Set Points

Melrose had a lot of great setters. Setting also relies on the efficiency of teammates, the consistency and accuracy and power of hitters. If you want to be great, surround yourself with good people. 

I thought I'd show a few highlights for illustration. 

Lily Fitzgerald was All-State in 2017. Her sets look effortless. 


Brooke Bell is the Melrose career leader in assists. She did a lot of things better than others. Here are 2011 highlights, before the team was at its full power in 2012. 

She was the best Melrose player I've seen at attacking the deep corners.
 

She was an elite defender. 


She had great teammates. Here, Melrose turns an elite "dig, set, spike" through great passing and finishing. 


She excelled at timely and deceptive "setter dumps."
 

Leah Fowke has some qualities that most excellent Melrose setters didn't. She has length that affords her great potential as blocker and attacker. She has a higher velocity serve than most. She sends the 'shoot' set across well.
