Round of 16: NorCal vs. Mid Atlantic: NorCal lost. Nichols won beat Joni Hannah in a little over 3 hours...typical Nichols match, 64 26 62. Hannah is unbelievably fast and has great hands. But MATA won the overall match 4-1. Nor Cal lost #2 singles, (Schreck lost to Krasner in 3 sets) and Lisa Dodson from NorCal pulled her hamstring in the 3rd game against Karen Ann Broe at #3 singles. Krasner/Hannah easily won the doubles over Schreck/Haskell, they are a really good doubles team, and we defaulted the #2 doubles. Eastern, New England and Missouri Valley all won.
