Give What the Group Needs

Sport and life reward those who "complete" the needs of the group. Those who understand the needs of the group and deliver them cement their role. While excelling in that role, they earn the chance to expand that role.

The 2012 championship was filled with elite "role players" who made plays time after time. Exceptional teams get key contributions across the roster. 

1. Jen Cain - one of the best all-around players ever at Melrose who had an excellent career at Merrimack. 

2. Rachel Johnson - elite individual and paired blocker (with Kayla Wyland comprised "The Great Wall") who became the 'third hitter' necessary for a deep playoff run. 

3. Amanda Commito - exceptional back row defender and southpaw server who overcame injury to excel. 

In addition to being excellent players, all showed the character, maturity, and humility of superb young women.
