After losing to May-Treanor and Walsh, 21-8, 21-8, in under 30 minutes, Hughes and Day experienced the waiting game on the AVP Tour to see who they would face in the contender's bracket. They ended up playing Jenny Kropp and Jenny Pavley, who had lost to Team Gorgeous -- Michelle More and Suzanne Stonebarger -- 21-9, 21-13.

"It was just so exciting," said Day. "I think we were smiling and laughing the whole time. During the games, we would watch what our opponents were doing and say to each other that we should learn how to do that."

Their time in the main draw was short-lived as they lost, 21-13, 21-15, in 35 minutes to Kropp-Pavley, but the memories from this experience will last longer for them than their two matches today.

"It is our dream to play out here when we grow up," said Hughes.

The property's unique details begin with the hot-dipped galvanized picket gate that opens onto the driveway leading to the house. A two-color brick exterior with limestone accents and horizontal banding is enhanced by green and red shingles. Architect and builder Jim Peterson's use of Indian slate-filled steel channels and dormers with copper siding hints at the design surprises just inside the front door where the structural steel channels are repeated in the entry.
