The doubles team of Emily Day (Torrance, California) and Betsi Flint (Phoenix, Arizona) earned a comeback 2-1 (19-21, 21-19, 18-16) victory against April Ross/Caitlin Ledoux in the women’s AVP Seattle Beach Open championship match on June 25 at Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah.

“It has been an amazing experience here in Seattle and having a win early in the season feels great,” Flint said in a press release. “And winning against April Ross, who is the best in the game is just a special feeling.”

Day concurred with her teammate’s sentiment.

“Today’s win feels great, it’s nice to have the experience of having a championship under our belt,” Day said in a press release. “April is one of the best players in the world and she and Caitlin played great all weekend, so it was definitely a battle on the court.”
