The Piners let an impact result slip away by conceding two goals in the final 12 minutes of a 3-1 loss to Lacey on Wednesday, but came up with a pair of big wins on either end of the loss. Compollo helped lead the charge with two goals in a 4-2 win over Barnegat last Monday and turned in another strong all-around performance in a 1-0 win over defending Class B South champion Point Boro.
