Arbuthnott-Bolton and Blake-Hart were the matchups I expected, just on different lines!
Yeah, only one first set when you need four points is rough. Arbuthnott is showing some fight in the second set, which is encouraging. Higuchi is hanging in there. But even if they were to pull off three-setters, where’s the fourth point? Maybe Blake shakes this off because her first set was closest.
But not looking good, certainly. On the bright side, it would be one heck of a comeback if we did it!
Some signs of life:
* Gordon tied up her second set at 4-4
* Arbuthnott took her second set 6-3!
The problem is that Shin and Higuchi look done and headed for scorelines that, frankly, are embarrassing for a match between two heated rivals like this. Now Hart seems to be pulling away from Blake a bit, and that would be UCLA’s four points. They have options for their fourth point, and we need to shoot the moon.
On the other hand, Choy has now lost 3 straight and that set is 4-4.
This dual match has probably just seconds left before it’s clinched. Sigh.
Losing to UCLA isn’t embarrassing. But these scorelines? Those are embarrassing.
