Game 25: D2 North Semifinals Melrose 3 Danvers 0

Melrose hosted Danvers and advanced back to the D2 North finals after missing a year, defeating the Falcons 25-14, 25-14, and 25-15.

Danvers has a relatively new program and showed some proficiency at blocking and digging, but simply didn't have enough offense to overcome Melrose's experience and depth.

Victoria Crovo dominated in the middle for Melrose, Saoirse Connolly ruled the service line, and Kaitlyn MacInnes led the back row which had an above average performance. The full box score is not yet available.

The victory propels Melrose back to a rematch with long-term rival Arlington Catholic, Saturday at 3 p.m. at Tewksbury.
