King for a Day
Melrose played its annual Martin Luther King Day game today, traveling to Wakefield for a late eruption and a 40-24 victory. The victory raises the Lady Raiders record to 3-5, with a makeup game against Watertown to complete the first half of Middlesex League play.
The first half gave fans a seesaw battle with the score tied at eight after one and Melrose up a bucket 15-13 at the break. Lia Limone had seven first half points to pace Melrose.
The third period continued the defensive battle, with Melrose up a single point 20-19.
Just as against Lexington, Melrose opened up the offense in the fourth, putting twenty points on the board, with an offensive explosion sparked by Jenny McGee and Sydney Doherty who tallied eight and six points respectively in the quarter, as Melrose capitalized at the free throw line, going 12 for 14 in the period to ice the victory.
Lia led Melrose with a dozen, Jenny added ten, and Sydney finished with eight points.
Lady Raider Notes: Kayla Wyland was out with illness for today's game. Melrose travels to Belmont Friday for the start of the second half of the ML schedule.
