Road Woes Mount, Wilmington 52 Melrose 38
Melrose faced Wilmington for a chance to get a possible share of the ML small lead. When the dust settled, Wilmington (15-2) removed all doubt with a 52-38 win over the Lady Raiders (9-7).
Wilmington took the lead early with a 15-8 first quarter edge and led 26-16 at halftime. Melrose's scoring drought continued, with Brooke Bell with five of her nine points the leader.
Melrose trailed by twelve after three, with only a pair of hoops in the third period, along with five free throws. Jenny McGee had three points in the quarter.
Wilmington iced the game with a fifteen point fourth quarter, and Melrose got balanced but limited scoring.
Game analysis: Wilmington proved its ML Small Division superiority and Melrose continues to look for another win to secure postseason qualifying. 10 for 22 free throw shooting didn't cost Melrose the game, but it didn't make it easier either. Although nine Lady Raiders scored, overall the offense needs more dynamic play to get back in the victory column.
