They Got the Beat
The Lady Raiders have taken a different direction this summer, playing a series of tournaments instead of the usual summer league action. In the BC tourney, Melrose finished as runner-up, going 6-1.
Last weekend, the girls traveled to Franklin Pierce to play their second tournament. Once again, led by All-Scholastic Shey Peddy and returning All-Star Lynley DeAmato, Melrose played very well, going undefeated and winning the tournament at 7-0. With a mixture of varsity returnees, JV players, and four incoming freshman, the Lady Raiders dominated, beating some strong teams from New Hampshire and Fitchburg.
The Lady Raiders have two tournaments remaining, this weekend at Lowell, against some top area teams (Lowell, Masco, Arlington Catholic, Somerville and others) and some out-of-state powers like Mercy from Connecticut.
Melrose will later play in the Stonehill Tournament, with many of the South Shore powers, including Braintree, Oliver Ames, Spellman and others. The team should remain fun to watch and competitive as they work to remain one of the top teams in Eastern Massachusetts.
