OMG…Really?

This week match wasn’t pretty for the Jammers.  They lost their first match for the season 2-3 to the Netchix.  Nancy Winters tried her best at singles against Pat McCormick.  She fought hard, but it wasn’t her day, she lost in two sets 6-4, 6-1. 

Kim Wood was also having a tough time in her singles match against Carol Goldstein.  In the first set, Kim was down at 0-5, but turned around and won the next 3 games.  But that’s all she could do in the first set.  She lost it at 6-3.  In the second set, Kim won the first 3 games.  We all thought she was on her way to win the set.  It didn’t work out for the Jammers.  Kim lost in the second set at 6-4.

Kelly Kramer teamed up with Beth Wilson again for their doubles match.  It was a tight first set, point by point, and game by game.  They won the first set against Karen Smith and Lesley Skinner 7-5.  They have a little easier time in the second set; they won it at 6-3. 

Our second doubles team of Karen Griffin and Lisa Powell were really having a hard time in their first set.  They lost 6-1 to Peggy Lindsey and Susy Barr.  Lisa said they played a little bit better in the second set but just could pull out a win for the team.  They lost the second set to the Netchix 6-4.

Heidi Smith joined forces with Margaret Taylor and played well together.  They won their match in two straight sets against Ann Vogel and Polly Egbert 6-2, 6-1.

It was a tough lost for the Jammers.  But I think it will give them a chance to reexamine what is it that they need to do to win their last match for the season.  They need to see what they all need to do AS A TEAM to move forward when they compete at Sectionals.  I hope they realize that at any given time, a chance at Sectionals can be taken away from them if they lose sight of it.  I’m sure none of the Jammers would like to sit at home again like they did last year. 

The Jammers have another bye next week, so it will give them a chance to think about what happened this week and perhaps work on their game and be ready for their last match of the regular season.  Can’t have an undefeated season this year, but perhaps the chance at Sectionals will be a great one!
