No. 4 Portsmouth/Newmarket extended its winning streak to six games, knocking off Spaulding, 4-2, and D3 Kearsage/Plymouth, 1-0. Road dates against Merrimack and Hollis-Brookline/Derryfield are on tap this week.
No. 5 Kingswood jumped up four spots on the strength of its holiday tie with Dover and followed up with wins against D3 foes Moultonborough/Interlakes and Kennett. A visit to Somerworth/Coe-Brown precedes Saturday’s home date with Keene.
