Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Fast start

    Aaron took the lead-off 2-0 and set the tone right out of the gate.

  • 2 sweeps in one night

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

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.

  • 2 sweeps conceded

    Steven and Robert 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.
