[DUEL Lem]

Battlefield Earth went down tonight, and I had the privilege of calling it! The first match was quick and close, but Jacen took the win with a score of 5-3.5 in 8. Sarah took the lead quickly in the second match and was leading 3.5-1.5 after 4 rounds, but Jacen came back to take the lead with 4-3.5 in round 6. Sarah scored in round 7 and 8 to take the win at 5.5-4 in 8 rounds. Which brought us to the third and final match. Jacen led most of the third match, but Sarah tied it up at 4 all in the 9th round. She then defended 2 consecutive attacks to seal the match at 5-4 in 11! Sarah defends the Tower of Earth!

Note: The overall score was 14-13 after 3 duels. Only 1 point separated them at the end of the night.
