In December of last year, Stephanie Yee and Pascale Siu decided to create a competitive USTA 40+ team. Over a seven-month stretch, the team went undefeated and earned a first place standing in 10 regular-season league matches. The team then went on to win two consecutive playoff matches in April, followed by three wins in three straight days at the District championships in May, and three Sectional championship matches in Sacramento on June 7-8. With the win, the team became the Northern California Sectionals Champion and earned a spot to compete in the Nationals in Palm Springs this fall.
