OK, so we like to keep our fans at the edge of their seats...what's wrong with that? I'm talking about our match yesterday against NAIA opponent Ohio Dominican University where we had to go the distance for the 3rd time this year (out of 6 matches!) before bringing home the "W". What was neat about this match was that we once again were able to play all 9 girls in the starting line-up and get contributions from all sorts of places: singles, doubles, top of the line-up, bottom of the line-up, etc... It's really nice to have the luxury of that depth and the piece of mind that on any given day, any of the girls can step up and deliver. A good example of this was Rebecca, who had been undefeated so far in singles (in the spring) going into this match. Rebecca played a very tricky opponent at #4 singles (highest position she's played in her young career) on Saturday and lost, but was able to contribute a huge point in doubles with Emily at the #3 slot. Liz on the other hand who hasn't performed the way she has wanted (and we know she can!), stepped up yesterday and pulled out a crucial win at #5 as did our new, for this spring, addition Carolyn who left no doubt on anyone's mind as who the best player was on that #6 court...

All in all another great win for our team and a great boost of confidence for us heading into our trip to the "City of Brotherly Love" next weekend to take on Swarthmore (Sat) and Haverford (Sun).
