Game 4: Tewksbury 70 Melrose 43
Melrose returned to action and suffered its third consecutive defeat at the hands of the Tewksbury Redmen, 70-43, in a non-league game at the Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School. The loss dropped the Lady Raiders to 1-3.
Melrose jumped out to a quick 8-5 lead with a pair of hoops apiece from Katey Sullivan and Olivia Smith. After that, it was all Tewksbury, as their transition game hurt Melrose who simply had no solutions in transition offensively or defensively during Tewksbury's 45-16 run.
Tewksbury took a 24-14 lead into intermission, while Melrose in a slower paced offense had eleven turnovers and no free throw attempts at the half.
Tewksbury removed all doubt in the third period, burying Melrose with a 27-10 advantage to lead 51-24 after three.
Ashley Harding came alive inside with ten second half points to lead Melrose to a 19-all tie for the final period, abetted by some good interior play from Katey Sullivan who finished with eleven points.
Lady Raider Notes: Melrose continues limited by injuries with Allie Nolan and freshman Leonora Ivers out. Coach Lindsay Shanahan added freshman Cat Torpey from JV. Melrose continued to struggle from the free throw line, shooting 7 for 19.
