Melrose's chief Freedom Division competitor, Burlington, came in looking to steal a win. And they captured the first set 26-24 with hefty blocking. But Melrose rebounded to sweep the final three 25-9, 25-16, and 25-14.
Among the highlights were a lengthy service run by Ava McSorley in set four. The Red Devils sped out to a 9-2 edge before Melrose counterattacked while Ava served to 15-9. The team seized a 19-11 lead en route to victory.
The win brings Melrose to 6-1 and 6-0 in Middlesex League play. Burlington drops to 5-2 and 4-2 in the ML12.
Melrose notes: Next week brings an entirely different challenge with the Westborough Rangers in on a Wednesday bringing their uber-talented squad. Westborough eliminated Melrose in the State semis last season before falling to Hopkinton in the finals.
