Trumbull Racquet Club Team Earns Spot in State Championships

Trumbull, CT – The Ace Kickers, Trumbull Racquet Club’s 3.5 Women’s USTA Team, have earned a spot in the USTA Connecticut District Championships.  The Ace Kickers went 9-0 in their local league play to qualify for the Championships that will take place at various locations from August 2-4. 

 

Co-Captains Norma Zwart and Meredith Dommu lead the undefeated Ace Kickers through the 2013 season.  Zwart and Dommu were rivals in previous seasons, but decided to combine the best of their teams to create what they have dubbed a “super team.”  “With so many talented teams in the Southern Connecticut League, we felt that we would improve our chances of making it farther in the post season if we combined our two teams,” stated Zwart.  “It’s been a great season, and everyone has enjoyed getting to know one another.”

Kate Mazackova, Trumbull tennis professional, helped lead the team through their undefeated season. “There were a few matches that went down to the wire, but we did a great job in using what Coach Kate taught us,” stated Zwart.  “We loved having Coach Kate in our corner.  She has given the team a lot of great tips that have helped us all season long.”

 

The USTA Connecticut District Championships will feature the winners from local league play from Southern Connecticut, Eastern Connecticut and Vermont districts.  The winners will earn a place at the USTA New England Section Championships held August 16-18.
