2019 Southern NM Champs

Great news to share with you all. Gail, Janet and Linda played on a 3.5 40 & over women's team and Gail and Janet just finished a weekend at Sectional's in Albuquerque where they won it all. This team captained by Jacquie Porter and Maggie Folin of Las Cruces have been playing at this sectional's for years (1 gal has gone 15yrs in a row) and she is so thrilled with her win. This means this team is off to Oklahoma City in October for National's where we will play amongst the best of the best from all over. Very excited to be part of this team and to report on this. It's an amazing feat and the Southwest USTA President Martha Trost couldn't be happier, she has informed us that our district will donate some funds to put towards travel expenses for our trip in October. Can't wait.  Look below for our scores, we haven't confirmed yet, but we're not sure if there has been a 5 and 0 at sectionals, how cool would that be. :)

 Tammy Pickering (family lives in Alamo), Janet Santackas, Lene Loest, Jamie Borsodi, Maggie Folin, Jacquie Porter, Cindy McLean Blackman, Sue Tillery and Gail Richardson.
L.C. vs SAZ: 3 wins 2 losses
L.C. vs Greater El Paso: 3 wins 2 losses
L.C. vs NAZ: 5 wins 0 losses
L.C. vs NNM: 3 wins 2 losses
