PEMBROKE -- Matthew Ward had a goal and an assist within a 1:48 span of the third period Wednesday night to break a tie and lift the Norwell High boys hockey team to a 3-2 win over Hanover in the final of the George R. Gould Memorial Tournament at Hobomock Arena.

The Clippers, who faced Nantucket in Thursday's regular-season finale, improved to 15-3-3 with their 10th straight victory.

The Indians, who had won seven in a row, will enter the MIAA Div. 3 South tournament with a 16-3-1 record.

Ward, who fed linemate Harrison Reed for the go-ahead goal at 5:51 of the third, then took Mac Maiellano's pass to make it 3-1 on a breakaway at 7:39. Hanover pulled within 3-2 on Christian Sacco's with 56.4 seconds remaining, but Norwell junior goalie Sean Ennis (27 saves) shut the door after that.

Ethan Davis had two assists for Hanover, which got a first-period goal from Nathan DelPrete. Connor Therrier converted Luke Norton's setup 6:46 into the game to give Norwell a 1-0 lead.

Ward earned tournament MVP honors for Norwell; Ethan Davis was Hanover's MVP.

BC High stepped up its game when it needed it the most.

In a crucial Catholic conference, the Eagles earned their 10th league point with an exciting 4-2 win over Xaverian Wednesday night at UMass-Boston.

We are proud to be the best competition in the state. I think it is proof year after year, but especially this year there is a lot of parity. We say a Catholic Conference team can beat a different one every night, but this really proves it, said Eagles coach John Flaherty.

Junior attacker Colin Norton led the Eagles with two goals and an assist while Xaverian senior Stefano Lanci scored a goal and an assist in the loss.

The match started quickly and both teams wanted to surpass the others. Matt Keohane opened the score for BC High at 2.30 am by hitting a loose puck past Xaverian goalkeeper Kyle Harvey from a wrap-around. Xaverian reacted four minutes later after dueling cross controls brought the penalties to 4. Ty Marchi recovered the puck from behind the Eagles net and found a Lanci streak in front of the goal, which took the chance beyond freshman goalkeeper Tom Kiesewetter.

BC High wasted no time to regain the lead in the second. Norton broke away from everyone in the confrontation and sailed a shot over goal. The Eagles retained possession and Norton found a second chance, this time a shot goes past Harvey to make it 2-1 Eagles, 21 seconds in the second period.

Norty is an experienced player. He really grew up as a junior this year, Flaherty said about Nortons great achievements, in these types of games against very good teams you need your best guys to be their best and I think you saw with Keohane, [Colman] Benson, [Aidan] Carey and Norton.

The Eagles doubled their lead 5:53 to third when Norton intercepted a Xaverian transition and tipped the puck to Aidan Carey. The senior advance went 1 on 1 with Harvey and calmly hit his shot under the Xaverian goalkeeper to make it 3-1 Eagles.

Despite the deficit with two goals, Xaverian did not stand still. With 4:28 to go and a power-play opportunity for them, Xaverian captain Matt Ryan cut the lead of the Eagles in half, received a Lanci pass on the left wing and hit a shot from Kiesewetter. After he had earned another power play with 1:45 left, Xaverian Harvey pulled over and sent the sink to the Eagles. Still, it was Norton who came to the rescue again, stealing possession on a back check and firing a shot at Xaverians empty net to achieve the 4-2 victory.

The Catholic Conference, as is the case seemingly every season, has been defined by parity.

But with the regular season winding down, the fifth-ranked BC High boys hockey team may have just positioned itself in the drivers seat with a 4-2 win over No. 6 Xaverian on Wednesday night in Dorchester.

The Eagles (9-3-2) controlled the pace throughout as they moved to 4-2-2 atop the league standings, dominating 5-on-5 play against the Hawks (8-3-4), who fell to 2-3-2 in conference action.

Colin Norton had two goals and an assist for the Eagles, including an empty-netter from mid-ice after stripping Matt Ryan on the backcheck during a 6-on-4 penalty kill to ice the game.

BC High took a 1-0 lead after Matt Keohane banked in a shot from behind the net that bounced off goalie Kyle Harvey and into the net at 2:44. Xaverian answered at 6:30 with a fluky goal of its own while playing 4-on-4. Ty Marchi chased a rebound behind goal and fed a pass in front that hit off the back of BC goalie Tom Kiesewetters leg and onto the blade of Stefano Lanci for the goal.

Norton pushed the Eagles back in front just 21 seconds into the second after digging a puck out of a crowd of skates in the slot to beat Harvey blocker side. But the Eagles couldnt put things away with Xaverian on their heels, taking a pair of penalties in the second that kept the pressure on.

Kiesewetter made six stops on the penalty kill in the second. The freshman finished with 15 saves. Harvey pushed away 21 for the Hawks.

Honestly, in a Catholic Conference game, I dont know if anyone is ever on the ropes, said BC High coach John Flaherty. They have weapons; theyve got kids that can move and kids that can shoot. For us, it was all about sticking with it and not getting too far ahead of ourselves and making sure we were taking care of pucks and moving things north.

BC High made it 3-1 at 5:53 in the third when a turnover at their defensive blue line allowed Aidan Carey to walk in for a breakaway goal. Xaverian clawed back with a power play goal from Ryan at 10:32.

BC High was then whistled for too many men with 1:45 remaining. Norton finished things before the Hawks could get a shot on net with the two-man advantage.

The Directors Guild of America Awards were held last night, and one of the most reliable predictors of Oscar success has crowned Sam Mendes with its highest achievement in feature film directing. Mendes, who won this award in 1999 for American Beauty, bested Bong Joon-ho (Parasite), Quentin Tarantino (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Martin Scorsese (The Irishman), and Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit) to take home the top prize for his work in bringing the World War I film 1917 to the screen. The one-take movie was a late-comer to the Oscar race but has been steamrolling the major precursor awards, also winning the top prize from the Producers Guild of America.

The last six DGA winners in a row have gone on to also win the Oscar for Best Director so this is good news for Mendes and 1917 as a whole, although I wouldnt give up hope on a Bong Joon-ho win just yet. The Parasite love is strong.

Elsewhere at the DGA awards, Alma Harel won the First-Time Feature Film award for her striking, intimate work in bringing Honey Boy to the screen, and American Factory filmmakers Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert won the Documentary prize.

On the TV side of things, Bill Hader won his second DGA for Best Comedy Series, scoring a trophy for the truly brilliant Barry Season 2 episode ronny/lily. Nicole Kassell took the Dramatic Series prize for her also brilliant work in bringing the pilot of Watchmen to the screen, while Johan Renck won the Movies for Television and Limited Series award for Chernobyl.
