Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Fast start

    Meghan took the lead-off 2-2 and set the tone right out of the gate.

  • Stingy on the felt

    2 mini-sweeps (Robert and Peter) — opponents never reached the hill.

  • 3 upset wins

    Robert, Peter, and Meghan all beat higher-SL opponents. Handicap chart didn't see it coming.

  • Won the heart-rate test

    Peter closed out a hill-hill 2-1. Mental game showed up.

What to clean up
  • Couldn't shut the door

    Anchor went down 0-3 with the team match within reach. That's the one to win.

  • Lost the lead

    Was up by 2 at the high-water mark. Bleeding a lead in the back half is fixable — usually pace or shot selection.

  • 2 sweeps conceded

    Steven and Aaron got blanked — those are the matches that flip a tight night. Bench depth / pre-match feel matters.

  • Got caught looking down

    Steven (SL5) dropped to a SL4. Handicap was on our side — that's a win we leave on the table.
