Lady Trojans suffer setback against Nation Ford on Thursday night

Sorry for delay in posting, but my computer has been acting up on me and it is in the shop. Our match on Thursday night was extremely exciting to witness. We were neck and neck with Nation Ford all night, but didn't come out on top in the end. We are now at 7-8 overall and 3-5 in region matches.

We had inspired play at all of our singles lines and Brittany Whitrock picked up a dramatic come from behind win at 3 singles. After trailing 4-9 in the match 10-point tiebreak, Brittany fought off six match points and won the last seven points in a row to come away with a victory.

Our 1 doubles line of Maggie Orr and Ruth Anne Burnette was solid from beginning to end in securing our second win in a proset 8-4.

Practice on Monday will be from 9 - 11:30 am or so. We take on Clover on Tuesday and have our last home match of the year on Thursday.

Go Trojans!
