Playoffs: Round of 32, Melrose 3 Somerset-Berkley 0

Melrose topped Somerset-Berkley 25-13, 25-14, 25-17 in a home match to move to the round of sixteen.

Coach Scott Celli has never been wedded to convention. With their number two hitter out and a week to prepare, the MVB skipper went to a young lineup including freshman Sadie Smith and sophomore Maggie Shoemaker and both delivered. 

Before the match, Celli predicted the keys to the match would be serve and serve receive, stop the outside hitters, and dominate the middle. Melrose did well on receive and containing the outside. But the offensive attack was versatile and service struggled. 

More to follow.
