Match Point

Match point, Melrose wins the aggressiveness battle and uses the width of the court on an Abby Hudson smash. 

A lot 'went right' on this play:

• Autumn Whelan delivers another consistent serve.
• Billerica could be tentative facing match point. 
• Elena gets a back row attack in play.
• Billerica's dig off Elena's hit jams the setter at the net.
• The threat of middle attack pins the middle defender so there is no double block.
• Abby gets a quality set against the lone blocker who is "late" as Abby's attack goes past before she can get a full jump.
• Down-the-line attack gives the back row defender zero reaction time...literally a do or die play.
