The 7th Annual Pioneer Valley Women’s Open, hosted at the Field Club of Longmeadow, was a huge success with 24 teams and weather that was just perfect! The day was busy but well coordinated by the tournament directors Asa Nilsson and Kate Morneau as well as by two paddle enthusiasts’ Tom Kietzman and Per Nilsson.

Lindsey Herchel and Mary Gambale, in their matching hats, defeated last year’s champions, Kelly Canniff and Yvonne Ting. The Consolation winners, after six matches, were sisters Anna Asphar and Mary Stichter. The Consolation Reprieve title went to Leslie Haskins and Polly Handy while the Quarter Reprieve title went to Kerry Alvino and Natalie Sanders.

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to all the women who participated!
