Melrose (12-0) proved inhospitable for talented Lexington delivering a 25-17, 25-13, 25-15 knockout. The Lady Raiders informed as relentless an offensive attack as witnessed in twenty years of watching Melrose volleyball. Melrose should ice those right arms tonight in preparation for the Middlesex League finals Saturday at noon in Winchester (12-0).
Melrose showcased legions of attackers - outside, inside, and from the back row. Lexington was no weak sister as they didn't wilt despite the ferocity of the Melrose attack. I thought Lexington was the best team they had faced this season.
It's hard to single out individuals among such a display but Elena Soukos was immense from the outside and back row hitting, Emily Hudson and Chloe Gentile owned the net, and Abby Hudson maintained her vicious season-long outside hitting. That understates big hitting from Gia Vlajkovic, great setting from Eva Haralabatos and extreme ownership of the defense of Autumn Whelan and Emma Desmond. Only two of the whole are seniors, Emily and Eva.
