Last match a bummer ... but with a good singles win

Hi all--

Our match yesterday vs. Duffy/Amoyal was frustrating for most of us-- we just couldn't beat this team for some reason (and some of us lost really badly -- see #1 doubles, below ;-)). However, Sue Lin had a great straight-set victory at #1 singles, which gave us something to cheer about :-). Here are the final scores:

1D) Jean & Kelly let the match run away from them, losing to Ann Chouinard & Karla Lee 3-6 0-6. (OUCH! It still hurts to say it a day later!)
2D) Emily & Karen fell just short in a great contest with Janice Dent & Jenneca Ward, losing 6-7 (0), 4-6
3D) Trish & Jane lost to Farah Duffy & our former teammate Karen Sellinger 3-6 2-6
1S) Sue Lin had a comfortable victory vs. Courtney Nichols, 6-3 6-4
2S) Meghan Callahan had a great first set before running out of steam vs. Laura Bull, losing 4-6 1-6

So-- not the most uplifting way to end the season, but there it is. We end with a 7-9 record and are currently in 6th place out of 9 teams, and will either end up in 6th or 7th depending on what happens during the final matches on Wednesday (we have a bye). My guess is that Smith (the team below us) will likely end up squeaking past us into 6th place. Ah well. Teams 4-7 were all very close this season--it's nice to be in that middle group this year, after struggling to stay out of last during our first 2 seasons (we had a record of 2-13 (!!!) in both of those years). So-- we are making progress, ladies!!

Looks like the team get-together is ON for Wednesday, July 10. I'll call Tark's & see if they can reserve some outdoor tables for us. Between now & then look for a wrap-up post-- we have many things to celebrate this season!
