Results from Pacific Northwest's 18 & Over USTA League Sectionals

A big weekend of playoffs is complete, the PNW contributing its 18 & Over Sectionals, and being from the section I always like to look at who won and the distribution across the districts.

The last few years, the Seattle area has dominated (formally known as Northwest Washington or NWW) and sent by far the most teams to Nationals, 10 of the 12 teams last year.  Did this change this year?

The 2.5 women had the full complement of eight teams, Robinswood (NWW) and Eugene (Southern Oregon) making the finals with Robinswood winning.

The 2.5 men had just three teams, two from NWW and Eastside (NWW) won the round-robin easily.

The 3.0 women had Robinswood (NWW) and Lakewood (Southwest Washington) in the final with Robinswood coming out on top.

For the 3.0 men, Clackamas River (Northern Oregon) and Eastside (NWW) made the final with Eastside winning easily.

The 3.5 women saw two NWW teams in the final with Sand Point besting Robinswood.

Same for the 3.5 men, Robinswood and Mill Creek faced off from NWW with Mill Creek winning.

The 4.0 women saw NWW absent from the final with Cascade (NOR) and Valley (SWW) playing and Cascade getting the close win.

The 4.0 men saw NWW back with Mercer Island (NWW) beating Lake Oswego (NOR) in the final.

At the 4.5 level the women's final had Nordstrom (NWW) face Green Meadows (NOR) and Green Meadows come out on top.

The men's 4.5 final had Spokane (Eastern Washington) face Amy Yee (NWW) and Amy Yee coming out on top.

The 5.0+ women was round-robin with Sunset (NOR) winning the flight.

The 5.0+ men saw two Northern Oregon teams face off with Glendoveer beating West Hills.

Totaling things up by district:

  • NWW (Seattle) - 8
  • NOR (Portland) - 4

This is not as dominant as last year, Portland did step up, but Seattle still takes the bulk of the wins and sends teams to Nationals.

Congratulations all!  40 & Over Sectionals in less than two weeks now!
