Our entry level league for the Women starts with this league and this year there were 6 teams of players who have either just started playing competitively or have played a couple of years and are starting to understand the demands of the game. For some people, the thought of competition scares them off from participating, but being competitive is to give your best effort and to start noticing what aspects of your game need work so you can keep improving. Midtown-Chicago played against College Park in the semis with each team winning 2 matches. When that happens we look to see how many sets were won by the team. On court 4 the match was decided by a 10 point match tie-breaker. College Park won the tie-breaker and the match but because MTC won one of the sets, they won 5-4 in sets. Lakeshore played against Glenbrook and won 4-0. What isn’t reflected in the match scores is the fact that 3 of the 4 matches were decided by match tie-breakers. As anyone who has played match tie-breakers knows, it can go either way. Midtown-Chicago and Lakeshore will face off against each other at The Libertyville Club on May 11th at 11am.

The two other teams in this league, Midtown-Palatine and Midtown-Bannockburn, played against each other in what we call the “Experience Finals” The 3rd set is played out with no time limit. Three of the four matches went to 3 sets. Each team won 2 matches so the decider was sets which Midtown-Bannockburn won 6-5.
