CONGRATULATIONS TO JAN DEENER ON WINNING THE 5.0 WOMENS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Just over 250 players comprising 31 teams (16 men's, 15 women's) from across the country came to this tennis oasis in the California desert with their hopes high and their sights set on capturing titles at the 5.0 USTA Adult League National Championships. After a hot three-day weekend at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, Caif., it was the Southern women and who cooled off the 5.0 opposition to claim national championship crowns. The Southern women - based out of Louisville , Ky. - barely made it to the final day. With a 3-1 record in their flight, they squeaked through to the semifinals on the strengh of total number of matches won. But once championship Sunday came, the ladies from Louisville kicked their play up a notch. Southern put a halt on Pacific Northwest's ( Seattle , Wash. ) championship bid with a 2-1 win in the semifinals, then avenged their lone loss of the tournament in the finals with a 2-1 victory over Mid-Atlantic ( Richmond , Va. ). Southern's final-round victory over Mid-Atlantic was sweet redemption for an opening-day 2-1 loss. Southern's championship roster included: (Captain) Allison Evans, Janey McKenna, Jan Deener, Jaimie McRae and Spencer Moorman.
