HAVERHILL - The eighth and final selection to the Super 8 baseball tournament is sitting as pretty as possible following the opening two rounds.

A pair of eighth-inning runs and an outstanding eight innings of Brendan Holland relief kept North Andover perfect in the tourney with a 7-5 victory Saturday afternoon over fifth-seeded BC High at Trinity Stadium. The Knights (18-4) will play the other remaining unbeaten team, third-seeded Walpole (18-4), in the winner's bracket semifinal. A date and time for that game has yet to be announced.

After winning its opening round contest 9-8 in double-overtime, the North Andover boys lacrosse team was on the opposite side of the scoreline, dropping a quarterfinal tilt with Acton-Boxboro, 9-8, in overtime. The Knights finish the season at 12-8.

No. 8 North Andover boys tennis topped No. 16 Wakefield 4-1 in the Division 1 North quarterfinals. The Knights will next travel to No. 4 Wayland in the North semifinals on Monday (3:30 p.m.).

Molly Connolly scored four goals and Lexi Swartz and Kelcey Dion each tallied a hat trick as No. 3 North Andover girls lacrosse topped No. 6 Winchester 16-8 in the Division 1 North quarterfinals. The Scarlet Knights will next take on the winner of Friday's matchup between No. 2 Chelmsford and No. 7 Woburn.

In an all-MVC Division 1 North tournament clash, North Andover girls lacrosse bested Methuen, 18-5. The Knights were led by Ali Ferullo's five goals, while Molly Connolly chipped in four. Brenna Greene scored all five of Methuen's goals, while Lindsey Manick made 25 saves for the Rangers.

For the second time in one week, freshman Charlie Dean scored the winning goal in overtime to lead North Andover boys lacrosse to a win, this time a second-overtime strike to beat Chelmsford, 9-8, and send the Knights to the Division 1 North quarterfinals. Dean had two goals, while Jack Chace led the way with five for North Andover, which will travel to Acton-Boxboro on Thursday at 4.

Nicole Fischer swept her match at third singles (6-0, 6-0) to help lift the North Andover girls tennis team to a 5-0 win over Malden in the first round of the Division 1 North tournament.

North Andover's softball team ended its regular season with a 17-0 romp over Essex Tech.  Olivia Rondeau led the 18-hit attack for the Knights (12-8), in just four innings, with three hits and three RBIs. Carley Howe added three RBIs on two hits. 

North Andover softball notched a signature win, scoring four runs in the sixth inning to turn its game with Lowell around and win, 5-2.

However, the Knights handed LaCedra and her team their first defeat in 2019, thanks to a strong complete game pitching performance from Samantha Ahlholm and a 2 for 3 showing, plus two RBIs, from Claudia Mabley.
