We traveled to Thornapple Kellog where they held a four-team quad. The teams that participated besides the host were Grand Rapids Christian, Grandville, and North Pointe Christian. The format was 1-6 doubles flights playing the best two of three fast 4 sets. That's the first to 4 games win by two, unless it's 4-4, then the next game wins that set. If they split sets the third set was determined by a 10 point super tie breaker.

 

The Eagles did not disappoint and represented us in spectacular fashion. Everyone was extremely focused, and was on a mission to win from start to finish. We all played with enthusiasm and great sportsmanship on our way to winning all but one match in straight sets. Overall, we won 17 matches with 1 loss. We lost a match where teammates had to play each other, in 3^rd set 10-point super tie breaker to determine the winner. This was a true team effort because most of us had to share playing time. In the past we've always come up 2^nd in this quad, but this year we were able to jump the hurdle and come in 1^st place. They've all worked hard this year, and deserve this accomplishment. Great job girls and we're all super proud of you!   

 

We thank Celia Sharda and Alexa Mckee. Northpointe Christian was not able to field a full team, so those two volunteered and played 3 doubles for NPC. The only match we lost was when they beat their teammates Suzi DenBoer and Zion Kwon in a very close, thrilling match that came down to the last several points. They selflessly volunteered to help out another school to be able to score points. They also played up from they normally play, and did an awesome job of competing.
