But Wait, There’s More. Middlesex League Volleyball Night

The Middlesex League reintroduces Volleyball Night on Thursday the 26th, with all twelve teams in action at Melrose. Games are scheduled for the Main and Marcoux gyms at 330, 530, and 730, with Melrose hosting Burlington at 730.

Years ago in the North Shore League, a similar format prevailed at Masconomet, with games followed by an awards ceremony.

“Make the big time where you are.” The Middlesex League has improved substantially throughout, paralleling the national rise in volleyball participation.

Thursday will also be the final regular season home match for Melrose senior captains Jill Mercer, Lily Fitzgerald, Saoirse Connolly, and Lydia Lombardo. Chris Hurley profiles the team here.

The event should be a terrific celebration for all area volleyball fans.
