Melrose traveled to Arlington to face the Arlington Catholic Cougars, renewing a bitter rivalry going back several years. In 2002, AC defeated Melrose in the playoffs' second round. In 2003, Melrose thrashed the heavily favored Cougars to take the Division II North title, and last year Melrose eliminated AC from the postseason in a hard-fought game at Stoneham. But today, the action fell to the Cougars 3-0.
Limited details are available (at this time), but AC won in a close match 26-24, 25-23, and 25-21 according to our sources. AC had the superior offense with Maria Scocca at the net, and Elise Caira hitting back row, yet Melrose played solid defense and had their opportunities but couldn't convert.
Melrose hosts North Reading Friday at 4 p.m. at Roosevelt School Gymnasium. North Reading was undefeated going into yesterday's match versus Reading. The score was not available in the Globe today or at Cape Ann League scores.
