Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • 2 sweeps in one night

    Pete and Peter both hung shutouts on the opp — a stack of bonus points before bonuses are even counted.

What to clean up
  • Slow out of the gate

    Dropped the lead-off 1-4 — playing from behind all night is harder than it needs to be.

  • Couldn't shut the door

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

  • Conceded a sweep

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

  • Got caught looking down

    Patrick (SL7) dropped to a SL5. Handicap was on our side — that's a win we leave on the table.
