Final: Hingham 4, Springfield Cathedral 2

Power-plays were the Panthers' undoing, as Hingham converted 3 of 6 over the course of the game to take a 4-2 Super-8 first-round win. Andrew Pompeo opened up scoring in the third with his second power-play goal on an assist from Conor Coveney. Cathedral quickly answered with a goal of their own from Austin Orszulak, assisted by Frank Crinella and Kemo Williams. Hingham's Eric Sherman put the game away with a late goal, assisted by Pompeo.

Next up, first-seed Catholic Memorial faces eighth-seed Winchester. For those twitter users out there, Globe Correspondent Peter Martin is providing live updates via the @GlobeSchool's feed throughout the day.

End of 2nd period: Hingham 2, Springfield Cathedral 1

Cathedral's Matt Peloquin cut the the Panthers' deficit in half with an early goal, assisted by Austin Orszulak and Shawn Pighetti. A Hingham penalty gave the Panthers a chance at a tie, but the Harbormen killed it with efficiency. With under 10 seconds left, a Harbormen fast break threatened a third score, but Cathedral keeper P.J. D'Amario stifled the shot at the buzzer. D'Amario has 10 saves, Hingham's Derek Mcinnis has 17.
