There were more people there than what the video showed. There were a decent amount of people standing in the back corner (on the Northwestern player's side) who had walked over from Kate Fahey's match on court 1. During the other matches, it did sound like Northwestern fans outnumbered the Michigan fans.
Love the eyewitness account, good stuff
An EPIC comeback just adds more fuel to this rivalry. For those who don't know, Northwestern is our top rival in W Tennis.
For many years we'd get to the tournament title match and just come up short to Northwestern. We've been to the tournament title match 14 years in a row iirc.
Couple weeks ago Northwestern beat us at the VTC in a heartbreaker, 4-3. Came down to the very end and they finished undefeated and we had one loss in the league, giving them the regular season title.
Outstanding job by Coach Bernstein. We may not host but I don't think anyone wants this team as a regional 2 seed in their bracket.
Yes, it's been 14 years straight. 3rd tournament title for the women's team.
Northwestern earned the doubles point with wins at 1 and 3 doubles. Michigan fought back with wins at 3 singles (Bri Minor) and 4 singles (Alyvia Jones). Northwestern fought back with wins at 5 and 6 singles. Kate Fahey came up big to tie the match with a third set victory at 1 singles setting the stage for Lommer's comeback at 2 singles. Go Blue!
Great win. Thanks for the update and some back story
Two-handed forehands look extremely weird.
