The 2013 Bahamas IC Doubles Week
United States Defeats Bahamas 3-2 in Finals
After a week of spectacular weather, the finals of the IC Doubles Week Competition was played in blustery conditions with low clouds amid some sputtering rain on Friday. But all matches finished with the United States taking 1st place with their 3-2 victory over The Bahamas. After losing both the Senior and Junior Men's Doubles, the Bahamian Women's Doubles team of Dyphany Mortier and Susan Kimball, saved 2 match points in the 3rd set tiebreak to win 12-10 to give the Bahamas a chance to win with victories in the 2 Mixed Doubles matches.
Captain John Antonas switched things around with Susan Kimball and himself playing and winning the senior mixed but the American team of Gil and Teresa Schuerholz proved to be too strong for Dyphany Mortier and Mas Kimball and thereby sealed the victory for the IC of the USA.
