"We needed a perfect day in order to qualify, but we don't always live in a perfect world," remarked C-L coach Howard Lippenga. "For the most part, though, the girls did very well and it's what I expected. We finished in third place at that Regional and I'm pretty happy with that."

The Lady Pioneers were led by the No. 3 doubles team of Meagan Semeyn and Tone Guevara, who advanced to the championship match in their flight. They defeated Clintondale (6-0, 6-0) and Richmond (6-3, 6--4) before falling to St. Clair (3-6, 2-6) in the championship match.

In six other flights, Cros--Lex players had first round byes and all won their quarterfinal matches before being eliminated in the semis.
