This year, partners Rohan and co-captain Maureen Montgomery were 6 and 0 in competition all the way to the finals. Playing against Lake Norman, the Duck Woods team won one and lost two including a tiebreaker.

The eight members who were able to attend state competition included Maureen Montgomery, Diane Rohan, Nicole Bouker, Janet Colegrove, Jan Collins, Anna Hite, Penny Lobred and Lynn Watts.
