Watertown Rally Drops Melrose 47-44
Melrose had its fourth chance to clinch a post-season berth and fell 47-44 at Watertown.
Melrose led for three quarters, up 13-11, 19-16, and 29-23 at breaks. A strong first half by Sydney Doherty (10 of her 13 points) propelled the Lady Raiders to the lead.
But Watertown's Coppola sisters rained down threes on Melrose in the fourth, scoring 24 points to drop Melrose to 9-9 with a pair of games remaining.
Melrose struggled at the free throw line, shooting 9 for 25 (36%) including 4 for 11 in the critical fourth period, derailing a chance to break their losing streak which now extends to four games.
Brooke Bell led with fifteen points, followed by thirteen for Sydney, and eight for Kayla Wyland.
The St. Mary's tournament remains and Melrose needs to find some magic in Lynn to find a spot in the post-season.
