PHOTOS: Revenge Sweet for Wilmington, Not Melrose

Wildcats girls basketball cruises past Red Raiders, who handed Wilmington one of just three losses earlier in the year.

Not many girls basketball teams have been able to stop Wilmington this season. Melrose was one of those teams, but not the second time around.

The Lady Wildcats, who sit atop the Middlesex League standings with a 16-3 record, 7-1 in league play, got revenge from one of those losses on Friday night when they cruised past the Red Raiders, 52-38.

With the setback, Melrose is now 9-7 overall and 5-3 in league play. The team needs one more win to qualify for a postseason berth.
