Lynnfield, 4-7 overall, couldn't generate offense against Melrose, and although Melrose wasn't as consistent offensively as they might have liked, they had enough defense and volleying skills to win.
Melrose, coming off a big win against North Andover last week, didn't have as much energy today, possibly looking ahead to a big game tomorrow against once-beaten Arlington Catholic, which had lost only to a powerful North Quincy squad.
Co-captain Rachel Towle and Lauren Howe led the offense today, with stout efforts in the back line from Gina Ciccone, Sam Hamel, and co-captain Laura Dillon.
AC will be looking for blood in their bandbox gym, as they seek to avenge elimination beatings from the Lady Raiders in both volleyball and hoops last season. AC features basketball All-Scholastic Elise Caira and Melrose native Maria Scocca, as well as returning both height and experience.
Melrose is now 4-1 in the Middlesex League, 1-1 in non-league contests, and 4-0 against Cape Ann League foes, with contests against CAL leader North Reading and Masconomet remaining. Reading faced off against undefeated North Reading today, with scores not available as of this writing.
