For the first time in 2025, there is a new team atop the Globe’s Top 20 field hockey poll: unbeaten Walpole, the defending Division 1 champion.
The Porkers climbed to No. 1 after Somerset Berkley halted Watertown’s six-year unbeaten streak at 103 games with a 4-3 win.
Sandwich is No. 2, followed by Somerset Berkley, Watertown, and Belmont. Hingham climbs two spots after tying No. 2 Sandwich, and Andover moves up one spot after limiting Uxbridge to its smallest margin of victory this season.
Canton makes the biggest jump from No. 17 to 11 after a scoreless tie with Franklin. Concord-Carlisle overtakes Lincoln-Sudbury following a 4-4 draw with Acton-Boxborough. Monomoy rises to No. 16 with a 1-0 win over No. 17 Dover-Sherborn. Dennis-Yarmouth, No. 1 in the Division 4 power rankings, moved up one spot to No. 18. Bishop Feehan sits at No. 19, and Scituate rounds out the Top 20.
