West advanced to semifinals with a pair of wins on Saturday over Trevor McGuinness...

Despite its youth—the Crimson was represented by two juniors, two sophomores, and two freshman—four out of the six advanced to the round of 16, more than any other school.

Guruge swept her matches on Friday, opening with a tight 9-5, 3-9, 9-2, 5-9 victory over Princeton’s Jackie Moss and following...
