The Tufts University women's squash team played its first intercollegiate match yesterday, but unfortunately for them, it was against a potent Radcliffe team which decimated Tufts 7-0.

Julia Moore, the 'Cliffe's number two player, began the deluge by besting her foe, 3-0, with an assortment of drop shots. Moore's opponent, Martha Wyckoff, could only garner seven points in the first two games, and 11 in the last game.

Radcliffe captain and number one player Susie Hardy reversed her downward trend, winning 3-2. Handy's serve helped her down her adversary, Susette Nilnor, but not until Nilnor made some spectacular retrievals, digging many balls out from the back wall.

Susanna deSola, playing number three for Radcliffe, again put on the most impressive performance, winning 3-0, and relinquishing only 20 points in the process. Against Bowdoin on Saturday, deSola held her opponent to only 19 points.

At number four, Emmi Levin bested Laurie Gallagher, a converted tennis player with very powerful strokes and a hard tennis-like serve. Although Levin took the match 3-0, Gallagher did not succumb easily, losing 15-13, 18-14, and 15-10.

Radcliffe's Jane Hadsel, playing number five, won her match 3-1, while Elisabeth Schafer won 3-2 in the most bizarre match of the day. Schafer's foe Lisa Doyle took a 12-0 lead in the first before Schafer replied with 12 unanswered points and went on to win the game.

The massacre of Tufts finally concluded when Becky Niles, playing number seven, put her foe down in three straight games.
