"We won the doubles point after Kristi and Iva won a very close match at #2 after being down match point. In singles, Jennifer Ball played a very good match against a good opponent. Even though she came up short she represented us very well in a tough loss at #1. Chyna Jones also did a great job and fought hard in her singles match."
