Lukas Kaufman-LaDuc lead the way with three pins as Andover swept a quad-meet to improve to 15-8.  Connor Sheehan 170  and Nendoe Caleb Gleekia 160 stepped in due to a couple of injuries and performed well.

Disaster struck when Andover 152-pounder Kelvin Davila was taken down with 13 seconds left in the third period to send his match into overtime. But Davila didn't let it get to his head, and he came back to win his match 9-7 in OT to help the Warriors earn a big 36-29 win over Dracut.
