Melrose traveled to Burlington to complete a long week, coming away with a three set victory. I'm told that Burlington was much improved, with rumors of a transfer student.
Certainly the first set saw a different Burlington, as the hosts led 2-0, 4-3, and 8-7. Melrose took the lead back for good at 10-9, and from a 12-11 lead, finished 13-6 to win 25-17. Athena Ziavras led the way with five, while Jill Slabacheski added a pair. Melrose's two service errors didn't prove costly.
Game two saw a quicker start, with a 9-3 Lady Raider lead. Burlington never got closer than 3 in a 25-11 victory. Unofficially, Athena added another six kills to her tally, and Melrose went service error-free.
The third game saw some back-and-forth action with the Red Devils trailing 6-1, only to go up 9-7 with a couple of runs of their own. But Melrose restored order with a 14-4 run and late substitutions closed out a 25-14 win. Jill had another three kills and the under-rated setter Brooke Bell added three kills of her own.
