TOPSHAM — Nick Oram scored three goals and dished out an assist, and goaltender Ed Maguire had seven saves as the Mt. Ararat High School boys lacrosse team downed defending Eastern Maine Class A champion Lewiston, 6-4, on Tuesday.

“They had the ball in our end throughout most of the first quarter, but the defense of Brett Martin, Rob Cornelison and Zack Greene did a great job,” said Mt. Ararat coach Matt Haskell, whose team improved to 2-1 and visits Cony on Saturday at 11 a.m.

Oram, assisted by Jon Brown, gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead after a quarter, and Jeremy Hart doubled the advantage off an Evan Whidden feed for a 2-0 Mt. Ararat lead at the half.

Lewiston (2-2) came out quickly in the third quarter, getting a goal each from Chris Rancourt and Matt Melanson to tie the game. But, Brown (assisted by Oram) and Oram (Hart) put the Eagles up 4-2, and fourth-quarter tallies by Oram and Josh Richards (Martin) allowed Mt. Ararat to pull away.

The visiting Tigers stormed out to an 8-1 halftime lead in picking up an Eastern Maine Class B victory at McMann Field.

“They were dominating in the first half, and we just didn’t answer the bell,” said Morse coach Jay Paulus, whose team fell to 1-1 and visits St. Dom’s on Thursday.

Alexander Paulus scored three goals to lead the Shipbuilders, with Kai Whitehead chipping in a goal.

The visiting Capers jumped out to a 5-0 lead, withstood a Falcons rally and pulled away in the second half for a victory at Freeport.

Talley Perkins and Lauren Steidl led Cape Elizabeth (2-0) with four goals and an assist each. Bella Robinson (three goals, one assist), Emily Spidle (two goals, one assist), Liz Robinson (one goal) and Janessa White (one goal) also scored for the Capers.

Alexandra Mitch and Jess Hench each scored three goals for 0-2 Freeport, which is slated to host North Yarmouth Academy on Saturday at 3:15 p.m. Jocelyn Davee chipped in a goal, while goaltender Molly Lane turned aside eight shots.
