Game 20: Newton North 3 Melrose 0

Facing MIAA top-ranked Newton North on the road, Melrose fell in three sets - 17-25, 15-25, 18-25. 

The loss drops Melrose to 17-3 finishing the regular season. Postseason pairings release Monday afternoon. 

Word 'on the street' is that Melrose put together a good effort, playing more crisply, but Newton North had too much. 

Melrose ends the regular season knowing that they faced the top seeds in Divisions 1 and 2 and the number 2 seed (Frontier) in Division 4. 

Preliminary rounds usually start Tuesday and Round of 32 games tip off on next Thursday and Friday. This allows Melrose to self-scout, scout others, and allow players 'nicked up' to recover.
