The first set was close. Both players stopped when Vang reached 20 and Deshmukh was at 19. The margin is supposed be by two. Vang created separation in the second set and did reach the 21 mark. Part of that separation was on winners with a 13-4 spread in set two.

BETSY LUNDBERG 2, SANI DESHMUKH 0 (21-18, 25-21)
At some point the second set tally became twisted. The two players thought the match was over at 27-25. It was over, but it was only 25-21. Lundberg did have leads at 13-9 and “won” 21-17, when they continued.

DOUBLES
JOHNSON V EDINA
Doubles does not get a lot of love. I tried to correct that oversight. This was the grand experiment. I probably should have chosen a date with only one team v one team. Here are the delayed results. The #1 doubles team defeated the #2 doubles team in two sets. The first set was back and forth with only one run by Johnson out to a 10-6 lead. A 17-5 winner total in the first set explains that margin.
Set two had more runs and more drama. Johnson was up 5-2 and then 11-6 after runs of five and four. The Hornets picked up the action with two consecutive runs of three and five to pull in front. Earlier they led 2-0 in the second set. But with Alexis Xiong serving the Governors rallied with seven straight to stand on the verge at 20-15. Alexis Xiong had four of the six winners that scored in that sequence. Included in that was the longest rally (17 strokes) that ended with an Alexis Xiong smash. Sanna Coma was up for Edina and she put together her second straight run as the Hornets held off match point four times, twice thanks to smashes by Coma. Alexis Xiong ended the match with a four stroke smash. She and Birdy Xiong each had 16 winners on the day. Alexis led all players with eight smashes.
Expect more doubles reporting thanks to the recording. Now I can be in two places at once.
