The Stags (4-0) scored once in each period and posted their fourth straight shutout, beating the Clippers (3-2) in Portland.

The contest was a rematch of last year’s state final, won by Cheverus/Windham, 3-2.

Mikayla Talbot opened the scoring at 5:55 of the first period, scoring unassisted on a rush. Lucy Johnson provided some breathing room when she scored with an assist from Talbot with 8.6 seconds remaining in the second period. Freshman Caroline Rousseau added an empty-net goal late in the third.

Cheverus goalie Ella Lemieux made 20 saves. Elle Grondin had 16 saves for the Clippers.
