BURNSVILLE 4, JOHNSON 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the second time this week #1 Johnson lost 4-3 on the road. This time it was #4 Burnsville surprising the Governors. With Blaze winning today, the horse race for top team in the state will go down to the wire and probably be a photo finish. Depending on who is in the lineup, and that has been variable more so this year than any other year, any one of the top six teams in the state has a shot. The question is who will break the logjam?<\/p>\n

Burnsville today adjusted their lineup. Jasmine Tran was peeled away from first doubles and inserted at third singles. Tran, and the third doubles team of Katie Murray and Natalie Portwood both won their matches in three sets. Both trailed after one. The final (fourth) win came at third doubles. But looking at that score it was not in doubt. Tran\u2019s shift and win at third singles was the linchpin.<\/p>\n

There are several matchups still to take place next week prior to the big city tournaments to be held next Wednesday and Thursday. There will be two more team polls out—one on Sunday, the other next Tuesday May 9 after all the matches are decided that day. The final individual singles\/doubles poll will go out on Sunday, May 14 (Mother\u2019s day). The gap between #1 and #6 is now razor thin.<\/p>\n

FIRST SINGLES <\/strong><\/p>\n

MADDIE BLACKBOURN 2, SANDY VANG 0 <\/strong>(21-18, 22-16)<\/p>\n

Burnsville\u2019s Maddie Blackbourn turned the tables on Sandy Vang in the second match up between the two. She lost the first time at Johnson in two with the first set going extra points. Today there was no extra points, except for the miscounting in the second set where I had Blackbourn for 22. The separator today was Blackbourn took Vang\u2019s heat and best shots and was able to return them—a defensive mindset. Both players were almost even in winners (+1 for Blackbourn). Errors were another matter. Vang made more (+8), specifically serving errors. Seven to be precise. That was 16% of Blackbourn\u2019s total points scored today. To be honest, both were plagued with errors at the service line in the first set. Blackbourn cleaned it up in the second set with zero. Neither player generated much off their serve, both under 50% with their point totals. That impacted the critical odd stroke winners which Blackbourn doubled up on Vang 8-4.<\/p>\n

Vang jumped out to a 3-0 lead in set one. The rhythm of that set was back and forth early. Blackbourn got her first run to tie it at six. Then, after Vang missed a serve, tacked on three more for a 15-12 lead. She didn\u2019t relinquish the lead after that. Of the final six points for Blackbourn in that set, five came on Vang errors. A four stroke smash ended the set.<\/p>\n

Blackbourn\u2019s side out game was strong to start the second set halting Vang seven straight times. Vang was able to get the first three side outs keeping the score tight. But on Blackbourn\u2019s fourth service she came through with seven straight points capped off with two straight aces, one short. That put her in the driver\u2019s seat at 12-4. Vang did have a late rally getting her only run in the second set on her tenth service trailing 19-10. A four stroke clear got her the bird and then she added four more. I had the match over at 21-15, but they continued on for two more points.<\/p>\n

FIRST DOUBLES<\/strong><\/p>\n

BIRDY XIONG\/ALEXIS XIONG 2, SHERLYN ROJAS \/ KENZIE WRIGHT 0 (19-8, 21-7)<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is only one group that has not tasted defeat this year—that is Johnson\u2019s first doubles team of Birdy Xiong and Alexis Xiong. Today was no exception. With Burnsville\u2019s Jasmine Tran shifted over to third singles, Sheryln Rojas\u2019s new partner was Kenzie Wright. The Governors, with their intact chemistry, rolled to 7-0 and 6-0 starts in both sets on their way to double digit victories. The Johnson pair combined for six runs, sided out a combined 11\/14 times and only allowed one run. And they had superior numbers for winners 32-5. Birdy Xiong today led the way with 7 smashes in her favorite winner, while Alexis Xiong matched the 7 in soft drives.<\/p>\n

If you notice the score I charted (off a recording) indicates the Governors ended the first set two points shy of victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
