In stark contrast to last week, there was just one change in this latest HNIB News Massachusetts Girls Division 2 Top 10, and the only change came at the tenth spot.

#2 Archbishop Williams (7-0-1) played just once, taking a 3-1 win over Bishop Feehan. The Bishops get Weymouth (Wednesday) and Hingham (Saturday) this week.
A shutout win over Franklin (3-0) keeps Algonquin/Hudson (6-1-1) at #3. The Titans will be tested Monday against Wellesley, and face Westford Academy Saturday.
#4 Andover (5-2-1) lost to D1 #1 St. Mary’s, and responded with a blanking of Acton-Boxboro. A tough week looms for the Warriors: Billerica/Chelmsford (Monday, Beverly/Danvers (Thursday) and Shrewsbury (Saturday).
#5 Falmouth (5-1-3) had a big league win over Nantucket, and then tied Rhode Island’s LaSalle 2-2 on Saturday. The Cape Cod Furies (Wednesday) and Barnstable (Saturday) are on tap this week for the Clippers.
