Cedardale vs. Newburyport

The USTA ladies brought home two team points this week, just one shy of the team win.  Lisa Raess pulled in her signature singles' victory, and Shawn played her first 3.0 match in a singles line-up demonstrating, once again, that she's got a great all-around game.  Jeannie and Ann fought hard nearly pulling in a point in the tiebreak.  Season partners, Betsey and Lisa, played well together delivering the second team point, while Susan and Julie were schooled by a pair who were clearly 3.5 players by anyone's ranking system.  Just remember, ladies, when you post numbers like that it's usually of sign of one funky smell in Denmark. 

Susan introduced the team to a new beverage, and it's only a matter of time before Shawn and Julie mix it with vodka.  Onepointeight (Ochocinco's got nothing on her!) claims that it's a homeopathic product that works to improve memory, balance, and energy while keeping your glycemic index in check.  In consultation with our willing-to-engage-in-pharming pharmacologist, Kristine, I'm going to check with the World Anti-Doping Agency and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists to make certain that we aren't jeopardizing our future standings at sectionals, nationals, and our quest for the gold.  Stay tuned.
