The girls soccer team, which is number 17 in the power rankings, picked up two more wins this week to move to 12-2-1 on the season. They eased past Barnstable 7-0 on Thursday before battling Newton South to a 0-0 stalemate on a rainy Saturday morning. Senior Olivia Avellar then scored four goals in an 8-0 win over Dennis-Yarmouth on Tuesday.
