Nationals first day

In a group for the under21s with Jessica Dawson, Tressa Armitage and Janay Gibson Maria finished second with wins against Tressa 3-2 and Janay 3-1, losing to Jess 3-0 (6 8 7). Maria let Jess play her game rather than dominate with big and fast shots. Overall though a success considering Tressa is above her in ratings and all girls older than her.
