HUDSON —Andover rolled to the title at the North Sectionals yesterday. The deep and talented Golden Warriors totalled 146.1 points, topping their school record of 145.0 set at their recent Senior Night.

Andover beat out Newton South (144.475. North Andover took fourth (141.475) and Central Catholic fifth (140.325) in the group of 11-team qualifiers. The top four advance to States Saturday at Shrewsbury at 4 p.m.

"We are so excited," said Andover coach Tracy Vadala. "We were seeded first. It's always hard to stay on top. The girls were great top to bottom. The key to this team is we have depth from 1-6. They are all more than capable of scoring very, very well. If somebody falls, somebody else will get that score for us. People make mistakes but we have somebody to pick us up."

There weren't too many letdowns yesterday.

Although it's not an individual scoring meet, Andover had some impressive performances highlighted by Courtney Carver third and Jessie Livingston seventh in the all-around.

"They know the have to be in a zone," said Vadala.

North Andover's Nicole Stevens was the runner-up in the all-around and Central went 9-10 with Keara Loughlin and Kayleigh Dugan.

Andover isn't satisfied just jet.

"We'll be back in the gym Monday," said Vadala.
