USHA FOUR-WALL NATIONALS

DAY 5 — Play concluded Sunday with several doubles finals throughout the morning. 

In the Women’s Doubles Final, Catriona Casey and Fiona Tully defeated Ashley Moler and Mikaila Esser in two games. The Irish tandem played flawless throughout the match. Esser and Moler made a late run at the end of game two but it was too late, as they fell 21-4, 21-11. 

The Men’s Open Doubles final between Diarmaid Nash and Martin Mulkerrins vs Max Langmack and Sam Esser was one of the matches of the tournament. Langmack and Esser came out firing game one to stun the irish team but could not take advantage in game two or three. Despite a day removed from an incredible Men’s Open Singles final, Nash and Mulkerrins found enough energy to win 17-21, 21-15, 11-4. 

Thanks to all players who participated in the tournament and to the incredible people and players in Portland who volunterred and planned the tournament!

DAY 4 — We crowned several singles champions on Saturday including the Men’s and Women’s Open Singles champions.

Catriona Casey put on an amazing display of handball in her victory over Fiona Tully in the Women’s Final. Casey’s precision and ability to go a whole match without making a mistake was incredible and propelled her to the win. 

The Men’s Final was one of the best national finals to be played in years. Diarmaid Nash overcame Martin Mulkerrins in an 11-9 tiebreaker after dropping the first game. The gallery was stunned at the ability of both of these players. Nash’s hands in the front court were unbelievable. He was able to handle Mulkerrin’s power and dump shots in the corner by taking speed off the ball. It was an amazing display. 

Several other champions were crowned Saturday.
