Despite the defeat, Pineapple Cove Classical Academy saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Yaneilys Aybar had 12 digs.

Melbourne pushed their record up to 7-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season.

Looking ahead, Melbourne will square off against Harmony at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Pineapple Cove Classical Academy has already played their next match (against Merritt Island Christian), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
