On with the show we must go.
The Melrose Lady Raiders begin the 2007 campaign hosting Lexington at 4 P.M. Friday at the Marcoux Gym. Melrose seeks to regain the Middlesex League title after a one year absence, losing a narrow 3-2 contest to a tough Reading squad last season.
While the finishing touches are added to the new Middle School gym, the volleyballers will likely play the first three games of the schedule at the refurbished Marcoux.
Melrose brings an enviable combination of experience and youth to the floor, with the possibility of starting four sophomores for the first time in program history. Along with veteran outside hitter Gina Ciccone, and seniors Nicole Glavin and Leslie Hirschfeld, possible starters may include Hannah Brickley, Laura Irwin, Colleen Hanscom, and libero Jess Farr.
Ciccone brings the experience of playing in a State Championship final as well as tremendous versatility. Brickley made a huge impact on the front row as a freshman, and Irwin has the power and hitting swing that could mark her as the next great outside hitter for a program that has produced a series of All-Scholastics over the past four years.
Expect Lauren Howe, Kelly O'Neill, Annmarie Wiesen, and Alex Harlow to make valuable contributions this season as well as additional players promoted during the season.
If you have the time, come to the Marcoux for an exciting atmosphere as the Lady Raiders bring athleticism, effort, and intensity to the court.
