Smith Varsity2 vs.
In
a very exciting display of confidence, focus, and determination, the Smith
Varsity 2 Squad earned a 5-4 victory over WNEC in official matches and a 7-7 tie
in all matches. The team played
strongest in its singles matches. Becky
led the way with a 0 and 2 win in which she hit for consistency with very few
unforced errors. Jenn’s display
of ground strokes with depth and pace and her ability to scramble for the ball
were terrific. Jesse demonstrated
her game of directional shots, well placed, forcing her opponent’s errors.
Angela, getting a late start, defeated her opponent in a very close eight
game Pro Set. Lindsay defeated her
opponent in a second set tie breaker, delighting the spectators, with a picture
perfect serve and volley game. Annmarie
rounded out the singles matches with a solid win over her opponent.
In
doubles, Jesse and Angela moved well together and overpowered their opponents to
win 8-1.
All of the players’ willingness to mentally focus and remain confident is making this an exciting team which we really enjoy coaching.
Congratulations!!
