Melrose Cruises 3-0 Over Watertown

Melrose rebounded following Monday's lone defeat, traveling to Watertown to capture a Middlesex League contest 3-0.

Game one resulted in a simple rout against the improved hosts, including thirteen kills led by three apiece by Laura Irwin, Athena Ziavras, and Hannah Brickley. Colleen Hanscom provided her usual setting excellence. The game was closest at 7-4 and Melrose ran off an 18-2 spree to win 25-6. The Lady Raiders had no service errors.

The remaining action saw liberal substitution and combination experimentation. Athena had a season high six kills in the second game, and Laura added five as Melrose piled up another dozen kills en route to a 25-16 win. Melrose had three service errors in the frame.

The final game saw lots of play for reserve setter Brooke Bell, and three kills for Alyssa DiRaffaele and two for Brooke. A 10-6 Melrose lead grew into a 25-12 victory.

Melrose remains undefeated in Middlesex League play and hosts Belmont Friday as they continue the Middlesex League schedule.
