Canadians Rally Past U. S. To Capture 2012 Can-Am Cup
by Rob Dinerman
Dateline October 29th --- After falling well behind late Saturday afternoon, the Canadian team finished off that day with a strong surge to deadlock matters (at 35 points apiece), then dominated the middle-aged groups in the decisive “lightning-round” on Sunday to emerge with a thoroughly deserved 43.5-40.5 triumph in the third biennial Can-Am Cup, held this year in Buffalo. Each of the two Canadian Open women’s teams, Steph Edmison/Jess DiMauro and Seanna Keating/Steph Hewitt, scored victories over the No. 1 American pairing of Dana Betts and Emily Lungstrum (with Edmison/DiMauro also out-playing Natalie Grainger and Kelsey Engman to jump-start Canada’s Saturday comeback), and former ISDA pro standouts Scott Stoneburgh, Michael Pirnak, Alan Grant, Pat Richardson and Chris Deratnay all contributed important wins, especially, as noted, in the Sunday wrap-up, during which Team Canada won 13 of the day’s 18 men’s matches to provide the margin of victory.
