Sparked by a come-from-behind victory at No. 3 singles for Christian Waters, No. 3 Andover sailed past No. 11 Acton-Boxboro 5-0 in the Division 1 North quarterfinals.

Andrew Mack battled for a marathon 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (7-1) victory at No. 3 singles, the lone singles win for Andover High as the Golden Warriors defeated archrival Central Catholic 3-2. Nitin Mahesh and Jeff Birenbaum took No. 1 doubles and Christian Waters and Evan Birenbaum took No. 2 doubles for the Golden Warriors.

Andover remained perfect in MVC Division 2 play, shutting out an improving Methuen squad. Cam McCarthy's steady play and strong work at the net at third singles highlighted the Golden Warrior victory. The Rangers still have a shot at a postseason berth with a win in their last match of the season.

Andover had powerhouse Concord-Carlisle on the ropes but the two-time defending Division 1 state champs extended their lengthy regular season win streak with a 3-2 win. The Patriots' last regular-season loss came in 2004.

Andover won its three straight match without losing a set in a 5-0 romp over Chelmsford. Austin Bendetson was dominant at third singles, winning 6-1, 6-0.
