As always, our depth is just so damn tough to deal with.
That was a big one. I’m legit surprised at how thoroughly Shin got crushed (I know Altick had her number, but still), and while Hart isn’t necessarily the best matchup for Gordon, Gordon is just flat-out a better player and I wish she’d given a better accounting of herself.
But! But! We won a slugfest against a top 10 team on the road! That is always cause for celebration, and this feels great.
When the schedule was released this season? This was the match I circled. This was always going to be the hardest one to get. And we got it. Because of Caroline Lampl, Melissa Lord, Emma MFing Higuchi, and Emily “I love third sets” Arbuthnott.
I love that it looked dismal for a bit. I love that we had to fight back. I love that Emma needed to win a tiebreaker. I love that Emily needed to win a third set. I love the fight this team has, and it gets me fired up for what they can accomplish this year.
