Well, it was quite a thrilling match today. We quickly got down 0-2 with our #1 and #2 doubles teams being dispatched quite quickly--though the level of play was high, we just couldn't win the games. But then we won all 3 of the remaining matches-- in fairly emphatic fashion-- coming out with the team W! It was especially great that most of the team, including some people who weren't scheduled to play, stayed to cheer everyone on. A fun day, and pats on the back all around. Here are the scores:
#1d: Katharine & Jean lost to Theresa Hodge & Rebecca Hyman 0-6 0-6. Yes ... a blanker.
#2d: Wendy & Donna lost to Adrienne Birkenbach and Laura June 1-6 1-6.
#3d: Emily & Alyson defeated Sara Turk and Barb McClanahan 6-2 6-3.
#1s: Gayle was the last to come off the court to cheers, beating Elizabeth Lee in a marathon match not indicated by the score, 6-3 6-1.
#2s: Melissa won her first USTA match ever, beating Carolyn Norris 6-4 6-2.
A lot of the scores were pretty lopsided, but the play was not. This is a very good team and we'll have 2 more chances to play them before the season's out.
Next up is Smith, who is currently ahead of us in this very young season but looks to be the team to beat. We're off to a great start-- let's keep the momentum going! --Jean
