Team Ida Lee won the 20th annual Leesburg Cup championship at the Ida Lee Tennis Center on Sept. 16, according to a press release from the Town of Leesburg.
"The local team finished one point better than runner-up Middleburg Tennis Club and took two matches during Sunday’s decisive last round to edge Middleburg by a score of 9 to 8 in total matches won," said a press release.
Kitty Foster captained the Ida Lee squad, and helped provide the winning margin of victory Sunday when she turned back MTC’s Kim Smithers in a pivotal head-to-head singles matchup. Foster rallied from 1-4 down in the first set to win 6-4, 6-2 and assure Ida Lee at least a tie for the Cup.
