For the second week in a row a Top 5 team has seen their undefeated season come to an end as Braintree lost to Wellesley, falling to 13-1 on the season and to the fifth spot on this week's poll.

With the upset and a win over Newton North, Wellesley moved up two spots to No. 13.

Archbishop Williams had a rough week, dropping four spots to No. 12 after back-to-back losses on Friday and Saturday. Masconomet also feel this week. Despite picking up two wins, they lost to Pentucket, forcing them down to the No. 18 spot.

Scituate continues to climb the standings as their perfect season remains intact (13-0) after they picked up three wins during a busy week.

Slight changes in the bottom 10 round out this week's Top 20 as the 12-20 teams all swept the week with wins.
