Hi Mandy,
This sounds like a matter of nerves and tension. The only thing is to reduce that tension. Before each point, where you are starting to feel yourself rush, take a long deep abdominal breath. Then focus on your tactic for the next point. Breathing between points is a simple way of calming yourself down.

From my own perspective I find that if I'm playing someone who's better than I am, I have nothing to lose and don't have any pressure if I lose. It's even more relaxing knowing that if I can pressure my opponent, they'll be feeling more anxiety than me as they are expected to win.
