1D: Emily & Laura, playing for the first time together, were unfortunate to face a team that has played (very well) together for years, Joan Garlow & Beth Nguyen, losing 6-1 6-3
2D: Jean & Katharine defeated Rebecca Hyman and Barb McClanahan, 6-2 6-3. Rebecca strained her calf during the first set, which made things easier, but hey, we'll take what we can get! :-)
3D: Trish & Cecile lost to Amy Gemmill and Sara Turk, 6-4 6-1
1S: Gayle prevailed, in her usual style (i.e., through dogged patience! :-)) vs Elizabeth Lee, 5-7, 6-2, 1-0 (10-8)
2S: Donna, subbing at the last minute for Mary (whose son broke his foot on the volleyball court an hour before our match), made a heroic effort and played well, but could not get the edge on Carolyn Norris, losing 6-2 6-2
Right now it looks like we are basically on par with Smith (whom we beat last match) and Schlerf (whom Smith defeated) in the middle of the pack. A note: thus far we have won as many team matches as we did all of last season (2) so things can only go up from here! I think everyone is playing well and it's nice to have some established singles players and doubles pairs to draw from.
Due to the forecast for rain on Sunday, we will not have practice. Do let me know, however, if you'd like to have a practice on Memorial Day weekend. State your preference for Saturday or Sunday ... either day, let's say we'll start at 9 am.
