Brannen Back on Top of Hunter Classics Amateur Women’s TourHunter Classics Amateur Women’s Tour / Lake Jackson, TXby InsidePOOL Staff Lisa Brannen showed up in the winners’ circle once again, besting a 43-player field on the Hunter Classics Amateur Women’s Tour the weekend of April 8-9. The tour held their fourth event of the year at Shooters II, and several states were represented, including Texas, Oklahoma, California, Florida, Arkansas, and New Mexico.  Eighteen-year-old Anna Kostanian ran over opponents as she made her way to the hot seat match undefeated, besting Brannen there. In the quarterfinals, Heather Lloyd was relegated to fourth place by Belinda Lee, who went on to be defeated by Brannen in the semifinals.  In the rematch with Kostanian, Brannen played strong and won the first set 7-2 to force a second set in the true double-elimination finals. The second set was a reverse of the first, as Kostanian led the match 4-1. But Brannen fought back and turned the match around to take the lead 6-5. A tricky combo on the 9 ball by Kostanian tied the match hill-hill. Though both players were at the table in the final rack, it was Brannen who was left with only two balls to sink for the victory, which she easily handled.
