Hurst wins in San Diego

Stacy Hurst

Stacy Hurst came back from the one loss side to defeat former California State Champion Tina Pawlowski 9-2 and won the second stop on the Southern California Womens Billiards Tour at College Billiards in San Diego this weekend.
 
Pawlowski looked to be on her way to the tournament win when she defeated Patti Hodge for the hot seat but Hurst came back to redeem her earlier loss to Hodge and set up the final match with Pawloski.
 
Patti Hodge had her best tournament yet with wins over eventual winner Hurst and Stefanie Nakagawa.
 
Lori Buendorf took 4th place with Cassie Anderson and Nakagawa finishing tied for 5th.
