Lakeland, Fla. (Jan. 28, 2017) \u2013 The new year brought new faces to the 2017 Tiger Florida Tour Women\u2019s 9-Ball Kick-off event at Brewlands Billiards in Lakeland, Florida, and new faces in the finals. \u00a0Among them Asia Cy, who made her debut on the TFT by going undefeated in the modified, double elimination format. \u00a0Cy, who just arrived in Florida days ago from North Carolina, wasted no time getting acclimated to the Florida 9-ball climate.\u00a0 Cy finished the races to 7 easily over Celia Heinbach (7-2), Janice LaRocca (7-1), Stephanie Mitchell (7-3), Donna Favors (7-3) and Michell Monk (7-6) to make it to the Finals.<\/p>\n

Favors got to the finals from the one-loss side with initial wins over Lauren Kowalski (7-3) and Lisa McElroy (7-6), then losing to Cy but defeating teen up-and-comer Kaylee McIntosh (5-3). \u00a0Favors prevailed over Nicolle Cuellar in a tough hill-hill battle in the semi-finals to take on Cy once again in the final match.\u00a0 This was Favors first time in the finals as well.\u00a0 Cy and Favors went neck and neck for the first eight games, then Cy then broke loose and won the next three games for the win.
