Congratulations to Lusky Team on TSC Silver medal
After the second TransAtlantic Senior Cup Round Robin, the top 7 teams chose their opponents from the bottom 9 teams.
Team Argentina, which had won the Round Robin, chose the USA Reynolds team. Reynolds defeated Argentina in the Round of 16, but lost to Lithuania in the Quarterfinal.
Round Robin second place team Poland Amber Baltic chose the USA Lusky team (Lusky-Falk, Aker-Simson, Casen-Krekorian, Doub-Merblum, Milgrim-Rigal). Lusky not only defeated Poland Amber Baltic, but also defeated Austria in the Quarterfinal and Turkey in the Semifinal, before losing to Lithuania in the Final. Well done by both these USA teams, losing only to the eventual winners of the event!
It just goes to show you shouldn't underestimate USA teams!
