Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Fast start

    Aaron took the lead-off 2-1 and set the tone right out of the gate.

  • Punched up

    Steven (SL4) took down a SL5 — the kind of W that swings a night.

  • Won the heart-rate test

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

What to clean up
  • Couldn't shut the door

    Anchor went down 0-2 with the team match within reach. That's the one to win.

  • Lost the lead

    Was up by 3 at the high-water mark. Bleeding a lead in the back half is fixable — usually pace or shot selection.

  • Conceded a sweep

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

Key moments

  1. R1Lead-off goes our way — Aaron wins 2-1.
  2. R5Anchor goes the other way (0-2). Final 3-2 on individual matches.

Next up10-11 loss, but fast start is something to build on. Fix one thing, not five.
