Making its first appearance in the state tournament in five years, the Latin Academy girls’ hockey team could not have made a more dramatic entrance than the one it made Monday at Murphy Memorial Rink in South Boston.

Going into the final period trailing Martha’s Vineyard, 2-1, the Dragons tied the game on freshman forward Julia Pano’s goal with 7:13 left, and sophomore forward Bridget Fehily scored the go-ahead goal with 1:26 to play.
