Still undefeated, Westwood holds strong at No. 1 in this week's Globe girls' lacrosse Top 20. The Wolverines are strong on both sides of the ball, averaging almost 18 goals per game and allowing less than four. No. 2 Notre Dame (Hingham) took one loss against a strong St. Anthony's team on the road in New Hampshire, but have come out on top against tough in-state competition, including four Top 20 teams. The Cougars will travel to Westwood on Tuesday for a chance to claim the No. 1 spot in our Eastern Mass. rankings.

At 12-0, Westford Academy remains at No. 3 but hasn't yet had a chance to truly prove themselves against the some of the regions best. But the Grey Ghosts are definitely the top team North of Boston right now. Foxborough (9-0), North Andover (9-1) and Needham (8-1) come in at Nos. 4, 5 and 6, respectively. With loads of talent all over the field and no head-to-head matchups thus far, it is hard to tell which of these teams has the edge.

As for Nos. 7 through 9, Medfield defeated Dover-Sherborn who defeated Hopkinton who defeated Medfield. All three have two losses and schedules loaded with tough opponents. Franklin, which leads the Hockomock League with a 4-0 conference record, comes in at No. 10 this week.

Winchester, Norwell, Wayland and Duxbury -- all contenders for the Division 2 state title this year -- fill out Nos. 11 though 14. While Lincoln-Sudbury and Acton-Boxborough of the stacked Dual County League follow at Nos. 15 and No. 16. The final four teams, Norwood, Dartmouth, Masconomet and Marblehead, all lead their respective conferences.
