Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Stingy on the felt

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

  • Punched up

    Robert (SL3) took down a SL4 — the kind of W that swings a night.

  • Won the heart-rate test

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

What to clean up
  • Slow out of the gate

    Dropped the lead-off 1-3 — playing from behind all night is harder than it needs to be.

  • Couldn't shut the door

    Anchor went down 1-3 with the team match within reach. That's the one to win.

  • Gave up a mini-sweep

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