Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Fast start

    Steven took the lead-off 3-3 and set the tone right out of the gate.

  • Sweep on the board

    Aaron blanked their opponent 2-0 — full leaderboard point earned.

  • Punched up

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

What to clean up
  • Lost the lead

    Was up by 2 at the high-water mark. Bleeding a lead in the back half is fixable — usually pace or shot selection.

  • 2 sweeps conceded

    Pete and Peter 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 — Steven wins 3-3.

Next up10-13 loss, but fast start is something to build on. Fix one thing, not five.
