It takes courage to keep hitting. Athleticism, size, skill, and resilience define teams. In the third set, Melrose trailed 20-13, 22-16, 23-20, and 24-23 before putting Wakefield away.
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich says, "pound the rock" as "you can't skip steps." If it takes a hundred hits to break the rock, keep pounding until it splits. Gia Vlajkovic kept pounding the rock until it gave, unwavering in hitting intent in one of the elite sequences of Melrose Volleyball.
It's always a team effort and Melrose got three late kills from Gia including staving off set point and a go-ahead winner from Elena Soukos to put Melrose in position to win. And don't sleep on key serves from Abby Hudson and Ava Burns down the stretch.
Melrose notes: It's an East versus West Showdown Saturday as Maxpreps.com Western Mass leader Frontier invades Melrose (Boston Area #3) the MVMMS Gym at noon (JV) and @130 (Varsity).
