Tough night

Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Showed up

    Tough night on paper — but every match is data for the next one. The roster fired all five shots.

What to clean up
  • Slow out of the gate

    Dropped the lead-off 0-3 — playing from behind all night is harder than it needs to be.

  • Conceded a sweep

    Peter, Pete, and Patrick got blanked — those are the matches that flip a tight night. Bench depth / pre-match feel matters.

  • 2 hill-hill losses

    Meghan and Patrick both dropped hill-hill matches. Closing-out drills pay back fast.

  • Got caught looking down

    Patrick (SL7) dropped to a SL6. Handicap was on our side — that's a win we leave on the table.
