It is status quo in the Massachusetts Girls D1 ranks this week. None of last week’s top 10 clubs lost a game, so everything remains the same.
#1 Austin Prep (10-0-0) continues to blanket opponents, adding two more shutouts to the total; Westwood (7-0) and Billerica/Chelmsford (4-0). The Cougars have allowed just three goals all season. Offensively, eighth-grader Sam Taber is red-hot. An interesting matchup with #10 Shrewsbury looms Monday, followed by Archibishop Williams (Wednesday) and Beverly/Danvers (Saturday).
#2 St. Mary’s (8-1-0) returned to action with a key 2-0 win over Archbishop Williams, getting both goals from Jenna Chaplain. The Spartans play Lexington (Monday), Stoneham (Wednesday) and Winthrop (Saturday).
#3 Duxbury (10-0-1) racked up two more impressive wins, knocking off Canton (5-2) and Notre Dame (3-2) to officially qualify for the post-season. The Dragons are scheduled to face Marshfield (Monday) and Barnstable (Saturday). They have a Division best 67 goals for, led by Molly Duvall and Delaney Williams, each with 11.
#4 Andover (11-0-1) drilled Central Catholic 7-1 Saturday behind three goals from Emma Gilmartin. The Warriors are off until a Saturday date with Hanover (NH).
