In a New York Minute, Lexington 63-36
Melrose traveled to Lexington to face the undefeated Minutemen, and the Lady Raiders came up on the short end 63-36.
Lexington opened up with a three, and never trailed, going out to a 22-10 first period lead and never looked back.
Melrose actually shot relatively well early (9-20 in the first half), but Lexington's balance and outstanding freshman Anna Kelly proved to be too much amidst a flurry of turnovers.
Brooke Bell led Melrose with nine points as the Lady Raiders fall to 1-2.
Game analysis: Lexington's ball movement and outside shooting dominated. In the effort to make things happen, Melrose committed over 35 turnovers, which mean that fewer scoring opportunities.
