Match Point

Video Via Jen Gentile

Match point, Melrose wins the aggressiveness battle and uses the width of the court on an Abby Hudson smash

A lot 'went right' on this play:

  • Autumn Whelan delivers another consistent serve.
  • Billerica could be tentative facing match point. 
  • Elena gets a back row attack in play.
  • Billerica's dig off Elena's hit jams the setter at the net.
  • The threat of middle attack pins the middle defender so there is no double block.
  • Abby gets a quality set against the lone blocker who is "late" as Abby's attack goes past before she can get a full jump.
  • Down-the-line attack gives the back row defender zero reaction time...literally a do or die play.
