The NC Women’s 3.5 league started the season with 10 teams but ended the season with 8 teams. In forming their teams, most captains have a fair idea of how many players they need to fill their lineups. But sometimes, as the season gets under way, the reality may be different from what the captains envisioned. Such was the case when FSSC and MTB decided to drop out of the league rather than struggle through the rest of the season with defaults. With the standings readjusted, the rest of the teams settled in. #1 Midtown-Palatine suffered only one match loss at the beginning of the season against The Racquet Club of Lake Bluff and did not give up a lot of points the rest of the season. They will come up against #4 Lincolnshire. #2 Midtown-Chicago will play against #3 RC Lake Bluff. These two teams just played each other on 4/22 with RCLB coming up on top. But a few months back MTC won. We shall see who will be in the Finals. Playoffs take place on 4/29. Good luck everyone!
