EDEN PRAIRIE 5, HUMBOLDT 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a battle of raptors in Eden Prairie today with the host #6 Eagles beating the #7 Humboldt Hawks. EP split the singles taking the first two spots and sweeping the doubles. Humboldt outpointed EP in the singles category, but the tightest matches took place at doubles despite what the margins indicated. Four of the seven doubles sets were decided by three points or less with EP taking three. Second doubles proved to be the tightest as it was the only match that went to three sets and all three sets were decided by the slim margins. The sister duo of Alexa and Ashtyn Bernardy also had to rally from one set down to claim that victory at second doubles for EP.<\/p>\n

Maya VARIKUTI 2, Wah Chri PAW 0
\n<\/strong>(reported & recorded 21-18, 21-15)<\/p>\n

Eden Prairie\u2019s Maya Varikuti used a solid side out game and kept Humboldt\u2019s Wah Chri Paw bottled up allowing only two runs during the entire match. Varikuti also minimized her errors while taking advantage of gifts from her opponent.<\/p>\n

The early phase of set one was spent with five straight side outs. On Varikuti\u2019s fifth service she notched her first run to build a 10-4 lead. At this point Varikuti had eight of her ten points on winners with drives predominating for four points. Paw got the bird back and had the longest string of the first set with five point starting with a two stroke soft drive. For the day Paw had six of her nine soft drives on the two stroke. That tightened the score to 10-9. Paw only had one lead in the set and it came two services later at 13-12 after five stroke clear to the left corner. But missed serves would bite her and cut her momentum down. Three straight times her service ended on missed serves, the only points for Varikuti during this stretch. Varikuti reclaimed the lead at 15-13 with her second run and then stretched it out to 19-15 two services later. Paw fought back with what would prove to be her last run of the match after a six stroke smash gave her the bird back. With the score 19-18 Paw had a back hand hitting error into the net on the third stroke and then finished set one with a three stroke smash.<\/p>\n

In set two Varikuti had the only runs with the first coming on her third service. Paw did not get any traction on her serve with no runs in the second set, and only three service points. Paw did have more winners in the set (8-7), but the errors proved fatal. Once again Paw did battle back and held a 12-11 lead but the serve sailed deep on the next bird and that started a five point run for Varikuti (16-12). She did not allow Paw to score on her last three services.<\/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
