The Lady Raiders extended their regular season winning streak to 37 defeating the visiting Hamilton-Wenham Generals in straight sets 25-10, 25-11, and 25-17. Stat guru Dick Collis passes along the trivia that the Generals were so named after General George Patton who had a home in Hamilton.
The Lady Raiders prepare for next week's mega-challenge as they travel to Barnstable. Hamilton-Wenham is well-coached but appeared to have a very young although tall club.
Melrose went out quickly to a 6-0 lead in game one and never was challenged. Melrose had only seven kills in set one, three from Hannah Brickley and a pair from Athena Ziavras as the Generals struggled in serve-receive. Siena Mamayek added a pair of blocks.
Set two again saw an early Melrose lead (9-2) with five more Brickley kills and another pair of Siena blocks. Colleen Hanscom set effectively and had eight service points in the frame.
Melrose reserves saw a lot of action in set three, with nine more kills from Hannah and four from outside hitter Laura Irwin.
Here's a sample of Barnstable volleyball action, which Melrose fans will see next week if they make the trip.
