state champions beat the Eagles 3-2 in a girls hockey game at Watson Arena on Saturday.

Cheverus/Old Orchard Beach (3-0) trailed 1-0 after the first period, but Pompeo tied the game midway through the second and made it 2-1 Stags with less than a minute to go before the intermission. She completed her hat trick early in the third.

Ema Hawkes gave Mt. Ararat/Lisbon (1-1) the initial lead with a goal late in the first period. Hannah Hawkes cut the Eagles’ deficit to 3-2 with just under 12 minutes to play in the game. Greta Marchildon manned the Eagles’ net.
