\u201cThere\u2019s a few of us fighting for that fourth and final spot,\u201d Richardson said.<\/p>\n
Richardson, 25, came into the tournament ranked second but finished fourth in the women\u2019s open \u2013a result she was disappointed with.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t ideal,\u201d Richardson said, \u201cI had a few upsets on me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of the other provincial representatives at the tournament, Danielle Drury of Saskatoon and Cassie Prentice of Macrorie finished sixth and seventh respectively in the women\u2019s open while Martensville\u2019s Debbie Frattinger placed fourth in the women\u2019s novice event.<\/p>\n

Loren Prentice, who coaches for River Racquet in Saskatoon, was content with the performances by Saskatchewan\u2019s representatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it went quite well,\u201d Prentice said \u201cMaybe not as great as some may have hoped going in but by in large I think they all did pretty well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
