With a short week of games to start the season, there isn’t much change in the Globe’s Top 20 girls’ hockey poll.
From the top, Hingham, Malden Catholic, Methuen/Tewksbury, Duxbury, and Notre Dame (Hingham) kept their spots.
Fresh off defeating No. 11 Bishop Feehan, 2-0, Saturday, HPNA moves up to No. 10. Despite graduating eight from last year, including two Globe All-Scholastics, a younger Haverhill/Pentucket/North Andover squad opened the year with a big win.
Bishop Stang moves up to No. 6 after a 1-1 tie with Notre Dame (Hingham), while Milton, Archbishop Williams, and St. Mary’s also move up in the top 10.
There’s one new entrant, with King Philip entering at No. 19. The Warriors, Hockomock champions last year, graduated none from a season ago and opened the year with a 2-0 victory over Canton.
Records based on scores reported to the Globe.
