Berkshire’s experience and solid ground strokes proved to be a great challenge and test. The good news for Suffield is that players were able to transfer some good practice work into match play. Doubles players were able to add more ferocity to their volleys. Caitlin and Jessie forged a great comeback to win the second set, and fought back from 3-7 in the 10 point tiebreak, yet unfortunately lost in the end. Their play was solid, and most every point won on that court was a result of a winning shot. Our footwork looks to be improving as well. We’re enjoying this great point by the other twins to remind of how much every player moves in doubles. We look forward to more sunshine and hosting Williston on Wednesday.
