Wakefield's girls' hockey team bolted out of the locker room in the third period and overcame a two-goal deficit to beat host Watertown-Melrose 7-6 on Wednesday night at Ryan Skating Arena.

The first period ended with the teams tied at 2, as senior Merdith MacLeod and freshman Kayla Mattucci scored for the Raiders and junior Emily Wood and junior Lauren Sullivan scored for the Warriors.

Freshman Emily LoPrete scored two straight unassisted goals within 30 seconds, and senior Erika Kelly gave the Raiders a two goal cushion.

Watertown-Melrose's lead would not last, however. Wakefield's Wood scored less than a minute into the third. The Warriors got two straight power-play goals, one by Moscato and one by Wood to completed her hat trick.

The Warriors also made a goalie change in the third period, taking out freshman Miriam Wood and bringing in junior Katelyn Guarino.

Wakefield's Sullivan scored with 3:25 left in the third period to give the Warriors a 7-5 lead, and Watertown's Kelly scored a consolation goal with 1.6 seconds left in the game.
