Top Server – Maggie Turner

Top Offensive Player – Leah Fowke
Top Defender – Grace Gentile
Unsung Hero – Manon Marchais
MVP – Sadie Jaggers
Coach’s Award – Leah Fowke
The evening was also a chance for the team to announce their captains for next season. Leading Melrose will be returning captain Leah Fowke, along with juniors Maggie Turner and Gigi Albuja, and sophomore Sabine Wenzel.
