"The Best Time of the Year"
Paula Sen used to describe the playoffs as "the best time of the year." And for Melrose girls, they've become accustomed to going to the ball and having the slipper fit.
Recent playoff results for Melrose
2002 1-1 (memorable come-from-behind win over Dracut)
2003 3-1 (D2 North Championship, beat AC)
2004 3-1 (D2 North Championship, beat Dracut)
2005 4-1 (D2 North Championship, beat North Andover, State Finalist)
Tonight at Stoneham (their 'home' site), the Lady Raiders (16-4) host Greater Lowell in a quarterfinal match. Captains Rachel Towle (North Shore League All-League), Laura Dillon (Middlesex League All-Star), and Gina Ciccone (Middlesex League All-Star) lead Melrose's attack and defense.
Including the playoffs, Melrose's past four seasons (2003-2006) have delivered eighty-two victories against just eleven losses and Melrose looks forward to the excitement of post-season play tonight. A big crowd could help Melrose as they seek to defend their D2 North threepeat.
The playoffs begin tonight at Stoneham High School, just off Franklin Street, at 7 P.M. The Lady Raiders wish their sisters on the V-ball squad continued success.
