Emerson Homa recorded a hat trick as Gorham/Bonny Eagle/Massabesic/Fryeburg/Lake Region/Westbrook (5-1) overcame an early two-goal deficit to beat the Pioneers (5-1) at Penobscot Ice Arena in Brewer.

Penobscot grabbed a 2-0 lead less than two minutes into the game on goals by Jordin Williams and Ella Davis and maintained that margin into the second period, when Gorham struck for four straight goals. Homa got the first two, then set up the go-ahead goal by Katelyn Cyr. Greta Grant made it 4-2 in the final minute of the second.

Marissa Payne and Penobscot’s Delaney Carr exchange goals in the third period before Homa finished her hat trick with an empty-net goal.

Gorham goalie Emily Beal stopped 23 shots and also was credited with an assist.
