Mixed Tri-Level Team: Team Stars & Stripes Shines at Sectionals! Our mixed Tri-Level 3.0/3.5/4.0 Team Stars & Stripes, (captained by Tamara Ashford), recently competed at Sectionals the weekend of 11 -13 April and performed with grit and spirit! The team went 1-1 in their division, narrowly missing a shot at the Finals match. In their first match against Fredericksburg, they fell 2-1 with a heartbreaking 10-8 match tiebreak loss on the 3.5 line (shoutout to Erik Wittreich and Carey Bryant!). They bounced back with a 2-1 win over Anne Arundel. Each line earned a win over the weekend, a great showing from a strong squad! Roster: 3.0: Don Meyer*, James Moore*, Brian Reardon, Erin Alexander, Barbara Hancock*, Diana Hung, Linda Thierauf; 3.5: William Hancock, Joe Napolitano, Justin Swick, Erik Wittreich*, Carey Bryant*, Whitney Austin Green; 4.0: Marc Short*, Senthil Seetharaman* (non-ANCC player), Jennifer Bell, Jessica Harris*, Dana Moss *Indicates who played in sectionals. Other Club Highlights : Bobbi Shoop & Kylee Shoop made it to the Finals match as part of the Fredericksburg team at Sectionals. A huge congrats to Kylee, who received a Tri-Level Singles 2025 Sportsmanship Award! David Cross’s 3.5 Men’s team had a tight playoff match for Regionals, but came up just short in a close 2-1 battle. Great effort and strong showing from all involved! Let us hear it for ALL of our winter teams for the wins, the close calls, and the sportsmanship on display. We can’t wait to see what summer brings!
