At Glendale Feb17

We expected Glendale to be our toughest competitor and they didn't disappoint us. Jessica Smith joined us for this match to fill in for Shanna while she recovers.

Number two doubles (Gia and Meghan) had a tough time again and lost a quick match putting us down 0-1. Both number one (Melanie and Lindsey) and three doubles (Kim and Jessica) were up a break 7-6 and were serving for the match...and got broken putting both courts at 7-all. Number three wasn't able to recover from the loss of momentum and lost 7-9. We were now at 0-2 and in a tie breaker for the number one doubles spot. Melanie and Lindsey dominated the tie breaker and gave us hope for singles.

Melanie, Gia and Lindsey again cruised through their matches putting us at 3-2 again. We needed a win from any court 4-6. Meghan was locked in a tight first set. Jessica had a tough opponent and lost her match. Kim was also in a tight set and was able to pull it out. Meghan also won her first set putting us in good position to win the match. Kim played and excellent second set that put us up 5-3 assuring the win. Meghan was in another tough set and wasn't able to pull it out. Glendale opted for playing a tie breaker for the third set and Meghan lost 10-8.

Once again we won 5-4, not the score we wanted but we'll take the win. That puts us at 2-0 on the season.

Next week we will be playing a double header at home. Pima at 9:30 am and Mesa at 1:30 pm.

At Scottsdale Feb 12

We had a tough match at Scottsdale. We started the match 0-2, we were short 1 player so we had to forfeit one singles match and one doubles match.

We won our number one doubles match (Melanie and Lindsey) pretty easily, but lost our two doubles (Gia and Meghan) this put us at 1-2 starting into singles. Our top three (Melanie, Gia, and Lindsey) all cruised through their matches putting us at 4-2. Meghan however was down 0-3 and Kim had just dropped the first set to a tough opponent. We needed one of these matches in order to win the match. Kim was unable to pull her match out. Meghan fought back and won the first set 7-5. In the second set they were on serve up to 5-5 when Meghan's serve was broken to put Scottsdale ahead 5-6. Meghan fought hard and was able to break back tying it at 6-6. Meghan then played a great tie breaker to put us at 5-4 defeating Scottsdale.
