Melrose (17-2) traveled to Wilmington and emerged with a 25-9, 25-9, 25-19 victory. The win completes the Middlesex League Freedom Division schedule with Melrose finishing 15-1 in league play. They finish the regular season home Friday against Central Catholic.
Coach Scott Celli shuffled the lineup for today's game. Lineup changes are nothing new. In 2002 with Melrose at 8-6, Paula Sen came up from JV to play opposite and Melrose won six of the last seven. As I recall, in 2010, Melrose moved Alyssa DiRaffaele from the front row to libero, triggering a run to its fifth Division 2 North sectional championship.
The goal each season is to win the final game on a Saturday in late November. Time will tell whether today's moves Melrose further in that direction.
