Game 9: Melrose 3 Stoneham 0

Melrose completed its first round against the Freedom Division with a 25-4, 25-13, 25-19 home win against cellar-dwelling Stoneham.

The win boosts Melrose's record to 8-1 headed into Wednesday's annual tough clash with John Fleming's Winchester Red and Black.

The first set was all Leah Fowke, who took over the service line leading 5-4 and proceeded to run twenty straight to close the set. This was the longest I've seen since circa 2004 when Marianne Foley ran off 28 in a row against Hamilton-Wenham.

Here's the product of the first, a Fowke to Sadie Jaggers smash. 

Sets two and three saw Melrose Coach Scott Celli sprinkle in less experienced and younger players to both reward their hard work and help them get a chance to prove themselves.

Video highlights will follow as time permits.
