The finals were true double elimination with Corr having to win both races to 7, while Shaw o­nly had to win o­ne race.  In the first race to 7, Corr jumped out to a 4-0 lead before Shaw put herself o­n the scoreboard.  Reaching the hill first at 6-2, Corr then capitalized o­n a 4-9 carom to win 7-2. 

The next match was much closer, with neither player taking any chances in any questionable situation.  Shaw made a small 3-1 lead o­n her opponent, but soon Corr battled back to go ahead 4-3.  Shaw answered with 2 games to lead 5-4, but a miss o­n the 5 ball in the tenth rack allowed Corr back to the table, where she ran out that rack and the last two racks to win 7-5. 

Jennifer Barretta won the qualifier for the 2004 U.S. Open, and Liz Scwartzreich won the Coors Light Qualifier for the 2003 WPBA Nationals.  JPNEWT wishes to thank J.
