Game 6: Melrose 3 Stoneham 0

President John F. Kennedy's inaugural address in January 1961 included, "those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside." Ambition without humility can turn out badly. There is a lot of volleyball to be played. 

Melrose hosted Stoneham today winning 25-12, 25-5, and 25-11. The Lady Raiders did what they had to do. 

Everyone saw action. Lydia Lombardo had several long service runs, Lily Fitzgerald dominated at setter, and Emma Randolph feasted on Stoneham errors. Melrose's defense was seldom tested. Grace Davis tallied a few kills from the opposite and Claire Albuja showed some "ups" offensively. 

Woburn defeated Arlington today in five sets. 

After demanding games last week, the team was less extended today. They've earned three days of practice before facing undefeated Frontier in South Deerfield Saturday. Frontier faces Notre Dame Academy later this week.
