The NC Women’s 4.0 Wednesday finals took place at Midtown-Bannockburn.  Midtown-Chicago and Lakeshore Sports and Fitness, two clubs in Chicago less than a mile from one another, took the trek up to the North Shore to decide which team would have their name on the trophy.  What we do know is that Midtown-Chicago got off to a strong start and won courts 1,2, and 3 in 2 sets.  Those wins did not come without a lot of pushback from Lakeshore with close sets on all 3 courts. On court 1, MTC’s Maura Starshak and Cheryl Cutinho won against LSSF’s Erin Malley and Janine Sheridan 6-2, 7-5. On court 2 MTC’s Sandy Cuprisin and Kim Rizzo pulled out a close win over LSSF’s Jocelyn Durels and Sylvie Pichon 6-4, 7-5. On court 3 MTC’s Alison De Castro and Amanda Shaw took on LSSF’s Melanie Liss and Rachel Ellis and won 7-5, 6-2. LSSF’s Tracey Sartino and Penny Trowbridge won court 4 in 2 sets over MTC’s Marcia Florence and Kathy Nulton 6-1, 6-3.  It was Lakeshore’s only win.  On court 5, the last to get off the court Karen Chandler and Stephanie Perlmutter won in 3 sets over Adrienne Eybergen and Laura Keener.  They won 6-3, 6-7(0), 6-4. Close match!!  On court 6, MTC’s Leslie Antunovich and Cathy Grodzins won the first set 6-4, lost the second set 3-6 and won the third set 6-2 over LSSF’s Jennifer Roche and Annette Pruss.  Midtown-Chicago takes home the trophy for the NC Women’s 4.0 Wednesday league 2014.
