It started off with them defaulting the #2 singles because their player Rebecca Hyman called right before the match to inform Janice that her house had been robbed while she was out walking her dogs. So certainly not a good way to start off for them.
I was sure before that happened that they would not be playing Jeanine and Janice together unless they really were out for a win...well what did they do when we got the line-up and they had already lost the #2 singles, Janice and Jeanine played together at #3 doubles beating Donna and Pam who put up a great fight, losing 6-1, 6-3.
In the #2 slot was Wendy and Emily playing Sherry Dodson and Barb McClanahan in a long one. The first set was 7-6 and Wendy an Emily were ahead 4-1 in the second and then lost ground but in the end managed to close it in 2 sets with a 6-4 score in the second. They were the last ones off the court.
Karen and Joy took an easy 1st set at 6-2 but in the second there opponents, Sara Turk and Carolyn Norris gained momentum turning the tide by winning the second set 6-4. In the tie break the points went back and forth but we just couldn't pull it out.
And finally Gayle who I think we can just nickname Ms. Reliable, pulled out another win over Theresa Hodge 6-4, 7-5.
Always fun watching everyone play. Awesome job to all who played.
