Key Sequence of Second Set


Video trimmed from the WCAT YouTube feed. 

The capacity to win points defines the top teams versus those near the top. Trailing 22-19 in the second set, Melrose strung together a 6-1 run on a mixture of hitting, excellent serving, and maintaining composure to eke out a 25-23 win. 

Wakefield's back row was excellent in fending off a myriad of attacks but Melrose had enough firepower to win. 

Elena Soukos had a dozen kills including some key ones from the back row and Gia Vlajkovic added five. 


The win sets the stage for a postseason tuneup Saturday (JV 1200, Varsity 1330) against western Mass titan Frontier (14-3) which comes off a revenge win against 14-3 Westfield. One of Frontier's losses comes against the top-ranked Westborough Rangers.
