Melrose traveled to Wakefield (3-0), looking to resume its winning ways against the rising ML12 power. MVB played its best volleyball of the season in a 25-12, 25-14, 25-16 sweep of the Warriors before a loud and boisterous home crowd in a playoff atmosphere.
The win brings Melrose to 4-1 as we are already at the quarter pole of the regular season.
Melrose made some lineup and technical tweaks based on film study and came out better in all aspects of the game.
A first star would have to go to Sabine Wenzel who dominated offensively and defensively up front showing her full array of skills. Setter Leah Fowke was her steady self and Carol Higonenq had an excellent all-around game from the outside. It would be remiss not to mention Sabine and Leah combining on a set by Sabine and kill for Leah.
Improved blocking helped steady the defense anchored by Maggie Turner, Gg Albura, and Alex Homan whose setting ability comes in handy.
MVB serves were more consistent tonight with few errors while Wakefield struggled to stay out of the net against the Melrose offense.
Sofia Papatsoris, Emme Boyer, and Abby Dennison added steady play with few errors up front.
Adele Akland got her first extended action at a designated server and provided a steady performance.
MVB Notes: State Champions in the House. Brooke Bell, Amanda Commito, and Sydney Doherty from the 2012 club all were in attendance.
