Gratitude for an Excellent Season

Melrose Lady Raider Volleyball 2018

Every version of Melrose volleyball has cause for celebration. 2018 fits that bill. After graduating a mature team last season, Melrose battled all season without seniors, facing improved Middlesex League opponents and a tough non-league schedule.  

The Lady Raiders had a solid season, capturing the Middlesex League Freedom Division, extending its title run with an overall record of 15-8. 

They won a pair of postseason contests before running into Lynnfield, the eventual Division 2 North champions. 

In addition to team accomplishments, individual players received hard-earned recognition.
