Melrose hosted Watertown at the MVMMS gym, clinching a playoff berth with ten wins (10-1) with a 3-0 victory (25-11, 25-7, 25-13).
Melrose got off to a sluggish start, tied at 3, before a 12-4 run removed any doubt. A second run of seven points sparked by a Maave Moriarty service run put the set out of reach.
Annalisa DeBari and Meri Lessing both delivered a pair of kills and Maave had a trio of aces.
Set two was all Melrose with an 11-1 start, and a "single column" (scoresheet anomaly) win. Meri had four kills, Annalisa two, Victoria Crovo a pair, and Melrose had twelve. Maave added another five aces.
In the final set, Melrose raced to a 14-3 lead and coasted. Meri had another four kills and Victoria three.
Game Notes: Despite the win, Melrose saw definite improvement from Watertown, that improved in the back row and added height. Melrose was a bit short-handed with Stephanie Crovo, Cassidy Barbaro, and Ashley Harding unavailable yesterday.
Melrose travels to Lexington Monday for a big ML game against one of the league leaders.
