No. 3 St. Thomas Aquinas (5-1-0), which hadn’t played since Jan. 27, fell to Somersworth/Coe-Brown Saturday, 4-3. The Saints have a three-game week, taking on Portsmouth/Newmarket Monday before a two-game set with Oyster River.

No. 4 Oyster River (5-2-0) – the only team to defeat Dover to date – slammed Winnacunnet and Portsmouth/Newmarket by an aggregate 15-2 count. Those two games against STA are up next.

No. 5 Merrimack (4-2-0) fell to Dover and Memorial before rebounding against D1 Nashua South/Pelham Saturday. The Tomahawks head to D1 Brady Monday and host D1 Keene Saturday.

No. 6 Somersworth/Coe-Brown (5-4-1) lost to D3 Kennett before upsetting STA. Monday’s visit to Spaulding, followed by Wednesday’s home date with Winnacunnet, are on the docket this week.

No. 7 Winnacunnet (3-5-1) lost to OR but handled Portsmouth/Newmarket. The Warriors bracket Friday’s home game against Portsmouth/Newmarket with roadies against SCB Wednesday and Spaulding Saturday.

No. 8 Goffstown (1-6-0) grabbed its first win Saturday against D3 John Stark/Hopkinton. The Grizzlies visit D1 Bow Monday.
