After capturing a New England title last month, a group of local women representing the Weymouth Club is in Tucson this weekend, competing for a national tennis championship.
Captained by Debbie Rust of Abington and Susan Kelly of Braintree, the squad is playing in the United States Tennis Association League 3.5 Championships at the Randolph Tennis Center.
The team earned its trip to the nationals by first winning the district championship in early August, then capturing the New England sectional title in South Hadley last month.
The team also includes Lisa Smith (Hingham), Dianne Heinold (Hull), Michelle Fallon (Weymouth), Peggy Driscoll (Milton), Patricia Lynch (Canton), Coleen Robbie (Harwich), Rosemary Dalton (South Easton), Alexi Poulos (South Boston), Susan Doherty (Hingham), Sally Bergstein (Hingham), and Ingrid Drago (Duxbury).
The Men’s 5.0 team at the Weymouth Club recently placed fourth overall at a national tournament in Indian Wells, Calif.
Alex Howard of Hingham, a former club pro, was joined by Ricardo Munar (Milton), Sebastian Quintero (Manchester), Gary Durante (Scituate), and Jeff Burton (Lexington).
