Another winter sport goes out with a bang this weekend.

The Harvard squash team's season is a fait accompli--and a pretty good one, at that: Another double national championship, even if the men's title was a bit tainted.

But this weekend brings the national individual championships, the final challenge for the Crimson's top players.

The undefeated women's team will send an unprecedented seven players to the tournament--junior Jordanna Fraiberg, junior Vanya Desai, sophomore Libby Eynon, senior Co-Captains Carrie Cunningham and Kathy Shergalis and freshmen Erin Dockery and Blair Clark.

Only Co-Captain Marty Clark and junior Adrian Ezra--the 1991 champion--will play in the men's bracket, but those two players are expected to be the first and second seeds of the 64-player affair.

Desai is the top seed of the women's bracket. Fraiberg, who has played in the last two finals and is the defending women's champion, is seeded third and Eynon is seeded fifth.

Unstoppable

And this weekend, the women's squash team looks as unstoppable as the force of gravity.

"There are some good players from Franklin and Marshall and Vassar, but probably most of our competition is each other," Cunningham said.

That competition alone, however, is enough to make life interesting. Each of Harvard's top three women has a strong shot at the title.

Franklin and Marshall's Margo Green (the second seed) is the only non-Harvard player that is a serious threat.

But Fraiberg says there's "no tension" between Harvard team members.

"We all want to play our best," she said.

But if the quest for national honor pits Harvard women against one other, it does the same for Harvard men.

Though the men's team will send only two players to this year's individual tournament (three others were selected but elected to stay behind because they were "behind in their schoolwork," according to Clark), but what a crew: Ezra and Clark.
