Melrose wins 25-20, 22-25, 25-6, 24-26, 15-9.

To summarize, Melrose was a bit uneven in intensity, and Burlington was led by a fantastic effort by outside hitter Maya Russell, who must have had at least 25 kills.

Melrose had 9 kills in set 1, 9 in set 2, 12 in set 3, 12 in set 4, and 8 in set 5. Jill MacInnes had another spectacular game in the back row,
