When I started thinking about it, it all made sense. We were going in to this match as the 12th ranked team in the league. Shakespeare's was the 5th ranked team. Those of us familiar with March Madness pairings are well aware of the unpredictability of a 12- 5 matchup.
Add that to the fact that the number 5 ranked NCAA football team has lost the last two weeks straight (West Virginia last week and Wisconsin this week) and you've got the mixins' for a pretty major upset.
The stars were definitely in alignment. It didn't hurt that we hit the shots we needed to hit and finally came out of the first round (singles round) with the lead.
What was the best part about this victory? The fact that we probably should have won by a lot more. In about three team games we were coasting and had the rug pulled out from under us by our own complacency. We won't make that same mistake again.
Next week we we go into Old Capitol Brew Works to face a team that we have a history of beating. But that's beside the point. Tonight it's all about savoring this victory and building on it for the future.
Like any train, a Club Car takes a little while to build up steam. But once that Club Car is chugging along, I advise you steer clear.
Old Capitol Brew Works is officially on notice.
