Pomfret was a great host today, and the cool weather only affected teammates who were watching matches.  This week’s team goal was to build match toughness, and the girls worked well on that goal by hitting their cross court targets with more power; we are hitting fewer tentative strokes and exercises more control with shot selection.  The team overall also cut down on committing errors–especially on important points.  The exciting match of the day involved Hailey Burke and Jessie Bicknell who fought from behind and executed a great win at number one doubles.  One of next week’s focus will be our second serves.  We look forward to a challenging week, hosting Deerfield at home and traveling to Berkshire at week’s end.
