Hutchison fell valiantly to GPS in the TSSAA Division 2 AA State Semifinal on Tuesday. While the final score appeared to reflect a lopsided 4-0 Bruiser win, the match was in fact a razor thin affair.
The Sting dropped the doubles point in a tiebreak in the number three double match. The Sting were in or headed to a third set in three of the six singles matches when the GPS clinched the match at the number five slot.
With the loss, the Sting's team season ends with a record of 15-3.
Hutchison will be represented in the State Individual tournament on Thursday by the Doubles pairs of Maggie Leavell & Caroline Orr and Neely Leavell & Grace Garrott.
