...Harvard women’s squash team left its mark on the CSA Individual Championships at the Naval Academy with both titles and upsets, and for the second consecutive year returned to Cambridge with some hardware for the trophy case. Sophomore Johanna Snyder, snubbed by the selection committee for placement in the A draw, stormed through the 51-person Holleran Cup, or “B” Bracket as the No. 1 seed to seize the title. “I was a little disappointed not to be in the main draw,” Snyder said...
...director Wesman says. Much of the show’s humor is derived from the juxtaposition of the academic and the sexual. In one of the first episodes, Colleen, a woman who is obsessed with success but is also wondrously lazy, and Dunston, a suave private school squash player, must assess the theory of countervalence of the auditory and the physical in intimate experiences.

The fifth-place finish capped a long season for the young team, which started only freshman and sophomores for most of the year.

In the quarterfinals, the Crimson beat No. 5 Western Ontario, 6-3. But in the semifinals, Harvard could not beat longtime foe No. 1 Trinity and suffered a loss of 9-0. In its last match of the tournament, Harvard lost to Ivy League rival Yale, 6-3. “We knew we were going to have a really tough competition...
Still, it’s hard to imagine this squad ending Trinity’s reign anytime soon unless it can land players like Suchde and Oren. In the world of collegiate squash, while coaching and training can have an impact, it ultimately comes down to the talent of the players on the roster. Even a year’s worth of intense training won’t be enough to erase all of the 26 zeroes Harvard put up on the scoreboard against the Bantams last Wednesday...
