Steve Canale scored seven goals and Sam Caron found the back of the net four times as No. 7 North Andover rolled over No. 10 Revere 19-2 in the Division 1 North first round. The Scarlet Knights, who allowed just four shots on net, will travel to No. 2 Reading on Saturday at 5 p.m.

NORTH ANDOVER — This one was over after the first minute.

It only took North Andover's Abbie Karalis 17 seconds to net a goal, and the rout was on from there. The Knights led 3-0 only 73 seconds into the game, as they easily dispatched Revere 17-1 in the first round of the Divison 1 North girls lacrosse tournament. 

Aria Tate and Genesis Santana each scored 14 points but No. 12-seed Lawrence dropped its Division 1 North girls basketball first round matchup to No. 5-seeded Revere 72-53. 

LOWELL — After more than seven innings of outstanding pitching and spotless defense, a few inches led to heartbreak for the Central Catholic softball team yesterday.

With two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning and a runner at third, No. 10 Revere’s Victoria Russo was able to bloop a ball barely over the infield and just a hair inside the first base line scoring the run that dealt the No. 11 Raiders a devastating 1-0 loss in the Division 1 North semifinals at Martin Field.

Ryan Bradley fired in four goals and added three assists as Methuen's boys lacrosse team opened its season with a 10-7 victory over Revere.

REVERE — In the first quarter, Georgetown's Niko Edwards scored on a 6-yard run and threw a 42-yard scoring pass to Colby Ingraham.

But Revere (2-0) dominated the rest of the way to earn a 32-12 victory.

LAWRENCE – As the only senior in the rotation on a squad decimated by late-season injuries, Alex Borrelli must carry a bigger share of the load than was expected.

The North Reading volleyball team crushed Revere 25-7, 25-7, 25-8 to qualify for the state tournament. Kat Mazzone was immense with her serving for the Hornets (9-8), collecting 20 points that included 10 aces. She also had five kills.

REVERE — North Andover’s game plan was as simple as it was effective. “We wanted to run the ball (last night), we made a point of that,” said Scarlet Knights head coach John Rafferty. With a front line performing like a fine tuned five-cylinder engine and running back John Iannone getting the brunt of the benefits, Revere had no answers as North Andover (now 7-1, 2-0 in the CAL/NEC Division 1 alignment) rolled to a 34-6 victory. Peter Markowski, Stephen O’Grady, Collin Couillard, Bobby Trickett and John Miller were regularly blocking into the secondary and didn’t stop clobbering Patriot defenders until the whistle blew. And behind such a powerful performance, all Iannone had to do was follow. The senior got the call on 22 of North Andover’s 31 first-half plays, gaining 143 yards and scoring two of his three touchdowns. With quarterback Brandon Walsh contributing the Knights’ first two TDs on runs while completing the only three passes he needed to throw, North Andover’s first-string offense found the end zone on all five of its possessions. “We wanted to stay focused, pay attention to detail and get the job done,” Rafferty said. “I’m pretty satisfied with what we did.” The defensive front seven was also a thorn in the side of Revere (5-3, 1-2 in the league), putting pressure on quarterback Joe Ritchie and forcing him to throw three interceptions. Trickett, O’Grady, Nate Hitchcock and Greg Ryan (sack) all kept Ritchie on the run, and Walsh, Tom O’Mara and Nick Festa came up with the picks. “It’s all part of the scheme,” Rafferty said. “They had their responsibilities, their techniques they had to perfect. We had a good pass rush, and as a result we were able to put pressure on the passer and his throws were not crisp.” North Andover’s production was especially impressive considering Revere is a brand-new opponent. “We’ve never faced these teams before,” Rafferty said. “As a result, we’re not going off past experience at all. “A new week and a new challenge, we have to get up to speed in a hurry and do our best.” In last night’s blowout, the Knights certainly hit their stride with no problems.
