Melrose traveled to Wakefield and departed with a three set win and a playoff berth.
Every match provides opportunity to learn something about yourself and your team. Competition affords opportunities to refine serves, work on serve receive, improve passing, establish your communication identity, and so on.
Wakefield led early 5-4, as Melrose looked for answers to playing less than 'A' volleyball yesterday. But the wakeup call came early, and Melrose ran off a 13-2 stretch to lead 17-7. Melrose closed out the Warriors with an 8-2 finish to win 25-9.
Meri Lessing had five kills, Cat Torpey a pair, and Marissa Cataldo, Hannah Mulcahey, and Victoria Crovo one apiece.
The Lady Raiders went out quickly in set two to lead 12-4 with action for hard-working reserves. Wakefield got as close as 19-16 before Melrose closed out six consecutive points to win 25-16.
Junior Meagan Leyne, sophomores Bella Federico, Caroline Nolan, and freshman Lily Fitzgerald all got some valuable experience in the set.
The young Lady Raiders also saw plenty of time in the final frame and proved themselves to be quick studies, leading 10-3 and 17-6 en route to a 25-10 set win. It was more of the same with kills from Meagan and Cat leading the way.
The early integration of young players into the roster and into game action provides a continuous repletion of talented players through the system. Early development, coupled with practice and game experience helps contribute to eleven consecutive Division 2 North finals and seven D2N titles.
