With Woburn having been dealt a stunning 3-2 loss to Wakefield, the now-No. 4 Tanners vacated the top spot to the undefeated defending Division 2 champion Duxbury. The Dragons are the only perfect team in the state, with a 13-game run with no losses or ties and at the rate they are going, it doesn't look like there is much stop them.

Third-ranked Arlington Catholic (15-1-1) saw the same luck with its undefeated run blemished after No. 5 St. Mary's handed the Cougars a 5-2 loss behind Alison Butler and Kaleigh Finigan. The loss bumped unbeaten Acton-Boxboro to No. 2 after beating No. 12 Braintree.

Barnstable dropped to No. 11 after losing to Duxbury, 4-0, and No. 14 Winthrop, 4-1 in the same week. No. 19 Austin Prep put a dent in Hingham, 4-3, to drop the once top-ranked Harborwomen to No. 9.
