North Andover boys soccer was able to post two goals in the first 15 minutes of play before losing its tempo in a foul-filled battle against Jeremiah Burke.

Surviving a penalty shot goal from the Dorchester school, the Knights got an important score from Dennis Graef off a rebound of his own free kick to lock up a 3-1 first-round tourney victory.

Mike Skarabelis put second seed North Andover on top to stay with his first-half markers.

The Knights dodged a bullet when their six-man wall blocked a Burke free kick at the top of the penalty area that could have tied the game. From there, goalie Marc Patnaude (five saves) stood tall and blanked the 15th seeds the rest of the way.

Next up on North Andover's Division 2 North tourney run is a home quarterfinal date tomorrow at 7 p.m. against No. 7 Winchester, which edged 10th seed Beverly, 2-1 in overtime.
