Willowbrook Division 1 Central Team Wins NITTL
We're incredibly proud of our Division 1 Central Tennis Team for winning their division of the Northern Illinois Traveling Tennis League (NITTL) for the second year in a row.
On Friday, May 13, we hosted Wheaton for the Division 1 Central Women’s championship match. The match came down to a single point for the win.
Our #1 team of Courtney Shuster and Cece Hopkins won the last point on a backhand angle drop shot to seal the win.
Our #4 team of Christi Cashman and Nancy Williford scored a ½ point by splitting their match, and our #3 court of Cathy Evangelist and Susy Tuthill won 1 point to give our team the 2½ to 1/½ point victory.
If you see this team of champions in the club, give them a high-five: Susy Tuthill, Margaret Chung, Cathy Evangelist, Christi Cashman, Mary Kubalanza, Carol Strzala, Kim Maximovich, Nim Hunter, Cece Hopkins, Wendy Lienhart, Courtney Shuster, Nancy Williford, and Julie Bosso.
Chef Laura surprised the team with rum butter cake, chocolate mousse, and personalized tennis cookies and cupcakes at a special luncheon in their honor.
Thanks to Coach Bill Alex and Maryann Lappe for their leadership.
