Catherine Parenteau and Anna Leigh Waters have come out on top four times in their previous five encounters. The anticipation is noticeable as they prepare for another intense showdown.
The Kawamoto Sisters’ Absence
Notably absent from the tournament are the Kawamoto sisters, Jackie Kawamoto and Jade Kawamoto, who currently rank 16th and 17th respectively. Their commitment to full-time NCAA jobs has sidelined them from this marquee event.
