HIGHLAND PARK 5, WASHINGTON 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

And the race is on. Highland Park knocked off undefeated Washington putting the Eagles right now in a tie with Como Park. The Cougars lost in the first match of the year to Washington, but CP stopped Highland Park on Monday. Now the Scots have a win over Washington. But HP is only 2-1 in the city race, the other two are 3-1.<\/p>\n

Today the Scots swept the singles without losing a set. In fact, they their margins were 10.5 across singles. Washington picked up their two wins at second and third doubles. Again, all contests were two sets. The tightest match across the day was third doubles where Washington\u2019s margin was four. The closest set came in the second set of second doubles, which also was the only set to go to extra points. Even though Washington won the doubles, HP was gaining strength actually winning the total point battle for that second frame.<\/p>\n

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

Phlower Vang 2, Ariel Fang 0 <\/strong>(19-11, 21-10)<\/p>\n

Highland Park\u2019s Phlower Vang stayed unbeaten so far in the 2024 campaign with a two-set win over Washington\u2019s Ariel Fang. Vang\u2019s first two wins this season were three setters. Vang, last year\u2019s number two for the Scots, finished 2023 with a record of 21-2. The last two state champions (HaNeul Jeong McDonell, and Sunshine Vang) have worn the HP uniform and Vang will be looking to continue that trend.<\/p>\n

Today Vang established a clear mark in winners (26-7).<\/p>\n

The first set really didn\u2019t break to Vang until her sixth service where she got her first run of the match. The game was knotted at eight when she got a two-stroke soft drive to the right to get the bird back. Then she tacked on four more for a 13-8 lead. A combination of drives and soft drops propelled her forward. On her seventh service she added a four-point run. For some reason this set ended two points early.<\/p>\n

Fang had her only lead of the match on the first point. The game was tied at five (with two straight missed serves by Vang helping Fang\u2019s cause) when Vang initiated three straight runs, the last two being six pointers, to break away from Fang. In the first run of six out to 14-6 Vang notched six straight winners, four of which were three strokes or less. In the second run of six out to 20-8 Vang had three, but with longer stroke counts. The soft drive again proved to be the winner of choice with four. On point 19 she had a three stroke back handed soft drive to Fang\u2019s left.<\/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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
