Elias, and sophomores Carlin Wing and Colby Hall will start in the top three spots this year. Bajwa is confident that the Crimson's depth will put it over the top.

"Our middle No. 5 to 8 is very strong," Bajwa said. "I think that is where our strength lies."

Top freshman Ella Witcher, Gray's sister, will start at the fourth or fifth position this year. Endresen, Brown, freshman Lindsay Coleman, and sophomores Francis Holland and Sarah Feinberg will likely round out the Crimson lineup.

"I had never played on a team before coming here," said Ella Witcher. "There's a lot more spirit. It's great to have the team encouraging you."

As the Crimson pursue team championships this year, there are also national individual squash titles up for grabs. Wyant, who lost in the NISRA finals last year, has the best chance among both the men and women to walk away with a crown.

"I don't know what chance I have to win," Wyant said. "I just want to focus on improving my performance throughout the extended season."

For the women, Elias looks to improve upon her quarterfinal finish in last year's individual championships.

"At the Ivy scrimmages Elias went five sets with Princeton's Julia Beaver, one of the national favorites," Bajwa said. "I think [Elias] has every chance to do well and go all the way."
