Last Friday, the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) released its first power rankings of the 2022 fall season for boys and girls high school soccer teams in the state.
The top 32 teams in the rankings in each sport will qualify for a state tournament spot. Teams ranked No. 33 and below qualify for a state tourney play-in game with a .500 record or better.
Every team in each division has been given an overall rating based on what they have accomplished to this point. Contributing factors are average margin of victory (capped at +/- 3 goals for any one game) and the average of a team's opponents' overall ratings. When you add those two scores, you get a team’s overall rating.
Here is a look at the top five in all five divisions in Massachusetts boys and girls high school soccer.
