VIDEO: Boys and Girls Soccer Need Penalty Kicks to Advance

Editor's Note: The boys and girls soccer games scheduled for Friday night have been rescheduled.
Because the Division 1 games were moved due to Thursday, the Division 2 games were also changed. The Wilmington boys soccer team will take on North Andover at 3 p.m. before the girls battle Hamilton-Wenham immediately following that tilt.
