BRUNSWICK — Jacob Towle, Jared Hummer and TJ Sullivan scored a goal each in the third period as the Brunswick High School boys hockey team skated off with a 5- 2 win over South Portland on Thursday at Sidney J. Watson Arena.

The Dragons won their fifth straight to improve to 8-1 and hosts Cony/Monmouth on Monday at 6:30 p.m.

Jared Parent, assisted by Sullivan, opened the scoring 4:31 into the first period, but Red Riots forward Chris Mitchell tied the contest with 1:46 left in the frame.

Jacob McGowan, off a setup from Parent and Sullivan, scored early in the second, but South Portland tied the game a second time when Kyle Halverson tallied at 5:13.
