Correction, 2:35 p.m. Nov. 15, 2026: An earlier version of this story used the names in The Boston Globe's game accounts for three Duxbury players, Cate Sovik, Anna Manganello and Liv Coperine. Duxbury High School's 2026 varsity girls soccer roster lists them as Catherine Sovik, Annabel Manganello and Olivia Coperine.

Correction, 12:40 p.m. Nov. 15, 2026: An earlier version of this story gave the name of Braintree's junior goalkeeper as Liv Whelan, the name in The Boston Globe's game accounts. She is listed as Olivia Whelan on Braintree High School's varsity girls soccer roster.

The early rounds of the fall state tournaments sent a long list of South Shore teams into the quarterfinals, and a handful of players carried them there. Taylor Bello had back-to-back hat tricks for Hingham girls soccer, Jack Donahue had four goals in two games for unbeaten Oliver Ames boys soccer, and Libby Harper had a hat trick and the go-ahead goal in two Hull girls soccer wins.

Here are the South Shore's tournament results from Monday through Thursday, by sport, with a note on how far each team went later in the week. Scores, seeds, sites and the semifinal pairings are the MIAA's; scorers and stats come from The Boston Globe's game accounts. The full results of Friday's and Saturday's quarterfinals are in our Nov. 13 and 14 roundup, and three South Shore girls soccer quarterfinals are scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 15: Rockland at Sandwich at 1 p.m., Oliver Ames against Masconomet at Danvers High at 2:45 p.m., and Notre Dame Academy at Hingham at 4 p.m.
