2019 PNW USTA League 18 & Over Champions Crowned

This weekend found the PNW USTA League 18 & Over Sectionals being played in Portland.  My preview said it was a balanced and wide open event with no district overwhelmingly favored, and it turned out that was the case.

Here are the teams that won it all and are now qualified for Nationals.

Women

• 2.5 - Robinswood-Schultze (NWW) beat Pro Sports Club-Robertson (NWW) 3-0
• 3.0 - Eastside TC-Wyer (NWW) beat Portland TC-Casey/Johnson (N OR) 3-2
• 3.5 - Salem T&SC Chamberlain-Horn (S OR) beat Eastside TC-Hubbard (NWW) 3-2
• 4.0 - Stafford Hills-Zielinski (N OR) beat TCSP-McCoy (NWW) 4-1
• 4.5 - Gorge AC-Kinsfogel (E WA) beat Salem T&SC-Fraser/Heikila (S OR) 4-1
• 5.0+ - Vancouver TC-Kowalewski (N OR) beat TCSP-Gleason/Bassetti (NWW) 2-1

Men

• 3.0 - Portland TC-Bracken/Bui (N OR) beat Eastside TC-Acuario (NWW) 3-2
• 3.5 - Tri-Cities CC-Kohan (E WA) beat Central Park-Paulson (NWW) 4-1
• 4.0 - Vancouver TC-Won (N OR) beat Stafford Hills-Williams/Monson (N OR) 4-1
• 4.5 - Mercer Island-Glick (NWW) beat Amy Yee TC-Ngeth (NWW) 3-2
• 5.0+ - West Hills-Dusicka (N OR) beat Mercer Island-Murphy (NWW) 2-1

The totals by district are:

1. Portland - 5
2. Seattle - 3
3. Eastern Washington - 2
4. Southern Oregon - 1

This is reasonably balanced, still a bias towards the larger cities with Portland beating out Seattle.

Congratulations to all the teams that competed, and good luck to those headed to Nationals!
