Ally Fazio hit two big 3-pointers and forced a tough late 3-pointer as Andover survived upset-minded Billerica, 53-52. Fazio harrassed the Indians into an air ball but they scored a layup at the buzzer. Billerica led 41-40 after three. Nicole Boudreau (23 points, 6 3-pointers) and Andover had just enough for their 25th straight win.

"Give them credit, they played very, very well," said Andover coach Jim Tildsley of the visiting Indians.

Historically, Billerica hasn't been known for its girls basketball program. But this year is different as the Indians are ranked No. 7 in EMass. while two-time defending state champ Andover is No. 1 in the EMass and statewide rankings.
