After splitting early matches, the duel hinged on the deciding flight. The Crusaders harnessed their season-long poise, executing deep returns and forcing errors at key moments. Their ability to maintain focus during extended rallies served as the difference, as they closed out the match collectively. This victory marked the eighth straight for W-C and underscored their balanced depth: each lineup spot contributed, and the doubles teams blended aggressive net play with consistent baseline defense. Their early-season struggles have been replaced by a confident attack capable of dictating points and absorbing pressure. Ranked No. 21 in the Division 3 power standings, the Crusaders are set to carry this late-season form into the playoffs. With a roster that combines experience and versatility, W-C has the weapons to challenge higher-seeded teams and make a deep tournament run.
