A Tucson women's team representing the USTA Southwest Section, captured the national title in the 7.0 division at the 2008 USTA League Super Senior National Championships. The event was held at the Surprise Tennis and Racquet Complex in Surprise, AZ, April 24-26; it was the first time a National League Championship was hosted there.
The women's team defeated a team from Goshen, NY, 3-0 in the championship match - after earlier besting a team from Georgetown, TX, 2-1 in the semifinals. The Tucson ladies swept through their Flight winning all three matches against teams from Pacific Northwest (Richland, WA), Missouri Valley (St. Louis, MO) and New England (East Lyme, Conn.)
