Cumberland, the second-highest ranked Division II team in the polls. North Kingstown’s lone division win this year came against Pilgrim, a program that is 0-4 and averaging about seven points per game. Things don’t get any easier for the Skippers this weekend, as even in a non-league game, they draw No. 11 East Greenwich
