Beautiful desert weather marked a memorable weekend for the Intermountain Section women’s team (from Colorado Athletic Club Monaco) as they overcame a challenging field to win the USTA League Adult 18 & Over 4.5 National Championships at the Rancho Las Palmas Country Club.

The Monaco squad, representing the Intermountain Section, triumphed over the Southern Section team from Hattiesburg, MS, 3-2, to win the 4.5 National Championship.

“We’ve had a great time, everything’s been really great,” said Intermountain team captain Katherine Nicolson. “I’m really excited. I’m still really in shock. We are a very close team and have an awesome sisterhood. One of our doubles players Mary Moses actually played with a cast on her arm the whole tournament and she killed it for us!”

This marks the second consecutive year that a team from Colorado has won the crown at the USTA League National Championships. Last year, teams from CAC Inverness and Washington Park Tennis Club claimed national titles.

Earlier in the day, Intermountain Section defeated the Northern Section women from Minneapolis, 3-2, in a semifinal encounter. The Southern Section women’s team advanced to the final after scoring a 4-1 semifinal victory over the Caribbean Section team from Mayaguez, P.R.
