Game 9: Devil of a Time, Burlington 3 Melrose 2

Burlington (8-1) defeated Melrose (8-1) in five sets to hold the top spot in the Middlesex League Freedom Division. This was the first of three potential meetups with the Red Devils this season. 

In any highly contested match, the winners simply make a few more plays than the vanquished.

Melrose had three attackers with at least thirteen kills - Emma Randolph, freshman Chloe Gentile, and Erin Torpey. 

Melrose is tied for second in the overall Middlesex League race. 

Melrose has a pair of matches next week.
