Sandy returned to the DFW Metroplex Open this year which started with Friday's Mixed Doubles 501 with L- Style teammate Ryan Barnette, but after the National playoff earlier she was in no condition to play and they went down in the first round. Still hurting Saturday, she and Marlise Kiel also lost their first round doubles match but rebounded nicely on Sunday winning in Cricket. Ryan and their partner Steve made a 2nd round exit in Mixed Triples losing to the eventual winners. She played best in singles, finishing 2nd to Lisa Ayers in 501 and winning her 8th title of the year in Cricket over Pam Briggs. It was the 60th tournament singles title of her career. She also accomplished a rare feat by winning championships on the same day in two different states as her hometown team, "The Usual Suspects" captured their league record 12th City Cup Championship. Also it was great to see ADO President Chris Helms at the event, he was in good spirits and is coming back nicely after his accident last year. Also wanted to thank the tournament staff for an excellent job running the event on schedule all weekend.
